AniWorthShin Hakkenden
Introduction
Based on the long cherished, classic Japanese novel Nanso Satomi Hakkenden by Bakin Kyokutei Takizawa (1767), a modified version of it was made into animation.
Taking place in the future, during this time wars were occuring in heaven, mostly for possession between the eight moons created by the savior Fuse that surrounded God's land. When the war ended, there was only one ruling family - that of the Oowaris, and the remaining son gained control of all the moons of heaven, except for one. Meiten, the moon of the pope, where people refrained from war and were therefore out of it's terms.
Eight people. Each from one of the eight moons. Each possessing one of the jewels - the elements that compose Earth. They are those who are destined to become saviors of humanity. All of them have sacrificed for these jewels, and are determined to complete their duty to Queen Fuse who entrusted these to them. When the mad emperor Kai threatens to revive a ghost who wants to prevent the restoration of Earth, these eight must battle using the powers given by their jewels in order to create Earth and defeat those who want to prevent it.
So they all go to Kusanagi, the ship in the center of God's land. They must gather the jewels in the key called Yatsufusa at Kusanagi's center, in order to create Earth.

I don't know from where should I start but just split it out.
So first I'll talk about the story
The story is more than excellent. There are great moments and some of them are just normal
I liked the dark side of the story and how all the characters suffered for a sublime goal. I did not like the cause of the sparks in order for them to become villains. Ridiculous and possibly very trivial reason.
Secondly the graphics
Very good for those who move the characters badly improve in some shots, but mostly bad. I understand that it is an old anime, but there are anime with the same foot, but the graphics are better than it.
Third, the sound
The song "Beginning and Ending" is good but I hated that in every episode they remind us of the main story after the introduction
As for the voices in th…
