For all the reasons the anime gets a bad rep are what also makes it enjoyable to watch. There are quite a lot of monologues and self declarations by the MC that come off cheesy and cliché but that’s also what makes him so endearing.

You have our MC who is setting out for the first time and is tired and confused by all the violence and fear around him. He gets recruited to be a member of the local Shinsengumi faction and from there hopes to create a not so distant future where children are able to grow up free from oppression. It’s your typical ... historical drama with attractive male characters who charm and cut shit up.

Overall the anime is cliche and you’ve seen this done a million times but for some reason it works for this show. The characters are charismatic the MC is a child so it doesn’t come off pretentious when he monologues as it would in other shows.

If you want something easy to watch with that historical feel then you shouldn’t have a problem with this. It’s not terrible it’s not amazing, it’s simple easy to understand.

The music was great and the animations were gorgeous. You have nothing to lose by watch this anime, but you may just find yourself enjoying it more than you'd thought
