From the opening fighting scene in the first episode I knew I found a good show but what I didn't know is that I found a GREAT show. For those who loved original great anime/Japanese classics like Ninja Scroll, FF7 or Metal Gear Solid, this show belongs with them. The characters; both heroes and villains, are what made me hooked into this series. The producers love every character they animated and it shows through out their progress in the story and in their interactions with each other. Every character serves an important role in the storyline and their dialogue is smart and funny. The fights are not just incoherent super moves but they do have strategic twists and surprises. The voice acting is superb and the animated puppets do come to life like you are watching a live action film. The story and the setting just makes me feel like I'm watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and for me this series deserve to be listed with that film as a great example of Chinese folklore.

I'm so glad that I stepped on this truly amazing hidden treasure. I am satisfied with it from the first episode until the last one without any episodes in between that were below my expectations. I sure hope that the producers keep delivering this level of amazing high standards in every aspect of Japanese entertainment.
