| It may end up going up a little bit after completing, considering the scores from people who finished this show will end up outweighing those who scored it after dropping it, but I really doubt it. If anything, it'll stay in the very low 7's and high 6's considering most people agree that this show isn't too hot. |
 |
| I remember when this show was in the 7.2 range.... I had a feeling it would drop to the 6's. It was a show that looked promising (from the synopsis and first episode) and turned out to be a letdown, like Seiken no Blacksmith. Ironically, both shows have to same score (6.99). EDIT: Arcana Famiglia dropped to 6.98.  |

| I hate how anime is so focused on Liberta and Nova, puting them in scenes where they should not be and rest main characters from game cast are "supporting" characters in anime. Really, I don't know how I should rate this series... I little disappointed... |

EDIT: Arcana Famiglia dropped to 6.98. LOL I saw that. Unless the Duello is able to make up for ALL THE CRAP that they gave us for 10 episodes (not counting episode 1) then maybe the score will end up raising up. It's getting at least a 5 or low 6 from me depending on the next episode. |
|
| I honestly don't think it's that bad. I enjoy it a lot, then that's based on opinion. I gave it an 8 so far but people do tend to wait till the series ends to give it a proper mark. |
 |
| I think people had mis aligned expectations from the show completely ignoring its genre or the type of game it was an adaptation of, I love this anime. |

For starters, I'm sure many people (like myself) were unaware of the subject of the original game. The first episode made the series out to be a cool action-oriented series with some reverse harem. Then, with the second episode and after, we get something completely different. But, even putting aside all that, it's still a terrible show. Why? 1) Awful characters. Someone mentioned Felicita has a bland personality, and this sums her up well but fits the typical reverse-harem protagonist role. Still, they could have at least tried to make her interesting. Even the other characters have about one defining trait about them and...that's about it. Nova is the cool, smart, and talented kid. Liberta is the rash and idealistic boy. Jolly is the guy with the mysterious role and ambiguous loyalties. Shall I continue? 2) Awful plot. Wait, what plot? The first episode introduces the idea of the Duello, but after that, it gets shoved to the side until the very end. What do we have in-between? Episodes that accomplish nothing and barely develop the characters (flashbacks do NOT count as character development, by the way), and some sort of lead-up to Mondo and everyone's relationship to the Tarocco, which lead me to the next two points... 3) Awful pacing. We have entire episodes dedicated to absolutely nothing and contribute nothing to the overall story or do nothing to develop the characters. Case and point: the second episode where they find a cat and the cat's owner. 4) Deus Ex Machina everywhere! People's powers seem to be way too convenient for all the problems that pop up. Felicita loses her memories? Oh look, here's someone who has the power to bring back lost memories! *facepalm* I have this series so far pegged at a 3 or 4. Which one it'll be will depend on the ending. I think an overall score of less than 7 is an adequate reflection of this series. |
| ^ Worst argument ever. And there is no character development, lol. |
|
| this is a lot better than any other otome game adaptation. i haven't watched hakuouki from 2nd season, though. |
| 7 points if Liberta and Nova make out 8 points if Debito gets jealous 9 points if Dante ntr's Mondo from Sumire and a perfect 10 if Felicità admits she's really a trap Am I into BL? hell no, but beats what's been playing in the last few episodes... 6 is actually being generous for this series |
melina_putri said: ihateeveryone said: ^ Worst argument ever. And there is no character development, lol. The meaning of development in otome games is more like a relationship development rather than the characters finding their resolve or something like that like in shounen games. Though I have played the game and I have to agree there is almost no relationship development aside Liberta and Nova in this anime. To fit the story into 12 episodes, they cut lots of contents from the game and making other characters have almost no screen time. Looks like making an adaptation from a game with only 12 episodes seems to ends up in a failure, like Shining Hearts last season.. Then again, some adaptation that got 24-26 episodes are still doesn't really good as well but at least these series suffered less cut of the contents. Yeah, I was gonna say that the relationship development isn't that good either. I would've elaborated last night but I was on my DS. |

| Lol it lowered again |
| Hehe 6.84. I know I contributed to that, rated this JC Turd production a 5. |

TensaiShonen said: 6 is actually being generous for this series Exactly, i mean what does a series which was basically all filler, with a horrible ending truly deserve....6 is mad generous. I'm actually surprised the 6.84 isn't lower |

| Last update 6.78 and I'm sure will go down even more. |
 |
| One of the Weakest show of the season??? Then I should avoid it. LOL |

| Surprisingly I found this to be a very cute anime. And expecting that this is an anime based on an otome game, then it explains quite a bit. Most otome games don't usually present their plots in ways most ppl would want it to be. Most of the time since it's targeted for girls they would just add some cute romantic fluff most of the time, which does make it quite cheesy and lame. |
| Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars. |

| I would give a 6.53 |
| Funny, I actually found it a fine watch. With a '...' ending. Is Fel even that strong? -_- Yes, apparently. >.> But Fel does win in the endings of the game after all. |
| 6.51 |
|
| LOL this is f*** hilarious. |
 |
I wouldn't say it was the worst of the season. I agree. It wasn't the worst but the main reason why people hate on it is because the show had a LOT of potential and had a really cool plot idea but it just wasted it on filler and then a redundant and rushed ending. |
| It was the worst anime of the year, no doubt about it. It sounded interesting in the beginning, but then what happens? Bad character development and an uninteresting story. Hell, even the tournament (the thing that made me watch it, mind you) wasn't until the final episode and the fights were shorter than anything I've ever seen in a tournament. And if you think the MAL score is bad, 6.51, then listen to this; The rating it has on AniDB is... Wait for it... Wait for it... 1.81! |
| I'm a douche. Deal with it. |

| Lol the second this show started airing my friend starting watching this, i told him without even seeing a ep that it was going to suck, all the sign pointed towards it, now that it was horrendously bad I rag on him for not listening to me. And no, he didnt enjoy it. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

Opinions are needed in this forum, bad or good it doesn't matter, here you find if this show is worth watching, for example, If I had come here before starting watching this I would never finish it in the first place because like many people said, 1st episode was fine, and watching the remaining episodes just made me think "why don't I skip to the duel episode? " I guess I could have done it but even the last episode was so damn boring. I gave it a 6 anyway, better than looking at the air... This would have been better made if the romance came trough her servant but the plot had to be completely changed, I found his character artstyle more appealing g despite his personality. |
