A breath of fresh air.
I really liked the story and it kept the mysterious and somehow atrocious atmosphere going right to the end. It reminded me of Elfen Lied at times. But. Because of that last ep was a bit of a bummer. Still... it was good.
It's amazing that while not leaving the fantasy and /cute girls/ genre it focused a lot on family relations(and kinda social relations in general). Grandads rule!
Some might not be so fond of the animation style, but I assure you the backgrounds are of good quality.
I looked forward to fight scenes, but in the second half of the anime they weren't "the best". Maybe fight scenes are not its profile. And oh well, you can't have everything in one anime!
I give it a must see, regardless of small things I didn't like.

This series is broken down into a few parts: first was dark and serious, second was cutesy slice of life and third was a mini witch arc. Characters were good and overall enjoyment is decent, but the episode pacing is a bit inconsistent.

This was a cute sweet story, with some dark elements at the beginning and everyday life as it continued, with morals interspersed through each episode and a nice ending.

This series is kinda divided in two parts: The first part is very dark and exciting and you get to know Sana and how she meets Zouroku which is really adorable. After the first part it just gets relaxing about the everyday life and mostly about the people Sana interacts with.

This is overall an adorable show. The plot feels a little wonky, but that is primarily because of the way the shows starts. While the first few episodes promises something dark it turns into something a lot lighter. Ultimately it's a story about Sana and how she fits into the world without asking to many questions of where she comes from or how the rest of the world works.

While watching this show, it felt a bit like a train wreck. Elfen Lied for the gradeschooler or something. But by the time the last ep finished, I realized that I had actually watched a relatively good, really sweet warm-fuzzy story. In truth, though the main character's a little girl, this is basically a story (with the exception of one episode...) that is appropriate for all ages, even grumpy old men.

it was ok not the best not the lamest, i really like how the character was designed but I have a feeling if this was more like a school/comedy type of anime it would have been pretty good. but overall the anime is quite ''weird'' in some way with girl and power and alice dream leaving us confuse about what is gonna happen in the future would recommend for people who have time to spare

female, , blue hairThe character has blue hair., drill hairAn easy way to tell if a female character in Japanese media is of high social standing is to not look for a crown or an Ermine Cape, but to look at the front of her head.
