I know it's not a masterpiece in all aspects, but for me the overall impact was phenomenal. I don't care if the plot lagged a bit, or if some things were ridiculous.....taking it as a pure bad-ass action show is all I wanted from it, and in that respect it delivered.
I'm fucking pumped for season 2. This ranks for me as one of the most EPIC anime I have ever seen.

basically this.
Meritas said: BLAH! That sure was one hell of an epic episode! I remember how I hated it(probably the most) out of all the S1 episodes, but now, when I liked every single one, this one is sure one of my favorites.
I enjoyed Mitsuhide's last moments, he's just friggin psycho, I just can't get enough of his attitude! And my most favorite lines of his almost made me scream because of it's epicness: "You call yoursel the Right Eye, that means you don't need your left eye, right?"
Chousokabe's appearance was too short but still he made it in time somehow.
And Mouri was way more epic even if he said just few words.
The rainbow attack was so epic, I just never saw it coming!
Back then I hated the ilogical comeback of Date and Sanada, but now it felt just great!
And now my overall score(which will overwrite the one before this re-watch):
Too bad we didn't get the awesome ED this time, despite I was feeling like it will happen this way anyway.
1. Characters. +1. One of the reasons I started re-watching this anime was because of the characters. As the time passed I finally understood how great they actually are. My most favorites are probably Date, Chousokabe, Mouri, Matsunaga, Kenshin.
2. Atmosphere. +1. This anime is full of epic atmosphere. I can't really explain it, it's all up to you to understand it's true feeling. But the simplest way to say why I like it - the feeling you get when the greatest character fight for the sake of the fight.
3. OST. +1. The soundtrack was really great, I like every track out of it.
4. Animation. +1. Can you really ask for better animation? Be it the the overall art or just the techniques, it was totally great!
5. Background story. Ok, I won't give point here, just because there wasn't background story, despite this anime really didn't need one.
6. Storyline. +1. It was well put, the 3-4 main parts of it were totally ok for me.
7. Ending. +1. Perfect ending.
8. Fight scenes. +1. Totally giving a point. Sengoku Basara is one of the animes with best fights!
9. Drama. +1. The last time I watched SB I didn't felt like there was any drama at all, but now I think that drama has one considerable part in this anime, even if it's way more lighthearted than in the most animes. In any way it's well put in.
10. Overall feeling. +1. I had totally no problem anytime when re-watching this anime. Despite that I totally hated Sengoku Basara on my first watch - not only I did not find any smell of sense in it, but I actually didn't find a thing to like out of it. Back then I even gave 4/10 while wondering what for in the world I started watching this shit. The contrast with now and then is so strong that it even makes me like this anime even more. Every moment out of it felt great now and the only thing I regret is that there is no more(out of Season 1).
Bonus(extra) point for:... +1. The Sengoku Basara spirit. Probably that's the main reason I started re-watching Season 1. At some point I understood with my heart the SB spirit - people fighting for the sake of the fight. Even if it may seem shallow to you, it's actually something you don't see in every anime and it's even more rarer for this aspect to get so much attention in any anime. Just like the case where we got an EVA pilot who loved with her whole heart to control the EVA, but it happened just now, after so many years.
Overall Score(re-watch): 10/10.
Can't wait to re-watch Season 2(whiche i liked so much even on my first watch).
LOOOOL
LITERALLY A FEW POSTS AGO IT WAS THE WORST ANIME EVER
what on earth made you even rewatch it if it was so bad in the first place i wonder?
--------
so they teamed up to end a war...to start a war.
lol
still, wow, that was great. i know the plot was a prob 2/10 but my overall vibes was a definite 10. very enjoyable directing, excellent OST, UNBELIEVABLE animation, expert voice acting, and don't even get me started on that english :P
there's a lot of leftover plot and characters so i expect to have my fill if them in the next seasons and movie (?). high hopes for S2. so glad i finally picked this up.
(side note: i really hope the whole lesbian vibes go away or are the same in the future. and if the oppai ninja gets an even more slutty outfit i will scream.) |
