Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru is an anime based on the popular browser game Touken Ranbu.The year is 2205, and a mysterious force known as the Historical Revisionists are staging attacks on the past in a plot to change history in their favor. The ones who are sent to stop these attacks are the Touken Danshi, historical Japanese swords who have been brought to life as warriors by the Saniwa, who has the power to bring objects to life. Yamatonokami Yasusada, a newcomer to the Saniwa's citadel, must learn to adjust to life with the other swords as well as stop the Historical Revisionists from altering history without trying to change it himself.The series focuses mostly on Slice of Life elements, though there is still some action and a few serious moments. It is animated by Dogakobo and aired as part of the Fall 2016 season. It is also streaming on Crunchyroll, with Funimation doing a Broadcast Dub for the anime.In 2017, the series was confirmed to get a second season.

The second season premiered on January 7th, 2018.On February 14, 2021, a trilogy of movies entitled Toku Touken Ranbu Hanamaru ~Setsugetsuka~ was announced; it reportedly involves the appearance of Yamanbagiri Chougi, and premiered in 2022. The films are broken up into Snow Story (Yuki no Maki), Moon Story (Tsuki no Maki), and Flower Story (Hana no Maki).There was also a manga adaptation of the series that ran in Shonen Jump + from 2016 to 2019. It ran for five volumes, penned by Saru Hoshino. The Satsugetsuka movies were later adapted by the same mangaka. | |

| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Kashuu, as revealed in Episode 5. He's afraid that once Mikazuki finally arrives, he (and by extension all of the other swords) won't be loved anymore due to his rarity and sword's beauty. Mikazuki is able to reassure him in the end, however, and the two become friends. | |

Adorably Precocious Child | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_1d2605eb | comment |
Adorably Precocious Child: Yagen, best seen in the first half of Season 1. The Awataguchi children are left without their responsible older brother figure Ichigo Hitofuri, so Yagen tries his best to take Ichigo's place until the Touken Danshi is summoned. However, it's very, very clear that Yagen misses him and wants to be around him just as much as his other brothers. When Ichigo finally relieves Yagen of his responsibility and ruffles his hair, Yagen's holding back tears and blushing when he responds "Don't treat me like a kid! I'm a man!" This is, of course, assuming he's the same mental age as his sword spirit manifestation. | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_20b5cce7 | comment |
"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Both opening themes are sung by the protagonists of Hanamaru (Yamatonokami and Kashuu)note though there is a version of "Hanamaru Biyori" sung by the entire cast, while each ending theme is sung by the group of swords who are the focus of the episode in question. Mitsuhiro Ichiki (who voices Yamatonokami) and Toshiki Masuda (who voices Kashuu) sing the opening theme,the first episode's ending theme, and the last episode's ending theme. Oda's swords, Tarusuke Shingaki (Heshikiri Hasebe), Yuuki Tai (Souza Samonji) and Seiichirou Yamashita (Yagen Toushirou) sing the second episode's ending theme. The voice actors for the Awataguchi school tantous (Yagen, Maeda, Hirano, Akita, Gokotai, and Atsushi) sing the third episode's ending theme. Ryōhei Kimura (Izuminokami Kanesada) and Junya Enoki (Horikawa Kunihiro) sing the fourth episode's ending theme. Kosuke Toriumi (Mikazuki Munechika), Kaito Ishikawa (Kasen Kanesada), Soma Saito (Tsurumaru Kuninaga) and Takuya Sato (Shokudaikiri Mitsutada) sings the fifth episode's ending theme. Tooru Sakurai (Yamabushi Kunihiro), Kenji Hamada (Otegine), Hama Kento (Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki), and Jun Oosuka (Hakata Toushirou) sing the sixth episode's ending theme. The ending theme of the seventh episode features all of the Awataguchi school boys, in addition to Atsushi (Ichigo Hitofuri). Episode 8's song is sung by Junji Majima (Nikkari Aoe). The ninth episode's song is sung by Daiki Yamashita (Imanotsurugi) and Eiji Miyashita (Iwatooshi). The Rai School of swords, including Aizen (Seiichirou Yamashita), Hotarumaru (Yūichi Iguchi), and Akashi Kuniyuki (Ryouta Asari) sing the tenth episode's ending song. The ending theme of the twelfth episode is once again sung by the voices of Yamatonokami and Kashuu. | |

Sick Episode | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_25f33d8 | comment |
Sick Episode: In episode 6, the Saniwa falls ill. Kashuu, Yamatonokami, Mutsunokami, Yamabushi, Otegine and Hakata go to the Edo period to find sanshuu fruit so Yagen can make medicine for them, while Hasebe and Shokudaikiri make them udon. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Zoku has plenty of references to the Recollections of the original game. In Zoku episode 6, Kashuu MCs as he does in the musicals, and even wears one of his musical outfits. Yagen also calls Sayo "Sayosuke", as he does in the stage play. Mitsutada and Ookurikara are shown in Konnosuke kigurumis, referencing the Nendoroid Konnosuke outfit that can be purchased. | |

Funny Background Event: When Souza suggests that they bury a dead body underneath the tree outside the citadel to see what kind of flowers might sprout out, the only one of the boys to smile about the idea is Sayo. Hakata Toushirou is always seen with Otegine in the background of pictures. | |

Fundoshi: At the end of episode 6, it's revealed that the Saniwa made everyone swimsuits...and one colorful fundoshi, raising the question of who's going to wear it when they go to the beach. In episode 7, Mutsunokami is the one who wears it, and he does so without a shred of embarrassment. | |

Ascended Meme: To the "Jiji came home" meme in Episode 5. According to Hasebe, the Saniwa has been waiting for Mikazuki for a very long time, and they keep making mention of his arrival during the second half of the episode. Several references to Japanese Hasebe memes, such as him being the fastest in Episode 3. | |

Once an Episode: One of the sword boys narrates the exposition at the beginning of each episode, usually the focus of one of the stories of that episode. Yamatonokami and Kashuu announce the series summary as seen in the page quote. On the last episode, all of the other swords join them and announce the anime's conclusion. | |

Because Destiny Says So | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_3f70415 | comment |
Because Destiny Says So: The Touken Danshi are often reminded (either by the Saniwa or each other) that no matter how much they may want to (such as Yamatonokami wondering if he can make it so that Souji Okita never died), changing past events when traveling back is forbidden. | |

Book Ends: The first season begins and ends with the Ikeda Inn raid, and Yamatonokami's attempts to join Okita on the second floor of the event. Yamato also receives the hairpin the Saniwa got for him in both episodes— the first time to cover his chopped bangs, and the last when it's been redecorated following its breaking at the Ikeda. The attacks even happen during the same season. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Come Zoku, Kashuu, Yamanbagiri, and Hasebe take up roughly half of the screentime of a given episode, while other swords have to either get an episode devoted to their group or get a few lines/shots here and there, even for newly introduced swords. It's not rare for newly introduced Touken Danshi to have their introduction take place in the final few minutes of the episode, with it rushing to establish their characterization. The show makes it pretty obvious who the writers' preferred swords are, with this becoming more apparent in Zoku with the amount of screen time the Awataguchi school Touken Danshi, Shishiou, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, Akashi Kuniyuki, Kasen Kanesada, and the Samonji brothers get compared to most other swords other than the above three. | |

Slice of Life: Though there are battles and some contemplation about the nature of changing history, the anime mostly focuses on the time the characters spend at the citadel when they aren't busy fighting... until the end. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Ookurikara is much less abrasive in this series compared to his home game. He's still moody and solitary, but he does show his affection for Taikogane in Zoku and he gets along better with the other swords. | |

Ret-Gone | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_92db333b | comment |
Retgone: The final episode of season 1 heavily implies that this would have happened to Yamatonokami if he had actually succeeded in changing history, or at least had been caught doing so and killed by the Kebiishi. This was indicated by how his image had vanished from all the photographs that Mutsunokami had taken of the sword warriors throughout the year, though everyone else back at the citadel could still remember him after it happened. Fortunately Kashuu stops him before it could get worse and his image returns to all the photos shortly afterward. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The third episode had the sword boys write prayers for the barren tree outside the citadel to bloom. When Yamatonokami took a look at them after they were all hung up, he saw that among the usual "I wish for the tree to bloom" prayers were prayers about missing siblings as well— most notably a series of prayers about the Awataguchi boys wishing for their "Ichi-nii" to return and play with them, and Sayo praying for Kousetsu to come back. Episode 11, when they go back to the Ikeda Inn and the plot suddenly turns serious. | |

Musical Chores | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_a89b8f21 | comment |
Musical Chores: Episode 6 features Hasebe and a couple of other swords singing about making udon for the ill Saniwa during most of the first half of the episode. He even sings when everyone else is just speaking plainly to him. Similarly, Episode 5 of Zoku features Hachisuka and Nagasone singing about cooking for Urashima, to rather disastrous results. | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: In episode 4, this happens to almost all the characters who go to the general store to buy more sake for Jiroutachi, only to end up forgetting to do so as soon as they see something they want to buy. The only one who remembers what they're actually supposed to be doing is Maeda, and even then he buys a salmon (which in Japanese is pronounced sake) instead of sake. | |

| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Kashuu and Yamatonokami discover the wonders of fabric softener, the scene plays out like something straight out of a Bold detergent commercial. In episode 7 the topic of Idol Singers comes up, and the Awataguchi swords decide to celebrate Ichigo's arrival by holding a concert. Midare suggests that they form a group called AWT48. In episode 9 of Zoku, Hachisuka gets a Bond Gun Barrel shot when there's about to be a water gun fight. Nagasone also wears Cool Shades and holds his water gun sideways in a way that makes him look like The Terminator. During one scene, the narration calls their water fight a "battle without honor and humanity". | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: It's probably the most lighthearted adaptation of Touken Ranbu, excluding non-canon Manga anthologies and gag comics, as there's a heavier focus on the Touken Danshi's often comedic everyday lives and less on their trauma and the tragic implications and consequences of their roles as the protectors of history. Even the dramatic parts that deal with their pasts account for a small portion of the series and are largely inconsequential. | |

Hirano gives the clover to Doudanuki, who gives him a dumbbell in return... ... that ends up being used by Kasen, who needed a paper weight while he was writing calligraphy and gives Hirano a book... ... about anatomy, which Yagen needed to study medicine, and in turn gives Hirano an "experimental vial" which supposedly cures all ills... ... which is given to a sick Yamanbagiri and as thanks, he gives him a fancy cloth that he feels he doesn't need... ... that Nikkari has been eyeing, and in return gives Hirano a body pillow... ... that Sayo wanted because it reminded him of Kousetsu, and in turn Souza gives Hirano a key to his "old playmate"... ... which turns out to be for a tractor that's useful for plowing fields for Hachisuka, so he gives Hirano a castella cake... ... that he shares with Uguisumaru while he's drinking tea. Hirano finally gets the conversation he wanted, along with a picture that Mutsunokami takes of the both of them. | |

In the episode 5 ending sequence, the real design of Mikazuki Munechika's Koshirae, which is not depicted in his original character design, is shown off in the segments displaying his sword. | |
