Hana wa Saku, Shura no Gotoku tells about Hana Haruyama struggle to find herself and to getting better at recitation. While the plot may be a bit too common in it's developements, it still is generally good. The animation on the other hands it's superb especially during the recitations parts. The Characters instead are exactly what you can aspect from this type of anime, with most of them having a darker part of their past influencing their current behaviour, not so original isn't it? And the seinyuus? they are fairly in the middle, again their best performance are during the recitation parts. In the end it is a fairly goodanime, not exellent per say.
