AnimeNewsNetwork has confirmed that the Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit anime series will premiere on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on August 24.

Moribito is an adaptation if Nahoko Uehashi's fantasy novel of the same name about a wandering spearwoman named Balsa. Scholastic published an English edition of this novel last month, and I'm looking forward to reading it--it gives off a vaguely Inuyasha-ish historical fantasy vibe, and I really like the cover.
