Ikki Tousen

It's got an interesting story, superpowered combat, epic fanservice, and even some sex. So why is this not the best show ever? It seems it was assembled by a team of mentally disabled 5th graders. I don't know how you screw up something like this. There was so much potential here, all of it squandered. It seemed like a lot of the story was just lost, most of the characters are barely introduced, and then discarded, and the fight scenes almost always seemed rushed. What I thought was the main theme of the story was never resolved. Can the fighters resist the fate of their namesakes, or not? Overall this was a terribly executed series. However, it does contain enough raw material to keep me interested. I will be watching the new series Dragon Destiny. Hopefully, it will be better.

Final rating: 2 stars.
