I just want to share the watching experience that I got without reading light novel.
In summary, magic and spirit-summoning creatures are the center of attraction presented with a touch of high school life. Without reading light novel, Tokyo Raven tells the story of someone's struggle to achieve goals that he had rejected himself. In the end, for some reason, the path to the character's goal will be realized (if there is a broadcast for the next season).

From the story side, I am quite upset. The thing I feel is that Tokyo Ravens wants to leave an impression that makes the audience curious about the next story in each episode, whether by bringing up new problems, new characters, new realities, and so on. I admit that this charming technique is very effective in general, but not all of my curiosity is answered by watching the next episode. This is what makes me less enjoy this show, I even almost dropped to watch it in the middle of the story. I also shout myself a lot :) Why is it that when someone casts a spell, that person's opponent doesn't take the opportunity to attack first without having to wait for the chanting to finish. The various types of spirit summoning creatures also make a big question mark for me, which era is the focus of this anime story (mythological creatures, fantasy creatures, robots, dark creatures, etc.)

From the graphic side, I get enough experience. Each subject is given its own description, so that it is not the same as the others. What I feel is lacking in graphics is that in a spirit summoned creature, it should be made more "wow" for a fighter-type spirit, and more "cuter" for a fantasy-type spirit. For action scenes, I think the graphics that are served are enough to be watched in their time.
From the audio and background music side, every conversation can be heard clearly. As for the background music itself, there was nothing that made me want to find a composer of this show's background music.
From the character side, there are many kinds of characters, from the mainstream to the unique ones, making it really exciting when I watch it. The appearance of each character also has its own characteristics.
If in the future there will be a next season of this anime show, I don't think I will watch it if they still use techniques that make the audience feel curious, but there is no further explanation about it.
_Notes for extending the letter so that it can be saved :)
I use a score range that I think still appreciates no matter how bad a work is, because behind it all there are related staff who have struggled to entertain us._
Finally, I hope you find this review useful for those of you who will watch Tokyo Raven as well as those who have watched it.
Thanks
