A young boy named Ryuunosuke returns to Kyoto with his youkai Nekomaru. Because of a new law youkai has to be registered in order to live as equals with humans. The Kidou Shinsengumi squad is responsible for capturing unlicensed youkai and bringing them to the town’s office for registration. The first member of the Kidou Shinsengumi we encounter is Kondou Yuuko. She chases after an unlicensed kappa, but when she was about to let him go because she pitied him she was interrupted by the International Youkai Protection Group – Tsubame Squad. The Tsubame Squad consists of three members: Saotome Miki and her two henchmen: Tanaka Ukon and Suzuki Sakon. They claim to be fighting for the rights of youkai, but in fact they are trying to win over youkai’s trust so they can become most powerful organisation in Japan. While Miki and Kondou quarrel, the kappa escapes. Miki and her gang chases after the kappa, but couldn’t find him because Ryuunosuke helped the kappa. Ryuunosuke tells the kappa to go home and was seen by Kondou. She sighs and tells him the next time he sees an unlicensed youkai to bring it to the town’s office for registration. Kondou returns to the Kidou Shinsengumi’s headquarters were we meet the other squad members:
- Fujika Tashie --> weapon: gun
- Okita-san --> weapon: Four Paper Gods
- Gandai-san --> inventor of useless weapons and silly things, also an excellent cook
- Oryou-san --> the president of Kidou Shinsengumi and also Ryuunosuke’s mother, revealed at the end of this episode.
Ryuunosuke goes to Kidou Shinsengumi’s headquarters to look for his mother, but he was mistaken for a peeper by Kondou and had to flee.
Meanwhile the Tsubame Squad summons Oogappa, the Giant Frogman, and tells him that the Kidou Shinsengumi squad captured one of his kind. Oogappa enraged and went to Kyoto to attack the city. The Kidou Shinsengumi squad came in action, but fails to stop Oogappa. In the end the kappa from before appears and explains everything to Oogappa. Oogappa leaves Kyoto and Ryuunosuke and his mother reunite.
Hahaha….this series is so “corny”. Everything from Miki’s phoney laugh till the Kidou Shinsengumi squad’s silly poses and introduction (not to mention the background music) is incredibly corny and very Sailormoon-like. Furthermore, the technology they have is inconsistent with the Meiji Restoration. Bazookas, television, youkai alarm……how is that possible?
Anyway, the first episode wasn’t very impressive, fans of Ranma ½ and Inuyasha might recognise the character designs. It’s not really my taste, but I’ve seen worse. The opening and ending music is so-so and very standard. I’ll give it a few more episodes. Let’s just hope it won’t turn into a harem-anime – one guy living with four young women…..sounds familiar?
