| I thought it was gonna be a lot darker and serious but it surprised me with the comedy aspect. I still like it nonetheless. The ending was nice, but I feel like there could've been more. I hope we have a second season. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this show, the visuals went crazy at times and I liked how sometimes real-world footage would be sporadically thrown in to explain certain concepts. The CGI was bad though, I get why they used it here and there but it was bad. Especially when we'd get a close-up shot of a character and suddenly they're full CGI. Still, I like the story, characters, and setting so hopefully a 2nd season comes soon. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Tonal whiplash aside(only an issue at the beginning tbh), this was pretty fun to watch. Visuals are pretty good too, though the CGI does flip-flop quite a bit, ranging from watchable to not so. S2 looks inevitable, and I am hoping for more of Takauji. |
 |
| Okay, that was a load of fun and I just love when shows have their own style and flair. In the end, it came down to an honourable retreat which is very fitting for the series title. We got the Takauji tease on episode 10, after all. Show did feel it derailed a little bit but I’m liking where this is going, nonetheless. I’m surprised the strategist didn’t decide to take out the puppet leader. I get his point about bad leadership but he’s just too rash and would lead to a lot of more casualties. Koujirou not taking out the general might prove to be a little naive in the long run too. Kazama’s dream lady wasn’t fake after all, xD. Seeing the happy faces in the end there was wonderful upon the forces return. Tokiyoki-dono and co.’s return in the form of scroll writing was a great touch too. 8/10 from here, here’s to hoping for a sequel with equally creative content! It’s not going to be easy topping this op and ed, that’s for certain, lol. |

| I won't be back for season 2, it was just too shallow |
| 35 years old ossan who still watches anime |
| OMG Kojirou is like the cutest brave warrior ever. I would have idolized him when I was eleven. Oh yea just as you're thinking Hey this is a cute kids show he goes and splits a guy's head open... This is one of the weirdest takes on Samurai anime I've ever seen. The ending theme is ridiculous, the enemies are all literal clowns and all of them are morons, but it's bloody as hell. Think definitely planned for more seasons, at least one more. This did not reach Greatness level because it was too weird and messed up and too violent to also be a comedy, but I guess I'm thankful for the lighthearted tone since otherwise this would have been too dark and depressing. It was so much more pleasant to watch than like Meiji Gekken 1874... Some of the goons they fought were a little too freaky and comically drawn. I got Golden Kamuy vibes at times, other times I was just confused. But then Tokiyuki, Kojirou, Genba and Shizuku were so freaking adorable it was like... didn't know what to consider. Will definitely watch S2 but only if it stays the same. It has a unique thing going and I love the characters too much. |

| The ending didn't feel like an ending. I thought we'd get the announcement of the second season soon... it was a fun action and revenge show. |
 |
| Kojiro vs that UB Yonemaru was Amazing battle!! "Losing has never felt so good." What a quote. Gonna missed all the goofy and their shenanigans. Overall it's a good historical action Anime with comedy in it. 7.5/10 from me Hopefully we got season 2 announcement ASAP. |
 |
| It had its great moments, it had shit moments too. Bizarre elements will certainly stick in my head for some time. The animation was either superb or cringe (with some CGI). This better get a continuation though, otherwise S1 would amount to just a ton of weird shit on a golden platter. |
| Pretty enjoyable first season. Can't wait for the next season. The animation was really good as expected of CLW. Quite ambitious. |
 |
| If it wasn't for the visuals (outside of the horse fights), I don't think I would have ever watched this. |
| Really solid. AssClass author is really good at writing comedy and compelling / fun characters. I would not mind more of this show |

Sigmar-Unberogen said: Perfect summary. And the very first/final field sequences, respectively in the first and last episode, looked awfully like ai.It had its great moments, it had shit moments too. Bizarre elements will certainly stick in my head for some time. The animation was either superb or cringe (with some CGI). This better get a continuation though, otherwise S1 would amount to just a ton of weird shit on a golden platter. Who needs endings anyway? Better having a truly badass and interesting op villain, hyping him and... oh wait time's up. Let's just show the kids riding away. Peeps are calling this solid, great, amazing. I call it trolling. 10th episode had better closure than the 12th: cliffhanger, but at least with intrigue and new elements, instead of a stupidly mid battle. The cute boys and Takauji's potential are literally my only reasons to keep watching - if they renew this, I won't cry if they won't. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Where's Season 2??? |
| Some of the graphics were a little wonky but not a bad ending. Lets hope for another season |
| this was a joy from start to finish and I am so happy a second season is on the way |
| looking forward for s2! I'm still lazy to try reading the manga |
Crazy for Siyun Baek and Park Yunsu   |
| Nice battle to end this season and of course it's gonna continue since we're in the middle of the story, not everyone will agree with me but I would say this show has been totally carried by its animation, direction and OST, I mean the production overall is perfect but the story doesn't use the potential it had at the beginning especially regarding the MC and the whole "elusive samurai" aspect, it just became kind of boring with these battles and despite the pacing feeling good the show itself feels kinda slow regarding the events, still a fine show to me overall but if I had to read the manga I would probably dislike it |
 |
| I liked it more than I thought I would. We've got a main character who's fun to follow as well as an effective secondary cast, especially Yorishige in season 1. I liked the storytelling, the breaking of the 4th wall and the elements that link the past and the present and its integration into the narrative, as well as the ingenious implementation of the supernatural. The author knew what he was doing. From a visual point of view, we're dealing with one of the most impressive shows of the year, full of well-developed visual ideas. I mean, whereas I've found that the Japanese animation medium has been stagnating for the last 10 years visually speaking, I tell myself that here it does honour to modern times with something technically irreproachable: 3D, animation, compositing, sets, sound effects. A very competent team produced this anime. I think it lacked a touch of epicness to make it a favourite. The fact that children can compete so easily against an army of adults is also a bit of a turn-off for me (the show is apparently based on historical events), and it's a shame that even in the current manga I think they're still children, the idea of following all the stages of a life in a shônen is something I really appreciate, but it doesn't have to last forever either. Nevertheless, I'm excited to see what happens next. |
| Too bad that the season ended with this. I've rarely seen such an easy entry anime that turned out so enjoyable in every episode. a bit of an odd choice to have kids fight against samurai in a very bloody way, but each of the characters are gold and so are their interactions and reltionships . Tokiyuki is so damn cute and the special ability was nice. Overall peak of shounen genre 10/10 |

| Did they give an explanation of why the girls didn't go with Tokiyuki? Am I remembering right that they said it would be "too dangerous"? Shizuku I can understand but Ayako? I guess it was just a convenient way to reduce the number of characters but how strange.. The show was ok. I liked the presentation, the main character, and was intrigued by the plot but found the mix between comedy (which I didn't really find funny) and bloody action jarring. I will watch S2, I'm curious where the show will go in terms of plot (I don't understand all the future references). |
