First Impressions: Kiniro Mosaic and Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya

Kiniro Mosaic

Kiniro Mosaic is about Shinobu and Alice friends from two different cultures. Shinobu went on a homestay in England with Alice. At first Alice was worried about the language barrier and surprised by how much Shinobu looked like a wooden doll. Before Shinobu left she was quite close to Alice. Shinobu visit had quite an impact on Alice. She studied Japanese and went to go to school with Shinobu in Japan.

I like how the nation’s flag is on the quilt.  In countries besides Japan you always sleep on something that reminds you of your country

The girls in Kiniro Mosaic are so cute. Alice staring at the doll and thinking about how Shinobu really looks like it is adorable. Also the way the two girls say hi to each other in the other’s language is super cute. These cute little moments are not enough to keep watching a whole show for in the end.

One good thing about this show is that they got someone better than usual to say the English lines. Usually when someone is supposed to be a native English speaker it sounds a lot worse and I dread them talking.

Overall this is for fans of cute girls doing cute things. Not much going on here.

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya brings the cast of Fate/Stay Night back to tell another story. This time Rin and Luviagelita are supposed to be collecting class cards for a wizard, but they pissed off the wands he gave them with their heavy handed ways and fighting. So the wands left them and got new masters that were young girls. Ruby the wand that Ilya acquired helps her make a magical girl outfit and helps her to use her new powers. Unfortunately her powers are not enough to overcome Rider and gain the card.

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya has just taken the cast of Fate/Stay Night and added the story of Cardcaptor Sakura. Fighting the cards so they will submit and not destroy the real world is straight from the plot of Cardcaptor Sakura. The wand that Ilya uses is just like one of Sakura’s and even the outfit she wears is very similar to outfits Sakura has worn. They should have just gone all the way and named the wizard Clow while they were at it.

The best part of the show and the only thing I have not seen a million times before are the wands. They have a mind of their own and can be quite sassy to their masters. Ruby even went so far as to trick Ilya to use her. See what crazy thing the wand will do next is the only reason to watch this rehash unless you would like to watch the Fate crew act out Cardcaptor Sakura.

Status: Stolen plot so I have already seen it before.
