Personal Ratings: 3

This anime started out badly. It was boring in the first few episodes. Even though i thought this was suppose to be an action anime filled with fighting, the anime really did not have any actions in the begining. Also, even though there is suppose to have seven kings of different colours, the only ones that were given any attention to is actually the red, blue. gold, silver and colorless kings. They should at least mention or show the other two color groups. 

There was this one episode, I think it was episode 3, where they just gave up like half the episode explaining to us about what had happened in the first 2 episodes, everything about the king. I didn't really liked it, but otherwise, there was no other way they could have explained it to us since the information was just to dry to be shown in any other way.

I'm hoping that in the second season (Most likely more on the green king, judging from the movie), they would explain to us how the people became King and how they get followers and how they pass their powers on to them, and also about the purpose for the Kings.

I also really want to know more about the guy that betrayed the red king. Why did he betray him? And of course i want to know more about the relationship between the red and the blue kings. There are way to many things i want to know about for this anime.

I actually really liked the last few episodes. Really nice as it pulls all the other episodes together. Has got some action in it. I really like how the silver kind solved everything. It was really sad about the silver and red king. 

Art Ratings: 3.5

I liked the art. However i cannot really stand the colour, because everything is just to bright and blue-ish. I also have to point out what Kuro is wearing. It really looks similar to the ones under the blue kings is wearing. It made me thought that he was under the blue king until much later.
