<her tarot cards faggotry
<her pendulum faggetry
<male lead looks like a backstreet boy / K Pop singer
<male lead behaves like sasuke from naruto
<female lead is passive most of the time
To me this looks like a complete clusterfuck of an anime show.
It seems like they did not know what their desired target demographic was
They make a show for the Shonen demographic but put in some girl as main character. Not only that, she is passive, believes in pendulums and tarot card shit. otherwise she is also rather annoying most of the time. The male lead we get does not look manly at all but more like a backstreet boy.
I feel like this show would have been more interesting with the blonde haired knight and that bull dyke rival of his as the leading characters.
Like they started a shonen show and it ended up being tailored towards the shojo demographic. However, I do admit that it has a unique touch and style.
