Review of La storia della Arcana Famiglia

SOMEWHAT SPOILER!! ENDING. Alright, lets start out with the background. The anime is based off of a family that uses powers given to them basically from Taro cards. Each card gives the person a different power with a price, each card chooses the person basically, and each cards power is based on the users emotions. I didn't really like this anime very much, it was hard for me to really tell who the central character was because it jumps around a lot without giving much character development. The fight scenes themselves were good in a technical sense but they reused the same scene each time the cameraflipped back to the fight like the moves were on loop. Also it seemed a lot more that they only used the fighting scenes to be able to let their characters say a lot in one period of time rather than the person just standing there talking.

The storyline is also terrible, because the beginning of the show is exactly the same as the end of the show with, in my opinion, nothing really gained or lost. The shows subtitles also use some Italian words, like the Italian word for Lemonade, Japanese, and Taro, because it was basically like they were speaking Japanese but would throw in an Italian word every once in a while so that was odd.

Honestly I wouldn't recommend this one, but that's just me. Some people may like it more, but I found that there wasn't very much explanation to anything really and they were just trying to get the show done rather than have a very good show.
