Bamboo Blade is the kind of animé you'll wanna watch on a sunday afternoon with your girlfriend if you've gotten tired of what's on TV or just want a break from movies. It's a tad bit girly but being a guy didn't stop me from enjoying this animé. Also, this animé was nice for me to watch since i got a little tired of stories with too much action and a single storyline that is focused on.

The characters are fun and the main character, Tenma, is the complete opposite from the others which creates a really interesting contrast for her in this newly discovered group of Kendo Fans!

My girlfriend loved this animé and we finished the whole series in a week-end which was pretty fun to do! In any case, the story can be a little slow at times but there is a bit of action and a nice thing about this series is that you actually end up hating the antagonist of the main character so in a way, the animé does it's thing in getting you interested in the characters and the story!

In any case, really, the only word i can use to describe this animé is "FUN" and it is definitely better then average. Don't download this and leave it on the side, it's good watching material! (show less)
