Koihime Musou Review

This has been a long time coming.

Aisha is a well known Bandit killer who travels the land as a warrior using the name Kan'u Uncho, the Japanese name of Guan Yu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Along the way she forms bonds with many companions who would join her in later serving under Ryubei Gentoku which is Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, so essentially if you are familiar with Dynasty Warriors we are going through events in the Three Kingdoms stories through the eyes of the Shu Kingdom and Ryubi's most trusted generals but that's where the homages end, as this is a waifus only anime, everything is altered to be more adorable, lighter in tone, a lot of ecchi with no males to gaze at them and even the supposed bad guys being good, for example, the one based on notorious warrior Lu Bu looks after puppies.
This being one of the earlier waifu titles it's a good litmus test to see if this genre works for you.
In my case, it's adorable, funny and very wholesome but I can also see that it tries a little too hard to throw in fanservice, looking at you Soso Motoku but thankfully it never goes too far despite name dropping Soso.
There was never a dub, but a show like this isn't always the best choice for one.
Final Verdict: I suggest watching it to see if you even like this kind of genre, it does everything a Waifu anime should do, be wholesome, cute and a little ecchi without the male gaze. You don't lose anything trying.
