A new shoujo-ai series Kannaduki no Miko!

Post by angelx03 » Sun Nov 14, 2004 9:31 am

Synopsis in Anime News Network wrote:The highborn Himemiya Chikane is cool and aloof, the perfect young lady of good breeding. Kurusegawa Himeko is devoted to her, and secretly her friend. Their lives are undisturbed in their school, until an ancient evil suddenly rears its head. To combat it, Chikane and Himeko must take on the roles of shrine maidens of the Moon and Sun.

I've seen the first 6 episodes of this series on fansubs, and it's actually pretty good. There seems to be a love triangle present in this series which deals with Chikane, Himeko, and Himeko's childhood male friend Souma; guess which two I'm rooting for? :wink:

There are two things that sort of bothered me. The mecha battles Souma has to go through against some downright lame enemies (except for that bishounen enemy who has a relation with Souma) seem VERY out of place in this series; it usually involved Chikane and Himeko being the "damsels-in-distresses" inspite the fact that Souma must protect those two maidens. So yes, there's an angsty bishounen in the series (plus a few others) so fangirls won't feel left out when watching it.

Oh yeah, the opening song AND the ending song is sung by KOTOKO which unbeliveably rocked! :D

Hot screencaps are here and here!

A friend of mine recently discovered the series...though she isn't much of a shoujo/shonen-ai fan, she recommended it to me.

She did mention that she liked the music, though, and she played the opening for me. It was definitely great.

Now I just have to see the show for myself.

I honestly couldn't get into it...it seemed like they tried to mix everything in most current popular anime, and jam it into one show (cute school girls, evil forces from another world, unrequited love, giant battle robots, shoujo ai, hidden powers in the stars of the show, and a few uber sexah bad-girls), the first episode was all over as it was rushed (in an effort to pull in viewers fast?)... it was just a little cliche for me, i think there is so much anime to choose from now, your bound to get a little repetative, but i hope for better...
