First of all, I recomend everyone to read the manga "Hana no Keiji" before getting into this anime. Thing is that, like a reviewer on this anime here said, it is difficult for many to get into this anime. Reading the manga first will allow you to further understand the concept of this anime. With that said, let me express my review on Gifuu Doudou.
Story: 6/10
It was told that Uesugi Kenshin had illegitimate son. The great Shoguns Hideyoshi, Nobunaga and Ieyasu knew of this, but, however, prefer not to spill the news to everyone.

Another excellent work from Tetsuo Hara (Hokuto no Ken), this one is historical fiction about two eccentrics and their quest to... well, do awesome and manly things.
This show will put hair on your chest, make your muscles grow and impress women. And if not, you'll still have fun watching it. It's a well-written, stylish show with great art and a strong plot.
It's not a 'perfect masterpiece' but it's a great show nonetheless.
The OP theme was the best OP theme of 2013. If you like HnK you will like this show, as I did, because it is written in a style similar to HnK.
