This is your typical detailed anime but with unusually round eyes. The intro is somewhat disappointing, except for the rapid-blooming flowers, due to a lot of stock footage from the actual anime being used, but the music is excellent. This is one of my favorite animes of the season.

From www.animenewsnetwork.com:

Toraji Ishida is a high school kendo teacher. His friend and fellow kendo teacher makes him a bet: if Ishida can assemble a girls’ kendo team that can defeat his girls’ team in a practice match, he’ll treat Ishida to free meals at his father’s sushi restaurant for a whole year. Now Ishida must find five girls to join the team.

Head over to Doremi fansubs for their subbed versions of Bamboo Blade.
