This review concerns season one of Hakkenden. The subtitle is "Eight Dogs of the East" and you bet that there's something to do with dogs. However, there's only one dog on the show. What's with this? Well, the dog is referring to the names of the characters. Selected characters have "inu" meaning dog in their surnames suggesting a connection between all of them. The supposed eight characters have met some of them at one point and share the same birthmark on their bodies. All of them have died once and live once again due to supernatural intervention.

The anime is basen on the manga by Abe Miyuki, who is mostly a shounen-ai author. It shows - Hakkenden is filled with bishounens and very slashable. The animation is great, as is character design - the anime is really nice to watch.

The story is interesting, the plot unique. I can't tell what will happen and I'm very interested to find out.

As I know the Hakkenden manga, I'm unhappy about the choice of the main character's seiyuu. The boy is supposed to look feminine, enough to be taken for a pretty little girl (even when his hair is short), (read more)

Hakkeden ,, This is good anime but if you are going to ignore the following that fine with you .


1. Story , the story does not makes sense because they as you know Shino and Suoske live in church before they moved to Satomi Mansion and yet you see some scene it's more Gay than its love, and you wonder where is their faith is going to lead them. ^_^



2. Evil Side , I know its too early to say if this Anime did not makes any Evil Strong character like Seiran and do some long arc the people will the interest to watch this anime.

I think this anime promises to be a very interesting anime. There are a lot of characters here, the main characters having supernatural powers (not uncommon in an anime) but their different and unique qualities is what makes this anime very entertaining. The storyline is awesome and I really can't wait until the next episode. I'm really looking forward to watching this anime. Highly recommended..
