STORY.
The world used to be a peaceful place that was governed by the five geniuses. But now the land is torn apart by wars and the land cries out for a savior. As things start to heat up once again some people will stop at nothing to get more power. They even start to create chimera's again and are collecting people from all over the world. The only thing that is in their path is a young man called Arc. Will he be able to stop them and restore peace to the land?
CHRACTERS.
Arc. A very powerful young man who can control the wind. He collected a number of special people like himself and he dedicated his life to stopping people who abuse others.
Liisa. Like Yeaiko she was taken from her village because of her special ability. Just what this ability is is unclear but it does allow her to comunicate with animals. She is very kind and gentle.
Gulaibo. A city official who wields a lot of power. Although he appears loyal it is clear that he has a agenda of his own.
Yeaiko. After his vilage was destroyed he was saved by Xiu who trained him as a Hunter. He has the ability to call fire and use it as a deadly weapon. His goal in live is a capture Arc who he believes is responsible for the destruction of his village.
Xiu. A very skilled Hunter and Yeaiko's mentor. He found Yeaiko in the desert 5 years before and decided to take him with him.
Chimera. Although they look like men and may have been human once they are now monsters. Different chimera have different powers but all are very powerful.
ART & MUSIC.
Both the art (4/5) and music (4/5) are excellent.
VOICE ACTING
The Japanese acting is great as usual (5/5). I didn't watch the English dub so i have no clue how good or how bad it was.
Personal note. What to say about this one? Perhaps it is best said this way. I have a excellent memory for some things. Especially books and anime's i can often remember if not perfectly than at least what it was about. This one though.....complete blank, i just can't remember what it was about. Some charecters stuck around but even they are very unclear. This doesn't mean that it is a bad anime but just that it is either very average or not very memorable. If you do know this anime better than me feel free to post your personal comment. The story focuses around Yeaiko at first and this doesn't really change as the story progresses and this is rather ashame as the almost every side character is either more interesting or more fun to watch.
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.
