Samurai Girls

Muneakira Yagyu is a samurai with a special gift: He can turn hot young girls into master samurai warriors just by kissing them. Naturally, the scantily clad ladies are soon lining up to lock lips with him, but they quickly learn there’s more to his gift than meets the eye. This 12-episode anime series is a nice blend of comedy and action, with more than a little gratuitous nudity thrown in for good measure. The story — which eventually evolves into a battle of good vs. evil for control of Japan — starts out strong but feels a bit rushed as the story progresses and the ultimate plot is revealed. The artwork, though, which combines beautiful water color illustrations with cutting edge animation, is beautiful enough to fill in any gaps in the plot.
