Wow.....
what a pointless show.
This show is about an Island, Regalio, and it's bad of mercenaries.... town guards.... fighters... things.... who all have magic powers thanks to making contract with different tarot card (i'm assuming they only stick to the Major Arcana but more on that later)
but.... thast not what it's about....
NO it's about the Arcana Duello, a tournament where all members of the previously mentioned Magical Mercenaries (gunna call them the Family from this point on) fight to be the next Papa AND to have the chance to have one wish granted AND to get to marry his daughter.
But... thats not really what this is about...
No it's about Felicita and her two childhood friends Nova and Liberta, each of them have their own damage but they work together to be even closer and to help work things out.
But thats not what it's about....
No it's actually about htis shady guy and this odd kid who appears in three episodes... then you find out what the kid is and they are enver mentioned again....
But once again.... not what this show is about...
No in all truth it's about the fact that the Family's papa is dying because too many of the cards don't have host so they are feeding off him (which is odd cause in the last episode theres like... 50 people in the stands and only 26 or so major arcana... i mean if we are counting minor then thats fine... i'd just hate to be the guy contracted with the 9 of swords.....) so the show is about finding someway to help him live and we find out that his daughter can but certain things must happen and despite having such a happy life she can't make thse things happen
BUT THAT STILL ISN'T WHAT THIS SHOW IS ABOUT.
after all of that..... ALL OF THAT the show is actually about taking 13 episodes and going on these crazy semi connected tangents and then at the end returning everything to the status quo like nothing even happened.
I hate when shows do that. if after the story nothing has really changed... no one has truly grown and NOTHING was accomplished.... what is the point.
And i liked this show right up till the last 5 minutes.... so sad.
Ugh... ok.
The good:
Love the character design, the animation, the intro and ending song are really good... visually it's eye candy.
The not so good:
Read above..... this plot is so bad i don't even think my description does it justice.... if this show had a point or a statement then it could have been so much better...
it was so close to being good...
and thats what annoys me i REALLY wanted to like this show... up until the very end it was doing so cool stuff and the magic system was fun cause i enjoy things that have to do with tarot cards.... and then it got lazy....
wasted potential just is so irritating.
But if your interesting watch episode 1-11, it's still pointless and theres no overarching plot but it's better then sitting through that awful last episode that essentially ruined the entire show.
Am i being harsh? yeah probably but i just can't describe how annoying it is to have your time wasted when you thought it was something good.
