Yozakura Quartet

Yozakura Quartet was honestly just a venture of boredom. I thought, quite honestly, that from the description I was going to watch about three episodes and then just quite because it sounded awful... or at least not good. However, I'm gonna say that if you haven't at least considered this... you're missing out. There are four main characters as the name might suggest, but there are some main/supporting characters not counted and theoretically there are five or six people... not four... kind of a misnomer.

Anyways, back to point. It takes place in a town that resides as a haven for yokai and humans to coexist and the quartet are in essence peace keepers. The mayor of the town is a dragon lance wielder and people think she's too young to do an adequate job. She wears this really nifty scarf that is lengthy and if she doesn't wear it... it affects her balance since she's worn it so long.

Then the male member of the quartet is a sort of exorcist who to maintain the balance repels bad yokai to some parallel area that is akin to a prison. He's coined by the description as powerless or useless in a comparative sort to all the other characters. He's more of the empathetic character than useless.

The conjurer is a half-yokai who had to overcome a rush of power and the allure of the powers to gain control of herself. Now she's a summoner, tending to summon machine guns. She's quite likely my favorite character because I like her abilities.

Then there's the mind reader or something... her ears (cat ears) are highly sensitive and she can sense/find people by judging some magnetic charge. She's the younger sister of the main protagonist.

The show was a huge/great elation in regards to how lame I thought it would be. The story was pretty stock, but the animation and some of the circumstances were quite exciting. I liked the character development... overall I recommend finding it and watching it... ALL IN ONE DAY!!! The overall imagery is delicious. Go watch it now.
