Back)
Let yourself
be charmed by classy Linn Suzuki, the feisty but loveable young warrior
known as "Kotetsu!" Fleeing Kyoto one step ahead of her 100-year-old master,
she stumbles onto the doorstep of the lovely detective Miho Kuon and into
an underground web of intrigue.
Ever the
innocent, all she wants is a place to stay; but instead she's attacked
by zombie street punks, a famous statue, a hot-tempered tree nymph and
a geeky magician, who's actually kind of cute. But all men have the same
intentions, don’t they? What’s a naïve young girl to do?
Coming
of age shouldn't be this hard. But through it all, Linn never loses her
sense of humor, her signature magic katana sword or her towel, which somehow
clings to her diminutive frame throughout this masterpiece of martial arts
mayhem! |
Review:
Holy Crap!
My brand-new ecchi meter overloaded and blew up. </sarcasm>
This short
anime is sort of a quick introduction to a long running manga series of
the same name. This is nothing new a short, OAV series to make someone
interested in the manga, Oh My Goddess and GunSmith Cats are very good
examples of this, sadly this isn't. Am I interested? Yes, because
I hope the manga is better than the anime. The series had a lot of
interesting characters (which are sadly naked half the time) I only
hope that the anime exaggerated the fanservice.
The story
(what of it there was) was pretty good but the constant fanservice really
made the story hard to find. Not to metion that nearly every female (minus
Linn, thank goodness) dresses like a slut, and that nearly ever male is
perv. Which, IMHO had been done to death about a few thousand times
over.
Two things would to make this better, lose the fanservice and give us a
more pronounced story, and make it longer I mean we get the gang together
and it ends. Odd thing, Mikado, looks alot like me, but sadly that
character is a perv. I would like to see a geeky and/or overweight
kind of guy for once not be a perv. Now that would be new.
This title really dances the line between ecchi and hentai. |
