Summary:
Fena Houtman is a young orphan girl that has been raised on an Island where there is no hope of becoming anything more than chattel, to be used and discarded by soldiers of the British Empire. But Fena is more than just another powerless orphan. When her mysterious past comes knocking, Fena will break the chains of her oppressors. Her goal: forge a new identity, free of bondage, and search for a place where she can truly belong and find out the true mysteries behind a keyword "Eden." It is the story of a lifetime adventure she and her crew of misfits and unlikely allies will have, in pursuit of her goals!
Let me start by saying WOW to the animation. If anything else this was worth the watch just to see the great visuals. Very high production value. We need more anime of this caliber.
Ok so the story follows Kena who is trying to uncover her past as she travels through different locations gaining clues. The cast of characters are really great, my personal favourites being the twins. Probably the best part of the show. Also a fan of VA Aoi Yuuki who voices Karin. All VA's are great.
The show seemed to have a lot of potential but the story really starts to fall off fast. It gets really far fetched and I really didn't like the whole trance state Fena would get into, suddenly knowing everything. The animation style is also not ideal for the type of comedy they tried for in certain scenes which just falls flat.
Its an okay watch in terms of story with, for me, a rather too far fetched conclusion. I would have liked the adventures extended with some ups and down on finding the truth.
So Id say sure give this a watch. Animation & VA's are absolutely great. Story will be mixed for people.
