While I've enjoyed a long Birthday weekend, this show popped up on the usual sites. While the show doesn't air officially until October, it was "pre-aired" on MX. Aside from helpings of fanservice and ink blots that cloud the screen, I was pleasantly surprised that the music was enjoyable. Tatsuya Katou is at the helm musically, as the only credits of his I've seen are Qwaser and Phantom Requiem. Aside from the music, ARMS does a pretty good job with some stylish animation. Although seeing that Samurai Girls is Hobby Japan's "40th Anniversary Project", and that fact that ARMS animated Queen's Blade, makes me think the series is in competent boo.. er hands.
A quick overview of the story is a Japanese right wingers wet dream:
"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."
The show seems enjoyable enough to follow come October, even if it's just for the soundtrack.
