Ikkitousen #3-5

IkkiDD - 05

I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates. I've really been watching more than I've posted, but I'm under some pretty intense time constraints. Anyways...

It happened sooner than I expected. Last time, I watched about 7 episodes before I got sick of the style of Ikkitousen. This time, it happened on episode 5. Haha

In the past, it was a weak story and I was just fanserviced out. This time around, the story is SUPPOSED to be better, but it's just really slow right now. As for the fanservice, this time around, it doesn't seem that be that bad actually. I don't know. Maybe I'm just desensitized by now.

I never liked Ryoumo [Lu Meng] (the girl on the right in the picture), but she's in almost every episode. However, I do really like Sonsaku [Sun Ce]'s ditsy style of humor. It's just so funny - everything she says and how she says it. These past 3 episodes (when she started to reappear) made me realize that.

Also, these last few episodes REALLY reminded me how poor the story is. For example, Kakuen [Xiahou Yuan] was "saved" by Sousou [Cao Cao]. How? The scene: A Vietnam-ish battlefield. She was a female soldier holding a gun with her panties around her calves. Apparently, she was [almost?] raped by another soldier, and she killed him. Then there's a rustling of leaves and out appears Sousou - in his school uniform with a backpack on, mind you! - with his hand outstretched with a welcoming smile. WTF?! That's just one of the stupid backstories in the show. There's another one that I can think of, but I'll spare it.

It's a good thing these episodes are coming out once a week. I wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise, haha.
