Episode review: Hatenkou Yugi 1

 Hatenkou Yugi

A girl Rahzel is kicked out of her home by her dad in order to see the world. Rahzel is not impressed the least and starts out her journey. Soon she meets Alzeido in a back alley when he tries to rob someone. She states that she will make Alzeido’s life interesting. Since Rahzel disapproves that Alzeido is stealing from others, they are taking on a job as spirit hunters from the richest man in town.

Later it seems that the spirit was waiting for that same guy for twenty years because he made a promise to her that he didn’t intend to keep. After some quarrelling between the spirit and the hunters, they agreed they would get back at the land lord together by pulling him a prank to scare him. After this succeeds the spirit travels on to the afterlife.

I have to say that this anime looks interesting. There is plenty of action and original ways to solve the problems the characters come across. There are hints to painful pasts of the main characters. The animation of the series is also very fitting with deep blues and purples as main colors and beautiful scenes where magic is used. The opening theme I find very catching. So this one might actually stay on my watch list if it continues being interesting like now.
