Definitely worth watching if you can spare the time. Great series. Haven't read the manga.

I second the recommendation.

The figure looks accurate; their heads in the show are also larger than their headgear :J

A nice figure overall!  The hair seems to be matted in places but I don't know if it was intentional (sweaty hair?) or if it was paint blotting.

I like the simple yet effective detail of the kendo outfit.  It's a nice touch, there aren't many kendo outfitted figures out there.

Bamboo Blade girls cheered my life up during its heavier times. Don't want to hype the series so I'll just stop at that. ^^

Bamboo Bladed is a good show. Lots of interesting and funny characters. Though the ending may leave you wondering if there is going to be a second season.

I think the animated Tama chan is cuter ^^ Bamboo blade was actually not bad, not sure if I liked the ending tho :P but the series itself is good, some unpredictable bits and bobs ^^

Tama-Chan~

I remember I wasn't exactly a big fan of her when the series started out, but close to the middle of the season when she had to take care of that shop, my mind changed!  She was just perfect.  I really like her character and voice actor, hell I watch Kyouran Kazoku Nikki just because the VA is in it.

Overall the series is pretty good and enjoyable, although, I don't really the ending.

The figure is nice and detail. If I have extra $$$, I would get it >.<

yatta, my dream has been answered. finally figure on bamboo blade

its a really good uplifting anime, do pick up if you have the chance to. it always make my day end with a smile.

also like the art in the anime, the soft light effect on the kendo club..bla ba la ba la...

about the ending, its a realistic ending..well i dont want to spoil it.

hope to see maybe the rest of the crew's figure - and maybe tama-chan's exponent suzuki rin

the girls in bamboo blade is nice and scary and the anime's few final episodes looks a bit rushed. i prefer tamaki in her school uniform, she'll look like a perfect loli.

is she smiling.....  regardless, nice anime to watch, with a definite season two to come out...  Haven't read the manga, but I will probably buy the entire set when I return to Japan...

(my recent Japan visits were to buy a massive amount of manga...  I think I spent more than 10000 yen on manga my last time I went...  It was heavy to carry back also...)
