Summary: {MAL}During Japan's feudal era, there was a war between two ninja clans: the Byakuro and the Kabusu. One night, the Kabusu staged a fierce attack on the Byakuro castle in hopes of kidnapping the clan's infant princess. Their mission was foiled when a loyal ninja of the Byakuro flees the attack with the princess and disappears, eventually raising her to be a ninja. Several years later, six ninja trainees are given a mission to infiltrate the Kabusu-occupied Byakuro castle and retrieve a sacred scroll to complete their training. But their skills are put to the test when they encounter three members of the Kabusu, who use dark sorcery in an attempt to once again capture the princess - who happens to be one of the trainees.
How it is.......
The only reason this show gets a C is, I wish there were more episodes. It's REALLY incomplete and left me with too many questions...
Really, above states it all... the six students going on their first mission get attacked by members of the Kabusu clan who are still going after the Princess. They aren't entirely sure which girl in the princess, only going by the fact she has a scar on her shoulder or was it her back? I don't entirely remember.
Anyways, the characters were pretty much...cliches. Matsuri, is the hot bodied, fighter chick who is afraid of frogs: Hayashi, the quiet guy who gets bossed around by Matsuri and is talented in his own right: Pochi, the relatively useful yet young guy who hangs around Sakura: Sakura, the sword wielding, main character type girl: Kaoru, the dependable, older looking male of the bunch who is supposed to be the protecting the princess at all costs and Yume, the relatively useless, quiet girl who seems to be a better cook then anything.
Nothing new there.
The bad guys believe Sakura is the princess and with her use of the scrolls that they were going to get at the Byakuro Castle, who knows.. she just might be. Yume and Kaoru are made into slaves by the main female Kabusu ninja {her name escapes me}, using some sort of spell to force the two to fight the other four and help them capture Sakura. Which fails.
Kaoru is not actually under the spell of course, just faking it to stay close to Yume who he seems to think is the Princess. Uhg, I am not really sure which one is the Princess. Sakura or Yume are both pretty obvious, but it would be a real shocker if it were Matsuri...Nah.
The end is just the four students dragging themselves out of the rubble of what was once the Byakuro castle. Yume, Kaoru and the bad guys are all gone and......
Nice Start.
Too bad there's not more.
