Some of these shows I've actually owned for three years and still haven't watched! It's positively ridiculous that I haven't finished Monster yet. I stopped in the middle because of some RL stuff and never picked it back up until now...

Yeah, I've seen and I share that complaint about Seirei no Moribito, without knowing quite why either. It's a perfectly sensible, perfectly reasonable series, which might be the reason -- there should be no harm in tapping into the anime world's inherent craziness sometimes, when the premise is already solid. I don't want to say it's a predictable series, but it establishes the characters' roles and the possibilities of the storyline early on, from which it seldom if ever deviates, and it consistently fulfills a viewer's expectations without surpassing them. Nonetheless, it's still consistently enjoyable (and miraculously without any periods of drag before the climax), so I'd still recommend you finish it.

The same author released a set of novels, The Beast Player, with an anime adaptation that airs in January, which I thought sounded really interesting. It's about a girl who can "control the greatest of beasts as if she was playing a musical instrument. However, she gets embroiled in a war for supremacy between kingdoms." Your to-watch list is already enormous, so I'll let you know how it is about halfway through the series. ^^;;
