Kendo has never been this moe before!
The story begins with Toraji Ishida, the advisor of the kendo club, making a bet that he can gather a team of five girls that would win his friend’s team in kendo. But he’s facing a big problem: there’s only one active member in the club, Kirino Chiba. What they need is four more girls skilled at kendo. Luckily they find Tamaki Kawazoe, a girl whose father runs a kendo dojo. If they’d get her to their side, other girls would definitely join the club as well. She isn’t interested because Kendo is just a chore for her. After she sees some juniors from the club bullying a freshman who just joined, she announces temporary membership and joins the club.
Bamboo Blade is another of those animes that focuses on members of some school club. Unlike Umisho, which got boring after several episodes, Bamboo Blade offers something different which is kendo. The characters are really cute and look amazing in kendo gear!
Kirino seems pretty silly in cute and funny way and Tamaki is quiet and reserved. I really love her type of characters! I’m looking forward to more characters getting introduced soon.
I’m not very familiar with kendo. I know a bit about the rules but that’s all about it. There wasn’t big fighting scenes in the first episode, but I’m hoping to see these cute girls kick ass. That would be wonderful!
