Satoshi Mizukami's unique storytelling captivates readers. He crafts intricate worlds filled with characters driven by strong, personal desires. These characters, with their conflicting goals, create the story's momentum, not some preordained plot. Unlike some dark fantasy, Mizukami avoids clear-cut heroes and villains. Instead, he presents individuals with diverse values clashing in a relatable way. It's like a heartwarming Game of Thrones - you'll find yourself invested in the entire cast, even those who oppose the protagonists.

While Sengoku Youko's animation by White Fox isn't top-notch and takes shortcuts, the team clearly cares about the project. Surprisingly, it's a great adaptation for a lesser-known manga. The studio respects the source material and even improves upon it in some ways. The beginning is a bit rough due to the manga's pacing and needing to condense a lot of story, but things pick up by the middle. The soundtrack by Evan Call is excellent, and the opening theme is a standout from this season.

Good Japan traditional theme it's so good anime I love the characters and fights I hope this anime will became popular in some years. The villian has good design and fights were perfectly animated to watch manga story is so good I just can't wait to animate full series I got same Inuyasha vibes sometimes watching it one of the best traditional anime to watch I recommend all anime watchers to give a try to this anime it need you attention to become a popular and famous series the characters and fights I hope this anime will became popular in some years. The villian has good design and fights were perfectly animated to watch manga story is so good I just can't wait.

The original manga itself is an interesting one. There is nothing new or innovative here but it is worth reading. The adaption, however, is ruined by very bad animation. There are too many static frames (30, 40%) which make it irritating while watching it. I am at episode 3 now and most of the time i see is just a static image with too little animation. They might want to save the effort and money to do the animation, but being lazy cost them a bad series and who will want to buy or watch this?

I havent read the manga for so long so im not sure how the story has developed, hope that i will be long enough for them to fix those lazy animations. In the meantime, if it is not on netflix, no way i will order it to see.

How to even put this into words it beyond me and probably will be for a long time as my heart tatters from the sheer emotion this anime has thrust into my being. The first episode didn't strike me as anything special, just kind of throws you into what you think is the middle of the story but I can tell you this much, for being Edo style anime, this show sure packs a punch in the face, the heart and the soul.

Not many anime have struck me this hard in a long time, and by the time you get to ep 8, you will most likely feel the weight of the world pushing down on you. I give this show a solid 10/10. It is truly a MASTERPIECE!
