L'Ère des Cristaux

Episode 1, my first impression of this anime is the beautiful environment. It is really amazing, the whole view is just beautiful.

The characters are great. The story is amazing from the beginning 'till the end. It's really enjoyable with the artstyle and animation, really smooth!

Watching this anime is a great experience (:

This anime was so fascinating and there were new things happening to the main character so often that it kept things very interesting. The creators of this anime did an amazing job of getting you to care about every side character. Even if they only get a few lines, you get a glimpse into everyone's personalities and it was very impressive considering how many side characters there were. The animation was so beautiful! The creators also did a good job with the main character in my opinion. Even though she can be annoying, they only make her annoying long enough for you to understand that annoying-ness is part of her personality, but then the scene changes right around the time I start feeling negatively toward the character. Then we see positive sides to Phos as well, so to me, I thought they had a very good balance of showing how annoying Phos could be, without making you dislike her/him. The season does end with several cliffhangers in a way that feels a bit like they stopped in the middle of the season, rather than having a 'last episode of the season' feel to it. It didn't bother me too much, though my husband was quite annoyed at how many unanswered questioms there were, so how the season ends may bother some people more than others. Other than that, both of us loved this anime and I am actually going to watch it again soon because I loved it so much!

This anime made me fall in love with it. It is not just about the drawing. It is how it made fell that gem girls are real and how it gave me the emotions and personalities of the characters. I don't rate shows that I like with a 10 except if I enjoy every second of it and wish it will never come to an end. I watched a lot of opened ending animes so I wouldn't be surprised if there was no season 2 but I wish there will be because I don't want my journey with phos to end here. Thanks to the memes that made me know this anime and it is definitely need more recognition.

Houseki no kuni or land of the lustrous here in the west is a beautiful action/drama anime with great characters, breathtaking visuals and a brilliant soundtrack. Usually CGI visuals in an anime are sub par at best but in this anime the CGI is so fluent especially in fight scenes where it looks like something taken straight from spider-man into the spider verse. Also the music is fantastic with most of it being violins and pianos even the battle music sounds elegant! Definitely watch this one right away! Here in the west it is available on VRV, Amazon prime or DVD.

OMG this was one of the best animanga I have ever witnessed in quiet possibly my entire life, the plot, the uniqueness, the world building, and the visuals. Everything about this is amazing and I highly recommend the title.
