About Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei! Herz!

Here is what Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei! Herz! (Fate/kaleid liner プリズマ☆イリヤ ツヴァイ ヘルツ！) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and ecchi anime by SILVER LINK. (2015). The setup: Illyasviel von Einzbern's life has become ridiculously complicated since the Kaleidostick Ruby convinced her to become a magical girl and join the quest for collecting the seven Class Cards. Since then, almost every day has brought a new surprise, from gaining new companions and partners like Miyu Edelfelt, to encountering her own magical twin!

Along the way, one would think Illya deserves a little time off, right? No such luck: a trip to the beach quickly turns into a magical quest, and Illya stumbles on herself caught in a string of magical feuds, encounters with love potions. However, that's only the warm-up for what might be her final task: recovering the long-lost Eighth Card!

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Shirou Emiya (Noriaki Sugiyama) and Rin Toosaka (Kana Ueda) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 10 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
