I believe I know, and frankly, you probably don't want to. I wish I didn't. The thought that one person doing it and posting the result on the Internet was astounding. The fact that it has become a bit of a trend just boggles the mind.

Another Ikkitousen Wow im not really sure what to say. I own the whole series dont ask me why. The funniest thing i can think of was when i showed a friend the series and he asked me what it had to do with Dynasty warriors. I tried to explain to him that the warriors were suppose be the reincarnations of the romance of the three kingdoms period. But the names had been translated into Japanese. Apparently it was too much for his brain. LOL
Anyway the story sucked ass but the characters were funny to watch and it did have some girls in it and we all need some fanservice in our life. Ill guess i will have no choice but to watch the sequel. I think if you go into it not expecting much you will be able to enjoy it. I do hope there is more fighting though Oh and did i mention its nice to see Guan Yu reincarnated as long purple haired hot chic with big breast. At least the gave her the appropriate weapon the blue dragon spear and i guess her long hair repersents Guan Yu's long beard.

Reminder
While Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny has not been licensed yet, it is produced by MFI, therefore we won't be listing fansubs here on AnimeSuki. See Removal of Media Factory Inc. Works for details. Since it is "restricted", the following posts are no longer allowed.
You still are allowed to discuss the anime, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story. |

I actually enjoy Ikki Tousen for the story, it could be to do with its link to the epic past which we're always reminded off.

The original Ikkitousen was a bad show, but it's also one that I had fun watching. While it's obviously designed to appeal to prurient interests, it can still be enjoyed on other levels. In a way, I think that it's lack of seriousness and subtlety allows it to play more to its strengths (and the characters are definitely one of these strengths).
Dragon Destiny is probably going to be a bad show as well, but if it can maintain the same entertainment level as its predecessor, then I think that it'd be well worth watching.

Unsurprisingly, the original Ikki-Tousen Manga and anime caused quite an outrage amongst Mainland Chinese Anime Fans; for although the author claimed it was not his intention, his story did trivialize the greatest heroes of their/our culture into lust objects straight out of a se/xploitation film.
I for one was not as annoyed, given my relative unfamiliarity with the Three Kingdoms Saga (moving to Australia when you are 8 years old can do that). However, as a Guan Yu (Kanu) worshipper myself, I was surprisingly unannoyed at Ikkitousen's interpretation of my God of Choice. Hey, at least she gets the (relative) least of the brunt of fanservice, and is (appropriately) the most beautiful, charismatic and powerful of the cast, befitting the Warrior God she is adapted from. |
