Bamboo Blade 26
The Muroe Kendo Club is now Dan The Man's harem!
Totali's already written a great summary so not much add here.
I was pretty surprised that the two newbies were the younger siblings of the two troublemakers. I was thinking that Shinobu sounded just like Aika from ARIA and it was indeed Chiwa Saito. LOL
And shokku that Yoshikawa-sensei married Ishibashi-sensei! 0_0
Dan maybe the new Club Captain but the ancien regime won't disappear anytime soon!
Hmmm... whenever the anime standard for yuri couple with a kid is probably the best thing from StrikerS: Nanoha x Fate with Vivio.
I was slightly surprised that there was no doramaz about convincing Ishida to come back and slightly disappointed that Miya Miya didn't have to do Reimi any erm... favours to get the former's mom off Toraji's back. LOL at Ishibashi having a similar incident with the Evil Mom.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series even though I was not impressed at all by the premise and did not plan to pick it up at all. But I was influenced by Kurogane and I'm glad I was: a rare case where all the girls in the cast were interesting, likeable and significant characters in their own right who also interacted with each in a thoroughly believable and fun way. Thanks, Kuro!

Chiwa Saito’s voice is impossible to miss for me.
I was slightly disappointed that Reimi only got a split second of screen time in the last episode…..starry eyes FTW

Surprise surprise! Yoshikawa ended with someone else, despite the hints dangled during the series proper. Then again, with Ishida walking off into the sunset for about a year, it’s probably best this way.
By the way, just how much of the last part is anime-only?

Yuuji… no one did less with more.
As long as it isn’t like Okawari, I want a sequel. Bring out Bamboo BladeS!!!

Good point about Yuuji. But one of the strengths of the series is that it’s hard to point to anyone as *THE* MVP because everyone had their moment of crucial importance. A rare real team anime!
LOL, Bamboo Blade: BraverS!
