Gameplay
Players take on the role of a sage ( 審 神 者 saniva ) , traveling to the past in order to defeat the forces of evil trying to change the course of history. He has the ability to revive inanimate objects, including the legendary blades, which are portrayed as attractive young people. The player's task is to breathe life into weapons, create an army and defeat enemies. Touken Ranbu is essentially a gender swap [a] clone of the Kantai Collection game, also published by DMM.com , in which historical warships are anthropomorphized as girls. The battles are largely automated, their process and outcome mainly depend on the rational use of resources and grinding [b] .
Perception
Touken Ranbu quickly became popular in Japan, especially among girls, and as of June 2015 had more than a million registered players. The game helped to increase the popularity of such a Japanese trend as a woman- katana ( カ タ ナ 女子 katana joshi ) - girls who like to pose with samurai swords . This trend was started a few years ago with the advent of the Sengoku Basara games, it was created by adherents of the subculture ( 歴 я Japanese history-lover ) [1] . The popularity of Touken Ranbu was such that the women's magazine Chou Chou Aliis published an article with a system of exercises based on combat techniques from the game [2] , as well as an enormous number of swordsmen prevailed at the 2015 [3] .

Criticism
Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru
Jacob Chapman noted that the whole plot comes down to a banal demonstration of bisyonen and is more like an advertisement. Rebecca Silverman noticed the pleasant visual design of the characters and appreciated the idea that animated swords want to change the course of history and prevent the death of their previous owners. Nevertheless, the plot does not look solid and confusing. Nick Creamer believes that the anime adaptation has coped with its task of revealing individual heroes to please game fans to an appropriate degree. Theron Martin called the anime plot dynamic. The creators carefully reacted to the story, however, the series is too focused on the female audience and is unlikely to interest male viewers. [17]
