Tokyo Ravens

Review

Easily one of the highlights of Tokyo Ravens, the story is well developed and cohesive throughout the anime. Set in an alternate universe of post-world war II filled with magic, it comes with a few surprising twists and turns. The story is filled with hits of romance, action and fantasy and they all come together to form a story that will have you craving more once it comes to an end.

The art itself were also pretty good, fitting well in with the story and providing well expressed characters when it was needed. Some part were also a bit sloppy when it came to the art, but when it came to the fighting, the art were perfectly done in a way that fits perfectly with what I am looking for in a action anime. I was easily taken by the fighting scenery and style.

Quite a delight. The OP and EP were catchy, the opening in particular. Background music and other tracks succeed in capturing suspense, tranquility, and other moods set scene by scene. Character wise, I have no real issues with any specific characters, so overall, well done..well done.

Overall I would say that Tokyo Ravens is a good, well-written anime that may be overlooked by many people (such as myself) that would think it’s just another harem-ish shounen. I would recommend giving it try, and letting it prove or disprove that preconception itself.

My Final Review: 8.2

Summary

In some event known as the “Great Disaster,” Japan has been thrown into chaos by onmyouji (a kind of magician). Harutora Tsuchimikado was born into an onmyouji family, but he has no power whatsoever. He lived normally as a regular boy, but his estranged childhood friend Natsume Tsuchimikado suddenly appears to him one day. When they were younger, he made a promise long ago to become her shikigami (familiar), and she is back to make him fulfill that promise! A battle between onmyouji is about to begin…
