~Story~
At the beginning, the anime stuck to the romance and developing the characters, if you weren't a romance fan the first ten or so episodes would seem just not action packed enough for your liking. After you meet all the suitors you actually leave the path of just a romance and head into the path of political, drama and of course action. There is still romance for the fan girls but not too much to where it becomes just another fairy tale. The plot was actually very unique, at first it didn't seem so but it really is a very amazing plot. Towards the beginning of the story i think everyone was just expecting a normal romance anime with cute boys, naive girls and far too much fantasy but it became a very intresting and well thought out plot. It goes something like this.
The heir to the Burnsworth company, Kajika is asked by her father to play a game in which she will have to choose a husband out of three men whom will not know her and she will not know them. Her father sets up the meetings without telling her anything about the men, only giving her the hint that she will know when she finds them. As she slowly meets the three men and learns about their pasts and possible futures she is thrown into a political nightmare. A small country in the middle east is having problems with their royal family (cant give too much away) And kajika is mixed up in it.
~Art~
The art and graphics were amazing, one of the best i have seen in anime and im not just saying that so you want to watch it, i truly loved the art. Everything was clear and drawn so well it was like you were transported into a whole new world (Aladin LoL)
~Sounds~
I don't know why but with a lot of anime they really only have three or four songs throughout the anime like for instance during mecha fight scenes you always hear the same music play, and honestly it gets repetitive and annoying. However that does not apply exactly, yes they don't have a wide variety of songs in this anime but unlike others they place them in a way that makes it so its not as repetitive and it actually doesn't annoy you which was a breath of fresh air.
~Characters~
Usually the female rolls to me seem either rude,stupid, overly dramatic or too naive but for Kajika this doesn't seem to apply. She is innocent yes but not so innocent where you just want to slap some sense into her. She is also mature for as young as she is, she acts more mature than half the twenty year olds i know and shes only fourteen. Apparently they insinuate that she had to grow up fast due to her being isolated on an island after her mother was killed during a kidnap attempt (Not a spoiler they tell you that in the first or second episode it doesn't effect the story its just background) They don't really touch on the subject of why she had to grow up fast other than that but apparently she just did which is fine.
The three (Four) Possible matches for Kajika are all very different in both looks and personality. Theres one that's cold, one that is just terribly sad and lonely, a trouble making one and of course the business like and shy one. They all also are a breath of fresh air from the usual male leads because they aren't as shallow and undeveloped. I liked them a lot for different reasons.
In the first episode and two more later on in the series you are introduced to a girl named Yuuie, shes not a main character and i don't know why im bringing her up. She is the only character that annoyed me and only for two reasons. One is because she had some serious lesbian thoughts about Kajika and that's not a bad thing but she takes it too far to when she doesn't get a letter very often she starts questioning their friendship blah blah. Its annoying honestly but you warm up to her eventually she grows on you.
All other characters are alright, they dont all need to be brought up.
~Enjoyment~
Well i have watched this series more than ten times due to the fact that the enjoyment level is very high and ill tell you why! (Ha i rhymed)
The characters weren't annoying, the graphics were amazing and obviously took some time, the sound was good because it didn't repeat itself until you wanted to just turn your sound off and the story was amazing.
~Overall/Recommend?~
Overall i think the anime is one of my favorites for the reasons stated above but also because not only was it good but it was also unique which you don't see a lot in a time where its all about sparkling vampires and werewolves or in anime's case harems and mechas.
The biggest question is do i recommend it and to who. Well i recommend this greatly to EVERY type of anime lover because it has a little bit of everything for everyone. Of course there arent any giant robots crashing buildings or anything for the mecha fans but there are quite a lot of guns it that helps. Anyways i give it 10/10
