OP is a good start on that - you won't see Kannyu or Chouun(Recently introduced) taking any kind of signifigant role in the anime. It's all about Wu-side and Sonsaku, and is more of a raw fanservice show.

The manga is gritty, violent, and showcases all sides of the three-kingdoms conflict. In the later volumes, Shu and Wei(Ryuubi, who you never see in the anime, and Sousou) get equal or more attention to Sonsaku and her cast.

And it has plenty of fanservice on top of that.

Aggggg, I bought the first volume of this garbage (sold as "Battle Vixens" or something) and have felt dumb as hell ever since. Even the ludicrous amounts of T&A don't make up for the boggling, piss-poor writing and dialogue.

My bud bought a sexy figurine of the bitch on the left in the OP pic, holding a big halberd thing. That's pretty cool at least.

The manga is slightly deeper than the anime, and has characters that weren't sourced when the anime was made. Watching the anime does kinda push you into spoilers for the manga though.

I got volume 1 one weekend along with battle royale 1. Something about the fact that it was so much fun to read (and how ludicrously fanservicy it was right from the word go, to an almost hilarious degree) had me up to volume 7 by the end of that weekend.

Roll on volume 9 with the increase in Ton

That's Tokyopop's fault, unfortunatly.

They did a horrible job, and their crappy reputation is completely deserved in this case. The english translation was written by someone who obviously doesn't understand the nuances of the story(re-relating Romance of the Three Kingdoms), and was in dire need of a cold shower(in some cases, half of a character's dialogue was omitted to go on about lesbians, nipples, or pee stains. Utterly ridiculous stuff.)

Wow, you're not kidding, the manga really did make you a retard.

Eh. If you start from the assumption that it was translated even halfway correctly, the guy can't be blamed for feeling that way. It was a seriously shitty piece of work. Even the early fan re-translations from the Korean version were better, bad grammar and all.

The manga's good if you like the genre, and all the more so if you're familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story and/or history. But the tokyopop translation...no, you can't grow to love that shit. Not at all.

OP here.

discussion of the manga dialogue and plot is obviously interesting, but the kind of images I was hoping would be posted in this thread have no dialogue or plot. i must apologize, for I didn't mean for this to become an /a/ thread. here's something /e/ to make up for it a little.

My fault actually. My contempt for this manga(which I can now lay squarely at Tokyopop's feet rather than the creator's) is so great that I had to hate on it in this thread.

But if you all recommend it perhaps I'll check out the anime.

If you're looking for ecchi? Watch Ikkitousen. Its got good ecchi, and lots of it. That show can't go two minutes without some sort of fanservice sequence. Hell, it usually doesn't even wait that long.

If you're looking for great fights, a good story, good character developement, and all around substance? Look elsewhere. The fights are garbage, the story is disposable (despite the interesting concept... Dynasty Warriors + Tenjho Tenge should = win), and with the exception of the lead (who's mildly funny in a cute kind of way), the only reason to care about any of the characters is the fanservice.

If you want something with a similar concept (bunch of super-powered students from martial arts schools fighting it out... with plenty of ecchi thrown in for good measure) that's better executed (except for the dialog in the dub... the actual voice acting ranges from equal to to better than Ikkitousen for the most part though), watch Tenjho Tenge. Its not as heavy on the ecchi, but when you consider how much ecchi Ikkitousen has, that's not necessarily a bad thing. The ecchi is definitely there, but its not so much of a focus that it gets old and looses its appeal.

I've been looking for the managa online for a while (raw or scanlated). Anyone know where I could get it?

>>155409

VERY TRUE. There aren't many anime or manga that can serve so much fan so well, so in that aspect, Ikkitousen has that accomplishment. It might not have the fundamental requirements for a good story, but if you need fapping material, here you go!

Of course, I rarely seek out a show for it fappability, shame manifests itself easily when I do that. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone else feel that way? Or is it just me?

I'm a man who sees nipples as fan services, so in my case, you get royally fucked when watching both Ikkitousen, (It's worse with Tenjo Tenge)

Only the one at the hotspring was a real fanservice episodes. The fights are just silly when they just have little shreads of cloths on, and they bounce around the the cloth stays in place.

I enjoy the Dynasty Warriors games, and THAT sounds like a concept for a game. I can just see it now.. the more damage you take, the more your character's model's clothes get ripped up. By the time you're down to 1 hit point, you're practically naked. I'd buy that for a dollar.

OP here. the artist is NOT Yuji Shiozaki, the manga artist behind Ikkitousen, but rather Ken Nagaboshi(? ??), who goes by the alias peroguri??????, and whose doujin and doujin soft sites can be found here, respectively:
