Intelligentlemen

I say! What a disappointing ecchi anime! From the get go we are expected to track at least a baker's dozen of names where one would expect to be allowed time to get familiar with the characters. Furthermore, this anime has the gall, the absolute gall, to basically make the show a re-run of some events that occured several thousand years before the story begins! As a result, all fights and friendships are set in stone based on the past events, allowing characters to determine the outcome of fights long before anyone has even rolled their sleeves up. Not to mention the constant blue-balling! Similar to ecchi greats like Highschool DXD, Ikkitousen features school uniforms that seemingly corrode upon human contact, leaving all but the characters breasts exposed for the most part! I came here for a good time and by jove I felt betrayed. Panties are, of course, made of much more durable materials in this universe, perhaps because the students get to pick these themselves. Perhaps this entire show is a social commentary on what school life would be like in a child-ruled anarchistic society where adults, let alone teachers, are nowhere to be found. In conclusion, this show was a jolly old mess and I look forward to season two.
