Several fight schools are in conflict with each other. Fights
between the schools student are regular and bloody, as they
compete to be the best. One girl, Hakufu, seems fated to reunite
the schools as they had been in the past. Guided by special
jewels, the lives and fates of the students seem to mirror
the lives of the stones original owners, whose spirits lay
trapped in the comma shaped beads but will their fate be the
same...
So
we wade through the mire once again to get to the end of Ikki
Tousen with Volume Four - Fighting Fates, you'll
be grateful to discover that this is the last disc in the
series and it couldn't have come too soon. Thankfully there
are only three more episodes to go.
Fight
eleven and Hakufu has been hit in her vital spot and been
put out of action, and no I'm not making this up. Mind you
nothing wakes you up quicker than your mother screaming in
your ear. It's a very talky episode, what fights there are,
are now becoming somewhat repetitive.
Fight twelve and the penultimate episode still fails to inject
any interest or drama, the show really is pants on so many
levels, more boobs, more panties and veiled lesbian references.
Fight
thirteen and the last episode finally limps home to a damp
squib ending and I've lost the will to do a blow by blow account
of what happens as its pretty much the same thing every show.
Ok,
no one could accuse me of being a prude but one of the extras
really should appear on a fetish DVD. The dubious photo shoot
consists of little more than young ladies some dressed as
schoolgirls high kicking and showing their panties. Ok so
the show is a no-brainer aimed at teen boys obsessed with
fights and panties, but this was a little beyond the pail.
The other extras consist of outtakes, they really should have
done the whole show like this, much funnier and it distracts
from just how awful this show is; TV commercials, an art gallery
and trailers.
Audio is stereo Japanese or English with subtitles and the
visuals continue to be clear if a little crude in places.
So,
the show comes to a crashing halt and all you can think off
is who thought that this show was a good idea in the first
place.
