"There are things better left unknown"-Dalian

At first glance, Dantalian no Shoka seems like a mediocre anime,which is full of mysteries but I think it's more than that.

Story: 8/10

Summary- The story follows Huey who inherits a mansion and a library with many valuable books from his grandfather but there happens something unexpected. He meets Dalian,the custodian of the Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian and he becomes Dalian's Keykeeper. Bibliotheca Mystica of Dantalian is not an ordinary library. There are books that should not exist.
Point of View- I think that ... the story was told pretty well. Even if the anime is episodic , the mystery is complex. The storyline is unique and interesting. I think the pacing is pretty good. The ending is good too but you must understand it.

Art: 9/10

The art is incredible and the style is very realistic. I think the art style is fitting for the story and I love the colours used. The animation is fluid and the backgrounds are amazing. The gothic style fits the main characters.

Sound: 9/10


The opening is amazing.It's one of my favourite and I love that the opening is in latin.
The ending is not my taste so I don't really liked it. The voice actors are great. I think that Dalian's voice actress and Huey's voice actor have done a great job.

Character: 8/10

Although the anime doesn't have much character development,you can easily love the main characters.
I think that Dalian is smart,brave and bossy. She's a typical tsundere loli but she has some special features. I think she's pretty interesting.
Huey is the most developed character in anime. His story is well explained. He's a kind character and he takes care of Dalian.
Their relationship is often funny and they care about each other. All the characters react to situations in a very realistic way.


Enjoyment:10/10

I really like the anime because it has so many good moments . All episodes are interesting and the anime has some emotional moments. This anime really impressed me.

Overall: 9/10

I think it's a great series. I am sure I 'll remember it in the future.
So if you like the mystery and the action,you should give it a try!
