La storia della Arcana Famiglia
アルカナ・ファミリア －La storia della Arcana Famiglia－The trade island of Regalo is under the protection of a vigilante, mafia-like organization known as the "Arcana Famiglia". Members that rise through the ranks of the organization are gifted with supernatural powers. They forge contracts with Tarocco, tarot cards based on the Major Arcana, to gain use of these powers, enabling them to deal with all threats to the island. The story of Arcana Famiglia begins with Mondo, the leader of the organization, declaring his retirement. His successor will be determined by the Arcana Duello, a tournament between the various members possessing Arcana powers to see who is the strongest of them all. The winner of the tournament not only succeeds in becoming the head of the family and having a wish granted, but also possesses the right to marry his daughter Felicita. Not willing to accept this, Felicita decides to enter the Arcana Duello herself alongside Liberta, her friend, and Nova, her cousin, intending to win the freedom to forge her own path.

Not really a good anime series, but if you love this you will love comedy and half of the time romance. Main character seem kinda weak instead of strong.

When your dying of boredom and your interested in an anime that doesn't make sense and has no climax. Here you go.n Oh and if you are looking for a heroine who could fight like a badass.

Arcana Familiglia (La Storia Della Arcana Familiglia) is a reasonably good anime, and I've personally watched it numerous times. But, if you like a lot of action, an interesting and/or complicated story, with a small or no amount of romance, then I don't suggest you watch this anime. This anime's romance also basically doesn't get anywhere, so for anyone who likes romance to get anywhere, I also don't suggest you watch this anime.

This anime had a great premise, and a somewhat promising first episode, but something went wrong...or maybe there was something wrong all along and it died a dreadful death. By episode three I had to keep pinching myself to stay awake.
Characters: This is the worst bit. The girl is as flat as a pancake, her only redeeming quality was that she did not take harassment. The rest of the boys are cardboard cutout stereotypes. I really have nothing else to say, they were so bland.
Story: It had a good premise and a good idea, but the execution was lacking. She didn't seem to be preparing at all to protect her hand in marriage and the episodes didn't seem to have very much to do with each other. One moment they are chasing a cat and then the next they are selling things for an old man. I only remember watching one episode out of the four or five I watched that seemed relevant to a greater story line.
Animation: The animation was on the higher spectrum of good, but nothing to go nuts over. the movements were smooth and the coloring attractive.
Sound: Um...I don't really remember.
Enjoyment: I was falling asleep, literally. It was just so boring.
Watch it? Don't watch it?
It's up to you, but I would not recommend this to anyone else.
