----------------------------------------
ah, well its over now! I really don't know what to make of this, it wasn't THAT bad but it really should have been so much better.
Nice final battles from everyone. Really liked Kyousuke, Kotoha and Touka's combo, it was awesome!
Judging from how Enjin was actually defeated, there won't be a sequel I guess. Too bad there'll be no Koihime or more action from Juli & Yae.
I got really confused why they decided to rename Hime's Ryuusou Sakanade to Ryuusou Gekirin, wth's the point?
To all the people who liked the characters but didn't like the story much, read the manga, seriously its way better.

Liked the 2 last episode, else than that the serie was meh.

It's rare that the ending is actually better than the serie itself but it's this case this time.

well...
i liked the animation (from time to time there simply was not enough detail to the pictures though) and the characters a lot.

the story was so so. not really good.imho a lot of unused potential. it's a nice setting and idea though.

well... as mentioned above ill try the manga. all the manga drawings used in the anime looked fantastic. the characters look much cooler.

this is the first time that i've finished an anime, and didn't really care about any of the characters. i had high hopes for this one because the art was the same as kamisama kazoku, but in the end it ended up a 6.5/7 out of 10

My final score is 7/10. I was really itching to give it a 6 one or two episodes ago, but this one kind of elevated it again. I don't know what the reason was...probably the final battles? Yae was unused potential. Oh well, I was just glad to see Toka throw a car at Eiji. Overall, it was good, but could've been better. I'll read the Manga sometime.

meh... i liked the characters but the story was kinda... not so great.
7/10

I decided to watch this anime for the character designs and the interesting setup. Unfortunately, the show disappointed me. The episodes ranged from OK to bad. Also, none of the secondary characters were developed sufficiently. And the art/animation wasn't bad, but I'd expect better from such a short show.

Akina was extremely annoying at times, acting completely the opposite of how a normal person would act. When you would expect him to be upset by something, he was instead smiling dumbly. And when his friends were upset and needed him...he was smiling dumbly. Wow, what a GREAT FRIEND.

Parts of the plot made little sense. Why couldn't Yae help fight Enjin? Why wasn't Hime given the powerful spear earlier? If there were valid reasons, they weren't addressed sufficiently in the show.

Overall, it's not the worst anime I've seen this year, but it's pretty close.

I liked the character design and music but it was the story that really let this Anime down for me.
Anyway, at least the last two episodes were decent.

That's it, I expected more from the anime in all, Kotoha was awesome, Hime and Akina were weak.

7/10 final.

It was an awesome last episode, and I'm glad they didn't choose to save Gin(by some deus ex machina tune just the Enjin).
The battles rocked.
7/10.

This show was a hot mess. A cast of characters fignting evil. We weren't ever given any context or backrouind on anyone until 2/3 of the way into it, after they had introduced more characters. No explaination of powers or why people are they way they are, and not a solid story at all. Very worthless show, and one of the worst and most derivative I have ever seen. 3/10...it may drop to a 2.

I, on the other hand, don't see it as a necessity to explain why people are the way they are in detail, and I also don't think it's a do-or-fail necessity to add background stories for everyone. I think it works fine just letting us get to know the characters from scratch, which in my eyes was accimplished. We know that there is another world that the youkai come from, and that's really all we need to know, because it wouldn't affect the plot anyway.

I thought the series really picked up towards the end, and left a great impression. Enjin was an excellent villain. The music was awesome, as were the fight scenes. A generally well executed series, with likable characters and a flawed, but nonetheless compelling story.

I wasn't really asking for long explainations, or detail, just context. Why does Enjin hold such a grudge? How did he escape the tuning in the first place? How did Gin die? These are all important things that weren't even brought up. Gin, Akina, and Hime are close friends...that's all I need to know. But I would like to know why Akina all of a sudden was able to tune Enjin after choking the scene previous. Context and development go a long way.

sligthly mediocre but I liked the supporting characters...

6.5/10 (round up to 7)

lol except that the way the town was saved was deux ex anyways. "Oh, look! When my dragon lance glows extra bright, it saves the town and tears up Enjin in one stroke! How convenient! I should have just waited for that in the first place!"

This anime was just FAIL. The music was fantastic and the animation was good, but the story sucked balls and made no sense. I would have given this series a max score of 7 if they had developed a romance (preferably between Hime and Akina) but they never did. So my score is a 6.5

I'm glad this is over. What a disappointment.

The last 3 eps managed to bump my score from a 5 to a 7 but the story still sucked. I still don't know how Gin died or how Enjin managed to come back to the human world after he was tuned by Hiizumi. The only characters I found enough heart to care about were Hime and Kotoha. Akina is just a failure as the protagonist. And Ao's story had so much more potential. *sigh* Whatever, it's over, good riddance.

Almost forgot to add, animation was top notch in the last episode. LOVE all the sakura petals, absolutely stunning.

Wow this was atrocious. Who ever was the director should be dragged out and shot along with the guy who thought a white blob for a monster was a good idea. I have never seen an anime that has made me LESS eager to read the manga version but this easily pulled it off. Last episode was better until the last 10 minutes. A little deus ex machina with a bit of FAIL anyone? Then that blond hair guy is resolved to die and through some miracle is alive and happy ?!?!?!?!? Akina just fails on so many levels. Enjin was a pretty bad villian too, he had so many chances to kill Akina yet passed up on all of them. Why didn't Enjin just take Akina's body in the first place and start pwning everybody from the get go? This anime was horrible and one of the worst of the season(I'm debating whether that goes to Saka or Rosario but this makes a good run of it). It just seems the anime staff didn't care and knew it was trash but said screw it anyway. Overall 6/10 because I'm generous.

That's a good point. I just went with the assumption that Akina had built up the strength to tune Enjin/Gin, whereas he hadn't before, but you're right that it was completely not obvious. Enjin held such a grudge because it was Akina's family that tuned him before, and he targeted them because he knew he could use the Gin factor to screw with them. This is all just stuff that came to me right away, although my assumptions could very well be wrong. Whenever I watch stuff, I usually just fill in a lot of holes like that, which leads me to like stuff that I probably shouldn't a lot of the time. XD

'sigh' had high hopes for this and it turned out below average. It was way to corny and clique and the characters personalities were horrid. The only things i liked about this series is that i thought the character designs and were great aswell as the art and there was some cool music. But really it's plot was unique but didn't develop much and turned out clique and corny. The only praise i can give for it's plot is that the series does have a plot, getting sick of all the damn series out there with either no plot or a plot they just ignore and decide to make the whole series retarded comedy.

well my verdict is 6/10.

it gets a 5.5(rounded up to 6) it was pretty boring to me but there were a few parts that I liked and I liked the OST
