I already looked at the cast....it's the very definition of a "reverse harem". As for "Tsundere male" I am not saying series aimed at guys doesn't have this trope but it's much more common in series aimed at women.

Yeah as does everything that has reasonably good looking guys. Actually thinking about it it's quite funny. I'm almost certain far more girls watch shounen than guys watch shoujo, probably because Shouen is much more mainstream. I myself can't stand Shoujo, Josei is fine you actually get some really good shit aimed at that demographic, better than a lot of shounen but I Shoujo just seems stuck in the teenage girl cute guy(s) sterotype, which doesn't appeal to me at all. Sure there probably some good ones that aren't like that, but their extremely rare and I can't be bothered shifting through the rubbish to find it.

But anyways there is one thing I definitely agree with you this "argument" was silly. I wasn't trying to say it's impossible the series is aimed at guys (although I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little surprised). But I do still think that even if the series is primarily aimed at guys there are elements in the series that are definitely there to pull in a female audience too. Hey both audiences spend money after all. I just don't understand why so many posters were so against the idea that the series might be aimed at a female audience. I'll enjoy it regardless and it certainly doesn't change my opinion of the series that I find out it's "seinen". Quote:

Depends on what you construe as care unless your going to say the Strawhat crew is Nami and Robin's reverse harem, or just Nami's before Robin joined the crew. Which is why I don't see it. Girls can be friends with several guys in this sort of fiction without it being a reverse harem. It only becomes so when it is told from the girls point of view. Since I consider this to be told from a male point of view I just don't see it. Another example is the Seinen manga Sidooh, 3 guys are care about one girl but it's not a reverse harem because there was some obvious tension between the girl and one of the guy and because the girls not interested in the other two and they aren't interested in her and the fact this is told from a male point of view I didn't get any hint of a reverse harem, considering the guy a bit later pretty much proposed to her.

But okay I will admit you were right it's a series primarily aimed at a male audience but I still get the feeling someone in charge is trying to attract a female fan base as well. I know a lot of shounen/seinen are popular with female fans but I think only some purposely try to pull in that female audience.

On Luffy's harem yeah he really is the binding jelly in the crew considering they wouldn't have joined together like they did without him or been that close. |

Even if the author is known for writing BL series, she clearly knows how to provide fanservice to both genders. I've skimmed the translated parts of the manga and it has tons of female fanservice (e.g. lots of uncovered tits and ass). The anime's most likely gonna tone it down since in the manga.

But the thing in the anime that did (more so than even the bishounen designs) is the seiyuu cast. A lot of very popular male seiyuu: Daisuke Ono, Kamiyan, Sakurai, Koyasu, Toshiyuki Morikawa, , Ryotaro Okiayu, Tetsuya Kakihara, etc Yes I am sure male fans enjoy this cast too but I think all of them together might also very much appeal to a female fan base. They even have Daisuke Ono & Tetsuya Kakihara singing the OP.

Regardless of where the producers will be aiming this (and it's only the first episode, so who knows?), this should hopefully turn out to be a good series and a break from all those moe-fied anime that are currently oversaturating the industry (either that, or I'm picking up a lot of crap even by other fans' standards). In regards to a couple others that are supposedly for females... well, Senbasa is a current favorite of mine, and I'm even going extremely old school with Saiyuki, and even enjoying Trinity Blood, all of which have a multitude of Bishie guys. But, they also contain said guys kicking ass, which is originally what got me into anime, and you see very little of it in shows aimed at guys these days... unlike back in the old days of anime (and by old days, I mean going back about only 3, maybe four years ago... shows one how much anime changes in relatively little time)

Anyways, I might check this out depending on the pacing of the next couple of episodes. I read some of the manga and after the initial setup the next set of chapters felt really filler-ish. |

Due to the fact that i will pretty much watch anything from either the Three Kingdoms period in China or the Sengoku Period. So watching this was a given even though i had reservations about it. Episode was entertaining nothing special it seems to be along the same lines as other animes that take place in this period. For some reason it seemed like the episode was a bit dark im going to try another source and see if it was the episode or if it was my monitor. Not expecting too much but as long as the kick ass fighting keeps up ill be satisfied. I mean this is no Sengoku Basra but i wont hold that against it lol
Am i the only one that feel in love with Isanami's clothes? lol i dont know i just really thought they were beautiful and loved how they flowed and her teal colored hair matching her clothing. i lol my ass off at this Isanami: Whats your name/occupation? Saizo: Saizo...Samurai Isanami: so Sai chan then Saizo: bitch "ill kill you"

As for the series, it looks much better than, say, Fushigi Yuugi However, I prefer Hyakka Ryouran's portrayal of Sanada Yukimura.
