Samurai Girls

2010–2013 · 2 seasons

A breezy, silly action-comedy full of fan-service and schoolyard rebellion, easy to dip into and forget.

Overview: The story takes place in Japan in the early 21st century, in an alternate reality where the Tokugawa Shogunate has remained in power. In this reality, student councils are tasked with oppressing schools. Yagyuu Muneakira is a high school student who rebels against his student council with the help of girls who've had the names of famous samurai heroes passed on to them.
How it feels: Light, absurd, romantic and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.

Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
