Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars

Taff-fi★ 3

In terms of the story I think its a pretty poorly written mess of "hey, I'm sure this will make sense in a few episodes..." Nothing ever really comes together in a way that makes sense The antagonists motivations are never explained. Only a couple characters get any sort of actual development and all the others are basically just there for cute loli scenes. The animation is okay at best and early two-thousands at worst. The OP is pretty good but a majority of the soundtrack sounds pretty generic and OH MY GAWD, the sound effects are so terrible! They use the same "wind against the microphone" soundeffect for so many things in the action scenes! Overall I enjoyed the short bursts of action scenes here and there but I certainly wouldn't recommend it or ever watch it again for that matter. Basically just kind of boring.

Another series I started wacthing because the OP was supposed to be great. And it´s no joke, the OP "Divine Spell", the ED "Patria" and the OST (although there was just one good song) were absolutely incredible. They were hiden gems coming from an unknown series. But now I know why it remains unknown, and it´s for society´s good. It´s no surprise MAL says "Broadcast was interrupted at Episode 4 because of the series´ quality", even though it was fully broadcasted then. Strangely, up to Episode 4, it seemed to actually be a great series. But what happened after that can only be described as oneword: "Incoherent". History did never make sense, most battles were pointless and the final battle, apart from being a completely shameless Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann copy (they suddenly used DRILLS and copied the last Simon scene, come on), had absolutely no sense and the MCs suddenly got a massive buff, revived from death and became almost inmortal (basically Kirito with mechas) Animation was actually fine. Among with the sound, those were the greatest part of the series. Visual effects were actually great, and if the story would have been good, they would have been even better. Almost every character was cardboard. Ingrid and Kei? Cold and pointless. Sara and Tia? Charming but still pointless. Rena and... whatever that Rena with brown hair was? No sense and pointless. This was a clear and solid 1. But you know why this section actually has a 6? Because of the MC, Yui. She was literally the only reason I kept watching this. If you enter my profile or read my other reviews, you may know I like those sweet/deredere characters that make everyone´s day happy. And Yui? Well, she was on my profile´s top characters for like a week (had to change to Shouko from Koe no Katachi, sorry). Cute, sweet, happy, charming, beautiful, strong, determinated, caring and pure. She had everything I like or I would like to have in a person near me. I´m sorry for her because of the dull plot she was given. I somehow enjoyed this, and that´s why this doesn´t go to a 4. But it was so close. Like a 4.25 or 4.50. I have seen worse series and less enjoyable series, but this one is still down there fighting for relegation in the last fixtures. Story: 3.5/10 Art: 7.5/10 Sound: 8/10 Character: 6/10 Enjoyment: 5/10 Overall: 4.5/10 --> 5/10 Should you watch it? Not really, just if you are too into mechas and/or girl MCs. Still, listen to the OP and ED, they are worth it :)
