I know this is two weeks later than I had intended to post this review but I had a good reason.

THIS SERIES SUCKS

I tried, I waited for additional episodes to come out so I could say it was only the first few episodes but really Souten Kouro is so terrible I can say it would have been better to just make a series based off Dynasty Warriors and not pass of this series based loosely on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms(“based loosely”, read: unrelated). The intro animation gave me the impression there would be some really epic stuff going down and instead I get the pokemon of historical anime. Maybe I was spoiled by Viper’s Creed and expected anime with action to actually have action in the series and not just the OP.  The hatred I have for this series is only saved by the fact that I cannot give it a score lower than 1. I’d give it a negative five if I could. I tried, but five episodes in and I have not seen anything worthy of praise other than the  horribly misleading OP. I’m not even sure I can mention the ED because of the group doing it, because having a vulgar word in your bandname makes you that much more classy right?

The OP depicted this epic sized battle in the first few seconds, and when you add in the track “909″ by Tribal Chair which happened to add to the epic feel. And then five episodes later and the most you see is Cao Cao playing sheriff. Madhouse really lost out on this. If there is a fanbase for this series I certainly cannot see eye to eye with them on this. Sorry fans, but you and I are at a loss for understanding…all three of you. And Granted there is a lot of bad anime out, it seems madhouse had to take one for the team and put this out there for all to see. Better luck next time I suppose. But right now we have the horrible Souten Kouro. I never want to see this again.

I Rokth, give this a 1 out of 5. I’m watching some Viper’s Creed, that is a series that can delever.
