I think it's called Real Bout High School. And I'm curious. Anyone seen it?

No, I haven't seen it. Sorry. Around here the only anime we see is mostly DBZ (which I can't stand) other than that you'd have to look REALLY HARD to get to anything else.

Yeah it's the Samurai Girl TV series. It's a pretty generic series that blatantly rips off characters and moves from popular fighting games. The most notable rip off is Shizuma Kusanagi who is a direct copy of Kyo Kusanagi... and I mean direct! all they did is just re color him with an ugly yellow head band, dark skin, and blue hair. It's just about a japanese highschool that holds fighting tournaments and centers on the champion... Ryoko who is the typical cute anime chick who can kick anyone's ass. As it progresses there are more rip off characters like a guy who's a direct copy of Orochi.... but the animation quality is decent, the art is good, and the fight scenes aren't too bad. It's a pretty short series at 13 episodes... so it's not a total waste of time, there's better shows out there though.

Seen it. Generic stuff, crappy ending. If you're going to watch it though, just see volume 2. The rest you can skip.

I agree, I got volume #1 and almost fell asleep from lack of interest. Originally I confused this with the manga by Oh Great!, and thought it was made into anime. Not realizing there was a Real Bout High School manga. The manga seemed way more interesting, and didn't drift off into the fantasy world like the anime did. I recommend the anime out by Tokyo Pop. Go to Border, Barnes & Noble, or Mediaplay, there you can read some of it in the store.

I bought the first vol. of the anime and have the first 4 vol. of the manga. The manga is much better. I don't understand if the anime takes place after the manga or what. There are a lot of animes that should be more directly based on the mangas. In any case, I only watched the first vol. of the anime once, I didn't hate it, but it clearly didn't blow my mind either. I may get the rest of it.

In any case, watch Rurouni Kenshin (TV series) and Love Hina, they are good for you.

The anime is a separate story from the manga. The whole Solvania thing was something Gonzo(the studio who produced this) cooked up so they could make everything all flashy.

And yes, the manga is better. The wait for volume 5 is killing me.

Yes, the comic is 10x greater, especially since it's done by Inoue Sora. I liked the original comic done a while back too.

The anime is more closely based off the novel version, which I didn't like, mainly because it got too sci-fi-ish. If the story didn't ruin the anime, it was Gotoh. His character designs are getting old, plus big eyes don't fit well with cool girls. Well, I'm not a Gotoh fan anyways (die Gotoh!!)...

I don't see Kusanagi being that much a rip of Kyo. If anything, closer to Mizoguchi (FH) or Sendo (Hajime no Ippo). You want a rip? How bout One-Tea's Kusanagi K'? :P

Nope, it doesn't really resemble Rival Schools any... since all the fighting is done at the same school... not different schools competing against eachother. Although the sports teams do get involved in the fighting so that's kind of Rival School-ish. Like it was said though, the show takes a sci-fi twist after the first couple episodes and becomes one of those save the world from the evil forces kind of show.

oh and I love Colorful! I wouldn't consider it a series since it's just a bunch of shorts... but that first episode is still one of the funniest things I've seen in anime "ELLLLLLLL" "ARRRRRRR" too bad you'll never see Colorful outside of fansubs though.

That's interesting... It's such a short series so it should really only take up one tape/dvd.
