| This anime is not good lol, Although it's not boring either. Anyway This ending failed to make me emotional.I almost got teared up while watching Romeo x Juliet unlike this one. 7/10. |
| This was such a disappointment. So, we have: an immortal character (who revives 5 - okay, 4.5 - times in 24 episodes!), another character who is the only one capable of standing against the immortal one (although he's blinded almost as soon as his ability is introduced), his beloved girl who just so happens to be blinded pretty soon as well (this show has a weird fetish for blind people), a huge cast of bland characters who don't induce any emotions whatsoever, and an ending so corny it practically renders the whole show meaningless. I honestly was expecting so much more. 5/10 |
| Not a bad anime to be honest, it has a good animation, soundtrack and most characters were interesting... but not the main ones though. This last chapter was not surprising at all to be honest, it's what exactly I expected. Overall 6/10. Also I really disliked the pacing here. |
 MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |
| I was about to say this ending was directed and written wonderfully, but then Gennosuke made the genius decision of recording the Iga as having won their feud, despite the Kouga being the victors. Not only did this make no sense, but it trampled on the efforts of his fellow Kouga members who gave up their lives for their cause. Recording the Kouga as the victors would not change their star-crossed lovers dynamic, or his suicide after walking into the river. This anime was adequate, and is adept at conveying the brutality and tragedy of a setting based around feuding clans. The narrative unfolded at a sufficent pace, and there wasn't any outstanding issues with the animation either. What let it down was the irrational, inconsistent characters mostly defined by their relationships and bizarre frothing hatred for the opposing clan. Oboro, Saemon and Tenzen all seemed to make decisions fitting their motives, but the rest were blank slates whose behaviour was puppeteered by whatever direction the plot wanted to hurtle towards. Even the main protagonist is barely a character, and doesn't do or say anything for most of the anime. |
