Flame Of Recca


A cliche story which is rather dull but not completely boring. This anime is not really that great but it can pass as something to watch in your free time. In fact the only parts of the anime that are actually interesting are some of the fighting scenes and the various weapons or attacks. The proverb 'Damsel In Distress' had shown its true meaning in this anime, as the reason for almost all developments in the story is a girl being kidnapped.

The story is about 'Recca' who wants to be a ninja and pledges his service to a girl called 'Yanagi'  who has the ability to heal wounds. Soon Recca finds out that he is a member of an ancient ninja clan and that he can control flames ans use them to fight in the form of dragons. Each of his dragons represented a particular power. The Ninja clan was called the Hokage and its members used special weapons called psychic weapons with different abilities. So the story has the most common plot, in which rich and greedy men try to kidnap Yanagi to use her powers and collect the psychic weapons to grow stronger. Recca and his friends do their best to make sure that peace prevails and that the bad guys don't win, and they do so by challenging them in fighting competitions, etc. So if you like great fighting sequences and slightly dull story lines you can watch this anime.


The drawbacks as I stated before are the uninspiring plot, the old and slightly poor animation and the frequent poor jokes along with the stretched episodes.

I give it a 6/10. Its not a bad pass time.
