Anime Hajime Review: Fantasista Doll

Series Synopsis

When she was younger, Uzume Uno (voiced by Ayaka Ohashi) was a champion card game player. Over the years though, she has moved on from the hobby she once loved and is now in high school. Timid and shy, she has difficulties standing up to people and saying no. Although sometimes inconvenient, she has come to accept this as part of her daily life.

That changes when Uzume discovers that someone has given her a strange cell phone. Not sure of what to make of it, she's given no time to investigate as she is suddenly attacked by an underclassman named Kagami Todori (voiced by Sachika Misawa). Kagami is in command of a powerful female warrior and quickly corners Uzume.

Trapped, everything appears hopeless until Uzume hears a person calling out to her. The voice offers to help if Uzume agrees to a contract. With little choice, she accepts.

The phone Uzume was given lights up and manifests a yellow haired girl named Sasara (voiced by Minami Tsuda) who defeats Kagami. Sasara explains she is one of a many artificial dolls who can be summoned through special cards in battle and Uzume is her new master. The rest of the team includes Kaita (voiced by Sora Tokui), Shimeji (voiced by Chinatsu Akasaki), Akari (voiced by Akiko Hasegawa), and Madeleine (voiced by Sayaka Ohara).
