Wasn't this by the guy who made Fist from the North Star? The character designs are very retro (NOSES!).

The story wasn't too compelling though and I think those 2 are a bit too overpowered to make this a good show. Lets see.

Hmm. Wasn't that great for a start. Going to wait for the 2nd episode to see if it's worth watching.

Kinda unimpressed, I will keep watching. But the art felt very static, the voices were a little off, and I don't know about the story. Hopefully it will be interesting.

So far enjoying episode 1 with the manliness and the hot mature women. Would've enjoyed more if it's faster-paced and darker. But then again maybe I'm expecting too much Hokuto no Ken from it. Definitely looking forward to episode 2.

I actually enjoyed the first episode, even if the pacing seems very slow and the animation being low budget and all. Seems the manliness appeals to me. I will be sticking with this series till the end.

Definitely not the best of this season but it's fine so far. I got kinda confused through the whole episode, I don't know if it's just me but I couldn't get into the plot. I had to pay A LOT of attention to understand it. It was okay, I'll give this show an opportunity.

It is indeed low budget, but I don't really see why this is bad. Actually, it's pretty interesting and particular in its own way. Also, I can sense some strong bromance.
And ... bromance is cool.

Anyway, manly anime for menly men. I like it.

I find it quite ordinary, but the score is lower than I would expect. Well, that proves that people will like more stupid anime if it only looks better.

Knowing the Sengoku/Warring States era would make it better to understand. Playing some Sengkou-based games, and there are a lot of those, made it easier for me to understand what's going on. I didn't get everything, obviously, but the point of the show was pretty clear, for everyone: It's gonna be a GAR bromance anime, so people shouldn't expect more than that.

Budget wasn't that great, but still not that bad. The episode as a whole was pretty good for what it is. Though I can see it's not for everyone.

Pretty much best anime of the season for me so far.

Everything was so.... BIG.
The close-ups are BIG BIG heads, the long shots are BIG BIG bodies with tiny tiny heads and a few elephants can fit into their necks.

Everything was so disproportionate. They had some interesting character designs to use, but they just made bad puppets out of them.

Too slow anyhow. Not watching. I didn't even cross the half mark. It was just too.. imma-gonna-muscle-in-yo-face!

You're not breaking any rules but saying ''If you don't like it watch something else'' is one of the most stupid things any person can say.

Although I am a fan of Sengoku story and game, this episode is really boring to watch.
I have no problem with the animation or the Sengoku heroes being on steroids, but they really need to work on the plot. If the story still boring next episode, I have to drop.

However, I do appreciate them to doing a respectable historical genre into the mist of current disturbing trend of excessive moe, fanservice, ecchi, and homo theme anime.

I came to this thread to discuss epsiode 1 of this anime. However, for someone reprimanding another user for being rude, perhaps you should have picked a better and less abrasive and emo username. Get over yourself.

As far as the anime, idc about the low budget quality. There are far too many cookie-cutter anime getting high budgets. I like my rom-coms and slice of life series as much as any fan of those styles, but damn, the market seems to be saturated with harem anime. It's nice to see a historical piece of some sort, even if the first episode was rather slow. I'll watch episode 2 and see how it goes.

Samurai/historical/bromance theme sounded interesting but it was quite boring. :/
And the art/animation is just terrible. A different style is nice sometimes - but this is just incredibly bad.
So: dropped. I think I've never dropped anything DURING the first episode, so this is a first.

No, unfortunately this one will not be my favorite this season.

It was like meh the whole time, but I didn't really expect much anyway, being such a low-budget series.

Because this is totally as bad as xxlifeiscruelxx or lostandforgottensoul or anything of the likes, eh?

OP was alright. ED gave me this traditional feeling.

Characters are Keiji Maeda, Kanetsugu Naoe, and Kagekatsu Uesugi.

I'm still wondering what happened to Keiji's hair.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Lol me too. He probably lost it in that whatever uwanariuchi battle lol.

Seriously, I like it so much, well but then I am kinda biased toward sengoku era :) <3 Will keep watching for the GAR-ness and male bonding. Who cares about low budget anyway, it fits the show.
