Really, nothing hurts as much as becoming close to the characters in order to have to part with them too soon cause of too short storyline. Kiseki doesn't have this problem, having 11 till now.

Existence of Orbments bears the characteristics of both. The mysterious powers of heroes, the existence of Sept-Terrions, witches, animism, ancient civilizations - and on the other hand, tanks, cruisers, panzer soldats, cannons.

Unusual creatures, such as living tomatoes or crazy sheep make a smile on the face and are something fresh among typical spiders. From machines, demons and ghosts to a kaleidoscope of beasts and my favorite: Shining Poms.
