A character's response to "why are you here" was "because of some circumstances". And that is all you need to know of how Tokyo Ravens treats its story...

I never thought I would ever be driven to leave a review but this show was something else. The first few episodes were so good, but then it got worse, and worse and worse still.
The biggest issue with this show is it tries too hard to surprise viewers. Character motivations switch out of nowhere, random nonsense happens that adds nothing to the story. When characters in the show ask "what is going on?" and the response ... is constantly along the line of "because reasons" or simply "forget about it" or "I'll tell you later". Simply omitting important information isn't how you build suspense, it doesn't make you a smart show. It is just infuriating
Another issue, the tone changes so drastically it'll give you whiplash. I enjoyed the comedic undertones of certain scenes but when the characters don't react in a believable way it becomes silly.
Oh you just got done randomly sending your spirit outside your body for the first time, copying complicated spells you've seen done once by 3 of the 12 strongest people in your world? You've just killed a sadistic familiar and giant monsters trying to eat you? Well it's definitely time to go apologize to a friend for a lie...
