Flame of Recca – Series Review

Posted by Rednights on Oct 21, 2008 in Flame of Recca

Becoming a ninja is just a childhood dream for sixteen-year-old Recca, until a fateful encounter reveals he has inherited ninja powers, including the ability to wield fire! As Recca learns to master the ancient ways of his ancestors, he is drawn to protect a mysterious girl named Yanagi …

The story is simple, even getting simpler if you could imagine that, as it turns into nothing more than 30 episodes of arena style fighting. Yes, you read correctly, 30 episodes devoted to a single fighting tournament. Sure there is character development here and there and once in a while an actual legit story about old feuding clans leading to present day events, but overall you really don’t care, for all you want to see is great fighting.
