Synopsis ~

The Kusaribe family is a family of sorcerers under the protection of the "Tree of Origins". Their princess, Hakaze Kusaribe, was the greatest sorceress of their family. But Samon Kusaribe, a member of their family seeking to resurrect the "Tree of World's End", a tree that opposes the "Tree of Origins" and controls the power of destruction, stuffs her into a barrel, and banishes her to a deserted island. From the deserted island, she sends a message out to sea, which is picked up by Mahiro Fuwa, a young boy who's sworn vengeance upon the criminal who killed his little sister, Aika. Mahiro agrees to help Hakaze under the condition that she find Aika's killer with her magic. But once Mahiro's best friend and Aika's lover, Yoshino Takigawa is rescued from danger, he too gets dragged into this tale of revenge.

Dope Says ~

The story of this Anime is quite promising, what i can say is that from a shakespare inspired story this show magically involved alot of twists which worked for them! I am impressed by the sudden change in frameworks and involvement with all the characters and the bewitching tales that followed, considering it had two stories mashed together one being Hamlet the other Tempest. So if no one actually reads those two, then it wouldn’t really make a difference, but it would be good to know for the show in a way.

Dopes Rate ~

Let me start with the characters, they are like in general of the story in order! The tree of Genesis to the tree of Exodus, it all flows through they all have a part to play, just like in a real life play if we ever saw one of Shakespeares. They are all dynamically in order that it makes the story flow a lot without having to question anyone presence as we know who is doing what and why including the twists. Hakaze the strong female bad ass who got banished, Aika the selfish yet appearing frail when in reality her idealism is a strong part in the show, Mahiro the ever so cunning and brash spoken male who doesn’t hide his own feelings for others benefits, is complete chaos compared to his best friend Yoshino, who is the most detached of them all, his compromise between reality and chaos freaks him out that when a certain part of him refuses to move one until things have settled.

The art by far is my favorite, its colorful with a blend of darkness to it. To follow the theme through it shows off in a light sense along with the music it accompanies. I thoroughly enjoyed both of the work itself mixing in with the sound I thought it suited it well, especially when Hakaze talked and figured things out in her own pace of time, she had a wonderful selection of bgm that suited her.

Dopes dislikes ~

There could be flaws in this show that I would have missed out, but, I do believe that it was quite mechanical in some parts where they often needed to realise they were not just toys in the game. They had a slight disconnection as if they were actors playing in a play rather than realizing they were facing actual danger in the show. Besides that, there was a lot of talking in the show, which I found tedious in some parts and I do believe I am the only one saying this but I got tired of Aika quoting hamlet quotes at some parts.

Dopes Conclusion ~

By far a more interesting concept and idea of an Anime, I really enjoyed it and I hope you guys do too, I have read the manga and do believe it has a similar progression to the Anime. The progression of the show itself was great in a 25 episode limit, it pulled off everything in a nice sense there was no great fan service and also if you like a really good paced show with a sense of great designed characters and plot this is a good show for you so check it out when you can and give it a try.
