In this 3 episode OVA (it still says its ongoing but there is no release date for the next dvd), the world's prominent figureheads battle it out in a furious high stakes battle of...

...MAHJONG!

Yes in this universe, every figure head is a master Mahjong player and all the worlds politics are dealt by playing a game of mahjong. The first episode is entirely based on the manga while the other 2 episodes are original stories written by creator, Hideki Ohwada. Forget Hetalia Axis Powers, this is how political satire should be.

There are no cute looking bishounen characters running around here. In this anime every figurehead ...

Mixed Feelings

A lot of OVA based on manga don't do very much character set-up, and instead just drop you right in, assuming you're already familiar with the manga and it's characters.

The Legend of Koizumi is no stranger to this, and does very little set-up for it's cast of characters. Despite the fact that they're all political figures, the lack of very much introduction is very jarring.

The story is also very jarring, as it simply jumps from one scenario to the next, trying to squeeze as much as possible out of each episode's 8-minute runtime. This seems unnecessary, especially considering each story doesn't actually have very much ...

Preliminary (1/3 eps)

This anime is an utter atrocity. There's no storyline, it looks down right stupid, and is just a insult Shonen rip off. The characters just seem too wacky and over the top more than what I believe should be. It's not enjoying to me in any way. It also I feel it's kinda racist in someways. After watching all of the episodes, I was confused at what I saw. To anyone who reads this, I'd stay far away from this travesty. Definitely a waste of time. I'd rather watch Dragon Ball Evolution than this disgusting piece of crap they call a "Japanese Anime"
