About Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko

Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko (Toji no Miko) arrives as an action anime by Studio Gokumi (2018), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Throughout history, an elite group of shrine maidens known as "Toji" have saved the world from "Aratama," strange and malevolent beings bent on destroying humanity. In modern times, these warriors have been assigned to a special police squad to exterminate Aratama.

Soon after, the government has also set up five elite schools across the country to provide young girls the necessary sword fighting skills to eradicate these monsters and eventually join their fellow Toji in protecting the realm. A learner of one of those five schools, Kanami Etou is chosen to represent Minoseki Academy in a sword fighting tournament, where she runs into the unexplained Hiyori Juujou. Although Kanami and Hiyori rise to the top of the tournament, their clash takes a sudden turn, throwing the world of the Toji into chaos.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
