The “Budokan Genre” has always been temperamental when it comes to its series, garnering mixed feelings with its different adaptations. However, it’s never even fun watching them anymore ever since Sumomomo Momomo ended… until now.
Asu No Yoichi combines some of the routine but effective factors in the past series, and combines them with a dash of harem elements to liven up the mood. Now, I wouldn’t really say anything about the “effective” part. What caught me in Sumomomo caught me again here, so you can say it’s a preference. But hey, it’s a good show, and almost everybody agrees to that bit. Typical start of main character on some mountain province? Check! Kung Fu? Personal harem? Check! Boobs, “accidents” and panty shots?! Check!! Lolis, OR SO YOU THINK?! Check!! BDSM MARTIAL ARTS PRACTITIONERS!?! CHECK!!! Any aspect of a series that’s Sumomomo incarnate, you can find it in here. And I’m having fun with Asu No Yoichi the same way as I had fun with Sumomomo. With that in account, I think I don’t need to specify any material type since both of their manga sources speak for their anime counterparts and vice-versa.
