+
+They tell me that the Ikki Tousen series ("Dragon Destiny" being the
+second of four seasons, plus some OVAs) is inspired by (or "loosely
+based on") the 14th century Chinese romance / historical novel
+"Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If so, the inspiration didn't go much
+further than "let's have a few groups fighting against each
+other". Instead of broad-sweeping social unrest, political scheming,
+and epic military campaigns, we get high-school girls with some
+magical powers fighting for (I think) the supremacy of their school.
+
+There may be a plot somewhere, or character development, but if so,
+they were completely lost on me. The whole point of the series seems
+to be to expose as much of the girls' skin as possible, and to subject
+them to random violence.
+
+This edition includes 6 short OVAs called "Big Battle At Red Cliffs
+Hot Spring", where the various female characters frolic at a hot
+spring resort without a shred of clothing on.
+
+Character design and animation direction are in the hands of Rin Sin
+(りんしん), who's made some of a name for himself in hentai animation:
+his "talent" is in full display here, in the excessively sexed-up
+bodies of what should be teen-aged high school students, and in the
+minimalist animation to avoid distracting the viewer from the charms
+of those same students.
+
+The director is OOHATA Kouichi (大畑 晃一), whose well deserved claim
+to fame is as mecha designer in well known and well loved works like
+Gunbuster (both the '88 and the '06 OVAs), Gundam ("Char's
+counterattack" of '88), and Macross (the second movie from
+'92). Apparently, though, as a director he prefers the H-side of
+anime: Burst Angel and all the Ikki Tousen but the first season.
+
+If you want to watch buxom girls with shredded clothes punch each
+other, this series is definitely for you. If, on the other hand, you
+like anime that engages your brain, it's safe to say that you'd be
+better off looking somewhere else.
