When I watched the first episode of Hiiro no Kakera, I was super excited to continue watching it. It got my attention the first few minutes and I loved the characters and how they were presented. But about half way in the series, it started to disappoint me a little.
Story: 8
I very much enjoy the concept of a MC discovering that they're actually a powerful guardian. It gives them time to adjust and adapt to what they need to become. Although it is a reverse harem/Shoujo/romance anime, the action scenes and supernatural elements were really cool in my opinion. I have to admit,
...
guys may not want to watch it because of the little random things each of the main male characters will say in order at the end to 'appeal to the audience' and some guys may find it weird. XD
Art: 8
I liked the art style because it was a lot different than other animes I've watched in the past. And I enjoyed how the characters looked. It gave you a mix between a lighthearted feeling and a dismal one. At least for me. I could only say the action was a little awkward for me, it just felt a little to rushed.
Sound: 6
Besides the OP, I couldn't find any soundtracks that stuck with me. I wouldn't even notice them playing in the background most of the time. But the OP gives you the same feeling the characters are feeling in the anime: hope.
Characters: 6
In my opinion, I think the characters suffered quite a bit in the anime. I mean, the guys all had their own types of interesting personalities, and I like them all. There's two that I really adored to tell you the truth. The bad guys were a little flat in character for me. And sadly, Tamaki could've been a lot better. She was likable and always cared about her friends, but she could get a little annoying. All the guardians were nearly dying to protect her, and all she could do was yell there names when they got horribly beat up. Towards the end though, her character really shines. So that's a good thing.
Enjoyment: 7
This anime had an interesting plot and I enjoyed the story, plus the main heroine finally showed everyone what she could do and it made me super happy. I'll definitely be watching the second season to see if the show picks up and improves a lit more.
Overall: 6
It's pretty good if you stick with it to the very end, and it's not a bad anime at all. I just think it could've been better. You should check it out if you're into reverse harems. Which I very much am.
~Thank you all for listening!~
