selecting one of three factions in the beginning surely makes it each of them have their own central event, to make it clearly, by choosing one faction, we cant getz a gurls from another two main factions and for Shoku route, the Yellow Turban Rebels is not a main incident but South barbarian instead.įor me, picking Shoku faction first is a must. This time, the story runs with lots of surprising stuff.

Uhm, okay, maybe that last one wasn’t humorous, but I wouldn’t mind more of it either. But most importantly, don’t forget the laughs! Who gives a shit about the impoverished boy whose house is going to be repoed by unscrupulous brigands? Give me more mysterious female heroines in “ unrecognizable” disguise! More wacky misunderstandings! More hip-revealing skirts!.But when’s the last time you laughed at a joke that was all setup and no punch line? There’s no need to copy the heavy storyline from the historical novel, and the anime has wisely stayed away from it, yet in the end, if Koihime Musou‘s characters don’t evolve and change over the course of its 12 episodes, I’ll have to consider it a failure no matter what else took place, or how entertaining Zhuge Loliang’s antics were. So far nothing of importance has happened in the world of Koihime Musou except the Tigresses meeting other Tigresses or other Three Kingdoms-era warriors and characters. Or at least a plot more fleshed out than “faffing about from town to town”. On the other hand, a storyline would be nice too.A whole chibi episode might even (gasp) turn out to be not terrible at all. Remember, the focus is on light-hearted campy entertainment, so I won’t begrudge the show its chibi moments. Hell, I’m pretty sure the bit where Zhang Fei’s trying to read the announcement and Ma Chao comes up behind her and reads it to her were the exact same frames used the first time too! Who spent all the animation budget on coke and whores? But in episode 07 the exact same plot point is used again to introduce Xu Zhu.
Paradoxically: it’s only episode 07, stop reusing the same devices! The first contest between Zhang Fei and Ma Chao - with its hilarious announcer who blabs commentary into a wooden spoon in lieu of a microphone, this being 3rd-century China after all - was a nifty twist in storytelling that recast the two’s historical duel as a lighthearted “martial arts” competition and subsequent beauty pageant.When will this end? Is this the series’s sole ambition, introducing a bunch of sexy females in colorful non-existent clothing who twat around? Let’s stop the flood of new faces and focus on the ones you managed to make me care about! (I’m sure there are many, many yuri fanboys who watch Koihime Musou for masturbation material and don’t mind the tits parade, but just like them, the window of opportunity for introducing new characters has come and moved on by now, I believe.)
Yet here we are, in the second half of the show’s life, and we’re again bombarded by two new characters, with many more whose introduction remains (the Wu girls, for example).
