Every 30 years, a new princess is chosen from the Hime family to serve the Hayagami. The time has come again, but over these past years, records state not a single female has been born, save for one, the 15 year old Arata. The only problem is, Arata is actually a male! Forced to disguise himself and take the place of the princess candidate until a formal one can be found, he attends the festival only to witness the current princess, Kokuri-hime, murdered, and his own life is forfeit as well, by the hands of the princess' personal guard, the 12 Shinshou. As he runs for his life, Kannagi of the 12 convinces everyone that Arata is the one who has murdered the princess instead, and now everyone in the Imperial Court is after his head!

If you can put up with the main character, it's not so bad. Their reasons for their angst is incredibly lame but what can you do. The fights are fairly interesting and there's a good bit of diversity here. Great way to kill some time.

Nothing new, nothing special. Just another "meh" anime, which got worse towards the end.

A very good series about friendship, betrayal, with action, adventure, fantasy, magic and a little bit of romance. I will wait for the 2 season to see what happens next ;-)

I saw a lot of negative reviews about this anime saying it was nothing special so I almost didn't watch it.
But I am so glad that I did! The art and animations were amazing. Beautifully drawn.
As someone who has been bullied in school I related strongly to Arata his pain.
It was such a nice escape but I was very sad to read that this anime was never finished.
Therefor prepare for a very open ending and fingers crossed that one day they might pick this back up.
It's a wonderful story, nice action scenes and very loving characters even if it's not finished it's worth the watch alone for the art and animation.

Tags ?

add/edit tags
· endingThis is a container tag to house meta-like tags relating to how endings of anime play out.
· · open-endedThe ending of this anime is left to the viewer`s imagination. There are no clear hints at a definite story outcome, several possibilities are presented without closure, or the story ends suddenly without explanation. There may also be room for a sequel. weightless
· plot continuityConsistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the viewer. A single linear focused plot is highly continuous. A truly random plot is highly discontinuous. **+
· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. +
· · calling your attacksIf you can do something more impressive than just throw a punch, your attack(s) must have an equally impressive name. More than that, you have to call it out as you launch the attack. It doesn`t matter if it`s a martial arts move, a magical spell or your secret superweapon, if you can`t say its name, it just isn`t nearly as cool or effective. weightless
· · swordplayThe act or art of using a sword or similar weapon skillfully. +
· adventureAdventures are exciting stories, designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters. Adventure films are often, but not always, set in an historical period. *
· · gotta catch them allA typical plot or sub-plot for many shows. Either the cast or somebody else, that being often the main antagonist, embarks on a quest to collect things, shiny things. weightless
· angstA feeling of general discomfort and uneasiness is present due to either trivial or more serious reasons, often accompanied by depression. Warning: may contain copious amounts of brooding and sighing. Etymology: "Angst" is a German word meaning fear or anxiety. *+
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes. **+
· · · magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws. *+
· super powerBe it an ancient Greek Heracles, a cybernetic muscle-man, or a fourteen year-old girl in a mini-skirted sailor suit. As long as they have super powers, they`re in the show.
· · emotions awaken superpowersDuring an extreme emotional state — rage, love, hate, angst, sadness, compassion — something inside the character will "click" that will increase greatly his/her power or a new superpower awakes, that surpasses anything achieved by him/her until then. weightless
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · wardrobe limited to school uniformThe main characters only wear school uniforms, even though other clothes would be more appropriate. Example: Kagome in Inu Yasha, wears her uniform in Inu Yasha`s world, although she is shown to own other clothes at home. weightless
· TO BE MOVED TO CHARACTERTags under this parent tag are going to be moved to character tags and removed from the anime they`re currently assigned to. They will be blocked from the anime system once that move is complete. Please help with that job if you know what characters they should be assigned to.
· · inter-dimensional travelInter-dimensional travel is the ability to move between dimensions. It is often also explained as moving between dimensional planes. Holders of this ability are generally called sliders. weightless
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. *+
· · · AsiaAsia is Earth`s largest and most populous continent. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. *+
· · · · JapanJapan is a sovereign island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest. *+
· · fictional locationA fictional location is run by different rules than your common and ordinary world: fictional worlds, computer-generated worlds, fantasy worlds, magical worlds, parallel worlds accessible through portals, etc. A fantasy world typically involves magic or magical abilities, and/or a medieval theme. A world that generally shares the characteristics of, and/or is generally indistinguishable from the real world (bar research on a "more than cursory" level), would NOT be considered a fictional world. ***
· · · parallel worldParallel world, parallel universe, or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. A fictional world can just as well have an alternative reality, it doesn`t need to be our reality. To put it more simply, this category is to show if more than 1 world/universe/reality is present in the anime. Multiple timelines of the same world/universe/reality are NOT considered parallel worlds. ***
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · presentSomewhere between past and future. ***
· shounenIn the context of manga and associated media, shounen, literally meaning "youth" and often also specifically "boy", refers to a male audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. weightless
· betrayalFriends become enemies. Strong bonds of trust receive violations of confidence while friendships are faithlessly given up or revealed to have been false from the start. weightless
· bullyingBullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. One who engages in bullying is known as a bully. weightless
· friendshipThe feeling of trust, kindness, and friendship between a group of high school students for example, is a central theme of this anime. *
· saving the worldWhile villains love to take over the world or cause the end of the world as we know it, the heroes are most likely motivated by the polar opposite, saving the world. A fairly simple plot/motivation related to for great justice and what not, this trope is pretty broad and very common for many stories not focused on character interaction only. weightless
· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. +
· · high schoolA secondary school that usually contains grades 10 through 12 in Japan, or 9 through 12 in America. +
· sportsSports anime revolves around a recreational physical activity or skill. In addition they often adhere to certain genre conventions, the emphasis on training and practice in preparation for competition, characters desire for self improvement, and pursuit of a specific goal. *
· · track and fieldA collection of sports events that involve running, throwing, and jumping. *
no ending segmentAn episode with no ending segment lacks an ending credits segment, commonly known as ED. This tag only applies to anime that ordinarily contain an ED; do not apply to anime that ordinarily do not have an ED. This means that, instead of an ending segment showing up, the main body of the episode plays while the credits show up on the screen, or there aren`t ending credits to begin with; whether or not the song plays in the ED is not relevant for this tag. The inverse case is no opening segment. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 12

add/edit tags

abilitiesAbilities are skills or competences that have applicability in some sort of activity.

healing (1)Healing is the power to restore biotic organisms to their optimal health.running (1)no description set

accessoriesAccessories are objects characters use or sometimes simply carry around.

glasses (2)Glasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags.sword (3)A sword is a long, edged piece of metal, used as a cutting, thrusting, and clubbing weapon in many civilizations throughout the world. It fundamentally consists of a blade and a hilt, typically with one or two edges for striking and cutting, and a point for thrusting.

clothingClothing is fiber and textile material worn on the body.

sandals (1)A shoe with open-work upper or no upper, fastened with straps.school uniform (1)A type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety.

fashion accessoriesno description set

bracelet (1)A bracelet is an article of jewellery which is worn around the wrist, forearm or ankle. Bracelets can be manufactured from leather, cloth, hemp, plastic or metal, and sometimes contain rocks, wood, and/or shells.earring (3)An earring is a piece of jewellery attached to the ear via a piercing in the earlobe or another external part of the ear (except in the case of clip earrings, which clip onto the lobe). Earrings are worn by both sexes, although more common among women, and have been used by different civilizations in different times.hairband (1)A hairband is a flexible plastic or metal band or strip of cloth worn over the top of the head to hold the hair back and maintain a certain hairstyle. A hairband that includes ribbons or has bows along its length should be also tagged hair ribbon. For a similar band worn across the forehead primarily for athletic purposes, see sweatband.hairpin (5)no description setpendant (1)A pendant is an ornament allowed to hang free from the neck, usually as a necklace. Mostly worn for decorative purposes, sometimes interrelated with a symbolic meaning.ring (1)A ring is a circular ornament. Strictly speaking, a normal ring is worn around the finger, and the term "ring" alone normally refers to that type. Rings are usually in metal, but they can be of a wide range of materials, and they may include a gem or stone. Usages and symbolism for rings vary immensely, with different forms of rings meaning to display things ranging from profession or degree to espousal to the power to rule all other rings of power.

fetish appealsno description set

bishounen (1)A bishounen is a Japanese term literally meaning "beautiful youth (boy)" and describes an aesthetic that can be found in disparate areas in East Asia: a young man of effeminate beauty. While the beauty transcends gender, the character clearly has a male body; their gender is not ambiguous and there the character is not androgynous.cleavage (1)A cleavage is the partial, or sometimes full, exposure of the separation between a woman`s breasts.trap (1)A trap is a plot device where a male character is mistaken for a female, with the intention of sexually deceiving other characters and/or the viewer. This behavior does not need to be intentional by the male (it is often not intentional) or continually maintained by the male, but the occurrence is common enough to deserve this fetish-specific tag.

looksThe looks are a person`s physical appearance. They are commonly used to describe people. Specific parts of one`s looks are most often referred to when especially pleasing or attractive, and sometimes also when particularly jarring.

beard (1)A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin, upper lip, cheeks, and neck of human beings.black hair (1)The character has black hair.blue eyes (1)This character has blue-colored eyes.brown hair (2)The character has brown hair.goatee (1)A goatee is a style of facial hair sporting hair on the chin but not the cheeks. A goatee can coexist with sideburns so long as they do not connect; should the sideburns be connected from side-to-side via the goatee, they would cease to exist individually and form a single beard instead. A goatee connected with the moustache is a circle beard.green eyes (1)The character has green eyes.long hair (1)Long hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair.moustache (2)A moustache is facial hair grown on the upper lip.muscular (2)no description setpregnant (1)This tag should only be added to characters who physically look pregnant, meaning that showing positive pregnancy test results, talking about being pregnant or doctor`s report do not count. If a character gets pregnant, and is shown as such, only later on in the story (typically at the end), then the tag should be marked as spoiler for that character. Not to be confused with stomach bulge or stomach stretch.purple hair (1)This character`s hair is colored somewhere between red and blue.twintails (1)Twintails are type of hairstyle where the hair is gathered into two "tails" on either side of the head. Twintails may also include a pair hair buns, one bun at the base of each tail.

princess (1)no description set

traitsTraits are characteristics, habits, or trends that can be associated to and may be used to identify individuals.

emotionally stunted (1)An emotionally stunted person has a crippled ability to feel or express emotions. That may range from a somewhat decreased ability to express one`s feelings to not having emotions at all. The kuudere archetype draws heavily from this characteristic. This personality trait may be a symptom of a medical condition such as autism or post-traumatic stress disorder. This is not to be confused with a deadpan person, who deliberately suppresses the expression of their emotions.
