Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny To Be Animated

[LittleVexy]

One page adverts making the rounds in Japanese magazines have spilled the beans on a new Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny TV animation. Broadcast is set through AT-X from the end of February, 2007. Terrestrial broadcast will follow in the spring.

An official website has launched concurrent with the start of the publishing campaign: www.ikkitousen.com. Confirmed staff on the anime include: Original Story by Yuji Shiozaki, Direction by Koichi Ohata, Screenplay by Takao Yoshioka and Character Designs / Chief Animation Direction by Rin Shin. Animation Production by Arms, Production by Genco and Ikkitousen DD Partners.

Confirmed cast include: Masumi Asano - Hakufu Sonsaku, Eri Kitamura - Myousai Kakuen, Hajime Iijima - Gakushuu, Hitomi Nabatame - Unchou Kan'u, Kei Shindou - Gentoku Ryuubi.

Ikki Tousen (一騎当千) or "Bakunyu" Hyper-Battle Ikki Tōsen is a 13 episode anime series loosely based on the manga by Yuji Shiozaki.

The series is known for being full of fan service, much of it concerning the main character, Hakufu, who fights in short skirts and dresses, in addition to numerous other ecchi scenes.

The TV series ran on AT-X from July 30, 2003 to October 22, 2003, and its license is held by Enoki Films. The whole series has been licensed by Geneon Entertainment (USA) Inc. for the North America market, and is available on four separate DVDs.

The manga is released in English by TOKYOPOP under the title Battle Vixens, which has nothing at all to do with the original title or with the manga itself. The official German title is Dragon Girls, while in France is called Ikkitousen. More at: ANS & Wiki

(It is described here: http://www.ikkitousen.com/goods_dvd.html)

It seems DVD has a lot of promotional material, as well as manga.Â

Now all we need is somebody to fansub this.Â

*ahem*

After watching the Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny Promotion Video from the DVD... Well, I was quite suprised... I know they going for the ecchiness in this anime, and a lot of ecchiness as possible... But! I I did not think there were this much of ecchiness!!

There were lots of panties shots by the way... Almost every time they showed a girl (and everybody is a girl) there was a pantie shot. There were also, a lot of naked girls with exposed bosoms. Appereantly, girl's clothes rip too easily in a heated combat. Especially in a chest area...

The question of is the upper body nudity present only in the promotional video because it will sell anime on a sex appeal, or is nudity also in the anime series itself...?

I can't seem the find the raw of the first episode.. so I don't know. It would be interesting to find out.

Either way, the promotional video is the extreme to which you can take ecchiness. (They did not even used any censors, or try to concial anything, I was about to mistaken this for hentai).

Sounds like a "two thumbs up" series for me. . I also await for the first fansub.
