Swordplay/Samurai/Fan Service Titles

#
Swordplay: (Story/Location) A subcategory of "Action". This is about the art or skill of wielding a sword, esp. in fencing. Entries in this category should contain the use of swords to a large extent in scenes.

Samurai: (Characters) (↗samurai = "warrior") Members of this warrior class of feudal Japan (zenith: 12th to 16th century A.D.) should play an important role in an anime of this type.

Fan Service: (Objectionable Content) This is a term coined to identify things like jiggling breasts, cleavage shots, panty shots, bra shots, closeup shots of women's breast, legs, butt, etc., and mild nudity all for the purposes of "servicing" the audience. The term has a second meaning covering things like massive action sequences, explosions, fights, etc., but it mostly refers to the first meaning.

Samurai Girl Real Bout High School
Rent The Samurai Girl, Ryoko Mitsurugi, attends high-school which sponsors student fight events called “K Fights”.

Then one day, Ryoko finds a strange blue-gem pendant, which (with a strange sparkle of light) transports her to a world called ‘Solvania’, where her fighting skills are put to the test in defeating a monstrous dragon creature. There she finds herself called the ‘Ogre of Yenen’, and becomes involved in a battle that transcends time and space, and even appears to threaten the world and friends that Ryoko holds so dear.
