This is hitman reborn as adults / teenagers. Seriously that is the vibe I am getting from it. But it does look interesting.

The beginning was boring. But later it became more interesting. Anyway, the pace was somewhat fast, I was expecting a better introduction to the Arcana thing.

And so the whole anime will be battles over the succession? Indeed it is like Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

For a shoujo, that was a pretty generic shounen set-up, especially the way they introduced the characters and their powers. The arcana theme is pretty common, and the mafia theme is pretty un-mafia. And of course, the two of main characters can't use their powers yet, leaving for some predictable development. The story doesn't seem like it'll go anywhere interesting, neither do the characters. That said, I'll probably follow this and enjoy it, as I'm a sucker for the formula.

1st ep has alot of terminology. Seems like their powers are based on tarro cards...
Yes there is that but wiki has a Taro Card section that explains a lot. Add the knowledge to the qualities of each character and you might get more sense as to what exactly their powers do.

Just a tip.


Do you have a link?
Yes! This:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Arcana
has a index to which cards you want to see.

Is it just because it about mafia and the powers? It doesn't feel like Reborn for me.

Very enjoyable. I think I'll stick with this one until the end. 5/5

Also, this is like the first shoujo where I knew +-80% of the voices. (Or, at least I think it so)

Normally I'm against this reverse harem stuff, but I still like this show.

Italia + great voice acting + nice charas + nice art

So next week Felicia and the boys go around the town based on the preview.

The first thing I noticed is that why are there no killings and blood when they chased that mafia? Hope we will get to see some in the feature episodes.

I don't get a shit about that tarots and such. Can't understand the meanings behind their powers. There's a lot of unanswered questions. And it's kinda awkward that they are explaining their powers to each other even though they already knew that.

The seiyuus are big time. It was fun listening to their voices.

OP and ED rocks. Felicita is kinda cute. Typical J.C staff tsundere. Im so glad she is not a petanko loli. Looking forward to more actions. Not bad considering it's shoujo. Will definitely continue watching it. I was really interested from the start when I saw that this was about a Mafia family. Kinda expecting a KHR like interactions but nope, they are not really that close even though they were in the same family. I hope there will be a lot of character developments. AND I WISH THEY ENLIGHTEN US ABOUT THAT TERMINOLOGIES.

Nice first episode, tarrot cards is their "Power" sort of thing. Each has their own magical ability.
Though I wonder why Nova and Liberta can't use their powers at all or uncontrollably..Gonna guess it right here, both of them become the strongest at the end of the series and somehow the powers within them unlock.

I kinda fell in love with this.
Reverse harem is this genre, when you can usually know the end from the first episode.
But not this time, I guess.
It doesn't appear it will be exceptionally full of action and deep plot, but it doesn't seem that bad.
Great animation, great bishies, though Nova seems to be a scumbag (or it's just me and my hatred for those kinda characters). I like chara design and colors.
Felicità certainly isn't annoying like the other female characters in reverse harem. I kind of took a liking to her.
I'm waiting for the next episode. Hope it doesn't appear to be a shit like 'Hakuouki', 'UtaPri', or - more recent - 'Hiiro no Kakera'. J.C.STAFF, please don't screw it up.

Good start
I like the art and the voices of the characters
The OP is cool, the ED is pretty nice
what is Liberta power I wonder if he is the fool
Btw, I really like Felicita and Liberta ( as I predicted)

To all the candidates, my favorite is Debitto.
Though looks like our main guys are Nova and Liberta.

A very good start.
I don't understand why there isn't 'action' in the genre section but shoujo and romance....

This kind of reminded me of Naruto. The characters, not the story. Libertà is like the obnoxious Naruto. Nova is the relaxed the cool Sasuke.
Or maybe that's just me HAHA

I like Felicita and Nova already! What a horrible Papa lol

It was ok, this first episode.
It wasnt mind grabbing or pure awesome under my standards, but it has its elements.
I'm worried this anime would be as bad as Hiiro no Kakera, since that anime started off well, but it ended up like a bad fanfiction turned animated.
Anyways, shall resume to watch it every week to see how it goes, just coz it's quite bishie hahaaa ^^

I thought the first episode was pretty good. It introduced the characters and plot very well imo. I will definitely continue with this anime. I am not usually into reverse harems, but this seems pretty cool to me. Also I want Liberta to win.

I was pretty bored with the first episode. None of the characters really stood out to me either, including the blonde, the emo, and the girl. The only semi-likable characters seem to be the strong guy that eats lasagna and the attendant with the fedora.
Hope it gets better.

Nova looks like Ciel from Kuroshitsuji.
Luca and Libera resemble Gilbert and Oz from Pandora Hearts.

Liking it so far.

The lasagna made me hungry :/ now I gotta go find food!

ok, so far it's not as bad as I feared. Usually in reverse harem the girl is super annoying, but the lead here is kind of cute and not helpless or weepy, so I have hope it won't be a total disaster and I'm gonna keep watching for now.

(sadly, I'm not really liking the voice acting despite many of the seiyuu being among my fave.. somehow the voices don't fit :/)

forgive me for being so darn obsessed but its been a day since the anime started so....uh....should the rankings for the DVD/BD be taken as a symbol whether the anime is selling or not as of today?

Or should more time be given?

Not bad, but I'm afraid I'm not liking male characters, expect Debito. They seem rather cliche. Troll papa is troll.
Felicita is awesome! beautiful and kick ass and she's not very tsundere, I usually dislike them. also voiced by Mamoki noto <3 + owl
Also lol, series just started, people are already making reviews.

Disliked the way they introduced the characters, their powers. Way to blunt. Plot doesn't seem all that interesting and characters are pretty generic. Only reason I can think of to continuing to watch this is to see if Felicità picks Libertà or Nova but I don't really care since I don't like the characters anyway =\

Na/Na BECAUSE NO ONE FUCKING CARES
