Summary:
The story revolves around Mahiro Fuwa, a teenager whose family was mysteriously murdered one year before and his friend Yoshino Takigawa. Mahiro is contacted by Hakase Kusaribe, the leader of the Kusaribe clan who was left stranded on an unknown desert island by her followers, and agrees to help Hakase in exchange of her help to find out the culprit for the death of his family. Upon learining of his friend's intentions, Yoshino joins him on his quest to stand against the Kusaribe clan who intends to awake the "Tree of Zetsuen" whose power can bring ruin to the entire world.
Several dialogues and plot elements in Zetsuen no Tempest pay homage to the works of William Shakespeare.
One of the best anime's of fall 2012.. this show was so awesome that you can't stop yourself from watching it till the very end.. Nice plot and story the intricacy of including Shakespeare's Hamlet & Tempest surely add to the twist. I love the characters especially Tetsuma he's kinda cute in some way... but off course Ilove the tandem of Mahiro & Yoshino.... science fiction, suspense, catastrophe, tragedy, Shakespeare! Suge!
