Harukanaru Toki takes place in a capital called Kyou - it is of another dimension and 3 teenagers from the present are summoned there. One of them is a girl named Akane who is the dragon priestess and basically the storyline focuses on her fighting the demons with the aid of the Hachiyou - 8 sworn protectors of the priestess - to save the world. I have to admit, I started watching this because I loved Saiunkoku Monogatari and someone said that this one was similar. At first, the story wasn\'t that engaging and seemed to be a hodgepodge of different anime stories, charactersand plots. However, the music is absolutely amazing so I kept on watching and AM I GLAD THAT I DID.

As the story progresses and characters are discovered, it becomes absolutely engaging. The initial efforts to discover the Hachiyou was good but the development of the Hachiyou - heaven and earth of the four divinations - is super fantastic. The anime slowly and surely builds up momentum. If you can hold yourself through the first couple episodes, it will definitely be worth it!!
