Review of Samurai Girls
You know, once in a while you'll find yourself watching an episode of an anime thinking, why am I watching this? But for Hyakka Ryouran, you'll be thinking, why have I not heard of this earlier?! (unless this was in one of your first 10 anime, ignore that whole paragraph.) Story: 7/10 A martial arts anime with harem, romance, comedy and school. Except, the genre that was least shown was of course, the school genre. Probably just to make everything look more interesting. This type of story isn't for your light hearted, slice of life type anime fan, because there's also mild violence. The romance genre canbe really sweet sometimes, as each character builds a bond with Muneakira Yagyuu. The story keeps you on your toes, but sometimes gets off track, which may be really boring. Other than that, the story is solid and doesn't drag too much.
Art: 9/10
Why a high rating, you ask? The art is very unique, having very dark and thick outlines on each character, not to mention the smooth animation. The theme of the anime is set on the Tokugawa era, so not a lot of vibrant colors and more of a dark, ancient style of art.
Sound: 8/10
The soundtrack for each scene is mostly Japanese-themed, sticking to the roots of the anime. The OP goes nicely with the anime, fitting the action+romance. The ED is all about love, so I guess that fits the romance genre.
Character: 7/10
Each character stayed with their role, Muneakira being the protagonist and of course, all protagonists are heroes. The only thing I hate about him is the voice actor, he sounds like he's still in his teens, because of how his voice can crack very often. Not very fitting for a strong, kind character.
The 3 girls that are mostly around Muneakira:
Yagyuu Jubei, having the cutest sounding VA in the anime, Yuuki Aoi. She's a very cheerful, kind and friendly character but she's a klutz. Her 'alter-ego' is similar to Akashiya Moka, from Rosario to Vampire. She is the complete opposite when she is in her 'alter-ego'.
Sanada Yukimura, having the voice actress of the 'Queen of Tsundere', Kugimiya Rie. Tsundere, flat chested, but a genius too.
And lastly, Sen Tokugawa, the childhood friend of Muneakira. A strong, smart, and the type of female character who would misunderstand any perverted situation. She is also the student council president.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I enjoyed this season because of the story PANTYSHOTS, the smooth animation TITS, the characters themselves BOOBS- oh forget it, this anime has a lot of Ecchi. Pantyshots every minute, ink-censored nipples, but that enough won't get you from the story. Would I re-watch it? Maybe.
Overall: 8/10
If you're looking for an anime that is similar to:
Rosario to Vampire
Highschool DxD
and more harem+action anime, then look no further, this anime is just for you.
