About
You may enjoy this if you like folklore-heavy fantasy adventures with quirky creatures and a coming-of-age quest, somewhere between InuYasha the Movie 2 and Fairy Tail: The Phoenix Priestess; Not for you if you want a tighter story or a more mature lead.
Pros: vivid creature designs; colorful mythology; imaginative fantasy world | Cons: weak familiar story; annoying young lead; uneven pacing
