Story
According to an ancient legend, upon the awakening of the Devil King, the Goddess of Fate designates the heroes of the six sacred flowers before the Devil King and his demons turn the world into a living hell, granting them the strength to resist the demons. Adlet Mayer, who sees himself as the strongest person in the world, comes to the place where the legend is destined to come true in order to become one of the heroes of the six flowers. Although things do not go as planned, he is chosen as one of the six heroes. Along with Nashetania Loei Piena Augustra and her loyal servant Goldov Auora, who are also selected as heroes, they set off toward the common meeting point where all the heroes will gather. However, when all the heroes come together, a great problem awaits them. When they meet, they see that there are seven people instead of six. One among them is a fake hero. Now, our heroes have only one purpose: to find the fake one. Which hero is the fake one? Will the fake hero be found as a result of this battle full of mind and action? How will our hero Adlet react to these events?

Review
If I were to offer some commentary on the anime, I could start by asking why such beautiful anime can be so short. It must have been a great success trying to fit an anime with this much potential and this much material into just 12 episodes. I still cannot understand how, when you could create 24-episode anime series just from the individual characteristics of the characters alone, something like this happened. In terms of subject matter, it is truly a very good anime; whether it is the character designs or the plot, everything is excellent. It is gripping, and you find yourself watching the next episode out of curiosity. Another nice aspect of the series is that it handles the concept of special powers well, so it does not feel out of place. Adlet, one of our main characters and the one who stands out, is a complete shounen character despite the anime's subject matter not being shounen. This trait might be a reason for shounen fans to watch the anime. One of my favorite parts of the series is also the mind games. They are very well constructed and, along with the action that takes place, they constantly keep you immersed in the events. In short, if you like action, adventure, and mystery genre anime, this anime is perfect for you. However, its short length is truly disappointing.
