Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou (2013)
幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽

Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou

the story took place in a world where it was ruled by 2 tarot cards, the Diablos Tarot and the Elemental Tarot. Diablos Tarot was the tarot of the devil, who feasted on human souls and used the nourishment to bring pain and suffering. Elemental Tarot drew its energy from the nature to fight against the Diablos Tarot. girls from different bloodlines were chosen to wield the Elemental Tarot, defending the good against the bad to maintain the balance of the world.

despite being a magical-girl series, the series was somewhat bold and different, darker even, which made it even more attractive in comparison to the pink, fluffy type. there were plenty of gruesome fights, welcoming blood shed throughout the series. Akari was the latest tarot card to awake, also the latest asset for the team. due to some special circumstances, she had the ability to hear the daemonia's voices, making her sometime isolated from the team, as others found hearing those voices would create obstacles while confronting the daemonia. the plot introduced plenty for its main characters - Akari, Ginka, Luna, and Seira. the fights and story-telling was balanced, giving out impressions on how they continued living after all the hardships. being similar yet so different from Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011) made the series even more interesting to catch.
