SynopsisJiyu Nanohana is an ordinary schoolgirl until she runs across a scatterbrained 300 year old samurai who tells her that she is the reincarnation of Yagyu Jubei. With the help of the "Lovely Eyepatch" she transforms into the legendary swordsman whenever she needs to use his awesome fighting ability, which she needs to do quite often as a rival clan is dead set on conquering Yagyu to satisfy an old family grudge.

So grasshopper you have watched Bamboo Blade but still require more comedic martial art action? Have you the discipline to watch a comedy that breaks the forth and possibly even the fifth wall? Are you prepared to deal with more girls kicking the crap out of men who seem to have trained in martial arts their whole lives? Then you are ready for Jubei-chan.

Apr 13, 200813 of 13 episodes seen 10 of 21 people found this review helpful I expected much more, all my friends were hyping this to the moon. They said it was great, but they were wrong. What's sad is the potential that this anime has to be great, it has such a good story line. Unfortunately where this show suffers greatly is in the pathetic writing job. It takes forever for the characters to develop, and I swear they're saying the same things every episode (example: Episode 1: "I'm not Jubei, I'm Jiyu Nanohana". Episode 2 "I'm not Jubei, I'm Jiyu N...anohana". Episode 3: You get the picture)
Not only does the show suffer from bad writing, but bad voice acting on both ends. The Japanese voices are annoying, I'm all for high and cute voices, but the female voice are so high that they pierced my eardrums (or at least I thought they did). The english voice acting is the worst that Ocean Group has ever done. Really expect better from these guys, they did great dubs: Death Note, Gundam Wing, and much more are on that list. However, we are stuck with a cast that either under acts, or doesn't act at all. This looks to me like a series full of over acting, but the voice actors show little or no skill in that department.
The only good thing this series has going for it is the fight scenes. They are sweet. Sadly, they are short, and you have to wait all episode, before you actually see a 5 minute battle.
Why is this popular in the US? My best guess is, it came out during a time when anime fans were starving for product, when the anime section at Suncoast was only a shelf as opposed to the wall it is today. Anime fans wanted what they loved so badly, they excepted almost anything. Today, you find anime at Wal-Mart, Target, Some Gas stations, your city may even have an anime shop. Those that like this, are either mostly old school fans who are nostalgic, or they like to play MST3K the home version.
