First thing to note is that the art style & animation are absolutely gorgeous. The characters have a wonderful hand drawn look to them, while the backgrounds have a stunning painted look, every single frame is a pleasure to behold.

Next the soundtrack/score which just like the animation is amazing & incredibly diverse as one minute you get a nice, light traditional percussion piece & the next you'll be tapping away to a fast paced, energetic techno piece for some of the more intense action sequences. The series also features a few mind bending & surreal sections/locations that just add to the overall uniqueness of the series, that also helps to keep you on your toes as you never know what's coming up in the next scene.

The series follows Papika & Cocona as they adventure in the world of Pure Illusion in search of Shards that once collected will unleash your wildest dreams & wishes (and perhaps more). Papika is a very energetic, bouncy girl who can tend to follow her heart more than her head often leading into trouble but all the while she's having fun & has quite a thirst for adventure, whereas Cocono is more steadfast & tends to more often than not use her intelligence & not rush into things before thinking them through & at the beginning isn't very adventurous like Papika. It's the relationship between these two that really carries the entire show watching them grow & bond with each other is an absolute joy to watch. Except many plot twists & character revelations that'll leave you speechless as well.

For a series almost reminiscent of the works of Studio Ghibli & with some lovely heart warming scenes, tear jerking moments & a hearty dose of adventure & fun this is a show that'll keep you entertained until the final credits roll. 9/10
