It doesn’t help that Ikkitousen‘s Kan’u just oozes charisma, so whenever I saw this Kan’u, I couldn’t help but think how much more I’d enjoy this if it starred that other Kan’u.Ĭharisma is something that Rin Rin was lacking, and because of that, she was probably my favorite character in this anime. That said, I thought Kan’u lacked any real stand out qualities, and I expected more charisma from the lead. Kan’u is the main character, and as the main hero of the story, I think she was among the most likable characters. Like Ikkitousen, this anime draws inspiration from the feudal lords of China, but having characters of the same name only made the Koihime†Musou versions pale even more when compared to their Ikkitousen counterpart.
Moving on to the characters, even though there are quite a lot of supporting characters, I found almost all of them to be overly forgettable. Uneventful is a way to describe the story of this show, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if some people find it kind of boring. Mediocre? Sure, it’s just that Koihime†Musou plays it really safe, and even if you were to mentally check out halfway through any given episode, you probably wouldn’t be missing anything too significant. Over the course of the season, the story definitely struggled to hold my interest, however, I don’t think I’d go as far as to call the story bad. You’re unlikely to confuse it for a real comedy, yet I liked the lighthearted tone and didn’t mind the lack of serious melodrama. So the story development was almost nonexistent, but at least I thought this anime had some decent comedic moments. The lack of a main antagonist certainly didn’t help, and no amount of lords and royalty were enough to adequately fill the void. Even the climax of the season felt disappointing, and I was left wondering if that was really it. Along the way, Kan’u meets a few other girls that decide to join her on her travels, but the story just didn’t feel like it was leading up to anything significant. The story sees Kan’u traveling the land and serving justice to any bandits she comes across, and there isn’t much more to the story than that. I think that’s partly due to the story, which is pretty bare-bones and uninspired. When I first heard of Koihime†Musou, I was reminded of a couple of other anime that I reviewed not that long ago, Ikkitousen and Sengoku Otome, but I’m not sure that Koihime†Musou was as entertaining to me as either of those anime. From what I’ve read, it seems that many things were changed in this adaptation, but I’ll just judge it for the anime it is and not for the visual novel that it isn’t. First off, I should mention that this anime is loosely based on an eroge visual novel that I haven’t played.
