Plots(1)
Shy, timid Himeko happily attends school with both the popular and beautiful Chikane and her childhood friend, Souma, blissfully unaware of what's in store for her. However, the destiny of these three changes on Himeko's 16th birthday when the mark of the sun appears on her chest. What does this solar mark represent? At the same time, why has a black aura of agony burst forth from Souma? Who is the enemy? The legend of the eight-headed beast returns to Japan! (official distributor synopsis)

A slightly treacherous anime that didn't grow on me. It can be attributed to the overly dramatic dialogues, relative repetitiveness, but above all, the whiny and unbearable Himeko. Whether in relation to Souma or the dreamy Chikane, she always finds a reason for tragedy or self-pity, which becomes tiresome very quickly, and if it wasn't for a few clever plot twists, she would be the reason to completely reject Kannazuki. However, the remaining two main characters, the ambiguous beauty and the characterful warrior - and ultimately the diverse Orochi - are the reason why I shouldn't give up watching and wait for an impressive finale. Like any anime ending, it brings forth sincere emotions and despite many reservations, it was all worth it thanks to the final punchline.
