Moeyo Ken is an anime series that follows the adventures of a trio of young women who belong to the historical brigade of the Imperial Police Special Investigations Unit. Led by their fearless captain, they are tasked with hunting down and eradicating supernatural threats that endanger the citizens of Tokyo. The show is set in the Meiji era of Japan, which was a time of major social and technological transformation in the country.

The three heroines are: Yuki, a swordswoman who possesses formidable martial arts skills and a fiery temper; Toshie, a gun-toting detective who is also a skilled scientist and mechanic; and Kaoru, a young girl who has the power of spiritual mediumship and can communicate with ghosts and spirits. Each of them has their own unique personality and fighting style, and they are all highly competent in their respective fields.

The show is full of action-packed battles against all manner of supernatural creatures, from demons and ghosts to vampires and werewolves. The fights are beautifully animated and choreographed, with each character displaying their own unique fighting style and abilities. The show also has a healthy dose of humor and anachronistic references, which add to its overall charm.

One of the main themes of the show is the tension between tradition and modernity, a common theme in Japanese historical fiction. The Imperial Police Special Investigations Unit is a modern institution, founded by the government to deal with supernatural threats in a rapidly changing society. However, the members of the unit are also deeply rooted in traditional Japanese culture and values, and their interactions with the modern world often lead to conflict and humor.

Moeyo Ken is also notable for its strong female characters. The three heroines are all independent and capable, and they frequently outshine their male counterparts in both physical and intellectual abilities. This is a refreshing change from many anime series, which often portray women as helpless damsels in distress.

The show's animation style is reminiscent of classic anime from the 1990s, with sharp lines and detailed character designs. The soundtrack is also memorable, with a mix of traditional Japanese music and an energetic rock score.

Overall, Moeyo Ken is an entertaining and engaging anime series that combines action, humor, and historical fiction into a unique and enjoyable package. Fans of supernatural-themed anime and Japanese historical dramas are sure to enjoy it.

Moeyo Ken is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on July 3, 2005.
