Episode 3
First half of the episode was okay although Ikaruga got her ass kicked quite a bit there. I also lol'd @ her trying to get her punishment because her code of honor. The punishment was....well a spoiler[massage] although I thought it was something else @ first Laughing

Also, I'm glad Asuka spoiler[finally killed her fear of frogs.]

Eh, I liked it. It's cute and sexy. It's been a little while since I've seen a heavy fanservice/ecchi title that I really liked and this might be a candidate.

I like how all the shinobis have huge tits. It's that kind of attention to realistic detail that really sells the show.


So what? I prefer that than having having flat chest loli girls that are the nor in any series that has more than 3 girls in it.

From what I've read about "Senran Kagura,"it seems to be a cross between "Naruto" and "Charlie's Angels,"but devoid of the charm of both series. There doesn't seem to be a big villain or something to hold the audience's interest for too long,if you count the girls bouncing breasts as something interesting.
And while the huge rack on the girls may be interesting,the thing seems to lose the same interest after a while. To me,the show needs a lot more than girls with huge breasts beating the living daylights out of each other for no reason. It needs a plot or something else than the girl's large breasts.

With "Naruto,"you had a knuckleheaded ninja who wants to be the leader of his village. That and the other characters had personalities which made them interesting to watch. Same with "Charlie's Angels." It may seem like a typical detective series from the 1970's now,but it was controversial then for the lead characters' breasts bouncing all over the place. But,what is forgotten that the women also had personalities. You could see them as people and they had an actual script to work from,an actual story to tell.
"Senran Kagura" doesn't seem to have any of that. They don't really seem to have any real characteristics or personalities for the girls or anything like that. They just seem to be a bunch of girls with large breasts beating up on each other. I don't know if I want to watch this sort of series. If it had an overarching plot or story to go with the girls with large racks and if said girls had anything interesting as characters or had any personalities that made them feel like real characters instead of just objects to ogle.

If this show had something more than what I've been reading about,than it might be a good show,but right now,this show doesn't really interest me at all.

lol how do Naruto or Charlie's Angels have any real script or characters? Naruto is just a shonen DBZ formula in ninja style, and Charlie's Angels is just Hollywood cash-ins with popular celebrities. None of them have any depth to speak of.

At least Senran Kagura is fun and enjoyable. It doesn't need any pretentious script or characters. It's goal is just a fun show with fanservice and it does its job well.

Episode 4
I'm glad to see some of the main antagonists make more screen time this episode tbh especially spoiler[Mirai. Such a peculiar girl with that eye patch and mini jet. At any rate, I think the Yagyu did an okay job in protecting Hibari this episode.] I hope they get a rematch in the future soon.

I'm fairly certain Yu Kobayashi is one of the reasons I like this show. The crazy outfits they fight in, the even crazier stunts they pull, like pulling aspoiler[ mini jet fighter from apparently out of hammer space], and of course BOOBS would be the other reasons. Thus, this was a fun episode.

I'm actually watching this show! I don't know why or have a good reason.

Shut up!

I can't possibly have much to say and saying anything about Senran Kagura almost seems like missing the point, but please, suffer me a few paragraphs.

The kooky thing is that this show is so dumb that it's actually a little disarming and even funny, although I suspect not quite as designed, in my case.

Still, it's not really that satisfying; it doesn't have the budget or patience. The combat scenes cheat on actual animation like a drummer in New Orleans on Mardi Gras and its efforts at giving its case a little depth ain't got no swing. In the most recent episode they tried to give us a taste of a tragedy that defines one of the cast's motivations, but they just sort of arbitrarily threw her into a flashback, gave us the bad thing with no context and mostly through narration. That's not compelling drama folks.

I guess part of my trouble is that I can't figure out what this is. Is it a show with jokes? Is the show a joke? Did anybody think about that.

No, wait, it's boobs. I should create my own personal animation block with this and Vivired Operation. I've already got a theme song!

There are a few things that I can't figure out about the boobs.
1. Do they have flubber implants? That's the only way I can figure to explain the size and the movement, which doesn't follow the characteristics of how breasts move as I otherwise understand it. Then again, I'm been shirking my manly duties of leering and groping, so my observational evidence is limited.

2. Are they actually prototype gynoids with rubber or plastic skin, hence the remarkable sheen that their bodies evidence. Or maybe those are cigarette burns. Perhaps its mutated sweat glands.

3. If not flubber, those little pellets in bean bags? From all of the fondling, I gather that they lack some of the physical integrity and resistance that one might expect.

Of course there's the curious lack of nipples, but I'm not going to bothered about the absence of any of the calling cards of actual sexuality in a show like this.

The greatest quandary, however, is just what good and evil ninja are. It seems like it should be obvious enough, but there's that one evil ninja who hemms and hawws about the cost of nutritious vegetables to the poor. Isn't caring for the poor a good trait? Are we to take 'good' and 'evil' as by now calcified designations unrelated to morality. Perhaps the series is stumping for an unpleasant kind of authoritarian conservatism.

No, nope, no, I'm not going to go on trying to impute moral complexity onto Senran Kagura.

That girl is kind of boring, though. Is she evil because she's boring?

Nevermind, lets just boobs.

Thank you for humoring me, now I'll be going. You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore! (But if you don't, you might be missing the point)

Since when does anime need to have deep sophisticated storytelling? DBZ, Naruto, Bleach don't need one to be entertaining. It's just instead of muscley dudes/ninja/samurai, you have sexy anime girls. So if you're offended with fanservice, don't watch the show.

@SA: The impression I've gotten is that she's poor, so the rising price of bean sprouts impacts her directly, whereas the cost of rich people food was always beyond her.
