So the third installment of the Ikkitousen story has begun!  The first told the story of Hakufu, Nanyou High School's ditzy fighter and her rise to become the "Junior Lord of Lords", the person destined to command all the "kingdoms" (or, in this case, high schools) of the land.  The second dealt with Seito's fighters, and how they join forces with Nanyou's group to fight against the most powerful school.

Ikkitousen is best known for it's fanservice, but at least with the second series, Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny, there began to be signs of actual story behind the pantsu.  But what of the third series?  What does it bring us?

Click on to continue, but be warned: this review is picture-intensive and distinctly NSFW!

It's taking much longer than expected to do the writeup for Ikkitousen: Great Guardians, ep01.  It'll be up on Sunday.

To tide you, the readers, over, here's a picture that shows exactly how they're "toning down the fanservice" for broadcast:


They aren't.  At all.   This is tame in comparison to some shots shown in the first episode.

So I had planned to do the writeup of the first episode of Ikktousen: Great Guardians tonight... but then life happened:  Ph.Duck's aunt is in the hospital, perhaps having suffered a TIA.  Unfortunately, the information got to me via my grandmother, who started the conversation by saying "(Momzerduck) is at the hospital, (Ph.Duck) took her there."

After my heart started beating again (and I wondered where five years of my life had gone), I managed to understand that she had garbled the story.

Then it was just down to waiting to hear from Momzerduck or Ph.Duck to hear exactly what was going on.  Of course, I was more than a little worried and NOT interested in watching anime (or doing much of anything else... I might have read the same page of my current novel about five times).

So, I:GG will debut tomorrow.  God help us all.
