Gods and ‘ghosts’ seem to factor in heavily into this, and apparently it’s a pretty dangerous role overall, since it requires a gaggle of pretty boys to guard her. Not much has been revealed about it though, so anything I say at this point is pure speculation. Tamaki’s grandmother ( Kubota Tamie – Hanasaku Iroha’s Okami-san!) gives a fairly succinct explanation of the role – she has to seal the Onikirimaru, which I’m assuming is some kind of evil spirit. The first episode does a fair job of doing this, by giving the heroine Kasuga Tamaki ( Miyake Marie) a solid reason for her harem: she is the next ‘Tamayori Princess’. It’s always a challenge to adapt video games – much less dating sims – into anime, so here’s the million dollar question: how does Hiiro no Kakera measure up?Īs an introductory episode, the pacing is inevitably slow (or break-neck pace, depending on how you look at it) the premise needs to be introduced, the necessary characters established. This was a pre-air, with the next episode airing on April 9th. I don’t mind the prospect of watching one lucky heroine be surrounded by a bunch of eligible pretty boys. When I first caught wind of the adaptation of Otomate’s (the game studio behind Hakuouki as well as other otome games) Hiiro no Kakera, I thought: sign me up.
