I wish I could give this series an 11 out of 10, but that would go beyond logic! Yet, something that is illogical is not necessarily untrue.

This anime is among those very-very few that gave me chills, made me experience sadness, expectation, joy, and left me completely satisfied with the ending. Additionally, it inspired me to actually look into Shakespeare's work to understand the author's motivations. Sure the characters often quote Hamlet and Tempest, which at times may appear farfetched or cheesy, yet it perfectly fits in with the mood and numbs your mind with delight.

And who could have thought that Beethoven's "The Tempest" could ... become a well-fitted theme composition for a modern animated series? That it has, marvellously.

Romance, mystery, deceit, suspicion, magic, apocalypse, Shakespeare, Beethoven, cliffhangers, comedy, tragedy? Zetsuen no Tempest combines all with outmost elegance. I won't say it's perfect, but I'm definitely in love with it.

Seeing the first 3 episodes of this series made me play the actual VN the Anime was based on.

The impressions I got from the first 3 episodes are hard to put into words, since I was truly left with mixed feelings. Yes, it is an Eroge adaptation. Yes, it looks generic. But I just LOVE it. It's funny. It's enjoyable.
In additional, I'm a big fan of Itou Shizuka's (Hinagiku Katsura, Haruka Morishima) voice. And Christiane Friedrich (or Chris for short) seems like a character of perfect fit for her. Just your same, awesome Hinagiku, only with a thing for Justince(!!) and a noble bloodline.
If you'll ... have the hots for Chris, I recommend you play her route in the Visual Novel. You won't be left disappointed. She's all innocent, sexy, just, strong, weak, ridiculous, and funny.

I'd give the series a 10, but since we're just 3 episodes in, I'll stay on the safe side and settle for a 9.
