Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora is a anime you should really watch if you like romance/fantasy animes.

ABOUT THE STORY

The story is pretty easy to follow but still you can't guess the next turn. It starts with a girl who doen't really know herself. She has a memory what she treasures. The story is actually about the girl who is trying to find herself, so that leads to that that it's easy to identify to the main charecter. The storys level/rank doesn't drop thanks to the short option of 12 ep. I really have to give credit to the writer because the turns are so unexpected but still logic. But the story has some strange points that are hard to understand or they are just unlogical. Maybe thats the idea but I can't give it full ten points.

THE ANIMATION

I don't really know what to say about the animation... The style was quite clean and easy to eye, but it still had nice little details. Sometimes the charecters looked wierd and the positions were a bit odd. The battle scenes were ok, the annoying part was that they often were toneless. I mean that when you had seen the first fight you knew what will come of the rest. But I can somehow live with that because the battles aren't the main thing. I really liked the way they did the backgrounds because they had little details but they didn't take all the attention. The "robots" or what you wan't to call them were nicely done and clear. Somehow they just always reminded me about transformers.

SOUND

I gave 8 and 4 because I compared the english dub and the original japanese. I gave the japanese one an 8 because some of the charecter voises suited pretty well, but many of the female voices were a little annoying and high-pitchead. The male voices were good and the bakcground sounds were ok. Sometimes the musics just didn't suit or they changet in the middle of the scene disturbing the mood and lines. The sounds were quite good.

Then the dub......I really don't have anything good to say. The voices didn't suit the charecters and so.

CHARECTERS

The charecter were nicely personalized and you didn't get the feeling "oh i've already seen this". The weren't too many of the important gyus, but all didn't spin aroun the two mains. It was a big plus that there weren't this miss or mister perfetios in the charecter gorup. Many animes fall for the mains are/or become perfect. It almost happend but there was a last minute save just before the end. It was nice tha all the charecter had their own problems what they tried to solve. It was nice that the were so many diffrent personalitys and relationships. I mean that it's nice that all aren't just deep romantic ones and all the charecter didn't even find their love yet. I'm really pleased with the charecters.

In the end I can say that this one was one of the best animes I have wached so far. I recommend this to people who like romance, drama, angel, fantasy, pretty fast-pased animes or any of those. I loved it.
