Himejima Himiko doesn`t know who her parents are. In fact, she can`t remember much about her past at all. She, in fact, is a sacred child from a parallel fantasy realm. At the event of her birth, during a sacred flame ritual, an evil general with sadistic intentions invades the palace, causing the six guardians of the flame to be dispersed, and nearly killing Himiko. Several years later, Himiko and her adoptive brother return to Himiko`s homeland, to find it torn apart by war; it`s up to Himiko to reunite the six guardians and return order to the realm.

I found this to be a reasonably enjoyable though unremarkable show. The designs are attractive. The plot and characters, while nothing too original, are competently created. It's good enough to hold your interest while you're watching, even if nothing about it sticks in your mind afterward.
Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to find it, but if it drops into your lap, there are worse ways to spend an afternoon.
