Synopsis

There's an evil creature called Aratama that attacks people, and a group of Miko has been exorcising those creatures using swords since olden times. Those who wear uniforms and swords are called Toji, who are officially called Tokubetsu Saishi Kitoutai (Special Ritual Maneuver Team) in the police association. They are officially approved to wield the swords by the government officials. The government has established five training schools consisting of junior and senior high levels for the female students to attend. They spend their student life normally, and use special skills with the swords when they're doing missions to protect people. In the spring, these five schools are to take part in a competition. Among the girls who train for the competition, there's a girl who's a bit more passionate than any other girls. Where would the girl with the sword aim?

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Tweekums This anime series is set in a world where certain shrine maidens, Toji, are trained to battle strange beings known as 'Aradama'. To this end they are permitted to carry swords and trained at five special academies. Once a year the academies compete against each other. After certain events at one such competition two such girls, Kanami and Hiyori, go on the run and are pursued by other Toji. As the series progresses they learn more about the Aradama; notably how certain powerful people are doing things that could cause more powerful ones to appear. Ultimately they, and other Toji must face dangerous foes.This is one of many anime series were groups of young fighters are trained to fight a mysterious foe but seem to spend more time battling each other because of higher-ups with sinister motives. It contains plenty of action which is fairly exciting, unfortunately the plot seemed a bit of a mess... so much so that the catch-up episode was actually worth watching as it reminded me of details I seem to have missed or completely forgotten. Perhaps it will be better now viewers can watch several episodes at a time rather than having to wait a week between episodes. The characters were okay although most aren't all that memorable... I did like the design of the ultimate villain though. Overall I'm not sure I'd recommend this to anybody apart from fans of the genre.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
