| This series was bad. How can they just jump all the way to the battles? There was a beginning and an end, but absolutely no middle. |

| Well........that sucked. If they would've just advertised this as a slice-of-life anime and not an action one, maybe I wouldn't be so disappointed. False advertising can be a real bitch. I was thinking about giving this series a 6/10, but the way they trolled Debito, Pace, and Luca really pissed me off and now I kinda want to give it a 5/10! Ugh, so much potential just utterly wasted. |

| I actually liked how it ended. She didn't have to choose between the two guys and Papa got to live longer. Plus, her wish was awesome^^ Though, the duello was brief.. ;\ Nonetheless, I rate anime series by enjoyment and it fitting my aspects so this would be one of my faves^^ <3 |

| My feelings for the overall anime : Annoyed I love the plot, and how the based powers on Tarot cards and having weapons and everything like that, but what annoys me is just ... oiwhjroweitjiwe I can't the right words. Everything just seemed so rushed, and I wish they had shown more detail in the fights, or had them use their powers more. And the ending was just... predictable. I hate to say this, but I'm kind of disappointed. |
| Worst series of the season by far, horrible ending to a horrible series, how i finished it is beyond me, i think the ending speaks for itself on simply how horrible it was....the entire series was filler, and this ending was simply horrible. |
 |
| Well that was crappy. It would have been better if this series was at least 21 episodes long and didn't have those random adventures in the earlier episodes. I did like the song that was playing at the start of Liberta vs Dante and the joke about Mondo(Papa) growing the least. |
 |
| series was not BAD .. note it's a shoujo, romance genre not action, etc.. so yh and i see no point in a season 2 btw |
| Would have been better off just watching the first and last episodes. |

LOL honestly, if they wanted to add some fighting, at least do it right. Vesanus said: Uchihafan25 said: Well........that sucked.

| This episode wasn't good!!! The battle were to rushed!!! And how did Felicita beat Mondo!!! and Luca!!! and Pace!!! and even Debito!!! I just don't understand!! |
 |
| Finally, this series is finished. Could not stand watching it any longer... Predictable ending and lame fights. Oh well~ Wasn't really expecting anything when I started this. |

| Quiero, puedo, voy a. |
| WTF is with this series If it's intended for boys, it lacks that battle 'umph'. There were abilities, but underused. If it's for girls, it lacks the harem romance factor. There were no romantic scenes; no wonder why Felicità's struggling in choosing a partner. I watched this series because it had good animation and a mediocre but bearably decent storyline, but this last ep just blows :P |
| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| I don't realy have any thing to say other than i wish they spilt this episode into 2 parts :( my final rating of this is 5/10 ...i did not like the pacing in this show ,i would have been fine if this was a 4-6 episode OVA ,or if they kept 12 episodes like this and paced it better with more action |
 |
| What a terrible anime. The only episode that could've been at least worth watching, the Arcana Duello, was full of short, uninteresting fights. Nova and Liberta's fight, the one that should've had a proper winner, made an asspull to prevent pissing off fujoshis who favored one of them and ended in a tie. Then all of a sudden they make Felicita a strong person with little development pointing towards that she had such strength, and wins the Duello. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a way to make a self-insert character for fujoshis. This whole episode undid what the main conflict was, making this whole series pointless. |
| I enjoyed watching the bishies. I expected more from the 3 musketeers though (Luca, Pace & Debito). But, I guess this is expected of an anime based off an otome game. Either it turns out to be real good, bearable or just horrid LOL 6/10 from me for the series |
| At beginning of series,I expected something like a cool vigilante mafia family fighting evil organization for protecting there island(something like hitman reborn!).But everything just went down the drain the by episode 3.Seriously,helping a cat from a tree? This series just threw all its potential in the trash.I mean they have cool powers and bad ass outfit.The story would have a lot better.I am really disappointedI expected it to suck since episode 2. Last two weeks,I stopped till episode 10,and I decided to just wait till the Arcana Duello in the last episode hoping that it will improve it in some way,But I was wrong. I come to the last episode and what do I see: Poor fightsShitty fights. The ginger girl wins fight for some magical reason. Nova and Liberta ends with a draw(dick move J.C staff) An ending that made me like…….O_O “That’s it?” This series is not worth watching 4/10 |

Most of the comments here dont make sense. How was their filler or that they rushed into things, we clearly went through the two months that was from the announcement of the Duello to the actual Duello itself where the characters matured enough to be able to use their Arcana powers comfortably. I dont know where people had the idea that it would be a Shounen Battle Anime... |

| Jolly is the boss even if he didn't fight (which is a pity, really, I was looking forward to some alchemy tricks). Somehow, I found the interactions between him and the baka trio (Luca, Pace, Debito) the most enjoyable part of the show. I still smile every time Debito calls him 'jiji'. My main grip is the rushed ending. I like the fact that they took the normal, i.e. open ending. Not so fond of the fact that they put so much focus on Liberta and Nova in general (they're not my favorite, but it's not that I don't like those characters; however, the fact that they're both rather close relatives of Felicita bothers me somewhat if we talk romance with her). I guess it's partially the game's fault that the Duello is so jumbled as the game didn't give enough material for the fights to be any good. The only way to make the fights look good was for the anime staff to take a rather big creative leeway and start thinking up the heap of things for the fights that were missing in the game. They did something similar in the first ep, and it was rather good, too, so I think they could've managed if they tried, even if in case with the Duello the task is more difficult as it's about actual Arcana powers rather than simple swords, guns and bazookas. So, the anime staff is to blame for the fact that they didn't try to do that and wasted such a good potential, which I can only lament. Still, the anime got me hooked up on the series, and I'll continue to read the manga and whatnot, so, for that, overall 7/10. I've seen worse, after all, so... |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| overly cliche ending. My fave part was when Debito, Pace, and Luca all lost. <3 Luca! ^^ I was half expecting Jolly just to come in at the end of the episode to troll everyone. Jolly! Y U NO Troll this episode???? :( Wonder what the unaired episode will be about. O.o |

| It was a nice anime, was, this last episode really screwed the all thing up. Lowering it to 6 |
| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah this series coming to an end. I got to admit I really got into the concept of the Tarots. It’s rather mundane as itself a theme being repeated but it’s intriguing how much of an interest it has in animes. That being said the uniqueness of it this time around is its fusion with characters to grant them powers. Perhaps done and done but in the setup it used, it was not. That being said Felicita was really quite something for a girl and added to my harem collection and of course if ever to the Hall of Fame of Females. One of the things I will miss of her is the following,  Those kicks are not something loads of girls come with and the more so like Felicita. About Lucas/Debito/Pace, I am kind of WTF in the spoiler About Liberta VS Dante, I liked a lot Liberta’s determination but his facials in the spoiler About Nova VS Sumire, now that fight in the spoiler About Felicita’s last service strand, she was totally love in the following,  Along with the spoiler Moreover in the following spoiler About thee end, I liked a lot Felicita’s determination in the spoiler That being said the end should be obvious that it’s OPEN ED. Meaning there are things to solve and like get more hosts along with many possibilities opened. Hence why they did not adapt a solid end. Cause it continues most likely. S2 HERE WE GO! But no really this series was fine for me. Characters developed and their backgrounds and still much can be developed for S2 so that’s fine and mass fan service of Felicita easily saved and open for S2 possibilities since S1 had a decent amount of it for its genre. Fights were great but it’s their integration of Tarots that made it nice. Well finally I stop there and give it 8/10. That’s it and S2 I will watch no problem. Just give more service of Felicita. Starting it in this season, it should continue on S2. Lots of males are captured by Felicita's charms IMO. |
| So many hating queers. |
 |
| This series truly suffered from various inconsistencies. The ending felt rushed, more or less, as well. In other words, it was a plain mediocre experience. |
| This episode was horrifyingly bad. Putting the entire arcana duelo into one episode was a ridiculous idea. It felt like the ending wasn't really an ending but then again the series wasn't going anywhere, the whole thing felt like fillers. 3/5 |
| The ending was rather ok but what pissed me of was they skipped to many things they didn't show almost no fighting...Well I guess a season 2 will work but this anime was ok i guess 7 out of 10 . |
| bull fucking sht was this series.... |
 |
| This ending really sucked. |
| Okay, I was very disappointed after watching the ending. I followed the whole series just for the battle, but it ended up being so rushed that I couldn't even appreciate it. And what? Felicita wins the battle? I thought the main point of the battle was for her to find a husband who could protect her. I enjoy watching harems/reverse harems, but I hate it when the main character doesn't chose anyone or ends up choosing friendship over love. 6/10 |

| The final was acceptable. Ok, the anime wasnt what I expected but I have to admit was enjoyable. |
| This series is 5/10 from me. Luca and Debito are lovely, but overall I didn't like this series so much. |
| That was absolutely predictable. Not to mention boring. |
| disappointed with the duel, but the 2nd half was pretty good A decent series 6.5/10 |
| The most boring show I've seen in a while. |
 |
| My opinion about this series? Meh. Meh is the only way to describe it. The only thing I liked in these series was art. It was decent. It was wasted on such boring series like this. I really had more expectations for Arcana Famiglia. I give Arcana Famiglia 4/10. |
| I don't know man. I don't hate this series but I didn't enjoy it at all. Pretty mediocre Anime. At least it's watchable. Not a bad Anime to pass time. 6/10 I hope J.C Staff doesn't screw up like this in LB. |
| So this is what we got after waiting for a long ass time for the Duello? Oh my freaking GOD! Talking and re-used footage. This shit is unbelievable. There is absolutely nothing good in this piece of garbage of an anime. The characters are staying in the dark because we only saw Nova and Liberta bickering ALL THE TIME. The animation was BAD, The art was BAD, The voice acting was good only because of the amazing staff, but it was wasted because of the unwatchable work from the animators, who made the characters look soo shitty and DERPY when speaking.... Holy shit. When did the Arcana powers become from a personal talent to just a random mish mash. Why did the sword fly back to Liberta? I thought his power had something to do with fire? What did Nova do with his power in the battle? I thought his power was putting people to sleep`..... This makes no sense.... Cool seeing the Mama in action though... NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THIS CRAAAAAAAP!!! 2/5 for the episode. 3/10 for the series. |
