Fantasista Doll
Nothing too special to expect out of this series. Fantasista Doll appears to mix up many of the standard cliches you can find in mahou shoujo and card/ monster battler style anime with our lead Uzume getting involved in a virtual card game where the virtual, sentient beings called Fantasista Dolls are in her control and she battles with other players in real-time who are involved with the game for their own varying reasons. Things like Uzume hesitant to fight others due to them being her friends, the girl bonding with the dolls, the "power of friendship" plot device, a number of players with tragic pasts and transformation scenes are all typical elements you would see in one form or another in mahou shoujo and card battle-style anime where they don't really do anything to break the mold, though it would seem this series was made more in mind for younger audiences since this series isn't too objectionable with its content. However for a series wanting to cover a card game, this baby's quite ignorant of revealing specific details on the rules of the game as elements to it are conveniently brought up for the sake of plot and are never elaborated on in full detail, instead opting focus on the bonds involved with players and their dolls.
Overall, I wouldn't necessarily label Fantasista Doll a dud as the series at least appears to have a specific audience in mind that doesn't involve the lowest of Japan's otaku fanbase. Yet at the same time, the series doesn't break any new ground with what it has to offer and would only be best for younger audiences or fans of mahou shoujo genre anime.
