Most people think that ninjas are a thing of the past, but Rekka Hanabishi wishes otherwise. Although he comes from a family that makes fireworks, he likes to think of himself as a self-styled, modern-day ninja. Sounds like fun, right? Maybe not. Rekka ends up in lots of fights because he once made the bold announcement that if someone can defeat him, he will become their servant.
Then one day, Rekka meets Yanagi Sakoshita, a gentle girl with the ability to heal any wound or injury. Their meeting sets off a chain of events, which culminate into a shocking discovery. Rekka is the last surviving member of a legendary ninja clan that was wiped out centuries ago. Even more astonishing than being an actual ninja, he also wields the power to control fire. What does this mean for Rekka? Who are these strange people after him and Yanagi? Find out in Rekka no Honoo!

The most prominent precursor to the ever popular Naruto, Flame of Recca is essentially, Dragon Ball, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, and Kaze no Stigma all rolled into one package. Of course, in terms of originality, it deserves a high commendation, but that's about all the praise I can muster for this series. The story is lethargic. It follows a very formulaic approach. The main protagonist, Recca goes through a sequence of ordeals to realize his true strength and then manages to win over enemies with his never say die attitude. Banal. Seen that a million times. But that doesn't mean it'snot enjoyable.
The animation is fair, to be honest, I feel that the studio started pumping more money into Yu Yu Hakusho (which was being released at the same time), and the later episodes suffer from a marked decline in quality.
The sound is nothing spectacular, nothing memorable.
The characters are moderately well designed, but again follow cliched "five-guy-superhero-team" stereotypes. There are, of course, some deliciously sinister villains, some with more character than our 2-D heroes. But the anime doesn't really explore them.
I really can't give this a high grade. In it's time, yes it was a classic, and sparked of future work such as Naruto, but now it's a dated and overused concept and there are many more worthwhile series out there.
However, I highly recommend the manga. The anime only follows upto volume 16 of the manga series and by itself leaves many questions unanswered. The manga is complete and reflects the true worth of the series.

It only offers a very small fraction of what the manga truly has to offer. It only focuses on 2 or 3 story arcs and I feel that if you’re at all a fan of the original manga, you’re certainly going to be cheated because it only offers a true fraction of what this series truly has to offer. But for this anime as a whole, it covers enough ground to give the viewers an introduction to the characters and offers excellent development. A majority of the main cast starts out as Recca’s rivals such as Domon and Fuuko, but eventually bigger circumstances such assaving the world unites them to become an unstoppable team. The anime itself is decently paced and the characters share equal time and develop sensibly for what this series has to offer and individually have their own use to the overall development of the story. The villains are also unique and have their own personalities that truly stand out and have their own back-story and goals to why they became to be. So you’re getting an excellent cast in which you can relate to or feel out.
Well, the character design is faithful to the manga for the most part. When the manga started out, the art was pretty ugly, but Anzai further evolved and improved his art style to the point that when they made this anime, they used the improved art style thank god. The art style is basic, but still excellently detailed with the costume designs and the diversity of the character designs. I also like how the weapon’s are drawn and have really nifty designs.
The action is very high octane and breath taking. It’s very technique based and well played out. Characters have fighting styles in which they contrast and I have always believed in an old saying of styles make fights and this anime also proves that. In addition, the fights also have a Yuu Yuu Hakusho like feel to it where it’s based on tactics and strategy, and you get that in this anime as well. In comparison to Naruto, you get a better overall feel of the ninja authenticity to the action and art design.
The music is very addicting and very high spirited. A perfect example is the opening theme Nanka Shiawase by Oysters. It has good control with the guitars and the delivery of the lyrics is very true to the atmosphere of the series. I also can’t deny that the ending theme Love is Changing by Nishida Hikaru also exemplifies this, but more on the romantic side of the series. The background music has a fighting game esque feel to it and is very well diverse in that sense in which it portrays all kinds of moods and personalities.
I can’t say much about the dub since I’ve never seen it and have no intentions of watching it just because I don’t want to, but the Japanese voice cast I feel is satisfying enough. I was very shocked to learn that Tobita Nobuo, who is most famous amongst Gundam fans such as myself as Camille Vidan from Z Gundam is the voice of Domon. He does a great job of not recognizing it’s the same voice, but still makes the character convincing as a tough guy who has a soft spot, but overall true use is comic relief. And Okiayu Ryotaro as Kurei and Midorikawa Hikaru as Mikagami are probably the reasons why I can never watch this series outside of the Japanese language. These two reputable seiyuus do a great job in bringing their characters to life and make them very believable.
Well, if you want to see the rest of Flame of Recca as anime, the closest thing you’re going to get is if you get the PS2 game, Final Burning. The same studio animates the cut scenes and they got the same seiyuus back. Plus, you get to see the manga ending in anime form.
Shiro-
Story. I hate myself for beliving this anime was worth spending my time...And I don't say because it was bad...I say this because the ending left me hanging the cliff wondering what hapened before...I know is not allowed to rage and all that stuff...but...why in the fuck's name the producers left the ending so....plain?!? What hapened with Kurei? Did he ever fighted Recca again? Did he became a good guy? or is still the plain "bad guy" type? Did he go to his time again? Wait...What about Kougane'si Kogan Anki [it was suposed to show us the "legendary cool 6'th form" of his madougu...Never shown tous saddly-]...What about Fuuko? Did she find the "main component" of Fuujin's power? What about Recca? Did he ever tamed the 8'th dragon? What in the bloody hell hapened in the end? [I know that the manga is more complete and all that rubbish...But I only watch anime's...I don't like reading manga...so...the producers should at least make the anime just as in manga is suposed to happen-] ...aside from that...it really is a cool anime...it seem's similar to Naruto and Yu Yu Hakusho...the only thing is that this anime is much more better than these...
Art.
It have's the old generation's art...but still...it had some pretty nice view's and landscapes...
Sound.
I really liked the OP...I listened at every episode the opening song and I even downloaded it to my PC [hell yeahhh...all 42 episodes I listened the OP]...as for the ED...I didn't like it neighter the first one or the second one...
Character.
Trully nice drawn characters...Every one of them had unique traits...The only character I hated it was that big muscle brainless Domon;it totally pissed me...his mugg...his atitude...his powers...ALL of him I hated it...And as for the favourite character I choose Kouganei...even though he is a kid he is quitte strong and funny...like's puzzles and have's a caring side on him too...
The rest of characters were nice too
Enjoyment.
I did enjoy this anime...BUT!...the ending of the story I really disliked it...it should've worked more how to end the story of this anime the producers...
Overall.
Except for the part of the story ending...is a cool anime...with ninja's...dragons...swords...friendship...funny moments...and love...It definetley is a good anime...I would gave a 10 but the ending pissed me too much...So it's final note is 9

Rekka (or Recca in english) is a 90s shonen and that's literally a good enough description for you to understand it. It's exactly what you'd expect. It's got a squad of teens with supernatural weapons. They encounter enemies one by one. Eventually it leads to the a tournament arc. I shouldn't be so harsh, cause it's really not bad. Most of the characters are enjoyable and those that aren't around long enough to be too much of a bother. The animation is shifty, sometimes awful sometimes eye popping. The story kind of a mess. Half the plot points are rushed to an end or don'tmake sense to begin with.
If you're looking for some 90s cheese, this isn't a bad place to go. (Especially since it's free on youtube).

My first full review of an anime. WOOT! Well, let me start off with a foreword. This show is simply fantastic in its entirety. I've seen a lot of anime in my 14 years of life, but this one is easily one of the best. Everything about this show is flawfree, and I recommend anyone who's a fan of Naruto, DBZ, Fairy Tail and Bleach to watch this as you'll see where the aforementioned four shows got their inspiration from. Story: The story is so flawfree that flawfree might be an understatement. I'll try not to spoil much, but it's so good. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Whoever said the BigThree will never be topped needs to watch this show like RIGHT NOW. The feels, plot twists, irony, overall story, like I literally could sit here and type up every single plot element there is and tell you how flawlessly this show does it, and if I were to do that, by the time you finished reading this, an eternity will've gone by.
Anyway, banter and jokes aside, the story's gr8.
Art:
The art overall is good. There are some animation flaws, but they're not enough to make you stop watching the show because in every anime, there's bound to be that one episode where the anime is rather shoddy, and Flame of Recca is no exception. Despite those episodes where the animation isn't too gr8, it's still a joy to watch.
The video quality ian't that gr8 ofc, naturally it's bad considering it's a late 90s anime, but it's tolerable.
Sound:
The seiyuus are gr8 in this show. Everyone has the right seiyuus here. I noticed Kurei is voiced by the same guy who voices Samurai Warriors Motochika in JP.
Character:
The characters are awesome tbh. I honestly have no complaints about them.
Enjoyment and Overall:
Overall, this show is gr8, and I recommend anyone who's a diehard of the Big Three or DBZ to watch this show.

This show, called Flame of Recca, is a ridiculously retarded version of Yu Yu Hakusho. I will give credit where credit is due: They did a great job of combining Hiei and Kurama into one character, Tokiya Mikagami. But other than him, this pitiful mistake of a show is unworthy to be deemed an anime.

This is your typical shounen anime when it all comes down to it. It was produced by the huge Studio Pierrot and even directed by the same man whom directed Yu Yu Hakusho, Noriyuki Abe. Needless to explain that when it came to shounen anime, this combo does it right. Even the plot reminds any shounen anime fan of what they could be watching instead. Flame of Recca focuses on the main character by the name of Recca Hanabishi. He is the last living member of a ninja clan famous for their use of crazy weaponry. The weaponry becomes a huge plot point soon enough whenthe story gets into a saving the world through an elimination tournament with our main character fighting the ultimate bad guy at the end. All extremely similar to Hakusho. Before the tournament arc, Recca confronts in “ninja-like” battles against people that will later become friends with him. Along the way, we meet the murdering antagonist, and Recca stumbles across a girl whom has the power to heal. This girl would then become the entire backbone of the story as Recca and friends must do their best to save her.
As for the animation, it is very sub-par even for the late 90’s. It suffers from typical shounen budget stretch due to the length of the show. Even during this same time shows such as Gundam X and Rurouni Kenshin were experiencing the same thing with still shot action scenes, and action being cut away way too often. Too bad the music is not very memorable, but there were times during some emotional back stories and fight sequences where it was done right.
The worst aspect of the show would have to be near end. When the show is at its’ peak aspect in the action and story, the budget clearly took another hit because the animation is even worse and at times the viewer is subject to minutes on end of nothing happening on the screen. Plus, the show ends at a point where there leaves way more questions than answers. There is more to the manga if every inclined to continue where the anime left off.
Basically, Flame of Recca is a typical formulaic action 5-man-group anime. If a total sucker for shounen, than this is worth a fun ride, but when it is all said and done maybe should have been watching something better like Yu Yu Hakusho.

I've watched this way back before 2001 and it was already dubbed in Filipino to be exact "Tagalog", Philippines national dialect and I really enjoyed it. Without reading the manga (as some say they felt cheated) because it does not clarify the end as a whole on what happened to the MC or to his half brothers as per Manga readers. All I can say is this. As an anime series it really is spectacular in the sense that it is one of the predecessor of the big 3 that we have today. Which are Naruto, Bleach and FT. Before Natzu Dragneel there was Recca Hanabishithe graphics may turn off some viewers but the over all concept is really amazing. It greatly resembles 2 legendary shounen anime (Dragon Ball Z) and (Yu Yu Hakusho) because of the tournament format and the batlle to save humanity and the GIRL context.
To make it short this anime came after DBZ and YYH and before Naruto, Bleach FT. It's unique art in fighting, character development and overall enjoyment deserve its own credit and it doesn't owe any anime for its overall success. Feeling nostalgic isn't necessarily bad.
Overall this anime is for all ages and feel free in enjoying it. :D

Flame of Recca begins as a promising anime but simply falls into the generic episodic theme in which each character gets stronger to prove themselves, has a semi inspiring speech about how they must win and in the end always will... all this while the characters standing to the side do nothing and fill in the gaps. This show just doesn't separate itself from the others.
animegrrrl
if you're a fan of the following animes u will enjoy flame of recca: yu yu hakusho,naruto,fairy tail,mebbe even a lil dbz. lots of times i could see how this anime might've possibly inspired some of the newer animes. i could also see a lil "borrowing" from older animes too. its a typical good vs evil fight, a hero who has something to protect, with friends to support and depend on. sound familliar? the characters felt pretty cookie cutter standard. it has a fighting tournamanent with a whole bunch of interesting weapons and difficult enemies. there are adorable furi referrees and lil bitsof dark fanservice as well as some successful and unsuccessful attempts at comedy.
all in all a very good anime to keep u busy. the elemental powers were pretty cool and i really liked the bad guy. however i felt cheated by the ending, no sense of closure. possibly an anime u would want to read the manga for.

As I was reading other reviews, I noticed one person mention that the anime doesn't do the manga justice. I haven't read the manga, so my review is based off the anime solely. However, I think Flame of Recca was a fast-paced, action-based, easy to understand story. All the different opposing groups from Team Hokage were explained fairly well, given the style of the series. The story was very easy to understand and was smooth in delivery. I liked the art, it was reminiscent of 90's style, which I've always liked. The sounds were great, although since I watched the dubbed version, some of thecharacters voice overs were gyrating to the ears.. The characters were nicely developed throughout the series. Although, the ending was a little abrupt. Overall, it was a very good, enjoyable series I'd recommend to anyone who likes action & ninjas.

Flame Of Recca is the anime adaptation of the manga with the same name by Nobuyuki Anzai. It is a shounen, martial arts, adventure and superpower anime. It tells the story of Recca Hanabishi a boy that has been sent 400 years into the future after his mother Kagerou used a forbidden technique in order to rescue him from getting wiped along with the Hokage ninja clan. In modern day times Recca has grown up to become a troublemaker promising foes that he will become their loyal ninja if they can beat them at a one on one fight, one day he encounters Sakoshita Yanagia girl with the power of healing in danger at a construction site, he then saves her and then after that Recca's world starts delving into a whole new direction going forward. At it's core Flame Of Recca is a average shounen at best. The story is mediocre and the characters are not well developed and fleshed out enough, but aye that's what you expect from a shounen anyway, since you don't watch Shounen anime or read shounen jump for the story or the characters, you read or watch it for the epic fight scenes, the power-ups and the out of these world supernatural powers that the characters do end up possesing. Flame Of Recca is not all that different despite being made in the 90's it has the generic let's infiltrate the enemies base, and a tournament arc as well for crying out loud, now granted the genre wasn't that big in the 90's except for Yu Yu Hakusho and DBZ, but both of those shows contained those exact same arc concepts that this show follows. These exact same arc formulas have been adapted by Shounen anime to this day, so Flame Of Recca in theory did contribute as one of the OG 90's anime in a sense, so it has that going for it at least. These are some things that I did enjoy from this show tho, the first OP and ED were really good and I listened to them constantly and that is why it sucks that the second ED was ass since the first one was a banger but it is what it is, next up the fight scenes were pretty good tho even tho most of them were won by the classic power of friendship that I must protect my nakama cliche but at least the fight scenes were good enough to entertain me, after that the madogu were actually fairly interesting they each have their own power and drawbacks even tho most of those drawbacks were because of the user plus if you break them they lose their power, but for the most part the madogu felt unique as powers to me since shounen powers tend to be bland and boring or overpowered for no reason whatsoever most times, the madogu are actually fairly weak but are still equally dangerous, to top that off they were interesting as well for me. Finally the characters were decent enough that despite not being relatable or realistic they are still not that bad as characters, if anything I actually fairly enjoyed them on their journey and rooted for them in most cases, that said unfortunately there is no getting around the fact that they are still generic shounen characters made for a generic shounen manga or anime.
Pros:
-Banger OP and ED
-Interesting power known as madogus
-Entertaining
-Fight scenes are decent enough
Cons:
-Mediocre story
-Bland shounen characterization
-Some scenes start up with good animation then get cut or panned out to a different scene in order to not look as bad , but to no avail since it just ends up looking like they ran out of budget for their animation
-Uses generic shounen troupes, cliches and arcs such as power of friendship overcomes everything, and the classic tournament arc
-Is dated in terms of production quality
Overall Flame Of Recca is a generic shounen anime made in the 90's adapted from a shounen jump manga, it utilizes generic characterization, cliches and arcs that the genre has recycled for multiple years now, but it is surprisingly entertaining with its decent fight scenes and it's interesting powers that it introduces. If you're looking for a old school shounen anime to watch then Yu Yu Hakusho or Flame Of Recca might be you're go to watches. I give it a 6/10 for my overall anime rating. With that this has been Cyranical's review of Flame Of Recca, and I'm signing off, btw thanks for reading my review bye everyone Xd.

So I know this’ll be funny, but I discovered Flame of Recca almost a week ago when I turned my TV on to watch Hulu, and it took me to Vizio Free Watch instead of Hulu. Well when Vizio Free Watch came on I saw the Retro Crush Anime channel and saw some of Flame of Recca and fell in love with to. So I took my laptop out and went on 9ANIME.to and began watching Flame of Recca. I loved the series so much that I binged watched the show in almost a week despite having school. I really enjoyed how the anime wasreally entertaining from characters to plot. The story was amazing I enjoyed how Recca was a boy who lived with his adoptive dad who made fireworks, to meeting his princess Yanagi, to finding out a shady woman who lived for over 400yrs was his mother, to finding out his brother was a villain, to working with his brother to beat the most corrupted man who wants immortality. Overall the anime is really good if you like Naruto or MHA you might really enjoy this anime and all. Though it blows my mind that this anime ain’t super popular however this anime is one hidden gem that’s a masterpiece in the anime and manga world!

The only thing I like about this anime is the art and music. In fact my favorite music is "Love is Changing" 1st ending. Art is given a 6 and music is given a 8. The plot is so generic and boring. The first half of the anime starts off with Kurei kidnapping Yanagi and the team Hokage had to rescue her. Oh my not another damsel in distress! Then the second half is the tournament whereby Team Hokage have to beat the opposing force in order to save the world. Yanagi Sakoshita is the team healer of the team but is very vulnerable to situationsand is also a big crybaby. Too bad I am being sarcastic. If she cannot fight, why must she be here in the tournament in the first place? Is it because she is so obsessed with Recca? Yes.
Yanagi Sakoshita starts off with being badass but then reduced to damsel in distress. Wait no, I take that back. She is totally a damsel in distress throughout the anime and she needs people to protect her. She is completely affecting the plot. I just really hate damsel in distress because this plot is so overused.
If you like this anime, that's cool.

Story: 1/10 This anime has gone to great length to rip off a much better, much more competent anime... by the same studio house (seriously, guys? I know you want to relive the glory of creating Yuu Yuu Hakusho, but there are better ways to do that). Sure, there's some originality here, but it's so contrived and poorly constructed that you can make it all fall apart just by glancing at it. Art: 1/10 It's Studio Pierrot, I don't know why you'd be expecting good art... Every frame of it looks terrible, and to call this animated is, well, generous. Sound: 3/10 Someone let Yusuke Honma do thesoundtrack for this. That someone needs to stop doing that, because he's honestly one of the worst music composers around. That said, at least the sound balance is okay and their folley... tried...
Unlike the voice actors. Who were... cementing Calgary's place as the discount version of Vancouver. The dub of this is really atrocious, I'm honestly glad Blue Waters Studio seems to have vanished off the face of the earth, if this is the kind of quality they were putting out.
Character: 1/10
Wait, there were characters in this? I was pretty sure I just watched 42 episodes of cardboard cut outs standing around in a room (and oh yes, I sat through all 42 episodes of this. I don't know why, either. Don't live like me, please, save yourself and watch something, literally anything, else).
Enjoyment: 1/10
I just wasted roughly 16 hours of my life I'm neeeever getting back.
Overall: 1/10
Please, do yourself a favour, and just watch Yuu Yuu Hakusho instead.

Recca hanabeshi is a plucky high school teen with a love for ninjas,yes i said ninjas.one day his life changes when after saving a girl called Yanagi,he encounters a strange woman who refeels recca true past as a member of the Hokage ninja clan of hundreds of years ago.Recca and his friends are inexplicably cought in a conflict involving magical items called modogues and those who wish to use them for evil.Recca is eventually force to participate in a tournament to win yanagi's life from his evil half brother Kurei who also has a connection to the hokage clan of the past. Mayi just start off by saying that this anime has a remarkable similarity to yu yu hakusho.From similar fight scenes to similar attack,powers and even character design.At times this anime borders upon being a rip -off.That being said this anime is far more comedy and ecchi oriented compared to yuyu hakusho which had mainly a dark nature all the way through.The characters although nothing special are likeable whether good or bad.The music and sound are pretty forgettable and arent worth mentioning.Overall a pretty good watch

This is a really obscure anime, at least to me. I was scrolling on the internet for pictures of Kenshin for my next Sword Technique review, and came across a site in where someone had collected Kenshin look-a-likes. One of them was Tokia, a character from Flame of Recca. I was bored anyway, so without having any knowledge of what I was going to get I decided to give it a shot. After watching the first few episodes, I was getting into it, but the following part was almost too much to comprehend, and not in a good way. Recca's character was devoid of any development beyondthree or two episodes. He's a fast, witty guy with ninja skill. And he MUST. ALWAYS. PROTECT. HIS. PRINCESS. NO. MATTER. WHAT.
Almost insulting is the morality the show teaches: If your friend is dying, just let them! Don't interfere because that would damage their ego too much.
Tokia was the "calm, logical"-type of guy, yet he only once called this out and it lasted just few moments. Afterwards, the narrator referred to it as a "debating over something meaningless". Also, the weirdest comic relief scene ever: When Recca takes some flying glass on him, protecting his princess, the removal of the glass and following bloodburst is played for laughs. Which, honestly, shocked me.
Maybe best character is Domon, who at first seems like a school bully, since he's bullying someone at school. Later, that's not adressed. He's just a tough, muscular guy. And his every second of glory is ruined every time.
The main powersource in this series are the madogus, gems that have various superpowers that are all cliche'd. These gems can be used together, apparently, be swallowed to increse effect or destroyed by a punch! These things are more frail than my mind after sitting through this series.
There are some good things in this anime, let's not forget those. To call the best, iintense action scenes and really nice imagination behind the powers.
The finale was... mediocre. There were good things in it, though the improvement of Recca's friends disappointed.
The villain, Kurei's father, was designed the best. He was scary, yet real. The motivation he had was real, but Kurei's one was rushed in and I didn't end up understanding it.
This show could have had:
A better pacing: There's too much things happening all the time.
Better logic: Sometimes the characters do really stupid things that don't feel like them at all, some fights have no meaning or purpose and why are the narrators in DEATH TOURNAMENT all scantily clad furry girls?! Tournament that is the final epic showdown and takes up majority of the show's entire showtime!?
Also, take about half of the fighting off and the series would rejoice, rest of them would be interesting and have a little meaning.
The character development is always left for few moments if there's any and all the moments Recca and Yanagi share together are shattered by some jerk interfering. To be honest, all the moments where anyone is having romantic stuff with someone are.
If the pacing was better, characters more real, superpowers better used and the show'd dare to let in more serious and hard stuff, Flame of Recca would shine brighter than the candle it is right now.

If yu yu hakusho is the strong characters carrying decent to amazing fights Flame of recca is the inverse of that where the characters are more decent but the fights themselves are much better It does have an odd push towards nude torture scenes once or twice that feel surprisingly dark for what this series is. It was animated by the same group who did yu yu hakusho so much of the lighting and music you can hear will feel like that. Its something to experience and you will be impressed many times. More than I thought when I went in with no expectations.

First half Ruroni Kenshin with with Ninja. Second half Yu Yu Hakusho with Ninja. Very simplified explanation of this very standard run of the mill 90s shounen. It was enjoyable but the aforementioned was far superior in all aspects for me coming in at 9/10 and 8/10 respectively so i feel 7/10 is as high as this one can go. Art and animation is decent. I like older animes but i wasnt a big fan of character design. Also compared to other shows same time it isnt as good. Music is pretty much the same. Its good but doesnt reach the heights of the greatsin the same genre.
Being a simple fighter shounen there isnt much story. The premise is interesting and promises alot but ultimately fallsshort not adapting the entire story or going especially deep into it rather being second though.
The fights themselves is another area its lacking in against its competitors. They arent as intense or bring the same tense atmosphere. Often found the climax lacklustre and fights following the same formula and outcome to often.
Characters and their personality or history was again lacking and didnt really hook me. Then theres the usual unmature bits and pieces with quirky humor that never hits the mark and pervy characters which drags it down a bit.
Overall a good simple and enjoyable battle shounen. But there are far better out there one should watch first. But definetly recommend to give it a watch at some point. Its worth it.
