Synopsis ~
Hugh Anthony Disward
inherits an old mansion and a personal library from his grandfather. In the
basement of the mansion, he meets a mysterious girl, Dalian. She is a Dantalian
and a gateway to "Dantalian's bookshelf," which stores the prohibited
books of the demons.
Dopess says –
This is a strangely interesting storyline, I really liked it in a weird
way. For me this was about Hugh who just inherited his grandfathers library
without knowing what really went on behind those doors. When he finds Dantalian
does he find it more interesting to know what she does and that he has the key
to all this. At the beginning there is another girl where he remembers from
memory so it all connects one way or another.
Dopes Rates ~
What I liked was the Manga more than the Anime it was mediocre at its
best, only making it feel good enough to watch but it probably for some
wouldn’t be worth the time. For me though I was engaged in the story and it was
good in a sense of mystery to it.
Dantalian sweet, with a vast amount of knowledge is the total opposite
of her clothing she is actually cute and very childish with the love of sweet
things. When battle arises she gets her game on an shows off a great side to
her in general.
Hugh, is quite good his development in the story isn’t that clear but
it’s good enough to know what he is really about and what he does in general.
He has the key and he knows when to use it, we also find out that he is trying
to save the other girl from complete loneliness. And the way he takes care of
Dantalian shows off his cute side lets also be honest they have their funny
moments too.
The music is very latin like and gothic which suits the shows and I
really enjoyed the bgm however its all mediocre for me as I wasn’t too keen on
the music as I hoped to be. The artwork was charming and very good I really
love the style, I really enjoyed the character designs of the characters and
the simple yet realistic sense of the background too which got me happy.
Dopes dislikes ~
It was overall really short in 12 episodes; it didn’t conclude anything
or give us any other insights. I was hoping for a 24 episode which would have
been better but none. Lets also not forget there could have been more in the
character development as well, but it didn’t harm anyone, I still liked the
mains. There are also more important characters in the show which doesn’t get
air time and leaves us with questions than answers. And the side characters
aren’t shown much either which I was hoping for because they were quite
hilarious too.
Dopes Conclusion –
Overall the show was good! I really did enjoy it I loved the animation
the most as it was fluid the story was interesting, but it could have been done
with more. It’s a shame because the Manga surpassed a bit more than the show,
but either way it’s been directed and beautifully written so I can’t complain
so if you want a bit of mystery and action with a interesting concept on books
this is your show!
