Story => 8
This anime have pure original story if im not mistaken, as far as i know, there is no other anime that tells about karuta, so this anime is good. At early, im sure i never imagined that i would had enjoyed this anime so much, at earlier i can only see poor anime art, horrible chara design, but as i keep continue to watch, really its story makeup for all of it, its really nice.
These are the reasons why its story is a top notch:
1. Its not exaggerated at all for considered sport anime, not just other out there with godlike shot, tiger shot, ping pong ball, etc
2. Its really very realistic, the protagonist and her team often lose and we can see their progress to get better and overcome their weakness. Hello, this is not anime with godlike char who always win 100% without any defect
3. Its story so detail and tightly packed, no jumping and easy to follow
4. Telling about karuta? this anime is the best, i think im getting to like karuta now after i wathed this anime even im not japanese and know nothing of karuta!!Passion of karuta, meaning of each card, every tech, strategy nicely pictured here
5. So deep character story depth and their relationship
Art => 6
Well its the weakness, so sad to see that this anime have very poor art, its almost the same like manga art but animated, thats all, so many defect like char not proportional, etc
Sound => 7
Well i can say that this is so so, op ed have deep meaning but not too pleasant to hear, backsound got some nice one if i might add and good enough
Character => 7
As told earlier, poor chara design art and not satisfying to see but as explained earlier too, its nicely backup by strong chara depth story, soo good enough
Enjoyment => 8
Well, i can say even there are many minus aspect, i cant lie that i really enjoyed watching and follow this anime from the start till the end because of its magnificent story stated above
Overall => 8
Good good simply good
O yea, i read some info that this anime is actually an official Japan government program to raise popularity of karuta in Japan itself because in this modern era karuta gradually drowning and vanished. So nice one from Japan Government and Go Karuta!!
