Gods and ghosts only exist in fairy tales, right? That's the impression that high school girl Tamki Kasuga has before she goes to live with her grandmother in the remote village of Kifumura. After being attacked by strange creatures upon her arrival, she is soon informed that females in her family contain the blood of the Tamayori Princess, who has the responsibility and power of keeping gods and ghosts sealed away so that they can't harm the general public. At first Tamaki has trouble believing this, but having five beautiful young men following her everywhere she goes acting as her guardians goes a long way towards convincing her.
There's more to this job than Tamaki first realizes, however, and the path that lies ahead of her is fraught with peril and danger. Will she be able to successfully take on the heavy role that has been put on her shoulders?

Utter waste of time. It’s like someone just wanted to make an anime without caring about plot, character development, or..well…anything. The ending is absolutely disappointing and reveals nothing. What little story there is builds up to what is expected to be a spectacular ending. They throw hints of mystery and character ties that never get answered. The main characters are constantly complaining about their lives. The heroine is annoying. The characters are forgettable. There isn’t a single redeeming factor about this anime. I give it a 4/10, and that is being extremely forgiving.

Making an anime based off a visual novel is never easy especially one aimed at a specific target audience, or in this case, the female market. There could be mistakes through adaption, the delivering of the characters, or in other cases, not sticking with the story. There is much to be said regarding what can make an extravagent series out of a visual novel these days especially from a series a game that is not too well known compared to some of the more popular series like FSN, Higurashi, etc. Will Hiiro no Kakera carry out the task of getting through the right audience anddeliver a series worth to talk about?
Hiiro no Kakera (also known as Scarlet Fragment) details the story of a young girl named Tamaki who had a peaceful life till one day she learns about the true extents of her origin and family. Expect the unexpected, right? But more than that, there are five other gorgeous guys that accompanies her and protects Tamaki as she is the next Tamayorihime, or the princess after her grandmother. The story goes on from there where her original peaceful life gets thrown into turmoil when other malevolent forces are after her and the secrets that lies with her past.
- Story 5/10
I'll be honest here. This story has not impressed me as much as I originally hoped. At first glance, it seems to contain a lot of action packed fighting just based on the OP. However, the story flows a bit slow and replaced with rather heavy dialogue relating to protection, secrets, and artifacts. Speaking of artifacts, it is obvious that others would also want them. With one fragile girl and five handsome looking guys looking out for her, this story may seem compelling to fans who are into bachelors and that sort of genre. Unfortunately for me though, that's not my case. But of course, it's based off an otome game and it's aimed at the female market.
+ Art 8/10
If there is one thing out there about this anime that impressed me so far, it would be the artwork. When it comes to artwork for this series, it is done quite beautifully and probably one of the more stand out points. As much as I despise Studio Deen for some of their previous work, the art is beautiful and more realistic.
+ Sound 7/10
Surprisingly, the sound of this series is fluid and occasionally catchy. The OP song “Nee” performed by Fujita Maiko is relaxing and who doesn't want to listen to some relaxing music when waking up on Sundays?
+ Character 5/10
There seems to be something I'm missing here. The main girl gets off a bus and gets protected by a hot guy. But, what kind of connections do they have? Oh but not only that, there are four (well, one later in the story) guys that just pops out into the story with little background so far. As for our antagonists of the story, they are all represented by German numbers. Now, is that significant? The fact that they are after a certain object seems to put them on the bad side of the "good guys" so far. With little to no background of what the characters are like so far in the series, my point of characters stand out as a disappointment.
+ Enjoyment 6/10
Overall, this series is nothing special and not something that I consider the hit of this Spring Season. It might even be worth a drop or an on-hold as a matter of fact. The story is slow and dialogue heavy not helping by the fact of the almost obscure character backgrounds. However, if you're the target of the demographic that the series is being aimed at, then the bulls eye might be hit. The various endings of nearly episode (that I found somewhat disturbing after awhile) may be pleasing to the eyes of a female viewer. Additionally, the fact that the series is labeled with “romance” might bring out your “inner fangirl”. Unfortunately, it's not working for me. However, this could be a pleasing gift to give on Christmas or on Valentine to your girlfriend that are into the bachelor sort of background.

My very first review so please :P Anyways honestly this entire anime/storyline/plot the whole thing about it, was everything i used to dream of as a child. Being told one day, you're some important princess that must "save" the world, but in this story she must protect an important seal or this monster will terrorize the world, which is practically the same thing! And it is a reverse harem, which is a bonus. But pretty much this is a really beautiful story, i'm going to be sure to check out the manga here right away. Beautiful opening theme song, it's just really beautiful the whole thing about it.^_^

I am reminded of the Anime called “Asura Cryin'”. The first season came out in April of 2009 and the second came out in October of 2009. The first season of the Anime actually shares a lot of the problems that “Hiiro No Kakera” happens to have. One of the problems happens to be the fact there were signs that the series had potential but the whole first season falls flat. However, the second season ended up giving those of us who gave it a chance a pleasant surprise. Similarly “Hiiro No Kakera” has the same potential to possibly wow people with the secondseason that is supposed to come in October. Of course, it also has the chance of falling flat. Even if the second season turns out to be a pleasant surprise the question of whether or not watching the first season just to watch the second is going to come up.
The unfortunate fact is, while “Hiirro No Kakera” shares a lot of the same problems, the problems are more evident then they were in “Asura Cryin”. First, “Hiirro No Kakera” has only two episodes (the first and the last) that draw the viewer in without the use of bishonen to drool over. The rest of the episodes fall flat in their story telling. There was a lot of material that could have easily been condensed and the story line would have still not had a rushed feeling to it.
Second, in the first episode you are introduced to a heroine who is mistaken for being clumsy but really isn't. She's weak, but that is because she's never had training for her abilities like the five males. One would think there would be great potential but what I was looking for didn't show up until the last episode. Instead, we were treated to episode after episode of her having angst fits about how she can't do anything.
Honestly, don't be surprised to see this heroine compared to Bella Swan even if the second season is well done. Some people may call her out for having a fake fatal flaw of clumsiness because she is called out for being clumsy in the first episode. This is despite the fact she really did simply misstep like many other people would have done. And lets not forget the constant angst we got from this character and the fact she's likely to be paired with the bad boy of the group. Yup... she may be called a Mary Sue even though she may not be one.
I'm honestly holding out until second season before I judge her on this regard... if there is a second season. I'm not saying I don't want a second season here, I don't like it when series are stopped in the middle and big plot holes are left. Thankfully too it seems they have the other episodes done already. However, I'm also not sure how well this Anime is going to go over. They can always change their mind if they don't make a profit off of the first seasons DVD sales to recoup the cost for creating the DVDs.
As for the sound, the music is beautiful. The voice acting... not so much. It also grated on my nerves at times. Even if these voice actors have good roles, this just isn't their best. Far from it. Hands down, for those who have NOT picked up the first season yet, I suggest waiting at least until the second season comes out and reading some of the reviews for that, that of course don't gush about the bishonen. Even then... you may want to consider using a wiki to get the information necessary from the first season to watch the second. This was rather painful to watch, and I say this having enjoyed the first and last episodes.

First review... Story: Great storyline, poor execution; it would've had more potential if the writers focused on like actual soul searching/demon hunting rather than trying to pair the main girl up with every guy there. Art: For an anime made in 2012, it looked early 2000s. I get that they were trying to follow the game style but visually, it didn't stand out much. Sound: Appropriate OST and sound FX, but not worth looking up any particular song. Characters: teenaged girl visits/moves in with her Grandmother only to find out that she's a princess with hidden magical powers and has hot bodyguards but in typical anime fashion, she'skind of clueless and gullible but nonetheless we're supposed to believe that she can save the world or something. The villains don't really have a purpose other than to annoy the mains, I didn't care much for them. Grandma gets 0 points, she wasn't useless to the story but she wasn't exactly helpful either.
Enjoyment:
Found myself wanting to skip episodes but somehow managed to get through it because, well, i was more than halfway done and had all of the episodes downloaded already.
Overall:
I'd recommend this to the younger generation, like 10-14 yr olds to be quite honest. I had never heard of it before but I was really into reverse harem and this was at the top of everyone's list and I'm not sure why. It's a bit predictable/cliché and after about 8 episodes I found myself skimming the episodes instead of watching them all the way through just to finish it and by the end of it, I didn't even want to start season 2.
Would I watch it again? No.

1/10 I can honestly say this is without a doubt the most boring anime I've ever had the pleasure to experience. The characters are bland, boring, and quite frankly, pathetic. None of them gave anything of value to the story. Their abilities and powers were worthless and with the skills they have in this show I'm surprised they even managed to help at all. The plot was barely existent. I feel like you could watch the first and last episode and still have a fairly decent idea of what was going on. I don't even understand how the writers managed to create a plot like this. Getting through thisanime was an absolute chore, and I nearly fell asleep so many times while watching. I would not recommend this to anyone I know.

Ok, first ever review so sorry if it's a bit useless ¬_¬ Story: I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. It may have been a little slow-paced but I enjoyed the slow development. There are a few twists and some mystery involved in the story line, although some of it can be pretty predictable. I found it very interesting the way things turned out and there are some exciting events, however the first half of the series can get a bit irratating at times but I thought it was definetly worth it. Art: I LOVE the way the characters and scenery is drawn! Everything looked beautiful but not over exaggerated. Iam especially fond of the way the characters are drawn. Emotions are conveyed efficiently through the art which creates a more emotive feeling. The only slight down side is the way the gods are drawn. In the first episode the gods are basically uncreative blobs but further into the series more interesting gods/demons are introduced.
Sound:
The music for the opening is stunning. I absolutely adore it! The sound used throughout the series consistently fitted with the scene and helped to create more vivid and emotive moments. Perfect.
Character:
There is a lot of development in many of the characters, particularly the guardians. They start off having very distinct characteristics which are individually likeable but also have some ideas and feelings that are quite negative. We see them all go from feeling one way to another, which sounds vague but I'm trying not to spoil it! I especially liked Mahiro-Senapi, he was funny throughout and is interaction with the others was always amusing. The guardians also have more serious sides and it's good to see well-rounded, realistic characters. Tamaki annoyed me a little because it took her a while to get into her role as the Tamayori princess but once she got her act together a bit more she was ok. I also really liked Mitsuru-chan, she was sweet and lovely and her character never failed to make me smile.
Enjoyment:
I loved this anime! I watched the first episode but I must admit I wasn't immediately hooked, I waited a whole week before deciding to try another episode and I'm glad I did. The first episode is pretty average but I promise the rest of the series was much more enjoyable! It was nice to see them all forming friendships and the romance between a certain two characters was highly engaging.. I would reccomend you watch this anime NOW! :)
tsunaomi
The whole series was such a waste of time. I have NEVER been so STRESSED and so FRUSTRATED and so ANNOYED over a female protagonist before. I feel like stabbing myself wasting me time watching this ugh... But, I quite like the guys of the show (especially Mahiro because he reminds me so much of Chuuya from BSD). I know this was an anime adaptation of the visual novel, and a lot of visual novel adaptations are quite... bad. This one wasn't TOO bad, it was okay. Would I recommend it? Yeah if you like hot anime boys and wasting your time.

Everyone knows of at least one anime that had the potential to be great, but instead it became a pile of crap, wasting all or most of the potential it had. Well Hiiro no Kakera is yet another title you can add to the list of shows that had potential, but wasted it. Hiiro no Kakera is an adaption of a bunch of popular otome games that currently remain only in Japan. Adapted by Studio DEEN, who can do plenty wrong, you can guess it's them adapting the games improperly that led to this. The show starts out with a girl named Tamaki finding out she isto become the Tamayori Princess that takes place after an encounter with a weird creature she can see. However the thing is, the show doesn't bother explaining much about what the Tamayori Princess is, or anything else after this happens, which is where the cracks start to show. Events just happen thanks to this, and seem like complete nonsense.
The show later soon throws in the guardians into the playing field, and they don't bother developing them much either. By episode 2, the entire cast is together (A bunch of guys that remind you of the vampires that were around Yuki from Vampire Knight-also by DEEN), and they make it seem like all the characters have known each other for a very long time, and have been fighting battles to protect the artifacts (Another thing they don't bother explaining) from the Logos for just as long which shows even more cracks. They don't bother explaining what their goal is, or why all this is happening which makes getting engaged in the story to be quite tough.
The character development is quite erratic. Early on in the show, they just throw the characters in, but later on in the show they attempt to develop a few characters (Especially Takuma in the final few episodes) a bit instead of just making them poof out of nowhere. This helps improve things, but the cracks are already so deep, it's completely impossible to fix them.
Another example of erratic character development is one moment in the show Tamaki suggests the characters talk to each and get to know each other to help in their battle with the Logos, but this doesn't come to pass as they skip this much needed development completely, which completely dashes your hopes about this show. It just shows Studio DEEN is relying on soley the pretty guys and artwork to make this a hit with fujoshi (It should be noted, the show has already bombed in Japan). This is already evident when every episode ends with those brief scenes trying to show off the guys of the show after the credits are done.
The artwork and animation are the show's strongest suit, and everything looks beautiful, especially during the battles with Logos where DEEN steps their game up, but the unfortunate thing is they put in more work into the art and animation (Especially on the male characters-again fujoshi-bait) than everything else which spells nothing but trouble. The artwork in the end becomes pretty much one of the only reasons to keep watching.
Accompanied by the art and animation is of course the soundtrack, and it just works. Nothing too special, but it fits the mood, especially the music during the battles. It helps make a show that is already tough to enjoy due to it's many flaws in storytelling and character development enjoyable at times.
Now I haven't played the games, so I can't confirm how good or badly DEEN adapted them, but as I've heard from those that played the games, they got nearly everything wrong, which doesn't surprise me as I've heard DEEN has done a ton of other things wrong, and I've seen many of these things for myself. Going by the poor and erratic storytelling and character development, them adapting the games wrong is probably true. I just can't imagine the original source material having all these facepalming flaws.
All in all, Hiiro no Kakera can be an enjoyable show if you don't take it too seriously, you just want to stare at beautiful art, and you're not expecting something like Vampire Knight. It was a show that had the potential to be great, but it was wasted due Studio DEEN messing up yet again and putting too much work into the character designs, the art, and the animation than the more important stuff such as the character development and story. I can only wonder how bad the second half of the show is going to turn out when it premiers this Fall.

I love reverse harem anime so this was most defiantly on my watch list, a lot of the time I can be disappointed with reverse harem story lines or I don't get everything I want it to be, but this please me giving me nearly everything I expected of it although the story line is very slow and infuriating it is TOTALLY worth it in the end you HAVE to stick through it, it has everything decent plot, romance, nicely animated and pretty plus action, I would defiantly say this is one of the best anime's I've seen in a while.
care2much2
This is my first review ok. Anyways, overall this anime was very good. It's definitely worth a watch. The art, sounds, and characters were outstanding. The only thing that ruined it is that there was no romance..... That's the ONLY thing I didn't like, but I know Takuma had a thing for Tamaki and she likes him. I think they'll be together soon. They had chances to kiss at least you know and I know the story would have to be altered if that happened, but the story would be a lot more enjoyable. ( I'm big on reverse harem with romance lol )
ethoscraig
Oh my god. This anime is terrible. The story is so drawn out, and its just awful full stop. The character development is bad. If you think they are going to develop into some tough characters they are not. They just get beaten. The ending is also extraordinarily bad. I can't believe I put myself through this thinking it was going to get better in the end because it didn't If you are thinking of watching this. Don't. It is really really bad. Possibly one of the worst shows I have watched. The only positive thing I could say about this is the art work which isaverage. Everything else is extremely poor.

Story:5/10 The story is a typical reverse harem, where 5 boys are the guardians of the lead heroin Tamaki. The story starts pretty slowly and often repeats itself for the first few episodes, but by the end, it was somewhat captivating. Art: 5/10 For a anime that was made in 2012, it's art style was old and didn't really stand out, nothing special. That being said, it didn't bother me or take away from the story. Characters: 6/10 They are kinda cliche characters, but do have some unique elements. There's nothing that really stood out to me. Enjoyment/overall: 6/10 Although at times, I didn't think the story wasgoing to go anywhere, by the last episode I did want to see what would happen next. I enjoyed that by the end at least some of the characters were explained and built more depth then they previously had in the beginning. There is a second season, so maybe giving it a chance will show a more interesting story...
TheFutureIsAni1
Hiiro No Kakera in my view one of best romance/ drama series. In the very opening with the opening song, to the animation, which features fall season. Which I enjoy a lot because fall is my favourite season. To all the characters in which every male harem I seen I feel some male characters overshadow others, while this one just blend together with the female character. Which is other great fact is lead female character didn't get overshadow either, in fact it was focus on her and her journey. One key ingredient for me to love the show, is me wanting more. I trylooking up see it's manga series and sadly there not big series.
I think others will love this series, for the journey each character takes and how they work as kinda of mishap family, and the opening music will make you want to learn more about the story.
SincerelyShania
To begin, I'd like to say that this review will only be considering the first season of this anime (the first thirteen episodes). I just got done watching Hiiro no Kakera a few moments ago, and I thought I should go ahead and review what I've seen so far before moving on to the next season. I will not include any spoiler content. With all of that being said... Before I move onto actually critiquing different aspects of the series, there are a few points I would like to bring up. For one, Hiiro no Kakera, as far as I've watched, seems to be an animethat caters almost exclusively to its main genre--romance. In other words, be sure not to watch this show expecting it to have much action, drama, or any other element; the romance aspect of the story is focused on almost entirely, leaving every other aspect to amount to little more than background noise. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you came here looking for a decent romance anime, this one gets right down to it. Another point to take note of is that, yes, the series progresses very slowly throughout the first season. Even the actual "climax" of the story up to this point is pretty tame. Personally, I did not mind the slow progression of the story, as I began watching Hiiro no Kakera with the sole purpose of wanting to kill some time with a cheesy romance, and it offers that and then some. So, if you're still interested in watching up to this point, I'll move onto the ratings I gave to the anime.
Story: 6
It is nothing special as far as romance anime goes. The plot is pretty straight to the point throughout the first season. A high school girl learns that she is actually a princess due to her lineage and ends up being guarded by five individualistic and extremely good looking men. There aren't many twists and turns, but plenty of hot guys and cutesy moments to enjoy. As I've stated previously, the simplicity of the show (up to this point) does not necessarily mean it is bad. I would be lying if I said I didn't get a decent bit of entertainment out of it. All in all, the plot is sturdy but not a diamond in the rough as of yet.
Art: 8
The art is one of the highest points of the series. The 3d animation used has been hit or miss so far, but otherwise, it is beautiful--very crisp and fluid.
Sound: 7
Now, honestly, the thing about the audio that earns sound a 7 is not the voice acting. In truth, the voice actors seemed to get kind of lazy as the story progressed. Fairly often, some of them would even slip out of their usual speaking voices (notably Ohmi). The voice acting is decent, all in all, and in itself, it could probably earn sound a 6 or so; however, what earned sound a 7 from me is the music. From the amazing opening melody to the traditional riffs that play here and there throughout the show, the music was great, in my opinion. It set a tone for the show all on its own, and might almost make up for the voice actors' semi-frequent slip-ups.
Characters: 6
There's nothing wrong with the characters at all. I only gave them a 6 because they have portrayed themselves to be pretty one-dimensional and not anything out of the ordinary, especially as far as characters from a romance or a reverse harem anime goes. The main group of young men includes the aggressive but protective type, the mature and intelligent type, the meek but considerate type, the cool and collected type, and the hot-headed but secretly sensitive type. The villains are what I'd consider to be the lowest point of the characters; they're just boring and stereotypical. I did enjoy watching most of the characters on screen, although they weren't groundbreaking. There is a hot guy of every flavor, though, so I'd say the options are nice. There's someone for almost anyone, haha!
Enjoyment: 7
Again, if you begin watching this anime expecting it to be what it actually is--almost STRICTLY a simple romance/reverse harem--then you will probably be able to enjoy it. I know I was! I like it enough to be moving onto the next season once I finish this review, at least!
Overall: 6.5
I couldn't really settle on a 6 or 7 for this because I truly believe that the anime has potential despite how simply the plot is set up to the point I've watched. It has cool basic concepts and was enjoyable, if nothing else, despite the downfalls of it. It is a great choice for anyone looking to check out a relatively lighthearted (in the sense that none of the drama or plot devices get super intense in this season), straight-to-it romance/reverse harem. I feel inclined to bring up the fact that I've seen a lot of reviews bashing the female protagonist, Tamaki, for being useless and taking too long to awaken her true potential. In my opinion, the slow buildup to her gaining her powers has been pretty entertaining, albeit she's realized them fairly marginally so far. Every now and then, I can appreciate a show that takes things slow in order to focus on developing characters and character relationships. Do not expect much action-wise from Tamaki, but I wouldn't consider her character anything extreme like completely annoying or useless. She has a lot of room to grow, and I'm excited to see where her story goes. Hiiro no Kakera is an anime that is good at what it is supposed to be doing, but not much else. Despite that, it is a fun watch with a lot of potential to develop into something much better than it already is!
I hope to write a review for the second season soon, so if you are still wondering if you should waste time on this anime, there may be more persuasive answers (whether that be for better or for worse) there! Hope this helped!

In short, this is a quite enjoyable anime. The story is well written,even though it might appear boring for some if not most people. However,those of you who likes to watch show based on mythologies,this is a perfect anime for you. Story: The story is well-paced.I have not seen any sort of rush in both of the season.It developed it's way through from the very first episode till the end and resolves all the conflict it presents.The first season starts off with introducing Tamayori hime and the five seal guardians,and quickly brings in the enemies into the plot without wasting any time.Instead of slowly talking about theTamayori and Onikirimaru legend,it instead tells the story part by part.I'm pretty sure this is what throws a lot of viewers out who wants to see a quick plot that goes straight into action.However,I believe the approach they took to tell the story was a good one,even though it flushes out most of the viewers.The story focuses on mythology,even though I am not sure if it's a made-up mythology of Onikirimaru or if it's a real mythical character.But since I like animes that focuses on this sort of topic, I enjoyed it a lot.
Art and sound:
The art was pretty modern.The colors gave it more of a mythical vibe,as if it has taken place a long time ago.The battle scenes were pretty badass and the flashy skills the characters did were exciting. The sounds also boost the tension during the battle scenes.(P.S : I love the 2 opening songs though <3 )
Character:
The story begins with introducing a mentally lost girl who moved in to the village from Tokyo and suddenly learned that she was some sort of a hime who is suppose to strengthen some sort of seal to protect the world ...I'm pretty sure if you are walking in the street and suddenly someone takes you away to White House and says you are president now,you will feel quite lost.Along with her,the story introduces 5 guys who are the guardian of the seals she is suppose to protect and the enemy team who is trying to break the seal.Throughout the 2 seasons,her friendship and relationship between the 5 guardian are increased.However,some of the characters are left in the dark except for Takuma.I feel like they should have gave more characteristic to the other 4 character and why or how their family started to protect Tamayori hime and such.
Overall, like I said before, I liked this anime a lot.Even though I know it's from an Otome game,so it was natural to see some reversed-harem going on,which is 1 of my favorite genres.However,I was happy when she actually acted on her own and picked someone,unlike other reversed-harem animes.But,the storyline on this anime were more interesting to me rather than who she picks.Plus,it was obvious in the 2nd season too,since everyone is a good friend to her,but there was only one who was most important to her. I wish they would make more animes like this.

This is my second review so I hope this goes well. I gave this anime a 6 overall rating, which for me is actually pretty good. it was a n enjoyable watch, with a few problems that I think brought down the overall rating for me. Story: The story is where the anime lost a lot of points for me. first of all you have your main character, Tamaki, who is you average useless girl who is thrust into a situation where she gets to have multiple hot guys basically protect her from everything while each falling love with her. In that respect it`s youtypical reverse harem, but what really got to me was the main idea of the story, which this site explains pretty well, of a girl getting special powers and is guarded by five men who are half demon. But for me this story line wasn`t used to its fullest extent which is why the rating is so low.
Animation: I though that the animation for the characters themselves were pretty consistent for a harem type anime. Lots of hot guys and beautiful girls with there rarely being an ugly person in the whole mix. That said the background and demons in my opinion could have used some work. There was a lot of repetition with demon types and styles, not to mention the battle scenes seemed to be rip offs of each other with rarely anything new happening until the last episode.
Characters: Like previously mentioned our main character Tamaki is an ordinary girl who is suddenly given a huge change in her life. She had, in my opinion little to no character development all. This is also the same of many of the other characters. Since this is only the first season it is to be expected, as the show is more laying out the foundation for the second season.
Sound: This was probably the best part of the whole anime for me, both the opening and ending track was amazing and well suited to this anime. As well as the background music during some scenes was amazing as it help set the tone of the episodes really well.
Overall: Despite all my criticism I do actually think that this first season was a pretty good start to the series. While I like the second season better, I liked how this season set this up so that it was easy to follow along and really get to know the characters, despite their lack of development. I think that anybody interested in a pretty good romance anime then they should try this.

Interesting beginning but with bits and pieces that keeps annoying me as i go on. So why would i say this as a starter. Well as a beginning i dont think the story is bad per say although it wont say its original either. A zeal that shouldnt be unlocked and so on so on. For me the story begun good enough it was a nice beginning and i felt like it was felt good going into it. Then as the story went i felt it started to get rushed or it felt like they just had to push every action scene imaginable as they wenton. Honestly it felt uninteresting at some point since you never got to enjoy the anime or the scenery that was drawn it was more like when were done with this lets rush to this place and so on although its only 12 episodes so i will give them a break for that since most short anime like this almost needs to be rushed i feel. As the story went on i felt myself get more irritated then exited for whats next. Since it was almost like you could guess what happened in the next episode easily and i felt boring.
The art was typical shoujo anime style which i honestly like and the sound was very forgetable to be honest beside some small beautiful pieces.
Kasuga, Tamaki is what i would call main main meaning she is above the rest as she is the center of attention per say. When i talk about this character my bias personality will come forth because this kind of main character is one of the worst types imo. Why because she is supposed to feel a great almost divine princess but end up being more useless than Sakura in the entire original Naruto series. She became a meat shield spouting idealistic thoughts without even thinking or reading up on what she talked about and frankly it was annoying to listen to.
The rest of her Harem if you want are typical in that they have their own types of personalities. Some of them are interesting kinda but some of them are so annoying or irritating that its hard to feel sympathy for their causes or thoughts.
Well i enjoyed it as a normal fantasy anime with a spice of reverse harem but to be frank its not an anime that leaves me with a big impression. it was normal and ok i mean it wasnt bad but it wasnt anything over either.
Overall this anime goes from 5 to 6 as i think but i still feel its a little better than just a 5 so i felt 6 is the only thing i should give it. If you like eye candy for girls = good looking guys and you want to feel like the main girl in the story then this anime might be for you (btw then i advice watching after the ending ) and if you generally like shoujo like anime. But if you want a fantasy anime or even reverse harem with a little more interesting parts in it i wouldnt really say that this is a go to watch anime.

Hiiro no Kakera Season 1 Review -5/10 I love Reverse Harem. I really do. That's why I've tried watching it. Romance, Reverse Harem and Historical. A perfect combination for me. So here, this is my review for this Anime. Plot: 6/10 The concept is okay, I guess. It is quite predictable and there's nothing much to be excited about, honestly. Well yeah, there are some questions in mind that will make you think to watch the next season. But it's 50 50 for me. Though I don't skip what anime I've already started so I will watch it some other time. T is quite difficult to give a reviewwithout spoiling anyone so I'll warn you. While this anime focuses on protecting something precious, they keep on losing and ranting on their situation, again and again. It makes me want to forward it to the next scene to the next episode and the like. Instead of dping things which can actually keep them from going forward, I don't think they've made an effort at all.
As I've said, the concept or the plot was good enough, the point is the character didn't keep up on this or haven't made they role successfully.
CHARACTER: 4/10
Character Or Character Development is one of the thing I want to see when watching an anime. So basically, this anime fails to show me that. I love this genre, yeah. But what I want the most when I watch this kind of anime is for the girl or what we say protagonist to be brave, independent. Though it is a fact that a girl is much weaker. We can also show our strong side, our brave side. I don't see any changes at all and it seems that the slight changes on the final episodes is forceful. The romance in it is also forceful. I don't know how to say it but the relationship, the friendship and the like is quite forceful to me. It consists of 12 episodes but I don't think the anime successfully show the significance of each and every character in their own unique and awesome way.
SOUND: 9/10
I love the songs on this anime. I don't understand it but I feel the emotions on it. It made me save it on my music list, honestly. The voice of the character for me is fine. I don't really know how to rate it in sounds but really, the opening song of this anime is great.
ENJOYMENT: 4/10
Sorry but this anime is really boring for me. It really makes me want to fast forward it. But hey! I've successfully finish the season 1 without fastforwarding and skipping it. LOL. We have different types of anime so if you want an anime with hot guys protecting a weak girl, maybe this suits your taste. But sorry, I won't go on and say it's good so you need to watch it. Watch at your own risk.
So yeah. That is my review for this anime. I don't remember what other categpries are there fpr reviewing an anime so I hope this helps! Thanks :)
