| I was not expecting anything when I started this, so in the end I was not disappointed. The Arcana Duello in one episode feels rushed when it could have at least been 2-3 episodes at least. Anyway it was a typical reverse harem ending, no more, no less. I'm only thankful it was this short and not drag on and on. 5/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| THe first episode was good,then 10 episode of absolute nothingness...now this pointless predictable ending.They could have made this arcana duelo longer like a fight per episode instead of those fillers and it would have been okay,instead ughh Too bad,some of the characters were likeable like Debito,the art was amazing,the first episode was very good,it also had a soundtrack that played every episode that I love,the rest was dull especially Bambina I'll give it a 6/10 because of the art and chars but it's pretty bad |

| Okay... I was expecting alot from this anime when i watched episode 1. I was thinking like this anime would be on par with say Yu Yu Hakusho or Flame of Recca. NO! Been waiting forever for the arcana duello to happen. I got desperate when it reached episode 11 and the duel has yet to begin. And when it happens... *poof* *facepalm* 1 episode of nothingness except forced symetry... of course Felicita wouldn't have problem defeating Debito, Pace and (the other guy) Nova and Liberta just spar and it ended in less then 5 minutes. (for me in real time) I was like... okay.... Then i saw the time bar of the anime... 19 minutes in... Then suddenly a light shone to my room, an ephiphany has reached me. A realisation that i have wasted 20 minutes no... make that 240 minutes of my life... 3/10. I think i'm too generous == |
| I like happy endings but... I feel weird about this It's also a shame that Luca Debito and Pace losed that easily, they were epic though Why did Sumire actually take part in the Duello? |

| I feel like I wasted my time watching this series... |

| Last episode should have been replace with a nice boat instead of that crap. |
| This ruined it right....but it still was pretty entertaining for me so 8/10 |

| I loved the series and the ending :) |
  |
| yeah it started promising than nothing happens.... |
| Well that was anticlimactic... I expected a lot more action from the Arcana Duello and I also wanted Felicità to pick Libertà but meh that became increasingly clear that it wasn't going to happen as this episode went on. Still enjoyed watching this anime I guess, even though I think it could have been done a lot better. At least the OP and ED were great. |

| 6 ----> 4 Sumire in Duelo, uhhh the fuck guys? And Feli beating those 3 without even showing how, LAME. Lame lame lame lame :p |
| more than 6 months since thread started... 55% dislike+hate 25.45% OK 19.55% like+love guess that's a clear result xD |
  |
| i actually love the show and this episode it made me smile and laugh..i give 8, cos i love the art and music too |
 |
| Whaaaaat??? pffft! Ending sucked rocks. |
 |
| I WISH THIS WAS A SHOUNEN INSTEAD OF A SHOUJO, then we can see badass action sequences! Man, so disappointed. I actually wanted to see more of Debito, Luca, Jolly, and Pace, but hell they just lost to the Oujo in one screen display, super facepalm-ed. Oh and anyone find Luca to be extremely sexy when he stick his tongue out and use his arcana power? Debito too <3 |

| Well, I didn't really have any expectations for the ending, but still it sucked pretty hard. But, either way, this anime was an enjoyable run. 1. Characters. +1. This anime has some of the best characters ever. It's not like they have much depth, they're still so enjoyable. Jolly is my favorite, but Liberta follows and then Dante. 2. Atmosphere. +1. It wasn't like the best atmosphere ever, but it was still good enough. 3. OST. +1. Even just the ED is enough for me to give a point here, but the OP wasn't half bad as well. 4. Animation. +1. It wasn't the best animation ever, but I don't complain about it. 5. Background story. +1. More like the characters' backstories, but yeah, I liked them. 6. Storyline. +1. It was a good storyline enough - the characters countervailed their pasts and flaws until they finally got over them. 7. Ending. Meh, the only bad part about this anime (pretty expectable). 8. Drama. +1. For a carefree anime like this, the drama was pretty well put in and not bad at all. 9. Overall affect. +1. Such a great and enjoyable anime, if we count out the ending, I was always looking forward to the next episode and the characters made it great for me. Overall score: 8/10. |

| It's that it ? Mannn I was expecting more action than this... The whole duel thing is just too damn rush. I mean Fel is too freaking OP knocking out Luca,Debito and Pace with no problem and ye. beat the damn family bad ass father too. I was hoping to see more of Debito and Luca skills in action, was freaking disapointed, marathon this one and it 3AM now, the only reason I watch till the end is the awesome OP...... |
| Fucking waste of time. |

| "I'm going to show you my power now" throws 400 punches can't even land one. shitty anime. was gonna give it a 6/10 but dropped to 5/10. |

Her Lesbian's attitude i always knew it XD btw, didn't anyone see that part where the Wheel of fortune insignia was shown? is it just me or is she NOT wearing a bra? |
 |
| Debito: I have absolutely no idea how in the world I lost. Me: Well, neither do I... (⊕⌢⊕) Cute anime but I was hoping for more! More romance, more action... Yeah, I know Shoujo anime don't usually have much action but this one actually promised some and ultimately failed to deliver it. But in the end I did enjoy it... |
| well in the end this was neither a bad or good show. honestly i enjoyed the potential the story had but it didn't feel like they actually archieved the max potential either. the charachters where okay. story felt pretty slow and some episodes felt kinda usseless this happens more in animes but here it felt kinda anoying maybe cause i expected a whole different show. now the end is kinda a joke i mean they build up towards the competition they only use 1 episode for it not to mention the battles where a joke. yes i sounded negative before but thats just cause i think they could have done so much more with this show then what they did but if you compare it to some other anime out there it is stil a decent anime. in the end i give it 7/10 since i acctually enjoyed it in a way and i still tried to finish it as fast as possible so it didn't get me distracted so thats a big + for this show. |

| Loved the characters, but it was unfair in focus on mostly Nova and Liberta :( Wanted to see more of the others, ESPECIALLY Luca and Pace who seemed to have the least amt of screentime :'( Things left unanswered-- like the "homunculus" Elmo. Yeah, he's there as a vessel to be a card contractor, but what else??? Is that it? You were gonna make it all mysterious just for something this vague? Ending mostly sucked as well. They took out 3 supposedly strong characters like it was nothing-- Debito, Pace, and Luca :/ same joke overused, albeit it was cute at first I guess. With them huddling in their little alleyway sulking. 5/10. First ep had AMAZING potential and then it just kept declining through :'( I enjoyed it some and then other parts were dry. Such a shame. |
| ...That was very disappointing and underwhelming ending. Nothing changed from the first episode. In fact, everything that was promised in the first episode was all thrown away by the second episode. Not only were there a lack of build-up to the Arcana Duel, Felicita's characterization is also really inconsistent. The anime focuses on Liberta and Nova among the dateable guys but there were no progress about their stories? Did Nova's parents wake up from their sleep? What was Liberta's connection to Nova and Felicita? (Though I'm aware of the connection from the game) Why did Dante save Liberta and how did he find him? They leave the audience hanging with these questions. Even though I am not keen on Liberta and Nova, if their sub-plots had been handled wonderfully, I wouldn't be too annoyed at them for hogging all the screentime. We barely know anything about the childhood trio other than being lab experiments and having one distinctive trait (e.g. lasagna, Ojousama and Bambina). Heck, we only know about Debito's and Luca's arcana mark in this episode and their powers as well. Their powers are so interesting too! And having them lose to Felicita and not having their losses animated on screen on top of that is just dumb. Even the animators can't picture how their losses would be like so they leave it to the audience's imagination. It'd be great if the anime had followed UtaPri's style and dedicate each episode for one dateable character and what they have at stake from the duel. The 'long-awaited' duel was handled half-heartedly as well. The fights were extremely lame. Like even Felicita's parents took part in it? If they had won, they would marry their own daughter? Though Jolly being exempted from it was so Jolly lol Final verdict: 6/10. The opening was really catchy and worth listening repeatedly but it was really misleading cos the characters didn't use their powers often in the show. The first episode was strong, but the show fell flat after that. There are some pretty good and entertaining episodes like episodes 7 & 8. There was not much screentime from the childhood trio that's for sure. The endings where they had their respective punishments were funny. And the previews where each character spoke was funny as well. Especially Jolly's 'you're still watching this?' and I'm like repeating that question to myself too. The show shouldn't advertise itself as an action fighting anime if that's not going to be the main focus. |
| this was ok. though I imagine it's shitty compared to the novel, which is probably lightweight in terms of character development and more about pairings. I remember being interested in the novel when it came out so... nice to see this I guess. that ending felt like a decent compromise for all the pairing disappointments. can't say it was good or bad, but it felt lacking without the novel's romantic ending. |
 |
| I liked it overall. I was expecting more fights and action, but I was entertained most of the time. The characters are interesting, the setting is immersive and the soundtrack fits well. It was a nice story. Not the "nice" following my expectations, but still good. |

| I like the series, but I was expecting more, maybe Fel would even choose between Liberta or Nova, not just Felicita becoming la donna de la famiglia, which was to be expected. overall 7/10 |
