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 world 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 power of nature in order to oppose the Diablos Tarot.

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

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Akari Taiyou (Mai Kadowaki) and Ginka Shirokane (Yuiko Tatsumi) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by AIC, so the studio's house style defines how Day Break Illusion looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.0/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Mai Kadowaki as Akari Taiyou, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2013, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
