  Kentoshi - Anime-Planet Anime Reviews
Kentoshi is pretty much one of the most useless fighting anime ever.
The pacing sucks, you don't get involved with any of the characters, and in general the lack of logic and reasoning make the story tedious and almost laughable (but not in a good way).
The only reason I can think of that someone might enjoy the story is if they are a fighting guru, but even then Kentoshi doesn't fit the bill; the fight sequences are choppy and condensed, and no special displays of talent are shown.

This is a gem of an opera with a view of court life in ancient Japan and China, and a most treasured piece of pipa music never before allowed to have been performed out of court, as woven by the story.
In the mid-eighth century, Ono Kiyoto, a Kentoshi member, receives a strict order from Empress Shomyo of Japan to bring back without fail a pipa music entitled “Ai-en,” which Princess Kohki of the Tang dynasty reserves only for the initiated.

Official embassies to the Sui (589-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties of China (kenzuishi and kentoshi, respectively), initiated in 600, were the chief means by which Chinese culture, technology, and methods of government were introduced on a comprehensive basis in Japan.

One version replaces the "can't touch this" refrain with "Kentaiki desu!" (Say it fast and you'll get the idea.) "Kentaiki" translates into "marital ennui." The other -- because really, it's so funny they had to parody it twice -- is "Kentoshi desu!" What are "kentoshi"?
