User Reviews

I love it...

I had never heard anything about it or seen anything about it. I bought the boxed set (the deluxe edition of course!!) That was the first time I watched it. I love it and watch it all the time. My husband hates anime. He really got into it. He said this one isn't bad at all! I also love all the voices. Both Japanese and English.

I love the characters and everything they go through. The lives of the characters, their relationship with each other, how they all come together and develop a fascinating story. Mirage of Blaze has left me with feelings of happiness. I even love some of the bad guys!! Mirage of Blaze is fast paced and very exciting from the get go. Each episode grabs you and doesn't let go. I want more......
