After viewing a promotional image of this, I became pretty intrigued by the anime series. I gave watching it some thought. But I had some doubt. Firstly, the TV show is an adaptation of a book series. I need to buy the series. However, no one has translated the books into English yet. Also, I thought the series might resemble "Battle Doll Angelic Layer." Fortunately, it doesn't, for the story takes place in an alternate, "steam-punk" universe where mechanics and magic combine, known as "Machinart."
One lad who dabbles in Machinart, named Raishin Akabane, came to England from Japan with his "doll" Yaya to enroll in an academy specializing in Machinart to build up his skills, to enter a festival's battle competition, where the "dolls" battle each other, and to defeat his enemy afterwards.
I really loved the ending theme. Overall, this series is an awesome "harem" fantasy with humor and superb animation. I also wish there was a second season because, let's be honest, cliffhangers are the worst.
