I am so darn pumped for this season of anime! If you don’t follow anime closely that’s cool. I’m going to link each show to it’s respective Anime Planet page. Quick disclaimer! Anime Planet is my JAM!
Not only is it visually appealing (unlike some other sites) it’s crazy extensive! So when I link a show to it’s page poke around! There are places for recommendations, manga list, shows by topic, shows by genre, shows by specific voice actors! It’s really cool. But enough gushing! On to the shows!!!
Now, originally I drafted this post before the Winter 2018 season started but blogging wasn’t in my heart so I shelved it. BUT NOW I AM BACK AND I AM READY FOR THIS!

So what anime am I about to jump into?

These maidens were known as Tojis. They are a special task force within the police.

Though they mostly live normal school lives, if they are given a mission, they take their Okatana and unleash their powers, fighting to protect the people. This spring, the top Tojis from five schools across the country have been gathered for a customary tournament where they will use their abilities and fight for the top position. As the many Tojis trained and prepared for the upcoming tournament, there was one girl who was even more determined than the others on improving her swordsmanship.
