Wow, how awesome was this series! The story was captivating and characters compelling. The animation was subtly varied but was spot on in the story-telling. Historically, even though fictional, it was in the ball park. It was well researched, and even though I am no expert, it was relatively accurate with the historical details. The music score was almost perfect. I am a bit pedantic and prefer period music of the period being presented, this is my only slight complaint; however, being 'slight' modern music only came into it a couple of times but at least where from Japanese artists. The rest of the score was traditional style Japanese and exciting and really built the scenes. Of course there were some, if not quite a few, unrealistic moments, but hey, it's animation.

It is very adult, but the scenes were well crafted and used appropriately to add to the story.

Can't wait for season 2 and more.
