A story about finding and staying true to yourself, and what that means for both yourself and the world around you.

A romance between a Yagyuu instructor and a Tokugawa Shogun, and this on its own is well developed enough to be a good manga. What really elevates it though, are the philosophical elements mixed with spectacular swordplay.

If you're a fan of the like of Vagabond or Holyland, a lover of short but beautiful fights that rely on the mentality of the combatants and make every stroke count, then this is for you, as the martial elements overshadow the romance, and the manga is all ... the better for it.

It explores a variety of personalities, and shows how they cope with various events as ways to show their strengths and weaknesses, with spectacularly executed themes of staying true to ones self, even if that makes an enemy of the world, among both the protagonist and antagonists of the story.

I think this anime has flown under the radar for two long, and it's pretty undeserved. A well animated and put together actions story with pretty good fights, a plot that has an actual resolution in this season,(Minus a small sequel hook), and a likable MC. For any fan of fantasy actions shows with a fast pace, this is a great watch.

If that's not your cup of tea, maybe you won't love it, but for anyone the production quality is visible and pretty impressive.

I would say this anime does everything it tries pretty well, with no real flaws. However, it's not really outstanding at ... anything.

This anime lives up to it's premise in 24 short but sweat episodes. If talking bananas running a Tv show expedition sounds weird to you, that's because it is. The appeal of TV Yarou Nanana is in the outrageous comedy, the endearing low budget style of artwork that makes it feel almost like watching a comic strip, and the fun and memorable characters that work perfectly with both running and new jokes.
I would wholeheartly recommend it for any fans of comedy. As each episode is only three minutes, there is little to lose by giving it a try, but a lot to gain.
