Jul 20, 200813 of 13 episodes seen 6 of 8 people found this review helpful Story:
Maybe the whole samurai theme is a little over done, but this story had its unique points. I was impressed with the idea of a 'samurai girl'- Mainly for the fact that most samurai shows revolve around male characters. Most shoujo titles dont involve samurais either. But this anime just didnt deliver. It introduces so many potentially interesting aspects at the beginning and fails to even fully explain all of them. The truth is that the anime has too much story to b...e such a short series. There arent enough episodes to fully explain it. And on top of that it has quite a few filler episodes, most of which dont even provide as much as character development. The story is so rushed that it really ruins it.
Animation:
The art was decent, I dont have many complaints. I was somewhat frustrated with almost all of the women being so busty, but I guess thats really a matter of opinion. I also found some of the characters proportions a bit off at certain points. Besides that though, I didnt have many problems with it. Nothing was overly appealing or extremely detailed but it wasnt bad.
Sound:
The soundtrack wasnt bad either. I actually liked the opening and ending themes, and the soundtrack itself wasnt terrible. The only thing that bothered me was the minimal variety of background music. Many of the same tracks are played over and over and I just kinda wished they had a few more tracks to use for battle scenes instead of just that same one.
Character:
This is one of the aspects that disappointed me the most. I thought the characters themselves were very likable and interacted well with each other, the environments, and such. But the character development might as well have been non-existant. There were many attempts at it with the main characters, but thats all they were- attempts. Is the main character strong-willed? Or is she weak? Does she have confidence or is she lacking it? I feel like the anime gives you mixed answers, and Im not even enitrely sure how to describe her personality. You never really know exactly how any of the characters feel- except for Ryoko, and even with her it can be contradictive. And I was extremely disappointed with the role that the teachers played. They were always there in big events, but did almost nothing. It was completely unnecessary. There were too many characters without purpose, and too little development for the ones that did have purpose.
Enjoyment:
Im not sure if I can say I enjoyed this anime. I'll say it was okay but thats really all. I probably liked the fillers more than the story based episodes. I enjoyed some of the comedy, and the filler plots sometimes amused me. I was more disappointed when I watched the serious episodes though, just because they build anticipation for almost nothing. I didnt really enjoy it.
Overall:
I did read the manga series before watching the anime. So I guess I could be a bit biased, but the anime doesnt really compare to the manga. The story lines are completely different and each involve characters that the other does not. I will say I greatly prefer the manga to the anime. Overall, the story was definitely too rushed, left many open questions, and lacked flow and development.
