Summary:
Karas tells the story of Otoha, a former yakuza, living in a fictional version of Shinjuku, Tokyo populated by humans and yōkai (Japanese spirits). He is one of the titular karas, humans appointed as superpowered agents of the land. Able to transform into a car, an aircraft, and an armored crusader; the skilled swordsman is to stop his corrupt predecessor, Eko, from taking over Tokyo. Supporting characters such as Eko's former henchman, Nue; the yōkai; and Homura, the karas of another city, help Otoha in his quest. A concurrent side story focuses on humans affected by Eko's scheme.
From the beginning, at the first, opening scene I hooked up with this amazing show! Fights and action scenes looks like art! Animation of environment and fights is beautiful, perfectly captures the atmosphere of fantastic world and heroes, but characters are animated with a less details and that is the reason why I gave 4 and not 5. The best description for this anime would be - it s a breathtaking pure action without a stupid and long conversation and dialogue between a fighters.
