Not a secret: I love Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Also not a secret: Ikkitousen used to be the most hilarious high school AU of said RotK, albeit 90% gratuitous T&A. But then the manga retconned most of itself, and the second anime jumped a shark! ... Which the third anime then
punched in the face!
But okay, so what is the point of this trip down memory lame?
Why that would be the fourth anime, set to launch in a few weeks: Xtreme Xecutor.
Promo!WHAT I DON'T HATE ABOUT IT: Rikuson showed up. For a whole two seconds. She hasn't added anything to either of the two animes she was in before (Dragon Destiny and Great Guardians), but I have to live in hope that one day Japan will remember her gay crush on Ryomou and animate her leaping into Ryomou's boobs.
But everything else is shit! I don't even know what is the worst part: That I know Sonken will be returning (HA HA HA what), or that
Ten'i is somehow alive and well. If I had to pick right this minute though, I would pick Ten'i and here is why:
( spoilers I guess )And with that said I will wind up watching this anyway. My lust for how bad this series can actually hate itself is shameful, yes, but also a trainwreck from which I can never quite pull away.
