~This anime is about the stories of Fujiki Gennosuke and Irako Seigen, the two extraordinary skilled swordsmen of Iwamoto Kogan's "academy". One of them will eventually become the heir of the academy, which creates a bit of a tension between them, even tho the potential heritage isn't the only thing that makes them dislike each other.
~I find the story really interesting, and the gore element makes it even more appealing to me (hehe) but despite all that, during the series, I felt like something was missing.
~I soon realised that I didn't really care about the death/torture/rape (yes it includes all that) scenes
...
towards most of the characters. I found that I was having a hard time bonding with the characters, mostly because I felt like I was just a spectator to whom the feelings and the emotional states of the characters weren't fully displayed. Most of the characters are closed to themselves, rarely expressing any feelings. Some people might like that, but after a while it made me lose interest in the story and be amused only from the interesting gore scenes.
~After all, it is a great story, with interesting animation (everyone looks alike yet so different), character development but lacks expression towards the viewer. If only I could sympathise with a character or really feel what it's like for them to change, this series would be so, so much better.
Aaaand that was my review teehee ~~~
