The story takes places in a seemingly german themed town, focusing especially on Winford Academy a place where lads and lasses become knights and knight's strategists, begleiters. A particular group of students is followed as they each reveal their love for jousting and the reasons why they chose it as a dream up to the point where they test their resolve in battle.
Art is an astonishing work of vivid colors , lighting and realistic shapes. The design of the town and the academy is a testimony to the great times that were once the pride of humanity. The natural background is also proof of a good work from the design team as they make you take a few seconds to admire them. Finally characters are not made like they are in usual series, skinny limbs and bodies and huge heads, instead they are more voluptuous so that they match their eyes.
There are numerous personalities in the characters presented each with it's own role, some are inspirational, some are inclined to teaching while some are kind, each of them contributing to a friendlier atmosphere at the beggining or later on. One thing that may or may not get your attention is the absence of an antagonist.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series mostly because of the theme, jousting being my favourite sport even if it's no longer practiced but also because of the friendly atmosphere and the steady level of fanservice which has its cliches but blends nicely with the other facts.
What about you?
Will you get dressed in your armor, mount your horse and ride to your destiny or will you merely watch a battle where wills collide and metals clash?
