Ikki Tousen anime
synopsis
/
summary:
Ikki Tousen's characters are named and roughly based on
historical heroes from China's Three Kingdoms stories. But
instead of warring states, the setting involves rival high schools
which battle each other for power and influence. Students
fight each using martial arts and carry with them a jewel called a
magatama which is said to carry the souls and destinies of
warriors from the Three Kingdoms period. A school's power is
judged based on the skills of its most skilled martial artists.
One girl named Sonsaku Hakufu, who recently enrolled in one
of the schools, is said to be destined to unite all the schools much
like her counterpart in ancient China did with all the
states. However, there are those who do not recognize this
fate and begin to challenge Sonsaku in battles. Sonsaku herself cares
little for her destiny or the whole school rivalry business (she's
quite an air-head). She just craves fighting, uneven battles
especially make her even more excited. This causes quite a
lot of trouble for her cousin, Shuyu Koukin, whom she is staying with.
He has a crush on Sonsaku and wishes to protect her, but her
knack for attracting trouble will likely drag him into some dangerous
situations.
Ikki Tousen is an odd series that combines history with hot
girls and plenty of fanservice. Some say it works
brilliantly, while others insist it's over the top. Best way
is to check it out yourself, but in my book hot girls kicking ass is
always a win.
