Review of Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko

Toji no Miko is a great action anime for those who like: Simple but good story, close female best friend relations/yuri and swords, lots of swords. I really enjoyed Toji no Miko throughout its entire runtime binging the whole series in one day. It has a simple but really enjoyable story of humanity vs a foreign foe. Its still the same thing we always see but its still just as enjoyable to watch here. The sound for the series was great with the sword sound effects and the great music having a catchy but epic OP and ED sung by all the main characters similar to LoveLives music.

My favourite factor of the series is definitely the friendship between the main two Kanami and Hiyori. Being a huge yuri fan seeing these two together and slowly build up their friendship was adorable as hell. Also seeing Kanami's resolve to stick with Hiyori throughout the series also kept me heavily invested. Similarly throughout the series we also get some mother/daughter relationships as well which was a great extra for me to see this family relation alongside Kanami and Hiyori's.

I'd heavily compare this series to the likes of Strike Witches as they both have very similar stories and lead characters.

Overall Toji no Miko is your standard girls battle anime you see anywhere but that's exactly the appeal. I was able to just sit back and enjoy a good series as it wasn't too complicated and I was just that interested in the characters that I couldn't stop watching.

9/10 highly recommend for those who just want to enjoy a good anime and those who are big fans of female friendships.
