Just as things look like it can't go wrong Kyuota starts to get visions of magical girl battling it out in the sky. Only they aren't visions, Kyouta is about to get caught in the middle of a five way magical battle that has been raging for centuries. Not only that but his girlfriend Yoriko is also part of it and she holds the power to tip the balance of the stalemate.

CHRACTERS.

Kyouta. He is a young man who dreams of becoming a popular idol. He starts to notice some strange things around him and sees magical girls fighting in the sky. He learns that he has a power to and that he is a mindbreaker.

Yoriko. She has been Kyota's friend for years and loves his singing very much. She is also afraid of her power and the fate people try to pin on her.

Shingo/Junichi. These are the other bandmembers in Kyouka's band.

Mindbreakers. Mindbreakers are humans who have the ability to control the magical girls. Each mindbreaker has their own method of releasing the power but most if not all want to controll them for the power it gives them.

Abuto. A mindbreaker who is after Yoriko because of her power. Controling her will give him immense power. He uses his position as manager of a talent agency to lure girls to him.

Kanae. One of the magical girls, a Darklore, who is under Abuto's control. She is intensly jelous of Yoriko because Abuto focuses his attention on Yoriko instead on her.

ART & MUSIC.

Both the art (5/5) and music (5/5) are excellent. The music plays a very important part in the anime and Kyouta is a very good singer who performes with his band.

VOICE ACTING

The Japanese acting is great as usual (5/5).

Personal note. I liked this anime a lot. It would have been usefull if they explained the situation between the factions a bit more than they did but this is not a necessity. The story is very good and the music is excellent.

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.
