I know I haven’t written in a while, but I’ve been going through quite a few personal issues for a while, plus writer’s block. In the meantime, I have still been watching anime, and though the last one won’t get a review, this one definitly will. Though it wasn’t as creative and original as some others I’ve seen, it was still very good.
It starts out with a young girl named Akari living at her aunt’s house. Her mother passed away when she was just two years younger, and there is no mention of her father. One evening, something strange happens with her cousin Fuyuna, who is normally her best friend. Fuyuna has turned into a strange beast and sneaks into her room to attack her. Just as Akari thinks she will die, three strange girls appear in the window and kill the beast. At first, Akari hadn’t realized it was Fuyuna, but finding out later leads to even more discoveries.
These three girls soon show up later when Akari discovered she is what is known as an “Elemental Tarots.” Being a fortune teller by trade, Akari knows all about Tarot cards, but she had no idea they were also special warriors taking down evil demon-like creatures. But Akari learns that she, and she alone, can hear their words before they die. Soon, the girls begin to depend on Akari to hear the demon’s dying words. But a special kind of demon appears and begins causing more trouble for them all, including kidnapping Akari. It will take all of the Elemental Tarot girls to save Akari, including one they thought had dissappeared for good.
It’s a pretty good anime with good characters, and despite being similar to a few others I have seen, it’s still worth a watch. I got attached to the characters pretty fast and discovered how well-rounded they were as well. Excellent character design and depth earns this anime a 7.8 out of 10 on my rating scale.
