I have checked a few other sites about this anime because the picture looks interesting,lol, but have been unable to come up with any real information about it. The most I have gotten was from ANN itself.

While the show, according to the link above,has gone through eight episodes already info on it is scarse! So please anyone with any knowlage on it let me know. I'm quite interested in learing about this show.

Well lucky for you I have just watched the first episode.

Besides the yaoi-ish feel to it, spoiler[it seems to takes place around the feudal era. The story's protagonist is named Hakugen Rikuson on a journey with his master, Koumei Shoukatsuryou. I think their journy was to retrieve the "sovereign's seal." The seal was protect by the Riku family until Hakufu Sonsaku had stolen it. While in the process of stealing the seal, he had also killed Rikuson's father. There is a war between the kingdom of Go and Gi. Go's army leader Sonsaku wielded the power of the "sovereign's seal" in the battle and decimated the Gi's forces. Rikuson's master ordered Rikuson to work under Sonsaku to see if he's the real chosen one to hold the "sovereign's seal's" power.] I'll say that much because after that it gets interesting. The animation quality is great but the character names are just really hard to remember Embarassed

I was actually thinking about starting a thread about this one... but I was nervous no one else was watching it Anime smile + sweatdrop.

I've been following the fansubs for this one and while I'm not really impressed by it, it is pretty entertaining to watch. LuckySleven pretty much covered everything-- after 8 episodes, not more then that has happened. There's a pretty good amount of character development and building of relationships between the main characters which rescues it from the lack of action (there really isn't much). There's some political-talk and such but I find it really hard to follow since the names in this series are really hard to remember. I can never tell which is Go and which is Gi and Rikuson is pretty much the only character whose name I can even remember off the top of my head.

The animation is pretty decent but sometimes, the characters look... strange. I like the designs, but IMO, some of them don't look so good animated (like, they would be better manga designs if that makes sense).

Anyway, it's a pretty fun show to watch and I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes-- I think it will get good later on.
