The story centers of our main hero named Tsuchimikado Harutora who has a bloodline of Tsuchimikado branch family (as an Onmyouji--specialist—practitioner of magic). Despite of the family blood flows through his veins, he doesn't have much supranatural skills to use and by that fact he doesn't have enough confident also encouragement to be a Shaman. It's opposite with the daughter of Tsuchimikado main family, Tsuchimikado Natsume. She is so skillful like the blessed onmyouji from the family and the only successor.
These two were childhood friend, separated because of Natsume's moving. And in this present they meet again, along with few circumstances, Harutora decided to be a Shaman, moves to Natsume's school to train and mastering his skill after become Natsume's shikigami. By the decision Harutora made and moving to this school, one by one issues disclosed and be a scourge which isn't possible to be undone. It is so surprising so it is not just pump your blood to the head just for thinking or guessing what will happen but also we can also feel our heartbeat faster by watching the fascinating show.
Whether you're the viewer to enjoy a show emotionally or just by the visualization, it won't be a matter since Tokyo Ravens plot somehow a bit drama here can stir your spirit undoubtedly and the animation of its fight using supernatural power is freaking good. The visuals, including the art, details, animation and character designs are well-defined. The colour is not too sharp or too blurry, the fighting scenes are fine with the standout effect and issues narrated nicely.
I would say the brilliant ideas of story and the subtle shift of each conflicts are the central aspects which make the show and its characters fascinating. By the developed core of plot, the characters following it also be more creditable. Maybe some of you had watched it, or looked for the information of the series which has quite amount of characters. Yes indeed, but no worries, because every characters fill their role precisely and related to each others too. Each of them hold their own surprises secretly.
The theme songs are good~ The steady beat for OP themes; "X-encounter" by Maon Kurosaki and "~Outgrow~" by Gero. The 1st ED theme is sweet, so melodious and this one is my favorite, sung by Yoshino Nanjo "Kimi ga Emu Yuugure (君が笑む夕暮れ)". The 2nd theme song is sung by Mami Kawada "Break a spell" has a unique sense with electronic musical instruments.
Pros:
- Surprising, marvelous events and story. When the 1st half elaborates the background and characters one by one, and the 2nd half gently enters the critical periods of plot
- Nice visual & insert songs
- Very good character designs and development
