CHRACTERS.
Kyouta. He is a young man who dreams of becoming a popular idol. He starts to notice some strange things around him and sees magical girls fighting in the sky. He learns that he has a power to and that he is a mindbreaker.
Yoriko. She has been Kyota's friend for years and loves his singing very much. She is also afraid of her power and the fate people try to pin on her.
Shingo/Junichi. These are the other bandmembers in Kyouka's band.
Mindbreakers. Mindbreakers are humans who have the ability to control the magical girls. Each mindbreaker has their own method of releasing the power but most if not all want to controll them for the power it gives them.
Abuto. A mindbreaker who is after Yoriko because of her power. Controling her will give him immense power. He uses his position as manager of a talent agency to lure girls to him.
Kanae. One of the magical girls, a Darklore, who is under Abuto's control. She is intensly jelous of Yoriko because Abuto focuses his attention on Yoriko instead on her.
ART & MUSIC.
Both the art (5/5) and music (5/5) are excellent. Music plays a major factor in this anime as a large part revolves around Kyouta and his band. The music is pretty good and i'm surprised to say that i liked most of the songs.
VOICE ACTING
The Japanese acting is great as usual (5/5). I didn't see the English dub so i don't know how good or bad it is.
Personal note. I liked this anime a lot. It would have been usefull if they explained the situation between the factions a bit more than they did but this is not a necessity. The story is very good and the music is excellent.
If you have any questions please let me know. Also tips and comments about how i can make this sort of blog better are more than welcome.
