Series Plot Summary
From the Guardian World, home of mages, Tiara has been sent on a mission: recover the stolen Throne of Yord, the most powerful magic artifact of all. But Tiara finds herself in a dilemma—the Throne has been taken by her former lover, and there is more to the situation than meets the eye.
My Thoughts on the Series
I LOVE this anime. It's one of my favorites! It's about magical guardians that protect the earth from spirit monsters. However, the series doesn't focus on the guardians' mission. It focuses on a specific group of young guardians as they gain their powers. Then the mystical source of the guardian world, the Throne of Yord, is stolen. The bonds between the young guardians are put to the test as they try to save the life of the friend who's trapped inside the Throne of Yord. This is a strange but fascinating anime. It's so original and very creative. The soundtrack is fantastic; it goes so well with the unusual world of the guardians. I highly recommend this series.
