Yin and Ning are two sisters who have been wandering the land together ever since their village was destroyed by the villainous Taibai Empire. Their childhood friend, Zhao, has been enslaved by the Taibai himself, and uses his brilliance at tinkering and inventing to get by as a slave to the Empire's whims. One day, Yin accidentally discovers a legendary sword, which grants her fantastic abilities in combat, and allows her to summon a mystical, mechanical fox spirit named Yun, who is sworn to fight by her side. Meanwhile, Zhao is making fast friends with a mysterious young girl who just may hold a great amount of power within the Taibai Empire. As Zhao and the Fu sisters find themselves increasingly caught up in the Empire's battle for supremacy over the land, it will take all of the magic and might that the budding resistance armies can muster to turn the tide of war once and for all.

Unconfidence
This anime is pretty much the definition of mediocre. It's not bad, but it really fails to capitalize on the rich setting and world they build. Characters are often introduced and just sort of exist without much development or interpersonal interaction. The way violence is used very casually lends so much potential to the show, but in the end they seem more interested in using that violence as a shock factor than to use it for character development. That said there are some good things going for it. Their inability to put character depth beyond the main three characters actually works inthe case of the automaton, which in so many other anime would have a developed personality but which was in this show pleasantly flat and tool-like. The willingness of the animators to use real-life landscapes from China really adds a level of overall beauty to the show. And despite the mini-harem nature of the relationship between the main characters, the women aren't represented in a particularly weak or vulnerable fashion.
It's kind of aggravating because there were some characters I genuinely liked, but I feel like their motivations and feelings were really just incidental, and that their destiny had been written by the authors despite their personalities. By episode 4 I was really excited to see the developmental arc of the little sister, but two episodes later I'm facepalming as the authors immolate any possibility of her arc being enjoyable.
You should watch this anime if you have a soft spot for Chinese culture and history, if you like action anime and don't mind transformation scenes, or if you want to watch people be slaves to romance in the middle of wars killing thousands.

Ken En Ken: Aoki Kagayaki Surely you've seen some anime and just thought "Wow, this is bad! Possibly even the worst anime there is-" No. But this one could be in the top 15 worst anime series of all time by any possible measure. To describe the anime briefly: "Random Bullshit Go". We have Avatar the Lord of Elements + some low-budget magic building with no lore, monsters with magic powers that dissolve into fairy dust as soon as they lose enough HP, war with some robot dolls (that later shoot lasers around), people in flying super armor with the most epic name ever "Dark Flames". SailorMoon Weapon Summons. Medieval Gundam and yandere simulator all in one.
The pacing is slow. The scene changes are disastrous (especially in the first 2 episodes), you almost get the feeling the episodes were cut. Characters are contentless and tedious. The story is one-dimensional, monotonous, and boring. The ending is bad. Realization is bad.
And to top it off, this anime had some of the worst dialogue I've ever seen. They could almost come from the imagination of a 14-year-old trying to get into an RPG.
[Story 1]
Whoever wrote this possessed 2 good approaches. First, he tried to place the protagonists on two opposing sides. And second, he tried to use war as a tool for different perspectives and hypocritical actions of the characters. But the implementation of these ideas almost made me cry. It could have gone in the right direction.
[Characters 2]
"I hate you because you love me."
Is, by the way, a quote from the anime. Because the hallway is made out of hallway, the author had no choice but to improvise from this.
One-dimensional and empty. Villains are villains without any depth. All other side characters are NPCs. The 3 protagonists have almost no real dialogue. And all their character problems were so unrealistic and exaggerated, that no limits were set.
[Animation 2 / Music 5]
Poor CGI, only freeze-frame fights, hardly any detail (except in the throne room). And the frames were almost eye-popping. That you can make a jump attack out of 3 frames and sell this as animation is new to me.
Music was average, at least intro and osts.
[Conclusion 2]
I give at least one point for the fact that the ideas were there and some scenes may have been almost sub-par. But all in all, this is one of the worst anime I've seen so far. I can't recommend it to anyone and hope that no one else ever watches it either.

I'll keep this short: I really enjoyed the overall plot and the main conflict of the characters but neither is going to fix the issues this anime has. The CGI was a poor choice, most of the side characters are underdeveloped, the dialogue is in large parts underwhelming and the elements of magic and engineering are used too superficially for my taste. I profoundly enjoyed that the show doesn't really allow you to have a single emotion towards any of the four strongest developed characters, best shown in Ning, a character you'll dislike from the start to the very end for being a horribleperson and you'll still feel profoundly horrified by the level of abuse she's put through.
