When my friend suggested to watch this anime I was kind of sceptical - and I don't know why - however in the end I was even amazed, how much great ideas this anime threw at me, which I could use as an inspiration for my own stories.

Yes, the story itself of this anime isn't anything worth mentioning. Everything is as described in a summary and nothing particular doesn't come back after you have watched it - slow, not particularly fabulous aftertaste. But there was something more to it, what dragged me back wanting more - some kind of enchantment!

Characters are done quite good. Everyone ... had their own background with it's own story of how they ended up playing the game, why should or shouldn't they fight for survival etc. I particularly liked a minute long period at the very beginning when anime showed the real thing behind every character, when woman characters showed that in real life they are men and their description didn't fit the made up look, however I felt a need for such reality more often as further on in the anime it didn't kicked back anymore - neither the same idea, nor other kind, which can be seen in real life!

Although season is 25 episodes long, it lacked sustainability - with this I mean it didn't came up with action as often as I felt the need for it. Overall plot moves on quite slow although months passed by rather fast without actually showing what have happened between them as nothing particular had changed during that time.

I would re-watch it just for the warm family-type feeling the middle of the season gives and last few episodes for the shivers conclusion brings, although I anticipated most of the twists in advance. But overall enjoyment I got from this anime was enough to persuade me to look for another season.

I imagined this plot will be a little bit different than it turned out to be however I wasn't disappointed by that.

Characters were greatly thought through as they were with their own nice personalities which didn't show any loose points in their stories - except for the monk Bou whose motivation behind his actions wasn't quite understandable to me.
I instantly became very fond of San (aka Princess Mononoke) especially at the very beginning when she looked all wild and bloody, and fierce.

Overall I really enjoyed watching this anime as I felt like it came to me at the right point of my life events ... in order to inspire me and give me strength to move on with few things I was planning for a long time, but haven't had the gut to actually start something.

It is very enjoying to watch this anime - it is funny as hell. From this anime I started to want to be a really nice woman with great man and supreme wedding party. I think that all girls need to know how it is to want this kind of dream because those who forget to dream about happy family life never ends with such one.
Great story about dreams, hope, friendship and love which goes through time and space. In some creepy way - very beautiful.

There isn't much to see just:
1)must see; 2) must see; 3)must enjoy ^_^
Then I was a teenager I used to watch this and imagined that I am that brave, strong, lissome girl. I knew all phrases when she is transforming and that was my inducement to be better and alarm-clock which woke me up every morning with smile, bravery and impulse to continue what I have started.
Story is about friendship which could be very mystical and disloyal, about love which can be beautiful but in the same made-up, bet from the start till beginning it always is truthful to yourself which teaches us to love ... ourselves too. Great!

Ou, I was a teenager when I started to watch and be a fan of this anime. We were a group of fans which imagined that we are SailorMoon or SailorMars and so. We watched these episodes and cried with characters etc. That was real fun.
Now I think this is one of the precious animes I have ever seen because it is funny un childish in its sort kind of way, it is romantic and a little bit nude but isn't too pervert to show to children, it shows different kind of situations that could happen in real life too (mostly metaphorical of course) and ... it shows that bravery and good friends are most valuable think in world.
It is good anime because of these situations which teaches us to be brave and never give up. At least from this anime I learned that and now I never give up and continuing to be brave when it is needed.
