About Clockwork Fighters Hiwou's War

Clockwork Fighters Hiwou's War (機巧奇傳 ヒヲウ戦記) arrives as an action anime by bones (2000), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: 8 years ago, Western Civilization visited 19th century Japan. Mechanized dolls and new steam-powered creations began spreading throughout the country.

From there, the Wind Gang is a group of doll and steam users who believe in using their creations to violently bring about a new Industrial Era. They attack and destroy the peaceful village of a young doll user named Hiwou one day. Hiwou and his friends escape with a giant doll named Homura.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Hiwou (Houko Kuwashima) and Machi (Kaori Mizuhashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
