I enjoyed this season a bit more than the previous one. I liked that for the most part, the story felt a lot more grounded and simple and it embraced a lot of a goofiness afforded by the setting. I hate when shows with such a clearly stupid premise start trying to take themselves too seriously, so it was nice that the first half was pretty lighthearted and focused on slice of life character stuff. That said the second half did start to drag a bit as more and more characters fell prey to the same mind control shtick, they probably just did it one or two too many times.
Overall for a show that usually just prides itself on fight scenes that exist solely for the purpose of ripping the clothes off the female cast, I think this season did a pretty alright job telling a cohesive story and being…

Most of the Ikkitousen series is a nightmare. But since season 3 feels like it completely abandons its old dry plot, there's almost a whole new story that is actually bearable and decent. With a much better story line, the fanservice now becomes worth it. That being said, Ikkitousen does a great job upholding the ecchi tag. So if you're a titty-hatin' queer, go ahead and move on. Additionally, this season features a ton of god's gift to anime, Ryofu. Season 3 has a few good battles to offer as well. All in all, this is the best Ikkitousen has to offer.

Great Guardians is apparently the third in the Ikkitosen series. However, I'm reviewing this one fresh to the franchise.
First off, I have no idea how these girls move around as they must have an incredibly huge burden on their shoulders. Other than that, expect unusually weak clothing that must be made out of thin paper. In any case, if you're at all sensitive to ecchi series, high levels of fan-service, or full frontal nudity I'd recommend you steer clear of this.
It you are able to handle these, then Great Guardians offers you a modest story line with some interesting characters. The series is focused around fan service and battles. Character development and romance are far from the standouts in the series.
Animation:
The animation is good though female characters are a bit over prop…

In this, the third Ikkitousen anime, it seems as if the makers simply didn't care anymore and threw all the pretence of a story out of the window. Instead of yet another thirteen episodes connected by some sub-par plot on ancient warriors reborn and duking it out, we get a plot device that is mostly there to have good girls do bad deeds in a ridiculous and consciously self-mocking fashion. It's actually a rather fun ride - if you don't mind the occasional badly animated bared breast.
As Ikkitousen: Great Guardians follows on two earlier anime the show assumes that the main characters and their general situations are known. In this review, I will assume the same. This means that there will be spoilers for those unfamiliar with the previous two series.
Ostensibly, the plot of Ikkitousen: G…

As a guy who have watched all three seasons of Ikkitousen (also wrote review for each of them), I will be briefly going over a few pros and cons about this third season, named Great Guardians (GG).
Unlike the previous seasons which focused greatly on the story of Romance of the Three Kingdom, GG was different (primarily due to the apparent defeat of Sousou in Dragon Destiny). As some of you may already know, GG is completely original (*I treat it like a "filler" series*). So not much previous knowledge of the first 2 seasons are required in order to understand GG.
Story:
The story is very weak in GG. It is basically one random event follow by another until half way through the show. As mentioned above, since GG did not follow the Romance of the Three Kingdom, the story is bound to "suck"…
