Well, the story starts when yuji sekai finds out that he is a torch..a torch is something that replaces someone who is already dead.. As the time goes, torches disappear completly from the world and people´s minds. But yuji is a special one, he has a treasure that allows him to stay fully recover the existence he lost at every midnight. At the same time he finds the truth about himself, he meets shana, a flame haze, who has the mission to keep the balance of the world. Then the start to stick together and fight against a lot of enemies.
My opinion, is a well made story, i liked it and i give it a 9...
Art and Animation (9.0) - Well, at start i didn´t like the fact the characters looked way to childish, but i got used to it, and i ended up liking it..i think the design is good and the details in envyronment and that stuff are certanly in the group of the best i saw..about the effects and animation, well certainly is well devellopped and the producers worked a lot..its not perfect, but i´ve seen much worse for sure..
Sound (7.2) - Nothing special indeed..its not something i can say i disliked it, but also i cant say i liked it...its just acceptable..
Characther (8.0) - Well, some charather i noticed no devellopment during the whole series..others like the main characters were well develloped and sometimes it sound like it was way too much..the story goes around yuji and shana, and sometimes it gives way to much attention to it..well, in overall i think its enough to say characters are good but with some flaws..(also, some of them are really anoying grrrr lol)
Enjoyment (8.3) - A fine show with moments of action, suspense and mistery..however, there is also the oposite, in some moments i almost slept during some episodes, that if it was me i would just had cut those parts from the series..but in overall i got satisfied and i consider it a good anime to spend some time watching.
overall (8.5)- In the limit between 8 and 9..i have a great doubt about this final rating, since in some way i really liked it, and in another way i dont think it was something special..but i decide to give credit to it and give a 9, plus a recommendation for all thos who like this kind of stuff with magic, abillities, suspense, fights..etc...
