![]() In fact aside from a few follow-up lines I’m not sure the show really ever acknowledges the marriages after their initial set-up, except for his relationship with Rhiannon but even that has little more than the occasional mention of her being his wife and a very rare instance of hand holding. Thankfully despite his many wives Arawn’s love life is far from an important plot point. Arawn accidentally marries at least three different women within the show’s first quarter so I was expecting Ranma ½ level romantic hijinks and misunderstandings, which would have made this show unwatchable. Over the course of the first few episodes I was very worried that I had foolishly walked into a damn Harem Anime disguised as a fantasy show. Arawn begrudgingly accepts this position but secretly he has his own plan, one he’s been waiting centuries to enact. Despite having more questions than answers about the mysterious stranger Rhiannon gives herself to Arawn as his husband which automatically makes him the leader of the Gale Tribe (much to Arthur’s chagrin). However Arawn has no interest in consuming Rhiannon and instead rescues her and helps Arthur defeat the Imperial troops. Arthur, Rhiannon’s older brother who is also their tribe’s first warrior, leads a party to try to rescue her but they arrive too late and Arawn, the Demon King, is resurrected. Rhiannon, priestess of the Gale Tribe, is kidnapped by a priest from the Holy Empire who plans on using her as a sacrifice in his ritual for summoning a demon. The cast of Tears to Tiara (2/5th of whom are married to Arawn) Ignoring the porn that it’s associated with does this cartoon manage to stand on its own, or is it just a gimmicky premise that’s not allowed actually use it’s gimmick on Television (It’s gimmick is sex). At twenty-six episodes long it’s a pretty full series. Sentai Filmworks licensed it in North America very soon afterwards. Getting back on track Tears to Tiara premiered in 2009 and was produced by a fairly new studio White Fox (this seems to be their first series). And not the good type of shocking like “Oh man, that was awesome” but more like the “F**k, now I need a goddamn drink” type of shock. Still to go through the whole show only to find out that it has ties to a game where cartoon girls, several of whom must be underage, are getting sexed up by the main character was shocking. I would assume the main reason for this is that technically the show is based on the non-porn Playstation 3 remake that came out a few years later. Remember that I try to keep myself from doing any major research about an anime I’ve never seen before until I finish watching it so believe me when I say the cartoon had nothing to make me think that its source material was pornographic in nature. What do I mean by “adult”? Well as far as I can tell by “adult” I mean “porn”. As far as I can tell Tears to Tiara was originally a tactical role playing game…an adult tactical role playing game. Now I’ve reviewed a few anime based on video games in the past but this case is a little different. I recently watched, then re-watched a show called Tears to Tiara.
