About Day Break Illusion

Day Break Illusion (幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽) arrives as an action anime by AIC (2013), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Since age-old times long past, this realm has been ruled by two tarot cards: Diablos Tarot—The tarot of the devil that feasts on the souls of living humans and uses that nourishment to bring countless pain and suffering. Elemental Tarot—The tarot that draws its energy from the strength of nature in order to oppose the Diablos Tarot.

More of the story: Girls chosen from 22 different bloodlines become the wielders of the Elemental Tarot, plunging themselves into this secret battle. To maintain the balance of this world, while carrying unbearable guilt… Are they executioners? Or saviors?

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Mai Kadowaki as Akari Taiyou and Yuiko Tatsumi as Ginka Shirokane. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
