| It looks promising from the first episode. But i have no idea wtf is going on. Can somebody please explain. I have no knowledge about asian history and the world being in a alternate history timeline makes it much harder to understand. As far as i can tell our main group hunts werewolfs?? like wtf? |

| this show seems like a one from the blood series but kinda worse. Some heroine with kinda undead-ish power killing monster. And you don't understand anything because of 2 reasons, 1 - there is nothing much to explain. 2 - it's just the first episode. Basically, the mc want to kill because shit happened when she was a kid and somehow she ended up in that organization that is killing those monster that I don't remember how they were called. It seems to have a setting aound 1800-1900 in an alternate japan, or something similar. Not 100% sure because I didn't pay that much attention. |

| The original manga was the mother of all action ecchi with a female MC. Including, if I'm not mistaken, creation of a trope "psycho lesbian who tries to rape a cool female hero". But it doesn't look like it will in any way try to reach out to ecchi roots. |

MoonDragon72 said: I think this is supposed to be a loose adaptation of the film Lady Snowblood The film itself is loosely based on the original manga, and the new anime has nothing to do with it.

Excuse me, what?? Have you ever heard of the original Lady Snowblood manga before? It is a rather iconic work that has influenced many genres and created a number of tropes like "woman with a sword in an umbrella". And yes, this work was one of the main sources of inspiration for ecchi action, especially its yuri-ish parts. Which is not surprising when you remember that it was written by the author of The Crying Freeman. |

| @RobertBobert: I see. Never heard of that manga, or honestly of that trope either. Thanks, that was informative. |

Well, it was pretty cult and, as far as I can see, was officially published in English a long time ago. But as far as I can tell, the anime only uses the main motive, making the rest of the elements more tame. At least I doubt that here we will see MC killing someone with lesbian sex (yes, this is the actual moment from the original). |

| Generic revenge story. Girl witnesses her family being murdered, swears revenge. A little bit of edginess added. Main girl joins this shady Nue organisation only so they would train her so she could exact her revenge, but is not loyal to them one bit. Said organisation is anything but nice guys. Obviously, they'll turn out to be antagonists responsible for her family's death. Beyond obvious. |
