The Cosmopolitan Prayers Review

This one has a little bit of a complex history.

Before I dive into the plot, this anime is a spinoff from another franchise.
The anime Hit o Nerae, is about a woman trying to make her name in the movie making business hoping to be taken seriously as an adult but ends up directing a hero show instead of a detective series, another spinoff called Love Love features a romance between the writer and one of the actresses during production of said hero show which is called Cosmopolitan Prayers or Cosprayers for short and this is the anime I'm reviewing.
Koto is just a normal schoolgirl who likes Cosplaying but a bit of play acting as a miko transports her to another world, now chosen as Miko Reiya, she along with international themed Miko from European, Indian, Native American, Arabian and Chinese cultures must destroy the black towers to resurrect amaterasu, but there may be more at stake than they realise when the enemy captures their mentor.
The concept is amazing, it feels like this is what an all girls Shaman King would be like, but the execution is terrible.
First off, Scarlet is a total bitch, secondly the other girls really don't get enough screentime and they have quirky personalities to boot that really wastes their potential, thirdly the twists are poorly executed and make the characters look really stupid, and finally it squeezes everything into and absurdly short running time of eight half size episodes, there are dvd extras that expand on some episodes but unless someone has ripped them, I ain't tracking that down, not worth it.
If there was a dub it would irritate me more especially Scarlet barely being torable in Japanese.
Final Verdict: A great idea with terrible execution spunoff from a franchise that isn't even the same genre, really not good.
