[Anime Review] Bamboo Blade

Bamboo Blade

"A good sport-related anime, too bad it's a bit slow pace" -bezoe

Toraji Ishida is a high school kendo teacher. His friend and fellow kendo teacher makes him a bet: if Ishida can assemble a girls' kendo team that can defeat his girls' team in a practice match, he'll treat Ishida to free meals at his father's sushi restaurant for a whole year. Now Ishida must find five girls to join the team.

The synopsis above (from Animenewsnetwork.com) was only a small part of the 26 episodes of this anime. Beside trying to assemble 5 girls team the story also revolve around one of the girl (Tamaki) who lost her confidence after been defeated and make her come back.

Bamboo Blade actually a pretty solid Sport-related anime, the kendo duel scene were very enjoyable, the animation actually not bad and the overall story pretty good as well except it is a bit slow pace and I think it will be better if the anime being condense into 13 episodes.

Overall Rating: A-
