About Lime-iro Senkitan

Lime-iro Senkitan (らいむいろ戦奇譚) blends comedy, ecchi and mecha by Studio Hibari (2003). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Around the the 37th year of the Meiji Era (1904) in the midst of the Russo-Japanese war, the small Japanese army, in need of assistance, uses its special flying (thanks to a benevolent demon) ship, the Amanohara. Umakai Shintaro, a Russian diplomat originally from Japan, defects and goes to Sapporo to teach at a girls academy.

Beyond that: However, that girls academy is not typical - it is on board the Amanohara, and the five girls Shintaro teaches are known as the Raimu Unit - girls with the ability to summon powerful beings to struggle for them. Shintaro eventually turns into their teacher and general in clash, and so the six embark on a weird and excessively erotic adventure, as Shintaro helps the girls overcome their weaknesses.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Momen Sanada (Ai Shimizu) and Asa Katou (Kaoru Sasajima) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
