Hell, it is Ikkitousen so double E's wouldn't of been a bad idea.


But that would have been taking a step down from double Gs.

Urgh, they must be making alot of money off of those figures.

I actually liked the story for the first series and the second series was ok, but what little I saw of the third one was terrible.

I hope it has more nudity than Great Guardians. Other than that, Ikki Tousen is a pretty worthless franchise and I find most of the characters to be insufferable or completely devoid of character.

There's only a few hundred figures, no big deal. Ikki Tousen's problem is that not all of the figures are decent quality, some are downright awful.

Hey, bigger isn't better. I think the atrocity that is Double G's should be proof. So, actually, Double E's could be a step up. It's at least better than XX which looks really dumb now that I know what it stands for.

Another Ikkitousen... better get watching the prequels I haven't yet. Huge boobs and ecchi content here I come. Now, that's the good stuff!


Same here. Despite people bashing the first season, i like it a lot though that narrator was really annoying. Gonna get dragon destiny and great guardians as well as to complete the Battle Vixens manga. Hopefully this one will get licensed as well as it's manga counterpart

I was just thinking to myself the other day if Ikki Tousen would get another series.

I wonder if those poor girls have finally located a store that sells clothing that doesn't shred in the first few seconds of combat. I'm thinking probably not. Razz

Oh come on Blood-. We all know Queen's Blade is much worse when it comes to cheap clothing.

Can't argue that. Razz They could've easily gone for a hat-trick too, if there was no double G and something like Furious Fighters was used next. And then there's Awesome Avengers, Battle Babes, the possibilities are endless!

I hope they wait to see how S2 and S3 sell first, though.

I don't know who the girl with the neck tie is, but I'm pretty sure her neck is broken. Or maybe she's a reincarnated owl? Either way her head is turned way beyond normal range of motion, it's practically backwards.

But then again, I guess people aren't really spending much time looking above the shoulders... Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

You sure pay attention to unnecessary details don't you? Wink

No, no. Actually, I was looking right at her shoulders, where her uniform seems to be ripped. But no, no success so far.

lol, well it is a fanservice show. But I liked the intensity of the fight scenes and the drama in the first one. It's been going downhill from there but eh, that's ok. I always laughed off the panty shots and I doubt I'll watch the fourth season.

Yeah some of those figures make bootlegged fakes look ok by comparison.
