I'm gonna try and start to do 더 많이 reviews on animes I watch. Here's one for Arcana Famiglia.
Be warned for SPOILERS
Description/Info:
The Arcana Famiglia is a powerful organization that keeps the peace on the trading island of Regalo. The most unique trait of this prestigious "family" is their mastery of the Arcana - mystical powers derived from tarot cards. The current leader of the Arcana Famiglia, Mondo, wishes to choose a successor through a tournament called the Arcana Duello, and as added incentive, the winner will take the hand of Mondo's daughter, Felicita. However, two young men among the family - impetuous Liberta and serious-minded Nova - are 더 많이 interested in protecting Felicita's freedom than letting her be someone's trophy wife. Together, Liberta, Nova and Felicita get to know each other better ... but with Felicita's ability to read minds, she may discover 더 많이 than she bargained for in Liberta's violent past and Nova's troubled family history. Can the trio remain friends, 또는 will the growing tension between them be too much to bear?

Overall: 7/10
사무용 겉옷, 전반적인 this 아니메 was okay. It was certainly a LOT 더 많이 interesting parts in the beginning of the show. However, 의해 the end I was a bit hesitant to keep watching already knowing the of come of the anime. Liberta 또는 Nova would get to be the closest to getting the girl, Felicita. And since she didn't end up with anyone, it upsets me even 더 많이 than her ending up with one of them. Though I'm fine with her being with Nova, for Liberta seemed "generic" to me.
From the description, this 아니메 actually sounded pretty interesting. Reverse harem, action, and of course romance. However, there isn't much romance to it and with the way this 아니메 ended it was very upsetting and disappointing.
Story: 5/10
The story had a wonderful twist to it, at first. Mondo, aka "Papa" and Felicita's father announces that anyone with Arcana powers may enter a tournament to obtain the 제목 of "Papa", be granted a wish and get to marry Felicita. However, since she also has Arcana powers she may also be able to be in the tournament. Which I thought would be interesting having the heroine being badass.
Usually when they go on patrol to find crime within their island (reminds me of Hakuouki) they capture criminals and all of that jazz, but they use sharp, dangerous weapons, but no blood is 로스트 in anyone, which did upset me. If you're going to hold a sharp weapon and hit someone, they'd bleed, no? I mean I understand that you're trying to kill anyone, but really.
Moving on, as I've said, the beginning of the 아니메 was amazing and made me except each and every character to get a separate episode. And I was also a little upset with how they didn't give some characters a significant amount of development. I expected Felicita to have an episode with each guy, but it didn't happen.
There were some beautiful hilarious moments that just make 당신 사랑 the show, in the beginning. Near the middle 당신 find out that Jolly is experimenting on humans making them have the Arcana powers forcefully to protect Papa, which I found highly interesting. However, 당신 don't get to see much of the people's past who got forced to make a contract, i.e. Luca, Debito, Pace and Elmo 또는 how he does it. I thought this was irritating. I know that it only had 12 episodes but this 아니메 was fairly rushed, especially 의해 the last episode.
Speaking of which, the last episode was terrible. It was SO rushed. I was basically waiting the entire 아니메 for the tournament and it was in the last episode. I have no idea why but during the first rounds everyone used their powers with ease and won perfectly. However 의해 the 초 round, Luca, Debito and Pace fought Felicita and lost. The fight wasn't even shown. All 당신 see is them charging at her then sad in Tamaki's corner. This royally upset me. I was waiting to see everyone's power to their full potential, and an epic fight but sadly, no. The only "fights" was Nova VS Liberta, obvious, but even that fight was decent. All they did was clash there swords "x" times and they cut to hours later with the fighting still going on then the two guys are like "I'm gonna put all of my last once of power into my sword!!!" (They both use a sword) A big cliche class with their 색깔 followed 의해 an explosion. Boom. It was a draw and Felicita won. She got to fight her father but all she was doing was doing her usual kicks, and he was doing lame repeating punches as she looked into his heart. She beat him with one kick. Her wish, for Papa to be "Papa" until he dies. No one gets to marry Felicita and then Papa starts yelling at anyone who'd dare to marry Felicita while he's alive. Typical dad stuff.
Voice Acting/Art/Animation: 9/10
The animations and voice 연기 were wonderful! The loved the unique high lighting of their hair. They're eyes were rather adorable. The voice actors fit their characters rather well. Only Felicita's was a little off. Her seiyuu also plays Kotomi in CLANNAD and with Felicita being a polite badass, it was odd for me so I can't give it 10/10
Characters: 9.8/10
The characters were amazing. Every character was pretty interesting and possible 사랑 interests were very amazing and different. Hard to believe but Felicita could end with link. However, I found Jolly to be a "douche" at times. He's an interesting character but rather cold. Also with Liberta, he was the one that right when 당신 meet him 당신 know he had the best chance out of everyone. The generic "I'm not strong enough, my master looks down on me, I 로스트 my parents, and I'm super happy still." Is he Naru-kun? Both blonde too....except Kakashi, Jiraya, Iruka, etc didn't look down on him, the village did.
Enjoyment: 7/10
I actually did enjoy this 아니메 to a certain episode. I really loved how some of the characters were full of humor and life. However, with the story being terribly rushed, I have to degrade it down a bit. All in all it was okay and the fantastic characters balanced out the rushed ending. But of course, I did find characters I dislike a little.
