Spoiler warning

This review may discuss plot details.

Is it just me or am I the 2nd one to make a review of this Chinese Themed anime, cu'z it seems that this anime was totally ignored as if a lotta guys sees this as if it ain't anime if there is no Japanese in it, like the quintessential katana, fan service and kimono in it??????Oh well, I guess they just can't accept such anime that has a lotta anachronism cu'z the setting was that in what can be called a warring states period of China were such mechs called Zhengtian should not exist , coupled with people that have super powers. so Iguess having people with super powers with some mechs on the sides basically complicates this anime , but then again some games should just remain as games than being given an anime adaptation, now don't ask me why, since I haven't have the foggiest , all I know that this isn't a sough after anime. so without further adieu, here is how I see this anime:

Story-Good 7: It was poor due to the setting , anachronism, and the fact that it center around the relationship with a guy name Zhao with his girls namely Ning, Yin and Cheng and the lives they lived after Zhao , Ning and Yin got separated during the Taiban's army assault in their village as they straggle to survive in a world where wars and misery were constant to one must take advantage every opportunity that arrives and that what exactly what happen to Ning and Yin when they join the rebels they enjoy having a roof over their heads and Zhao was able to enjoy power and luxury when he was saved by Cheng whom at first he has no idea who she is. From their things turns around when Ning and Zhao goes back to the same shit they endured in the hands of Cheng. Good as it maybe, it just ended in a cliff hanger.

Art-fair 6: Since there isn't any fanservices for any wolves to howl for, and the fashion was in tune for the setting.

Sound-fair 6: the rating was for Yin's seiyuu Mizuki Nana who was just too old to voice a young girls voice and Ning seiyuu Kugimiya Rie who still uses her signature childish voice that seemly hasn't change with age, but Yun'z voice Noto Mamiko was also too old to voice a young girls tone.

Character- Very Good 8: Ok, so in most case we see the harem get into some petty quarrel over a guy, but , here the quarrel over a guy was intense where we see Ning duke out with Yin over Zhao and Cheng being this bitch who falls for Zhao who is in love with Yin, where Cheng becomes this jealous yandere towards Zhao and Ning that she throw both of them back to the same shit that they came from only to take them back to be her playthings.......now this category is very good, cu'z Zhao ends up with Ning in the end.

Enjoyment- Good 7: Since the trill of what Zhao plans to do after he realizes too late as how much of a spoiled brat was Cheng that we the audience wish that she gets to have a taste of the same kind of shit that Zhao experiences when he was about to be executed, but it didn't happen.

Overall- Good 7: It maybe a good anime, but IMAO this should have just been left as a game than being given an anime adaptation.

Merry Christmas everybody.
