Yes. That is how I feel about this anime.
Though it starts out vague, pieces start coming together along the story, and it makes you wonder and crave for more. The interesting characters, the stunning artwork, and the battle scenes are all fun to watch and interesting to see.
I find this anime to be one of my favorites, and here's why:
The story line is in fact a bit sloppy and the background is a bit vague, but I believe the series completely makes up for it.
So here we have cute, happy-go-lucky, slippery, tricky Isana Yashiro. He kept me interesting right off the bat, being the lovable character he portrays. Getting himself out of sticky situations seems to be his thing, and he's great at it. His interactions with other characters is hilarious as well, and he's just the sweetest thing, even though he can be a little brat sometimes.
All of the characters were unique and original, having flawed but lovable personalities and attributes, and you find yourself rooting for characters on all teams. There wasn't really any of them that bothered me at all, except for Awashima on SCEPTER 4. Because we all know that huge bobbed chick is on the show purely for fan service.
Now, the plot line. While it starts off strange, I found myself getting engaged immediately with the mysterious, different atmosphere the anime gives off. The Red King and his clansmen were probably my favorites, aside from Shiro and the gang. Anyway, it's a little sloppy like I said, but it comes together in the end well enough, and it comes together nicely in my opinion. I can't say I am too pleased with how it ended, but I'm positive MISSING KINGS promising PV tells me the movie is going to make up for it. It was extremely interesting in my opinion, and I find myself rewatching it over and over again.
The music was great. It was new and jazzy. Lovely, calming tunes to fun little battle tunes. I like to listen to the sound track once in a while, it's so leisure and I absolutely loved it!
The sound was pretty good, and I didn't find anything wrong with it. They had the little details down perfectly.
The art was very unique and refreshing, with very different looking characters. I'm always annoyed when I find art that makes all of the characters look similar, but this one definitely differs from the rest. I highly enjoyed how they did it.
I absolutely enjoyed this to the max. As you can tell from my almost perfect ratings. I don't find many anime that I watch all in one day, but this one too the cake for sure. I watch it all the time and anticipate the movie. I think it was put together nicely and had a very nice feeling to it, and you grow attached to characters. Even though we didn't see too much of Totsuka, I absolutely fell in love with him! This is definitely my most favorite anime, and holds a very special place in my heart.
