# Where to Watch The Faraway Paladin

**The Faraway Paladin streams on Crunchyroll, and it's a warm, thoughtful fantasy that stands apart from the usual isekai crowd. Raised by three kindly undead in a dead city, its hero grows up gentle and grounded before setting out into the wider world. Slower and more heartfelt than most, it's a treat for fans who want fantasy with soul.**

## Where to Watch

Crunchyroll is where to stream it. The first season tells a complete arc while opening a larger journey, so it works well as an entry point.

## Synopsis

In the ruins of a long-dead city, far from any living soul, a human boy named Will is raised by three undead guardians: a stalwart skeleton warrior, a gentle mummified priestess, and a cantankerous ghost mage. They pour their knowledge and love into him, and as he grows he begins to ask the questions that will shape his life — who he is, and who he wants to become. Learning the histories of gods both merciful and mad, Will eventually steps out of his quiet home to walk the path of a Paladin.
