Sum it up in a Sentence

Two assholes join a school with a huge fighting hierarchy and lots of fanservice happens too.

Main Description

Souichiro Nagi and his cohort Bob Makihara like to fight and are kicked out of so many schools until they end up in Toudou Academy, a high school where everyone fights. The two enter with the subtlety of a rhinoceros in a china shop and end up being pulled into the Juken Club by the Natsume sisters Maya and Aya for their potential and the fact that Nagi accidentally crashes into Aya in the school shower, sees her naked, and by some weird tradition Aya thinks he's supposed to be her husband and unconditionally attaches herself to him. The school's fighting elite doesn't like these newcomers as well as the Juken Club, and undergoes a campaign to harass and otherwise break up the club. It is through this conflict that the audience begins to learn the history and previous generation of fighters that set all the bad blood in motion.

Personal Opinions

Willsun

The action and animation is pretty good for 2004, but the biggest misgiving I have about this series is that they focus on the supposed main characters of the series so less. Approximately half the episodes are a giant flashback to the past that by the time it ends, you forget what the hell was happening. And like the creator's other series' anime adaptation, Air Gear, the series ends before anything serious happens. All the buildup to something big and you get none of it. Unlike Air Gear however, this series' music adds nothing significant and has a lot more supernatural, shounen-like elements. I'd recommend reading the manga if you want a complete story. Just beware that it's just as fanservice-y, if not more in manga form. --Willsun 01:58, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
