After watching the entire story through to the finish, I must admit that I am left a little confused as to the point of the whole thing.
That said, there are some moments of inspired story-telling, but these are very, very few and far between. inevitability of fate is often overshadowed by minor squabbles or situations clearly designed to pander to more base tastes. A plot lightly touching on pre-destination and the Story: A good concept gone to waste most of the time, and slightly silly to boot. There were many things that could have been done much better- that would have made this a better series- but if you leave your expectations and occasionally your sense of decency behind, this is not a terrible watch. Though, that's not to say that it wasn't rather enjoyable, and I must admit that I was surprised that I was able to finish it, and still feel a sliver of satisfaction after watching it. In fact I might rewatch it after finishing Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny and Great Guardians. Overall, I enjoyed the anime and had no regret watching it. However I do recommend this to fellows who might want to see how the story of Romance of the Three Kingdom can be turned into in a modern day Japan. Seriously, there are more than enough scenes in Ikkitousen that are on par to hentai. I don't recommend Ikkitousen to people looking for fan service. (One got to understand that the actual cast for the Romance of Three Kingdom is ENORMOUS, the producer handpicked a very few exceptional ones only) That is not to say that they did poorly, but rather it was just too much for 13 episodes. I can understand that the producer tried to build up some character introduction/developments but mostly ended in failure. I like the OP but everything else is just what one would call "standard" in the anime industry. Note that I am rating it based on the year of its production, NOT by current standard. Nothing too fancy.don't expect too much from it, after all it is made in 2003. Oh, and I really don't see much point in all those street fights. I rate it 7 because I don't find it very original, and messing up the genders of the characters in the Romance of Three Kingdom is just.wrong. Here are some links if you are interested.
At the end, three overlords eventual dominated China resulting in the period of the Three Kingdom (which was explained at the end of the anime). Which in our case, the local governors and warlords are nothing but the seven schools. The concept of the story is simple enough if you know the history.Īt the end of the Han Dynasty, the government became corrupted and the local governors and warlords took over and began building up their power. Though trying to retell it (even a small portion of it) in 13 episodes is just too much a task. Trying to make a modernized version of the ancient war in China was a good idea to begin with. Yes, I agree that the fan service is very abundant (ridiculous is the term I would use), but I don't see the point in watching this if fan service is all you are looking for. HAVE NO INTEREST IN CHINESE HISTORY (though rather twisted if you ask me), AND IF YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO DIG OUT SOME HEAVY FAN SERVICING ANIME, THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! You might as well go watch hentai instead. So before any further rating of the show, I would like to give a bit of advice to those who plan to watch this. But I must admit it will be quite difficult for an average person with no background to try to understand what is going on in the story.
As a person who knows quite a bit of the history during that period, I find easy to understand the relationships between characters and what the anime is trying to bring out. Ikkitousen is loosely based on the infamous Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms which is set around 200 AD.
