Synopsis

Yin and Ning are two sisters who have been wandering the land together ever since their village was destroyed by the villainous Taibai Empire. Their childhood friend, Zhao, has been enslaved by the Taibai himself, and uses his brilliance at tinkering and inventing to get by as a slave to the Empire's whims. One day, Yin accidentally discovers a legendary sword, which grants her fantastic abilities in combat, and allows her to summon a mystical, mechanical fox spirit named Yun, who is sworn to fight by her side. Meanwhile, Zhao is making fast friends with a mysterious young girl who just may hold a great amount of power within the Taibai Empire. As Zhao and the Fu sisters find themselves increasingly caught up in the Empire's battle for supremacy over the land, it will take all of the magic and might that the budding resistance armies can muster to turn the tide of war once and for all.

Is it just me or am I the 2nd one to make a review of this Chinese Themed anime, cu'z it seems that this anime was totally ignored as if a lotta guys sees this as if it ain't anime if there is no Japanese in it, like the quintessential katana, fan service and kimono in it??????Oh well, I guess they just can't accept such anime that has a lotta anachronism cu'z the setting was that in what can be called a warring states period of China were such mechs called Zhengtian should not exist , coupled with people that have super powers. so I ...

Mixed Feelings
This anime is pretty much the definition of mediocre. It's not bad, but it really fails to capitalize on the rich setting and world they build. Characters are often introduced and just sort of exist without much development or interpersonal interaction. The way violence is used very casually lends so much potential to the show, but in the end they seem more interested in using that violence as a shock factor than to use it for character development.

That said there are some good things going for it. Their inability to put character depth beyond the main three characters actually works in ...

Ken En Ken: Aoki Kagayaki

Surely you've seen some anime and just thought "Wow, this is bad! Possibly even the worst anime there is-" No.
But this one could be in the top 15 worst anime series of all time by any possible measure.

We have Avatar the Lord of Elements + some low-budget magic building with no lore, monsters with magic powers that dissolve into fairy dust as soon as they lose enough HP, war with some robot dolls (that later shoot lasers around), people in flying super armor with the most epic name ever "Dark Flames". Sailor ...
