Sorey x Mikleo
Anime Spotlight - Tales of Zestiria the X
Ok so yes i did only watch this series for Sorey x Mikleo, I’d heard they were a canon couple in the game and this was confirmed by the series creator saying that Mikleo is Sorey’s “One and Only”. I mean with the anime you mostly have to squint to see them as gay but the fact that neither have any interest in female characters and are very close and tactile with each other is enough for me.
The plot is Tales of Zestiria the X takes place in a world where there are beings called Seraphim. Humans and Seraphim used to live together in harmony thousands of years ago. The humans prayed to the Seraphim, and in return the Seraphim blessed them. The Seraphim have magical powers and their own element to control. Earth, wind, water, or fire. There were thousands of Seraphim, but mankind was awash with terrible emotions, and could easily be overcome and turn into monsters. When Seraphim became too connected to a human, seeing their friend physically and mentally turn into a monster caused them to despair and their ephemeral forms were quickly turned into monsters as well. The monsters were created when an area was thick with negative emotions that created a dangerous byproduct called malevolence. Malevolence turns any weak or negative living creature into a monster. While Seraphim are turned into powerful dragons, all other living creatures are turned into monsters called Hellions when they are taken over by malevolence. The Seraphim kept nature running smoothly and in balance, while a person called the Shepherd kept the malevolence at bay. Enter our new Shepherd and their Seraphim and their quest to save the world from the growing Malevolence.
I do have to say that the animation in this series is divine, some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The backgrounds and scenery is beautiful, the character animation and design are gorgeous and fluid and dynamic. Its just a treat to watch every frame of this series. I cant express just how good it looks, the fight scenes are fluid and exciting, the quiet scenes are scentic and beautiful just the most beautiful anime Ive scene in years.
The plot of fun fantasy affair lulls a little in the middle but really comes together at the end with an awesome battle scene. I loved the powers and weapons and character designs. The characters are all likable and interesting but I was very much focused on Sorey and Mikleo and their lovely friendship/romance. I also did ship Rose/Alisha as well Its a bit magical and I would like to pay the video game now.
