Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Bride

Story, sound and character: Fair number 6.

The story is the usual thing from the previous season, except here there is more of the comedy action, harem, romance and supernatural, which was set in some alternative Edo period kind of thing, thought there is a bit of mediocre in it and the filler episodes, it was the introduction of the new set of antagonist that has added some spice to this anime pertaining to the characters as well as the mystery that hey brought with them. The sound maybe the usual, but the intense explosion and the delivery of the antagonists' dialogue has added some sort ... of flavor but in a way that such category deserve a higher ranking.


Art, enjoyment and Overall: Good number 7.

Ok, I admit it was the fanservice (though censored) that attracts me to this anime, and I referring to the panty shots, boob flashes and booty calling juts like in the previous season, there is also the fighting that goes on with it both verbal and physical that has some added some attraction , so overall it was good but not very good since there is also predictability, nothing much of this anime's overall to get a higher ranking than 7 since a lot of it's genre are on the ecchi and the focus was mostly on the new set of antagonist as I've mantioned.

A promising beginning led to an expected outcome. This is how I would summarize the second season in one sentence, and that is because of the same characters some of us love and watch dearly find themselves faced with another threat undergoing all sorts of labors in order to emerge victorious.
Every action we take has consequences and you can see that in this series very well because of the famous samurai in japan's history like Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirō that were revived because of some spirits that hateful of the course the history had taken and decided to change it themselves.
The end is pretty ... much the same as the first season with the two main protagonists on their way to save the day and restore the peace to "Great Japan" as Tokugawa Yoshihiko refers to the country. The expected outcome is what lowers my score for this series because it's not very entertaining to know the results before you even finish watching it.
Artwork is virtually the same because this season focused more on fan service rather than improving the storyline but maybe I'm expecting too much from a series that as ecchi and comedy.
So if you enjoy comedy/ecchi anime that have a drop of drama then the Hyakka Ryouran series is waiting for you. Thanks for granting me some time for reading this review... I hope it is helpful

*if you are not into reading too many sentences just read the overall section"

"A samurai... lives... for battle" - Miyamoto Musashi from episode 10

I can assume everyone that watch Hyakka Ryouran was looking for the fanservice. Just admit it.

What else can you expect from Hyakka Ryouran series? Unique art? Boobs? or Fanservice? If you are expecting that, dont worry this second season is still same as the previous season.You will still get many fanservices and more, new girls! So be happy you pervert!

STORY (4/10) :

Hyakka Ryouran : Samurai Bride is the sequel of Hyakka Ryouran : Samurai Girls. Samurai Bride takes the place after the ... ending in Samurai Girls. If you had saw the first season then you may see some glitch new 4 characters and yes, thats what they now focusses are. This 4 dark samurai was being revived without any particular reason and when Yagyu Muneakira thought he and his "samurai" are already strong, they were wrong. This 4 dark samurai beats his companions easily. So, what will happen to Muneakira?

Like i said before, if you are expecting fanservices like what season 1 do. Dont worry its still there, moreover you will have a new girls for being f*pped. Honestly, i am quite dissapointed that there isnt any much improving in this second season. The story was still feel a little bit plain and boring, moreover the jokes was terrible and not funny. I feel like "......ok". I wouldnt say all jokes was bad, of course sometimes there was jokes that really hits the spot but well.. its just a few.


ART (10/10)

This is the greatest part and the reason why i still enjoyed watching Hyakka Ryouran, the art. You probably wonder whats the big deal of this section. Honestly, the art in Hyakka Ryouran is probably the most original among the oher series, since i dont find any anime that have art like them. The one that closest was Shingeki no Kyojin. The art was like ink painting. just by watching it, i know this level of art was beyond the other anime. Its not like Makoto Shinkai in term of "realistic" but moreover in term of the beauty of "painting"

Sound and Character (5/10)

There isnt much to say about this two section, since its just a so - so. I dont even remember what OP they use. Though for the seiyuu, there was Kugiyama Rie (Queen of Tsundere) and Aoi Yuuki which was really fit with the character their voiced. and for the character, i thought you had knew it from the season 1 and there is some character development in this anime, not quiet too much but its good to know it.

Overall (6/10)

Despite how bad they excute the anime, Samurai Bride is still brings the enjoyable show to watch. Lets forget about on how weak and mediocore the other aspects was. I am not telling i dont like this anime, I like this anime in many terms, like the art and how great the fanservices are. though the plot was rather bland and plain but i find myself enjoyed watching this one.

Here are some conclusion :
+ Amazing and the originality in art was the greatest
+ If you love fanservices, this show is definitely for you

- The story or plot was rather bland and plain, this anime is not for you who're looking for a great story
- The sound was a so - so, though there was Kugiyama Rie but thats really doesnt help to much.
- In term of hit and miss, this jokes in anime was many in "miss" part.
