Summary: Amazing
Comment: First of about the Graphics the art was awesome drawn pretty well. I like the story too (of course i do i like this kind of genre). Anyways theirs a foreshadowing on the last episode so for those of you who got to loved this series don't be so disappointed about it, maybe in a few years they'll approved to make the rest of the story an anime(show). Its a wort buying, the show can make u laugh and at the end, it can make you cry.

Summary: Sweeeeet....
Comment: Quite a good series if I may say myself. A definite must have for fans of the manga or just fans of anime in general. It uses a pretty standard storyline but the execution is impeccable. It only gets 4 stars because I wish it was longer than it is.

Summary: Fun anime ( the manga is even better!)
Comment: Tactics is a fun series with interesting characters (although they're even more fun in the manga- the TACTICS are more obvious there as Kantaro is much more devious). Fantasy, magic, mystery, supernatural events, fiesty characters, humor, drama & sadness(there are some heavy issues here & there) all tied up in a well-illustrated package. The mood is beautifully set with particularly well done backgrounds.

Summary: Misnamed but still good anime
Comment: A good series but one that's best watched twice to get the setting. Or keep in mind that despite the spirits, demons and ghosts, it's actually set in turn-of-the-century (post Meiji) era. Early episodes do not seem to have a set story line, but set up the running story later. Nicely, the apparent main story line is only a distraction. It's definitely a people oriented story.

Summary: I was expecting more
Comment: The high points of this series for me were the visuals and the story's setting. I thought it was decently animated but visually the colors and backgrounds were detailed and very pretty. I particularly thought the setting which portrayed a Japan that was slowly changing based on the influence of Western thought and Western practice making it's way in was very unique and special.
The story itself started off great. I loved the set up and the potential it had. Initially the movement of the story was good and I enjoyed watching stand alone stories as well as watching the progressive storyline develop in the background. I was surprised when the series ended so abruptly - bringing the progressive storyline to a peak and wrapping it all up in two episodes. Rather than a gradual peak and denouement, it was suddenly over before it even began. It was pretty jarring. Also, the English dub is pretty bad - very over-acted -so I'd skip that altogether. There is definitely some "boy love" in this series - although nothing graphic, the two main characters express feelings in a way that is construed as more than just friendship.
In any case, this was an enjoyable and unique series to watch, but it left much to be desired.
