A swordfight story taking place in Edo era (17th - 19th century). Yasuri Shichika is the seventh head of the Kyotou school of Japanese sword martial arts and lives in Fushou Island with his sister Nanami. With the order from a female samurai general Togame, he sets out for a trip to collect the twelve treasured swords created by a legendary swordsmith Shikizaki Kiki.
------------------------------------------------

After unexpected success of Bakemonogatari, now anime studios looking to adapt another novel series penned by NisiOisin into anime which is this one. However this time, no Shaft and Shinbo. Interesting synopsis but some of my friends don't really liked the novel. Haven't read the novel so I can't give more comments on Katanagatari.

'unexpected success'

... I kinda see that coming, though, but not as far as how successful it is now.

Anyway, let's see how's this going to be. Although I seriously can't expect things to be as good as other stuff we had going on...

hmm, it's not really unexpected. I mean it what the industry needed at teh time. But I don't think Katanagari will be the same. For one this is not illustrated by Vofan, so the moe factor is lacking in the design itself (it's done by Take). Another thing is this looks more serious, instead of the tounge in cheek humour of Bakemonogatari.

for me I am looking forward to it. but will it acheive the same height as Bakemono? I doubt it

Reason why I say unexpected because the competition is pretty strong with likes of Mac Frontier and moeblob K-On!, yet Bakemonogatari dominance in sales certainly surprised many people.

Hence my usage of "unexpected success".

I maybe far from Malaysia in near future but my spirit is still here. Hehehehe. And I will continue to recommend good series to watch, nothing like knowing people are happy because they watch a good series thanks to me. rclxms.gif

13 episode X 24 mins is a lot of time. Might as well spend it wisely. You can't never get back your time no matter who you are.

The hero came from the school that did not use swords.

Story is like this the Shogun won the war with help of 1000 special blades forged by a famous blacksmith. He recovered 988 of them but the other 12 were lost. His ninja betrayed him when they found one of the sacred sword because it is so powerful. So is another sword saint that he sent due to same reason as his ninjas. The blades were so special and powerful that martial artists found them irresistible.

So one day, Togame, female general of Shogun assigned this quest to the siblings since they are last survivors of the dying art of no sword. Her reasoning is since they don't use sword, they will not be seduced by the sword's power like the rest so they will able to complete the quest. in fact she offered her own body as a reward if the hero completed the task.

stormy: what studio? If its not shaft/shinbo then I think I can be relieved that there won't be any still frames in the middle of some navel-gazing dialogue.
