* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The anime's ending theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QSwu_RkXEw Toki no Iro wo Kaete]]" [[note]] "Change the Color of the Moment" [[/note]] by Mika Okudoi, this song is pretty much the ''only'' memorable thing about the anime, to the point where it's generally agreed that a song as awesome as this deserves a better fate than its association with a forgettable, mediocre anime that was quickly forgotten.

** The opening theme, "[[https://youtu.be/K4fwo7w4AoM Pure Snow]]" by Yuko Sasaki, is honestly even better than the ending. Like the ending, many agree that it deserved to be attached to a much better anime as opposed to being one of the, if not the only, memorable thing about this series.

*CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lord Shikara]], General-Governor of Kune, is the [[AmbitionIsEvil wicked, ambitious]] son of the King of Kune who seeks the Bokkan for ends beyond his empire's. Shikara has his armies lay waste to the country of Yamatai so he can invade the fountain where the Bokkan is kept, murdering the mother of the then-infant guardian Himiko and attempting to [[WouldHurtAChild toss Himiko herself]] into the Bokkan's flames. Corrupting the Bokkan's fountain, Shikara murders the temple's priests to turn them into his undead servitors and has the remnants of Yamatai's defenders hunted, ordering entire villages and their populations indiscriminately massacred to find their base. Along the way, Shikara regularly [[BadBoss murders his own minions]] for any reason he can think of, even harvesting their bodies to use as undead soldiers through the corrupted fountain; horribly disfigures the love of his general Chosa, showing her to Chosa purely to torment them and killing them both when they try to escape; and [[{{Patricide}} murders his own father]] to take the throne for himself. Shikara ultimately tries to use the fountain's darkness to cleanse Yamatai of all human life to rule a land of lifeless darkness, hysterically aware of his own evil to his last breath.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The anime is a ClicheStorm of epic proportions, but nothing about it screams "''terrible.''" It's just a very mediocre setting with very mediocre characters and a hackneyed plot, with a few good characters here and there.

* While most of the characters are just bland, few of them are as offensively annoying as the male lead Kutani, who's whiny, ''obnoxiously'' intrusive on both Imara and Himiko herself and an UngratefulBastard to Imara on top of that for saving his life.
* Himiko herself, for being a whiny, gratingly annoying PinballProtagonist who does little else but float from place to place and act as completely tangential to the plot ostensibly revolving around her.

* CompleteMonster: Shikara, the General Governor of the Kune, persistently shows himself to be a power-hungry and remorseless bastard up till his demise. The first episode prologue alone has him murder the then infant Himiko's mother and almost do the same to Himiko herself by throwing her in the fountain of Bokkan (thankfully, she survives). His very malevolence causes the holy site to become corrupted into a fountain of darkness that can resurrect the dead and turn even living people into zombies, the latter of which happens to Seika's father, Jakatsu, whom Shikara makes into his [[TheDragon dragon]]. He also steals Chosa's love, Shouhi, disfigures her (possibly) and unsuccessfully attempts to make her his own, ultimately killing them both when they reunite and try to escape. The man even [[SelfMadeOrphan offs his own father]], the King of Kune, in front of one of his generals and usurps the throne in the final act. Upon kidnapping Himiko, he slowly loses what little sanity he has and becomes hellbent on swallowing the world in darkness with the corrupted fountain. In short, a textbook example of the trope.
* MoneyDearBoy: Tadami is very stingy sometimes.
