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


I agree. I enjoyed listening to the OST in this series too, especially the ending theme.

Another series would be fine for me, cuz they could of easily defeated Enjin if they were serious. Anyways, it was good and fun while it lasted.

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.


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


But that doesn't explain how Enjin came back to the human realm or how Gin got possessed by him. I agree with noteDhero on this, there was no context at all. The show was lacking a lot that I assume was probably answered in the manga.

It would have been a decent show if they added more detail and answered things in-staid of adding more to the list of "wtf is going ons". As it is, it seemed way to rushed and mediocre to me. The whole aspect of two land gods was a bit confusing as well. Normally in Japanese culture there's only one land god "deity" so it's a bit weird seeing the young boy and his sister ruling over the same plot of land. Theres also the elders. What was their role in the show other then to give out orders? Where they attached to the tree's somehow? I mean once the trees started to blossom the elders did start to get sick and some even died it looks like....it would have been nice to know what was going on at that point.

I gave the show a 7 since it had decent art and music. I probably would have given it an 8 if there was more detail and a better story. Over all I guess it was a good time waster series. I might pick up the manga just to find out what the hell I just watched.

in my opinion this series was nothing special, i dont mean it was that bad but i think it let me down a little bit towards the end.

my final rating for this series is a 6/10 and i might be a bit overrating it.

Decent. Story is just so so (with some lame looking youkais) and quite boring if not for other factors. What I like here is character designs, not your average design - quite unique actually. And what pull me up for this show is the OST. So, it's 7/10 for me.

I enjoyed this, probably more than I should have. But you know, it was not much better than average. It lacked...something. Oh well, wasn't a bad way to spend my time. 7/10.

*sigh* I finally caught up and finished Yozakura Quartet which I should had done 5 weeks ago. Honestly, this anime is under expectations. Hopefully, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor which had the same character designer will do a better job. I am not really disappointed but neither did I find the anime to be overall interesting.

Finally an ending that wasn't to bad. The ending in my opinion was better then many key points in the series.

However I do say this why in the world did the creators make Hime weak until the end.

I give an 8 only because of the ending.

cant say much cuz everybody already explained why the story wasnt that great I would have given the story a 5 or 6 but gave it a 7 cuz of the great fight scenes.
i liked Akina cuz of his cool demeanor, he never went crazy over da top or wasnt a bad boy willing to show off his power at any chance he got. he did come useless in a lot of episodes wen it came to Gin.
i loved Kotoha, and Ao was great at her own lil times. Kyouske always had me laughing while his sister seemed kinda useless to me until near the ending, the only thing she wuz realli there for cuz she had a crush on Akna.
I have nothing to say about Hime cuz she was jus a weak character and never realy amounted up to anything until the last episode and only becuz she got help with a glowing stick.
Wrapping this up i give the story a 7, the animatiion was great but the story culd have been waay better.

Of all the anime in my external HD i decide this to be watched 1st because it has a nice OP and nice art..

but everything seems to be unclear, and they dun even bother to further explain.
The setting of the scenes, the abilities of kotoha and Ao have quite amazed me.
Other than that, they did not explain why does akina's family has the power to send those monsters or what to the other world.

Gin came back and they did not explain anything about him, except he's their friend, Ao brother. Why was he sent to the other world and how he got possessed by that bad guy? Who's that bad guy anyway?
I thought that the way towards that world is closed? How the bad guys manage to come back? Everything is a question mark.

It will be better if the anime is longer and they are explaining more about the details of the story. Wasted with such nice OP and ED.

This show had like no budget at all it seems. Animation was worst than the average anime. The characters were interesting (well the female ones anyway. Played off each other well) but holy crap everything else was just ho hum.5 out of 10

That was one of the most horrible series I have ever watched. I only completed it because I hate dropping shows.

I'm not going to go into detail about why it sucks so bad since I don't want to waste any more time on this dull piece of work.

2/10 (that's being generous)

i want to give this a 7 or a 8 because im watching "yozakura quartet hana no uta" and they made it so well. but this serie DOESN'T deserve any score higher than a 6 or 6.5

animation vice is ok as it was in 2008, but the filler, the talking, the bad guys laugh... this is a bit time wasting, and a bit of half-ass action(indicisive)
u

i think it is in ep7 or 8 when Yae throw sword at that Gin and then what? just let him walk away IOI WTF indicisive, no clear action, unreasonable

+1 for a happy ending therefore overall ***** 6/10 ******

Episode that ends well enough the plot shown, although compared to remake you are dealt a few elements of the story, practically a single arc and even exhaustively.
Basically you start to facts already occurred without showing the necessary background and ending the facts without giving then a sequel.
Narration much more serious than the remake, but even so it was good its exposure.
Drawings which I enjoyed because of Chara Design, opening and ending very beautiful, I love the voice of Nino.
Final rating of 6.5 / 10!

Well it had potential but in the end its mediocre at best. I really wished they used a different plot device because that Gin crap is boring and uninteresting. I probably enjoyed this show more if there were more enemies, the pacing is good, it had good character development, and if they give better explanations. Well pretty forgettable overall but it wasnt bad. It was interesting enough to keep me watching and the ed by Round table feat Nino is great.

IT'S OVER!

They finally defeat Enjin. Took them long enough.

Wow, Hime looks really different without her scarf. I sometimes can even recognize her.

It ended okay.

Time to watch Yozakura Quartet: Hoshi no Umi since that's the next thing to be released of this series.

Well, it was an okay ending. pretty enjoyable, but in the end it's still an okay show for me. I haven't seen the other Yozakura with better animation yet, i have seen it but only a little in the first episode, and the animation was better than this one, same with the character design too. the difference is way too far from the manga. i'm not going to say that this anime is bad nor it's good too. just okay and it was an enjoyable show imo. give it 7/10 for this show. i enjoy because of the soundtrack maybe. i like the ending song more than the opening.

I'm laughing on the inconclusive struggle .. I don't know why .
Regardless , it is a great episode ~ , The Dragon Lance was cool .

I only had the remake in my list but I felt I had to watch this too .
It wouldn't be "complete" otherwise . Anyway , ED and Tsun Song were great ~ .

As usual typical ending for the animated version. Im curious as to what will happen to the manga ending.

This final episode was just simple that the villain is ended up sending off to other world and become peaceful and thats it, the end.

Episode: 2.6/5

Overall: 5/10

last 2 eps were really enjoyable, juli and Lila sibiling relationship was really wholesome
overall ending wasn't half bad but the last ep pretty much summed the whole anime up
akina got his ass handed to him again by enjin again.
hima change of mood from depressed to happy and positive, which was nice to see.
all other characters got a some-what appearance.
but I guess it ended on a high note with magic girl Lila who i beg for to have more screen time as i started to really love her character :c
overall 7/10 anime that skipped arc was a shame, was really looking forward to it

is an anime without emotion and expectations, the villain is a sadistic bore. they are teenagers with enormous pressure to protect the codade. the older ones do nothing and the gods can do nothing. The protagonist has no power at all
