I started watching the anime again after a long break. I had watched the first six episodes and then stopped, so naturally, I forgot most of it over time. If you're wondering, "Why didn't you start from the beginning?"—well, to be honest, I didn’t really like it that much at first. But now that I’ve come back to it, I’m enjoying it more.
That said, it doesn't mean I fully understand the plot, so it’s hard for me to give a solid opinion.
Still, I’d say this: there are certain things everyone should experience at least once—like a dish you just have to try. This anime feels like one of those to me. It’s a one-time kind of flavor. So I probably won’t continue watching it right away—maybe I’ll come back to it in a year or two

tl;dr: An anime that has a plot that isn’t particularly deep or well told, but that is still pretty enjoyable due to good comedy and action.
This anime is centered in a strange world that’s kind of like Japan in the late Edo era, but with modern and even futuristic technology. So you get steam locomotives and cell phones, katanas and flash grenades, hacking supercomputers to uncover masterplans and chopping firewood for the bath, etc. The architecture is also consistent with this dichotomy, wherein it’s either Edo style or futuristic. It’s a bizarre mix, but one that I’ve seen a few times in a couple other places, mainly in JRPGs, and one that I’ve grown fond of. As is generally the case with such settings, there’s a very strong emphasis on samurai, at least at a superficial level, wherei…

The opening of the first episode had me ready to drop Samurai Girls like a crazy girlfriend. When I saw nearly naked chicks taking down B29s in flight and ignoring .50 cal machine gun fire. I thought this has to be some sort of idiotic stroke fest.
Man was I wrong.
Once you start watching this it's really something else. The artwork leaps out at you and is easily the most unique and interesting I have ever seen. Instead of trying for the usual not quite realistic art that most anime strive for, Samurai Girls shoots for Sengoku Period art for the settings/( Height of the samurai era). It's a really welcome change. There is real work put into making the backgrounds look Japanese and interesting. Everything from the palette choice to the shading is just spot on.

It was another one of those days where I just felt like sitting back and watching people go nuts over each other for one reason or another. Unfortunately my cable was out and so I was stuck here lol. But seriously, I have been watching a lot of serious titles recently, including the new season of Samurai Jack. So i wanted to take a break and watch a light hearted rom-com. Seeing how this too was about samurais, I thought why not. So let's slice into this one.
Story: 6
I have to say, I barely recall the story from beginning to end. I remember the set up well enough but the details of each episode more or less are foggy. I can already see you going "Duh, its a harem. The plot was going to be boring and forgettable from the start". To you I say, yea I know. But I honestly tried to care. Set…

Taking place in an alternate 21st century where the Tokugawa Shogunate still rules Great Japan, the generals of the country relied on Master Samurai's; very powerful women with special powers to fight their battles. As time passed, this breed of warrior has become more scarce. Muneakira Yagyu heads to the Buou Academy to meet with his long time friend Princess Sen, but he ends up in the middle of a battle taking place between students of the academy, and their rival Yukimara and her assistant who both represent Toyotomi. During the battle a girl falls from the sky claiming to be Jubei Yagyu before she passes out after the fight. Who is this girl? And what was that display of power? These are only some questions leading to the coming events. -summary

Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls.
“Oooooooooh, lookie-lookie! Another harem series rated with mild nudity!” --- Me
I’ve been a fan of harem series as long as I can remember. I don’t know; maybe part of it was because it won’t happen for me in real life. I know I’m not the only one who projects themselves as the protagonist, and that’s why, maybe, I don’t watch shoujo series at all. Enough about me spouting nonsense. Let us proceed further into my review of Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls.
Story: 7
Hyakka Ryouran’s story isn’t that great. But the setting will pique a bit of your interest. Why? It’s because of the odd setting of the story. If you think that the story happened in the samurai era, which was in the past. You are wrong, mister.
The story happens in the early 21st century, in an al…

You know, once in a while you'll find yourself watching an episode of an anime thinking, why am I watching this? But for Hyakka Ryouran, you'll be thinking, why have I not heard of this earlier?! (unless this was in one of your first 10 anime, ignore that whole paragraph.)
Story: 7/10
A martial arts anime with harem, romance, comedy and school. Except, the genre that was least shown was of course, the school genre. Probably just to make everything look more interesting. This type of story isn't for your light hearted, slice of life type anime fan, because there's also mild violence. The romance genre can be really sweet sometimes, as each character builds a bond with Muneakira Yagyuu. The story keeps you on your toes, but sometimes gets off track, which may be really boring. Other than t…

Overall this was a really great anime. Of course to get through this you have to be ok with Ecchi, but if you enjoy Ecchi then this is right up your alley. There are great fights, and intriguing premise, and moderately well developed characters. Sure alot of the things in here have been done before, but this anime manages to have fun without losing sight of the importance of the plot. Sure there is fan service and the requisite awkward situations, it still maintains a serious undertone since the fate of Japan is riding on them. Overall a great little series, more than worth watching.

I was surprised when I watched this anime. It actually had some very good moments in it.
Unfortunately those moments were few and far between.
Overall though this isn't the worst anime I have seen and I did enjoy it. It's a good anime if you just feel like binge watching an anime, but only have one day to do it.
Also this is a good anime if you want to see boobs, lots of boobs. Also if you aren't into anime like that then this is not the anime for you.

At the beginning, Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls almost seems to know where it's going in terms of plot. Almost. A fascinating introduction informs us that this show will combine historical elements with fantasy and science fiction elements. Somehow, in this world of Zeppelins, DragonBall-style scouters, and bio genetic mutations, the Tokugawan Shogunate is in charge. And this re-imaged version of the Tokugawan Shogunate maintains its grip of power by utilizing attractive female super-warriors that it calls "Master Samurai". Now, this is all pretty far out there, but its also kind of cool, and after the first episode I was eager to see where they were going with it. The premise felt very promising.
The show becomes more and more complex, with naked Samurai-girls mysteriously descending f…

When i watched the trailer for this anime i expected a lot from this anime, but once i actually watched the series i was dissapointed. The art work was unique and the fight scenes were enjoyable, but the plot was underdeveloped. I felt like the anime was rushed and it seemed like the standard harem anime.

from my point of view the basic story is about a guy that is just normal who has the ability to turn girls into Master Samurai by kissing them. The fact that there are a lot of ''nude'' (censored but still) scene's bothered me at first but well, i guess some people are into that.
I really liked the way the main characters are introduced because you know from the beginning what they are like and how they react to things. I also really liked the fact that Jubei had two personalities and at the beginning you thought they were opposite from each other but at the end they had a lot in conmen.
I liked the art and sound but didn't love it but that might be because the videos i watched were bad quality. I think it's a bit to 'blurry' (That's not the right word for it but i can't think of the r…

Story:
The story is pretty standard for a harem anime: a single male gets surrounded by beautiful females. The male protagonist has the ability to transform the females into overly powerful warriors called Master Samurai, and that's basically it. It kind of reminds me of Sekirei. The plot had a LOT of potential, but was drowned out by the fan service and comedic attempts, and so many character introductions. If the anime wasn't so short, and they focused on the plot more, this could have been an incredible anime that was very different from all of the other ecchi/harem anime. Overall, the plot was poorly executed and the comedy isn't all that great either.
Art:
The art is beautiful. The style has a nice look to it, and I particularly like the character design of the male protagonist. The b…

Samurai girls... I had never heard about this until I watched it, and DAMN was I happy with it.
This is a harem series as it follows our main male protagonist muneakira and the band of big-boobed, (with one exception) weapon-wielding girls that follow him around all the time. He appeals to everyone, be it; a princess, her archenemy, a few servants, and all the naked girls falling from the sky... Yes, naked women rain down on this guy all the damn time. After this I decided that I should move to wherever the hell this takes place, because the climate here sounds way more awesome than where I live.
Back to the harem part, whats a good harem without high amounts of meaningless fanservice? This show is like tits en masse! Be it all the girls jumping in baths together, or just grabbin on each…

At first i watched hyakka ryoran samurai girls because i watched a small teaser and fell in love with the artwork and i still think it was the best addition to the whole anime the artwork reminded me of japanese brush stroke technique with the black edges.The story was'nt that satisfying although interesting but not at all good. My overall thoughts are: The artwork is oustanding but the story inst that good this is just another fanservice harem anime with amazing artwork ^_^

To be honest, I was deceived by popularity and great animation of this series.
There’s a long review coming…..
About the STORY
There was nothing new about the story. A typical harem accompanied with gigantic bouncing boobs of girls who would always show it to the male lead. Harem type of story is one of my most hated genres of all. It is always about a boy who would be surrounded by so many girls and usually they are the ones who protect the boy. And the indecisiveness of the boy is another irritating thing. In this series, like always the boy needed physical contact with the female leads as so they can transform and power-up. And to make the complete cliché of all, the girls were always doing lewd things or exposing themselves to the male lead. I mean come on! What is so amazing about…

-The ecchi in this anime could get intense-
I'm just gonna keep this review short and sweet: if you love ecchi/fan service than watch this, other than that there really isn't anything amazing about this show. It's a good time waster but to be honest the only reason I watched it was because of the art, and because of that I give the art a 9/10. The art is very unique compared to other anime. At first I thought it was cool but at the same time didn't like it, but within time I began to love it. Overall this anime isn't really for those who are looking for cool samurai fights. (You have been warned)

I figured for my first speed review I'd try to do my best not to completely berate an anime or worship it as a deity (Edit: I failed). What better to do it on than Hyakka Ryouran?
Possibly the worst anime I've ever watched. However, it DID manage to get on my watched(completed) list, instead of the pile of crap I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, the (dropped) list. Which makes me ponder how I ever finished it.
I can't really be unbiased, because I honestly hate almost every single aspect of this show. The story is border line retarded, there is little character development, and none of the characters are all that likable. (save maybe the sadistic side of Yagyu Jubei, but then again, I seem have an affinity for crazy psycho bitches)
The main character was as interesting as a pile of…
