Winter 2011 (Alternate titles – Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica – Magic Girl Madoka Magica) Excellent opening and ending theme music round out a surprisingly awesome anime.įinal impression – a rare masterpiece 10/10 The art style is also refreshing, with very sharp shading and thick lines that makes the entire anime look like it was painted with a wide brush. There is a great balance of story and action, with pretty much every character having likable, relatable traits. Attractive women with superhuman abilities is common enough, but it gets executed very well in Samurai Girls. Samurai Girls as a concept isn’t anything new. Unnatural rays of light that censor other, similar anime like Koihime Musou are getting cliché and tacky. Using inkblots to censor the anime’s TV version was a stylistic stroke of genius. But there’s a lot of innovation throughout the anime that is very fresh resulting in the ecchi being more icing on the cake than excessive sugar. Given the excessive ecchi, even I would have expected my own rank for Samurai Girls to be a much lower score. As I often do when a specific plot element excites me, I’m going to mention that I have a soft spot for alternate history stories, so this anime may rank higher on my scale than others might rate it. Samurai Girls is set in a fantasy-style modern Japan, in a world that experienced a very different end to World War II.

The young samurai Muneakira returns from his travels around Japan to find the wanted criminal Yukimura being hunted by his childhood friend, Princess Sen Tokugawa. Final impression – refreshing, but could’ve been better 8/10įall 2010 – (title literal translation – Blooming Flowers – Samurai Girls) ![]()
