Dec 28, 2010 DangoSadge Recommended Oh man.. It's another samurai harem. What's with Japanese people and turning historical figures into high school girls? Anyways, this anime series is based on a light novel series written by Akira Suzuki. Wait a minute. I know what are you wondering.. "Hey isn't the main male lead name is Muneakira?" Yes you're right. I mean if you're writing a story about a harem, wouldn't you want to be the center of it? And let's just add "Mune" to your name and nobody would even notice. I really had high expectations with this one. No kidding. It's been a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 24, 2011 AquaHaze Recommended Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls isn't a series that I expected much from so I guess in a sense it exceeded my expectations. It is not the best series out there and it's not for everyone either, but it can be a good time waster. The series does have a plot but it only significantly advances in the final episodes. So like many ecchi comedies out there, there is very little plot and when there is it's pretty weak. However not every series requires a strong plot to succeed, in fact there are many series out there that are successful with no plot. All ... Read more Open Gift Report

Sep 5, 2010 rainstrife Recommended Preliminary (1/12 eps) At this point of the story, it hasn’t fully revealed itself to be important, because majority of my thoughts were being distracted by the beauty of the cel-shaded animation. However, there is more to the story than just action fan service scenes. Whether it’s standing still or in movement, it’s really a rich and attractive art design. The environments feel like a sharp watercolor painting, and the characters blend in with a darker, deeper color. Hirakawa, Daisuke (School Days, Omamori Himari) and Kugimiya, Rie (Toradora!, Hayate the Combat Butler!) share the majority of airtime on the first episode. Both of these voice actors have had their share ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 24, 2010 Rochit Recommended Preliminary (3/12 eps) Completely and Only for Timepass. Made for males with lots of fan service, it's the usual hot curvaceous girls who can fight with a single male convieniently stuck amidst them. Having watched 4 episodes till now, it still makes for some good entertainment with great artwork and editing with decent comical situations. Don't watch for the story or even character development as i feel the creators want it to be light with a pinch of mystry and drama, not too much brainwork that is. So i'll give it a 7 - watch once, enjoy, then amnesia. Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 13, 2010 kakaros Not Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) Like all too many animes out there who are considered a "harem" this also has a bunch of girls who are all in love with the main character but for some weird reason that i just can't figure out they always have to beat him up and act like hes some kind of freak of nature. whilst just like always the protagonist is indecisive and for some reason he's an all Human Rights champion or something, always making stupid and long speeches about how no one should fight and everyone should just live in happiness with each other even though the ones he are preaching ...

Nov 17, 2010 warniefn Recommended Preliminary (Unknown/12 eps) well i have only watched about seven episodes , but that's probably enough to the basic gist of whats going on.

Nov 6, 2015 Luquillo Not Recommended Taking place in an alternate 21st century where the Tokugawa Shogunate still rules Great Japan, the generals of the country relied on Master Samurai's; very powerful women with special powers to fight their battles. As time passed, this breed of warrior has become more scarce. Muneakira Yagyu heads to the Buou Academy to meet with his long time friend Princess Sen, but he ends up in the middle of a battle taking place between students of the academy, and their rival Yukimara and her assistant who both represent Toyotomi. During the battle a girl falls from the sky claiming to be Jubei Yagyu before she ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 4, 2011 helur Not Recommended Ahh, the classic ecchi action show. I am not a fan of the genre in general, but the first episode seemed like it could turn out well. It also seemed like it had a plot. The art also seemed rather unique in its genre of bright and happy. Yes, it was all what it seemed. Expectation: 6 Yet the plot is quickly put aside for the last episodes, nothing unusual, as the harem tries to become master samurai. Now what can be wrong with that? Well, i don't mind the cliche random guy getting all the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 23, 2015 torrapamii Recommended 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 can ...

Sep 21, 2010 Rerednaw Recommended Preliminary (1/12 eps) My initial impressions were quite favorable. The animation quality is stellar, probably among the best I've seen short of full studio movies. The art is good enough that I sometimes get distracted and end up missing the dialogue. The cel-shading may offend some, but I've never had an issue with this style of animation. As far as being categorized as ecchi...I'd consider this to be very mild. While there are the usual scantily clad (or no clothes at all) scenes and plenty of fanservice, none of them are directly explicit(at least so far.) This anime does not use the ...

Dec 26, 2010 Scrypt Mixed Feelings If there's one thing 2010 isn't short of, it would have to be the abundance of ecchi anime that's aired this year. From titles like Kiss x Sis, High School of the Dead, and even Seikon no Qwaser, it makes one think that Japan has had a rise in lonely boys who are buying into this stuff like ice to Eskimos. Hyakka Ryōran: Samurai Girls is no different in that all it really is, is a show about samurai with breasts set in neo-Japan. Die-hard fans of historical anime/literature may feel insulted to this as famous names like Sanada Yukimura, Yagyū Jūbei and even Senhimé are ... Read more Open Gift Report

Apr 7, 2012 NoblesseOblige3 Recommended At this stage of my review, that is to say, the very beginning, i feel obligated to let you know that this review will not end positively. It's a warning you perhaps do not wish or care to hear but one i must inform you thusly. There will be positive comments throughout but they will all fall eventually into a melancholic tone to highlight certain disappointments. This show can be summarised in the following sentence; that is to say if i do not go off on a random tangent instead, big breasted female samurai fight against villains. That is, there are only two villains of the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 9, 2012 razorblade81 Recommended One thing that made me want to see this show. THE ART! I saw the trailer, and was unbelieving. I watched the entire series, and now am a believer. This is one of the most unique and well done art styles I have seen in an anime in a long time. The heavy lines, softness of the colors, detail, all combines to make it very nice to watch. Granted, there is a lot of fan service. And I agree with others assessment, the ink blots used to cover naughty bits was annoying, especially in combat. However, getting the blu-ray version obviously fixed this problem. I don't have ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 13, 2010 darkcommanderq Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) Overall: Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls is a fresh take on Ecchi anime. The main charecter is only stereo typical in that he is a tad shy about sex (like most maile leads in ecchi anime), but that forgivable aspect aside he is a highly skilled samurai. With fresh visuals and a good use of sound to compliment them you should have a good time with this show. Story: I would have given this show a lower value if is wasnt for the last 2 episodes. So far the story has been very bland, but as of episodes 10 and 11 the plot has ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 19, 2014 caseyc13 Recommended Overall this was a really great anime. Of course to get through this you have to be ok with Ecchi, but if you enjoy Ecchi then this is right up your alley. There are great fights, and intriguing premise, and moderately well developed characters. Sure alot of the things in here have been done before, but this anime manages to have fun without losing sight of the importance of the plot. Sure there is fan service and the requisite awkward situations, it still maintains a serious undertone since the fate of Japan is riding on them. Overall a great little ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 12, 2012 MangoFox Not Recommended I figured for my first speed review I'd try to do my best not to completely berate an anime or worship it as a deity (Edit: I failed). What better to do it on than Hyakka Ryouran? Possibly the worst anime I've ever watched. However, it DID manage to get on my watched(completed) list, instead of the pile of crap I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, the (dropped) list. Which makes me ponder how I ever finished it. I can't really be unbiased, because I honestly hate almost every single aspect of this show. The story is border line retarded, there is little character development, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 10, 2013 lotte310 Recommended from my point of view the basic story is about a guy that is just normal who has the ability to turn girls into Master Samurai by kissing them. The fact that there are a lot of ''nude'' (censored but still) scene's bothered me at first but well, i guess some people are into that. I really liked the way the main characters are introduced because you know from the beginning what they are like and how they react to things. I also really liked the fact that Jubei had two personalities and at the beginning you thought they were opposite from each other but ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
