| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wakamoto Norio! Probably one of the best of this season. I liked the OP (both the song and the samurai dance part,) the ending was good too, and the animation was nice and fluid, no problems with the voice acting, blah blah. Hope some group starts subbing this, can make use of some subs since I couldn't understand some parts of it; at least the engrish was understandable. That woman in green gives me creeps. |
| Understood a bit of it since I've played both Samurai Warriors and Devil Kings. Still, I'm itching for a sub. I was very happy with what they did with the first episode. The animation is hot, and I love the spin they're giving it. The samurai dance part was hilarious. I'll keep this one on my radar. |
| who is subbing it? |
    |
| Huge Basara fan and I loved the hell out of it. XD They're really catering to the fans of the games, but I think the series will be enjoyable even to those who aren't familiar with them. |
| I was bored out of my mind by it. It's the first of the new Spring 09 season series that I am dropping, and after only one episode. But if it's your sort of thing, enjoy... |

| Subs? Haven't seen any come up yet, but I'll let you know if I do. Use this link for a general guide as to who subs what this Spring: http://www.fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_SPRING_2009 |

But if it's your sort of thing, enjoy... lol it's the other way around for me. This is the only new spring 09 anime that I'm definitely not dropping. I liked it a lot better than anything else I've seen so far |
| If only anyone paid attention to the VA list...a near all-star appearance I must say, they had the entire cast from the original Sengoku Basara here. Being a huge fan of the game, I must say my dislike for Yukimura just increased by ten fold. Also we need more NOHIME Also, I LOL'ed at Honganji Kennyo dying under Mitsuhide's blade without even speaking a line |
Kaz said: who is subbing it? I also want to know this. Everything seems quiet on the subbing front. |
| Currently working on http://www.theblankpages.co.uk |
grif said: Well, apparently Shinsen subs are, and some other group I've never heard of. I just hope either someone else picks it up, or the other group are fast, as Shinsen have a tendency of getting so far behind and dropping animes...Kaz said: who is subbing it?

And they did need to show Nobunaga team in front of the burning house as soon as possible. And this episode actually raised my like for Yukimura. "Yukimura! Ouyakata-sama! Yukimura! Ouyakata-sama! Yukimura! Ouyakata-sama! Yukimura! Ouyakata-sama!" |
| 要らない。もうあれは要らない。 血の赤も、骨の白も、焼け爛れる肉の黒も腹から噴き出る臓腑の灰も。 銃剣の煌き弾丸のメタル。軋む戦車の振動に塹壕の饐えた匂い。 |

XD mouselmm said: Also, I LOL'ed at Honganji Kennyo dying under Mitsuhide's blade without even speaking a line LOL same. I wonder if they're handling other minor characters similarly... |
| I hope subs get released soon, I want to see it too T_T. |
 |
| I'm still kind of lost on the plot and how different factions started fighting as well as whats really going on or maybe you need to play the game to really understand it? Well no matter because i gotta say i got hooked quickly into it. Non-stop action with astounding quality animation and a pretty good music score that fits the fast-pace of it all. No need to think for this kind of anime. All you need is to relax and enjoy the pretty quality and stout manly violence in its prime and glory. Totally anticipating for next week's episode. |
| Well, you can kinda understand the reason for all the fighting if you study Sengoku era history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_era |
| 要らない。もうあれは要らない。 血の赤も、骨の白も、焼け爛れる肉の黒も腹から噴き出る臓腑の灰も。 銃剣の煌き弾丸のメタル。軋む戦車の振動に塹壕の饐えた匂い。 |
| Norio Wakamoto as Nobunaga Oda = Epic Win. And, that was quite the awesome episode. The animation was top-notch all throughout the episode, which is something Production I.G. is good at. I so loled at Yukimura and Takeda's parts, pure win. I thought Kasuga would be somewhat more of 'tough' and 'serious'. She seemed too fragile. Man, it totally fooled me when I played Sengoku Basara X. Also, how much more gar can Date be. Esh. Edit: Did anyone noticed how much Date's horse seemed to shape like a bike? Those handles and exhaust pipes are killer. |

| I'm not sure if I'm gonna like this anime. I really like Sengoku or feudal era anime for the most but this anime has too much fantasy mixed with it. The best thing about this anime so far is the interesting and charismatic characters. |

 |
| Wow, such a cool first episode. I had no expectations going in, having known very little about Sengoku era politics and the Samurai Warriors series. Some pretty great voice acting; I'll definitely keep this series. Production I.G. finally managed to do some appealing character designs. |
  |
| What plot is there??? I think there is just to much going on and not really a good storyline. They really didn't provide a good heroine in this anime. |
| This episode halved my IQ. It was that stupid. But it did well in appealing to the part of me that liked stupid things. |
      |
| The Animation was just brilliant, top notch, I loved all the costume designs etc. The plot was a bit off & it was a bit cliche, but I like the historical Japan so I'll be keeping this. And OMG when Nobunaga Oda started to speak, it was like "ALL HAIL BRITANNIA" all over again xD ~Abs |
| The opening is freaking awesome. Seriously. And Nobunaga's VA was brilliant. ALL HAIL BRITANNIA indeed. |
| roronoa zoro speakin da engrish just does not work for me....apart from that, not a bad 1st episode....lets see how far i can go before i drop this one |
| Norio Wakamoto was the main reason why I started this =P As for the episode itself, it was good, not to mention you gotta love Production I.G.'s animation. The opening theme is pretty cool btw. |
| All I have to say is this. "Put ya guns on!" But Wakamoto being Oda Nobunaga was awesome. |
 |
| I've only played the first game in English (Devil Kings, all the names changed etc.) but I was familiar enough with the characters to not be completely confused. Anyway, silly, over-the-top action. I loves it. |
 |
| Although this seems to be one of the less popular series, this looks interesting and promising, one of the better series this season. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this one. ^^; This episode gets a 4/5 from me. |
Seishi said: Production I.G. finally managed to do some appealing character designs. These are actually Capcom designs, so yeah. spineslayer said: They really didn't provide a good heroine in this anime. You just wait for some Matsu/Nohime/Oichi action. //It seems that Wakamoto will forever stay Charles for a lot of people. I, however, just can't unremember VERY MELON. |

| Awesome! That's the kind of anime I've been waiting for! Feudal japanese armies clashing in fierce battles. Strategy, tactics and epic duels. And high-quality animation... Can't wait till next episode. |
 |
| The blonde ninja girl was hot! |
| Three Thousand Realms in a Single Moment |
| Wow! What an action-packed episode! o.o This looks pretty awesome actually. Sure some of the fighting was over-the-top, but since this is from a video game it's understandable and I don't mind really. I always love a good Samurai show, and this one looks like lots of fun. The animation was really top-notch throughout the entire episode, very fluid. I hope it stays like that for the majority of the series. Also, whoever that white-haired guy with the scythes was is bad-ass. Looking forward to more of him. :) Ah, gotta love the obligatory villain with long white hair in animes. They're always my favourites. xD |
| Damn! The 1st episode was awesome! Animation was totally top-notch and the fight scenes exciting and fluid. Voice-acting (my fave VA, Morikawa Toshiyuki, I couldn't recognize his voice at all as Kojuurou!) and soundtrack (made me want to dance up and down) just stellar. The relationship between characters like Shingen and Yukimura is hilarious the way they kept trying to beat the crap out of each other. Also Date-kun's enthusiastic usage of Japlish was lol. Where the hell did he learn his Engrish from? XDD;; Definitely going to keep watching this fun series. |
| Omgah. o_o That surpassed the initial expectations I had for this series. The animation was very well-done, and abingdon doing the OP was very nice to see/hear. I was also highly amused by Date's English and Yukimura/Takeda's random brawls. XDD Looking forward to the next episode, and itching to play the games now. :D |
 |
| Words cannot express how badass that was. Maybe it was a bit cheesy, but nuclear explosions from melee combat and wielding six swords AT ONCE = awesome. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| Hm... that's not my kind of anime. Animation and soundtrack are nice. But story, characters & character design aren't really my thing. I think I'll drop this show =( |
| So gar. That was a great episode, animation looked fabulous. Looking forward to more. Hope Shinsen don't drop this one. |

| HOLY CRAP I LOVE IT. Never heard of the games, but wow the first episode of this series just made me so happy. Awesome fighting, awesome music, awesome characters and awesome history. Best of the Spring '09 anime for me. |
NeloDeath said: Pretty good but didn't make much since. I think this is one of those shows where you're just not supposed to care. xD I'm going to watch it for action and bad-ass battles. :) cyruz said: So gar.

MistressMorbid said: Sure some of the fighting was over-the-top Everything in Basara is over the top. XD And the real Date Masamune was very much interested in outside influences/cultures so that's how in Basara he ends up with the Engrish I guess. |
| i like the fact that its was over the top, i thought it was a great start to its season and i will be waiting for the next episode |

I'm with you!!! This is really boring. And i don't give a s*** to the game too, never played and now i surely won't play. I just don't drop it because i won't ever drop an anime. But i'm seriously thinking about doing it... Hope it gets a little better so i don't get a "Dropped Anime" at my list. |
Anime ga daaaai suki!!! Computer Engineering. Japan is awesome!!! |
| this won't be dropped by me, pretty good start off , pretty cool how Date Masamune 's seiyu is also doing the voice of Zoro from op =D |
