Good news it's nice to see the Ikkitousen anime is still ongoing, though from my understanding there isn't alot of material for Shin so i'm wondering if this is a short series or OVA, good news all the same though.

It's time for a rewatch ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

Yes! Yes! Yes! It's alive.

Well, I hope it lasts a little longer than Extravaganza Epoch. But it's great.

Shin Ikkitousen story confirmed?

God. I get total the nostalgic alert...xD It's like phoenix of the ashe rise, finally I can Hakufu and others with their beloved cast see and hear (I do hope it, that the original cast return, otherwise I'd be huge dissapointed...>.<!!!).

Ahh, how wonderful that some franchases of your youth time, where you loved and still loving, still alive!!! Just...

I'd very love if even Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear their fucked deserved sequel get would, it has been ages since at that time!

Damn that OVA was 4 years ago. Can't wait to see Unchou Kan'u again!

This is great news. It's been so long. I thought this show was dead.

So weird that this is still going, the first season was the best, the rest felt like one big filler, well mb that's just not the point for watching this, but still. I guess it still has its audience.

Best news I've heard in a while.

this franchise needs a remake and adapt the manga from start to finish already

i like how sexy the characters are especially the dark/morena girl

Wow, this franchise is somehow still alive. I remember it years ago but at this rate, it'll probably just be more and more OVA episodes in the future.

Hopefully the newer season will be better than the recent seasons, at least quality of first season.

Need me some more Hakafu Sonsaku, Housen Ryofu, Unchou Kan'u, Myousai Kakouen, and Shimei Ryomou

dude, as much as I like this anime, since I love the first season, I have to say that this fucking thing is that neither "to love-ru" is bad, but there is always a new season. The first season is super cool, kind of bad, but cool, the other seasons are horrible, boring, confusing, and the design has already changed about 2 or 3 times, I do not know, dude, for me, just in the first season. The rest is annoying, I tortured myself to see the latest release of "Xtreme Xecutor". I really hope this season is not shit like the previous ones, except for the first one that is really fun

Lucky me. I'm about to start this series next anyway.

Sep 28, 2018 11:10 PM by Tarotist

Yes, it seems the most underrated girl Ekitoku will finally have bigger role.

looks very ecchi, IM IN

Sep 28, 2018 10:31 PM by shiteru

I read on ANN that it'll be an adaptation on Shin Ikkitousen. Well, I can handle both. The saviour of anime cames again.

Good news

Extravaganza Epoch did not have full ending. So I am happy that they will finish it.

Sep 28, 2018 9:18 PM by thepath

Yeah I don't like this series at all that much... so, I'm most likely going to skip it. xsx
