Can you be....My Fairy?



This week has been pretty uneventful for me and nothing out of the ordinary happened as of late. The only thing that was worth mentioning was the prediction about the end of the world. I was like...."What today is the end of the world?" "Kewl!".

Lol....well anyways, if the end of the world does come one of these days...I just hope that i would have "lived a life worth living and a life worth dying". This is one of my favorite phrases in the story that i am writing, which is of course entitled "Dareka no Tameni" or better known as "For Someone Else's Sake/ For the sake of Someone Else".

Now enough of that, back to anime reviews =)

Ok, the anime that i would like to share with you guys today is the anime entitled "Hakushaku to Yōsei" or better known as "Earl and Fairy". First question, do you guys believe in fairies? Well...if someone asks you this "today", you might say..."NO", "Of course not".

But maybe they do exist. Not just in the realm of fantasy and our imagination, but in the real world as well. I'm not saying that i personally believe in them, but the question remains..."What if?" they do exist.

Lydia Carlton is one of those few people who has the ability to see them. Coincidentally, she is also a "fairy doctor" someone who mediates between humans and fairy. The thing is, everyone thinks she is weird because she talks to herself (actually, she is talking to fairies...but most people can't see them so they think that she is weird). Her father invited her to come to London and help him with his research. Nico a "cat fairy" and her best friend, came with her to London and they were involved into a little bit of trouble...no make that "big trouble" thanks to the mysterious and "suave" Edgar J.C Ashenbert

Edgar J. C. Ashenbert begged her to help him find the "Sword of the Merrow", which will grant him the title and privilege of the "Blue Earl Knight". Ok...let me explain a little bit on that part as well. The Blue Earl Knight is given the privilege of holding land on the "Fairy Kingdom" and "Human Kingdom" both recognized by the Fairy Queen and the Queen of Britain (I might be wrong on the Queen of Britain part, but it is a kingdom somewhere in Europe xD!). Well anyways, this guy was a smooth operator and he was able to gain Lydia's trust and together they managed to get the noble Sword of the Merrows.




He presented this to the queen and was acknowledged as the successor of the "Blue Earl Knight". Though, the real Blue Earl Knight has fairy blood in him and Edgar doesn't have it. In truth, Edgar was really a royalty and is heir to a dukedom (and from what i had read, it is the highest rank in the British peerage "use search engine for more information"). Ok, to simplify things "Edgar" was a fake. But even so, he was acknowledged by the Merrow people as their leader and thus was given the sword as proof of their loyalty.

Edgar has a very loyal servant to him in the name of "Raven". He's a buttler, an assasin and a person who carries a sprite with him as well. This sprite enables him to fight flawlessly and keeps Lydia and Edgar out of harms way. Then we have "Kelpie", a spirit aquatic horse that wants to make Lydia her bride. Well, i think that he really has affections for her but Lydia makes sure to put him in his place.

As the story progressed...romance and affection bloomed, but not enough to make you feel "soft and fluffy" inside. It's more like hmmm.... "impulsive" moments and well, i'll let you be the judge. You just have to watch the anime, to understand what i mean.

In the last few episodes, Edgar came face to face with the "real" heir of the "Blue Earl Knight". He was brought into a world that is both part of the Human and Fairy kingdom. He was about to lose his life when "Lydia and friends" came to the rescue and stopped the original Blue Knight from accomplishing his goal.

Unfortunately, this anime series doesn't have a second season and you will feel that the story is "incomplete". Nevertheless, it is a very nice anime and i hope that you guys will like it



Till next time...
