FUNimation’s 2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 4 — Two New Anime Titles
FUNimation scores two anime titles I’d never heard of — the TV series Jyushin Enbu Hero Tales and Master of Martial Hearts (aka: Zettai Shougeki ~Platonic Heart~), a five-episode ecchi OVA series.
Jyushin Enbu looks like a typical shounen action series and since the original manga was done by Arakwawa-sensei of Fullmetal Alchemist, no doubt FUNimation will do pretty well there. Not doing anything for me at present.
On the other hand, Master of Martial Hearts screamed “bishoujo hentai!” at me as soon as I saw FUNimation’s promotional image. All of the major otaku costume fetishes are there as are all of the major fetish personalities (as best as I can tell). I guess the license rescue of Ikki Tousen must have done well for FUNimation to warrant going after another “girls lose their clothing while in martial arts fights” anime. If so, they must not be happy to have the Ikki Tousen sequels licensed by another company.
I saw the first volume of the manga for the one Akawara drew. She just drew it though…she didn’t write it. So it’s not really the interesting.
Thanks for the info.
I actually watching the PLatonic Hearts Ova’s, you’re not missing anything, it was mildly interesting until the god awful end I seen in recent yrs.
That bad of an ending, eh? I’m almost afraid to ask what made it so bad.
Jyushin Enbu is actually very reminiscent of Inuyasha…in several ways. So if you like that kind of stuff then you might like Jyushin Enbu.
Thanks for the comparison info. ^_^
