Uzume
was a normal middle schoolgirl until she found some cards and some
girls call 'dolls' popped out of them and she suddenly becomes their
master, but she soon finds out she's not the only one with cards and
everyday she is challenged by other card masters. Uzume also never
wanted to be a card master, but when she finds a group of cards that
turn into girls she rather make friends with them in Fantasista
Doll: Complete Collection
(2013).
She
soon finds out there are other card masters and the battle each
other, with their cards as the prize. And for some reason everyone
wants her cards, a mysterious organization that is promising to grant
anyone's wishes if they capture Uzume's cards. This series sort of
reminds me of Card
Captor Sakura,
a young girl who suddenly has magical powers/abilities and fights for
love, friendship and justice, except with even more characters and
pretty costumes. And for some odd particular reason all the 'cards'
were girls and their abilities get more silly as the series
progresses.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image looks great throughout
each episode, while the lossless DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 2.0 Stereo
is warm and well recorded throughout, plus has Pro Logic-like
surounds those with home theater systems might want to try out though
5.1 mixes would have been nice. Extras
include clean opening and closing animations and trailers.
