Daily Anime Pick #3 - Zetsuen no Tempest
Today's pick in the Daily Anime Pick-Series where I pick one anime each day that I think is worth watching is Zetsuen no Tempest!
This anime is one of its own kind. It takes two pieces of Shakespeare The Tempest and Hamlet and combines them into a new and intense story. Lots of interesting plot twist and Shakespeare allusions. For every Shakespeare fan this should have very high priority in your watchlist and even if you're not interested in Shakespeare you might consider trying it after you watched this anime. This is one of my personal favorites.
Description
Yoshino Takigawa, an ordinary teenager, is secretly dating his best friend Mahiro's younger sister. But when his girlfriend Aika mysteriously dies, Mahiro disappears, vowing to find the one responsible and make them pay for murdering his beloved sister. Yoshino continues his life as usual and has not heard from Mahiro in a month—until he is confronted by a strange girl who holds him at gunpoint, and his best friend arrives in the nick of time to save him.
Yoshino learns that Mahiro has enlisted the help of a witch named Hakaze Kusaribe to find Aika's killer and of the existence of an entity known as the "Tree of Exodus." The witch's brother selfishly desires to make use of its power, in spite of the impending peril to the world. However, Hakaze is banished to a deserted island, and it is now up to Yoshino and Mahiro to help her save the world, while inching ever closer to the truth behind Aika's death.

Anime is a great realm to be in!
Yes it is X) I hope we can help more people discover this amazing realm and the best it has to offer
The story and romance aspect was pretty unique and really liked how the it played out. It is one of those anime's, I feel didn't get talked about much.
Maybe people are a biased because of the Shakespeare part since they probably had to deal with it in school.
