| samurai action animation by ufotable? gonna watch it for sure |
| Is this really going to be as dark and serious as the teaser implies? |
 |
| Is there any particular reason these anime aren't allowed to use Kogitsunemaru which as far as I know one the most recognizable and popular characters in the franchise? I just find it a bit odd that they wouldn't exploit one the most popular characters to market the show |

| I don't trust ufotable to make a decent story, but I'll watch it for the action scenes anyway. |
| You need to fix the casting, it's not Aizen Kunitoshi who's voiced by Yamashita, it's Yagen Toushirou. And it's Tsurumaru Kuninaga voiced by Soma, not Namazuo Toushirou. (Same voice actor, different character, Aizen and Namazuo haven't been announced for Katsugeki) |

I just find it a bit odd that they wouldn't exploit one the most popular characters to market the show Well, by this logic, Mikazuki and Kashuu should be the obvious choice but if there is a reason, I was able to observe that Touken Ranbu adaptations (live actions, musicals) then it's because they focus on a certain historical sequence which the characters are known for. Shinsengumi stories are the most common (which Katsugeki will tackle probably). Kogitsunemaru has but one legend and can only affect other Sanjou swords, but then again it would not have much impact as a historical show. Thank you! I'm new to this fandom. |
