The franchise revolves around groups of female [[Ninja|shinobi]], and has received [[#Other media|manga and anime adaptations]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-04-17/senran-kagura-tv-anime-in-the-works|title= Senran Kagura TV Anime "In the Works"|date=April 17, 2012|access-date= July 29, 2012|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]}}</ref> The anime has been licensed by [[Funimation Entertainment]] in North America.
{{Nihongo|'''''Senran Kagura'''''|閃乱カグラ|lead=yes}} is a multimedia franchise created by [[Kenichiro Takaki]] and developed primarily by [[Tamsoft]] and [[Marvelous (company)|Marvelous]]. The series debuted in Japan in 2011 with the release of ''Senran Kagura: Shōjo-tachi no Shinei (Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls)'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and debuted abroad in 2013 with ''[[Senran Kagura Burst]]''. The franchise has since expanded into numerous [[#Other media|video games, manga adaptations, anime series, and merchandise]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-04-17/senran-kagura-tv-anime-in-the-works|title= Senran Kagura TV Anime "In the Works"|date= April 17, 2018|access-date= July 29, 2018|publisher= [[Anime News Network]]|archive-date= April 18, 2012|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120418201854/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-04-17/senran-kagura-tv-anime-in-the-works|url-status= live}}</ref>


The ''Senran Kagura'' games are primarily action [[hack and slash]] titles where players control one of several characters in combat missions against enemy shinobi or supernatural foes. The series is also notable for its RPG elements, character customization, and fast-paced combat system. Spin-off titles have incorporated other genres, such as [[rhythm games]] and [[third-person shooters]].
By August 2017, worldwide sales for the games in the series had surpassed 1.65 million copies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gematsu.com/2017/08/senran-kagura-series-worldwide-sales-top-1-65-million|title=Senran Kagura series worldwide sales top 1.65 million|publisher=Gematsu|date=August 13, 2017|access-date=August 15, 2017}}</ref>


The series centers on groups of female [[Ninja|shinobi]] from various academies, focusing on their training, missions, and personal lives. While the narrative often explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery, it is also known for its over-the-top action, comedic elements, and a high emphasis on [[fan service]], particularly through its character designs and interactions. The story typically revolves around rivalries between "good" shinobi academies, such as Hanzo National Academy, and "evil" academies, such as Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy. Despite the conflicts, the series often delves into the characters' backstories, exploring their motivations and struggles. Each character has a distinct fighting style, weapon, and personality, making for a diverse cast.

== Controversy ==
In 2014, ''[[Official Nintendo Magazine]]'' wrote a preview about ''Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson'' (misnaming it as ''Senran Kagura Burst 2''), labeling the game as "filth" and describing it as sexual objectification with breasts and buttocks. This elicited a response from Hatsuu, the Production Coordinator at Xseed Games, to unofficially reply, criticizing the writer's views as superficial and ignorant to the game's characters, story and actual gameplay. She also mentioned that a writer for ''Official Nintendo Magazine'' unsuccessfully attempted to boycott the game without having any knowledge, and that the writer made inappropriate jokes such as describing large breasts as "smuggling fleshy watermelons".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dualshockers.com/official-nintendo-magazine-uk-calls-senran-kagura-2-filth-xseed-producer-responds-in-kind/|title=Official Nintendo Magazine UK Calls Senran Kagura 2 "Filth;" XSeed Production Coordinator Responds in Kind|date=June 23, 2014|access-date=December 8, 2019}}</ref>

Senran Kagura (Japanese: 閃乱カグラ) is a multimedia franchise created by Kenichiro Takaki and developed primarily by Tamsoft and Marvelous. The series debuted in Japan in 2011 with the release of Senran Kagura: Shōjo-tachi no Shinei (Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls) for the Nintendo 3DS and debuted abroad in 2013 with Senran Kagura Burst. The franchise has since expanded into numerous video games, manga adaptations, anime series, and merchandise.[1]

The Senran Kagura games are primarily action hack and slash titles where players control one of several characters in combat missions against enemy shinobi or supernatural foes. The series is also notable for its RPG elements, character customization, and fast-paced combat system. Spin-off titles have incorporated other genres, such as rhythm games and third-person shooters.

The series centers on groups of female shinobi from various academies, focusing on their training, missions, and personal lives. While the narrative often explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery, it is also known for its over-the-top action, comedic elements, and a high emphasis on fan service, particularly through its character designs and interactions. The story typically revolves around rivalries between "good" shinobi academies, such as Hanzo National Academy, and "evil" academies, such as Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy. Despite the conflicts, the series often delves into the characters' backstories, exploring their motivations and struggles. Each character has a distinct fighting style, weapon, and personality, making for a diverse cast.

Controversy

[edit]

In 2014, Official Nintendo Magazine wrote a preview about Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson (misnaming it as Senran Kagura Burst 2), labeling the game as "filth" and describing it as sexual objectification with breasts and buttocks. This elicited a response from Hatsuu, the Production Coordinator at Xseed Games, to unofficially reply, criticizing the writer's views as superficial and ignorant to the game's characters, story and actual gameplay. She also mentioned that a writer for Official Nintendo Magazine unsuccessfully attempted to boycott the game without having any knowledge, and that the writer made inappropriate jokes such as describing large breasts as "smuggling fleshy watermelons".[30]
