    Zetsuen no Tempest



    Summary: The story revolves around Mahiro Fuwa, a teenager whose family was mysteriously murdered one year before and his friend Yoshino Takigawa. Mahiro is contacted by Hakase Kusaribe, the leader of the Kusaribe clan who was left stranded on an unknown desert island by her followers, and agrees to help Hakase in exchange of her help to find out the culprit for the death of his family. Upon learning of his friend's intentions, Yoshino joins him on his quest to stand against the Kusaribe clan who intends to awake the "Tree of Zetsuen" whose power can bring ruin to the entire world.

    Several dialogues and plot elements in Zetsuen no Tempest pay homage to the works of William Shakespeare.

    Zetsuen no Tempest

    Watched first two episodes and I'll keep watching for now. No real input other than the first episode was chock full of kicking chicks in the face.

    If the season goes at least halfway without
    Spoiler: show
    Mahiro finding out about Yoshino and Aika, I'm predicting a Scotty Doesn't Know AMV.

    Five episodes in this show is more interesting than I thought. Hakaze is pretty badass and the two guys are not bad. Would definitely like to see what a powerful mage like her can do with the magic of that world.

    Loved the last few episodes and their confrontation with Samon. I really like how how they draw you into the characters' minds, trying to figure out a conclusion to the story rather than just having a final confrontation and handing you a 'good guy beats bad guy' finale.

    I don't even know who I agree with anymore, it reminds me of the first half of Death Note. This anime is definitely turning into one of my favorites this year.

    Great choice of music too. It's hard to use this kind of music without coming off as trying too hard, but I think they've pulled it off.

    This series was pretty lame at the start, but slowly it has gotten more interesting and I find myself enjoying it more.

    She was getting her ass kicked pretty hard, and then the doode (different from the original guy) beating her up fell in love with her.





    Spoiler: show
    The fell in love part may not be true, I was kinda half-watching during that part and wasn't really focused on it.

    Big bump.

    What in the actual fuck happened to this show? It's gone through almost a total genre shift in the last three episodes.

    Actually (Legitimate spoilers inside)
    Spoiler: show
    Aika was the original Mage of Exodus, she commit suicide and her powers transferred over to the kid that was introduced. Aika was actually a more powerful mage than even Hakaze.

    Yeah, there isn't much to talk about but I still like this show. I wasn't sure at the beginning if it was worth anything, but at least the Hamlet/Tempest references aren't so...weird or annoying. Maybe I'm just used to it.
