So, has anyone checked out the recent Female Combatants movies?
After Bandobure 2, I couldn't wait for new movies from the Akiba Web producers. Bandobure 2 did just about everything I wanted it to do in a henchwomen movie. Girls in black tight outfits, body suit, and closer attention to details and, more importantly to me, continuity in the action. If we saw a henchwomen defeated by the hero, we saw her go down, and we'd see her in her in her on the ground or sprawled on top of a barrel. In earlier movies, we rarely got to see the fallen henchwomen once they were down, and they would disappear, which is an annoying thing when a hero is fighting an army of evil henchwomen. Bolero 2 was the first movie of the Female Combatants series to take note of that, though we mostly saw already-defeated henchwomen in the background, but rarely saw them go down. Bandobure 2 finally showed that the producers can make these movies look more like mainstream action movies, and do it well. The action seemed more believable, and more like the heroes were actually fighting dozens of minions.
Death March Part 1 had even better action than Bandobure 2, and even more fights, and they brought back the Bolero 1 costume for the henchwomen, which seems to be the most popular outfit around here. I prefer the Bandobure 2 outfit, so I hope they bring that one back in the future.
Death March Part 2 is also as good as DM1 and B2. A tweaked version of the Bandobure 1 costume, as well as the outfit from Bolero 2's final fight scenes, but with better action. Once again, DM1 and 2 feature lots of henchwomen getting their butts kicked, and all the girls are really hot. For those, like me, who enjoy seeing the defeated henchwomen lying around while the fight continues around them, Bandobure 2, Death March Part 1, and Death March Part 2 should be in your possession right now.
