So much hilarious potential right there that will undoubtedly not be utilized.
Other than that, pretty standard anime fare it seems. |

Given some of the stuff I've already read about the next batch of shows, I think weirdness would be unavoidable in any case.  |

I don't follow, are you implying anime like that don't happen with any kind of regularity? |

| Can anyone make heads or tails of that plot summary, or know what the story is actually about? |

| This is not the first time the Hakkenden legend is made into anime. There was Hakkenden anime that came out in 90's. Pioneer/Geneon released the DVD years ago. |

Three orphans (in the standard lead-male, lead-female, rival-male setup) raised like siblings, eight magical macguffin beads, super-special powers and an animal sidekick. The girl can't cook and the boy used to dress up for fujoshi. Also, a frat boy.
What are the chances the rival-boy winds on the ideological opposite side from main-character boy at some point? |

| I enjoy a good transformation-filled story. We'll see if this one qualifies. |

Glad someone remembered this. That OVA series has been in my wishlist for some time, but I was never quite interested enough to pull the trigger. If anyone's interested, I think cheap copies are still available through RightStuf. |

It's a pretty unique anime as far as art an animation go. I forgot the animator, but he's that one that everyone knows for melty characters and fluidity. It's a sakuga anime for sure. |
