However, when they decide to use CG for familiars in fight scenes, things break down. Everything is fluid and the varied locations display a wide array of colors and artstyles. The character designs are good, and the non CG action scenes are well done. Rarely were there moments that left me shaking my head in disappointment.įor the most part, the art in this show is great.

Yes, the overall story of a boy who gains powers teams up with his classmates to stop the bad guys has been told many times before, but the execution and care put into it all kept me caring from start to finish. The lore of the world of Tokyo Ravens is also rich and actually significant when it comes to later events in the story. The background of the setting is also very well realized and had me captivated with its mechanics. The pacing of Tokyo Ravens is nearly flawless in my opinion, giving proper amount of air time to the intro, the time at school, and the more climactic parts at the end. plot twists, but the solid pacing and backstories of the characters and the setting. Where Tokyo Ravens' story shines isn't through it's rather generic premise or predictable However, Tokyo Ravens is without a doubt a very enjoyable show.

In fact, it was pretty a pretty generic fantasy action anime with romance elements which is why I withhold too high of a score. Tokyo Ravens wasn't groundbreaking, memorable, or brilliant. But this couldn't be further from the truth. Looking at my 6 score for this show, many of you may think I didn't think the show was good. Sometimes shows come around that are completely generic and average on paper, but are unusually fun to watch. But when a prominent member of the Onmyou Agency attempts to recreate the same experiment which led to Japan's downfall, he decides to make good on his word and fight by Natsume's side. Despite an old promise to protect Natsume, the heir of the Tsuchimikado's main family and Yakou's supposed reincarnation, as her familiar, Harutora has no talent and chooses to live a normal life instead. However, not everyone is able to utilize the magic, as is the case with Harutora, a member of the Tsuchimikado's branch family.

Now, Onmyoudou has become far more modern, simplified, and refined for use in a wide variety of applications such as medicine and technology. As a result of this mishap, the Onmyou Agency was established in order to exorcise further spiritual disasters and combat the demons that would make their way into the world. But Japan was quickly defeated after the revered onmyouji Yakou Tsuchimikado caused the 'Great Spiritual Disaster,' an event which plagues Tokyo to this very day. Onmyoudou magic was once a powerful technique used by the Japanese during the second World War in order for them to gain the upper hand and establish their nation as a formidable force.
