*warning lots of spoilers The first 13 episodes was in the Heian period. It was about Hikaru retrieving the stolen good luck charms, called Magatama (made from jade and crystal), to restore peace to Kyoto. There was 6 Magatamas in total and i think 3 had to be found. Overall the story line was pretty much the same when it comes to finding these Magatamas. summary - little history about the people and their village, little fight, and one of the thefts turns out to be a good guy trying to get rid of these Magatamas. 2 or 3 episodes later they have the Magatama and moves for the next one. That's how quick it was. You're left with "oh, was that it?"... Moves to the next village and the same thing again... great story line there. From episode 14 to 26 we are in the present time with the main characters reincarnated. Strange events happens in the city of Tokyo and Hikaru and co investigates these events. you would think this will all link up and makes sense in the end... no it doesnt. It was a silly waste of time. In the end all she had to do was return a little fragment of Magatama and these events would stop. Mansairaku (the wizard/priest) whose been waiting a 1000 years for her reincarnation, could've sat her down, had a cup of coffee, and said, "mate, you've noticed all these strange events it's because..." followed by "this is how we're going to fix it... we'll meet at this place at this time and since i can stop time, i'll take you there to avoid trouble" and "oh if you dont believe me, watch this..." By the 23rd episode, i was angry/disappointed. Angry that they wasted my time for a no plot story and to top it of they were still trying to waste my time by adding a pointless crying in the end. I was screaming in my head, "all you have to do is place that fragment back and everything will return to normal. Wtf with this pointless crying? get on with it and stop wasting my time!!!"

I found this at Hastings and started watching it. It is a bit suspenseful and full of happenings that are going on. I want to try more episodes because I want to know what did happen to her brother and if she ever finds him again after he has disappeared and she wants to know who the guy with the red hair is and why does he know her name and her brother and I do to. Look this one to buy or rent if you get a chance. A change of pace and intrigue.
