     Senshi Sokkyo formed as a means to try and bring the highly physical and animated style of Japanese animes to the stage. Drawing inspiration from Naruto, Death Note, the Gundam series, Samurai Champloo, Gurren Lagann, and many, many more, Senshi Sokkyo developed an improvised stage combat style to capture the action and fasted paced nature that the Japanese cartoons display in great quantities. Chock full of stories of betrayal, revenge, love, friendship, death and life Senshi Sokkyo hopes to shine a light on the diverse and expansive nature of anime for everyone who comes for a show. No matter if you know every episode of Bleach and Big O, or you've never seen a cartoon before you'll share natsukashii with us to be sure!
