[ARQ]

It's a shame that I find Samurai Flamenco to be absolutely terrible.

I enjoyed it more when it was playing it straight with a toku styled hero in a real society but then it just became a huge joke that just parodied one toku after another with no real additions to the plot. Sure it went back to the core of the story with the two characters near the end but having to slog through all that senseless parody was such a pain, especially as the animation budget had also dropped by a huge amount.

So if anything it does count as a tokuanime in that it's just a clusterfuck of tropes. If you wanted something a bit more serious that are more akin to an actual toku series go for stuff like Guyver, Zetman, Skullman, Garo etc
