What started as a masterpiece quickly started to go to ruin after chapter 6 like the calm before the storm.
The first 6 chapters were a new ray of light that had you not knowing what was coming next, nothing could be predicted and gave a strong ray of excitement chapter after chapter, unfortunately, it all tumbles downhill from chapter 7 onwards...
Initially, I wanted to rate this 10 then 6 then 3 and now 2 every chapter I read it gets ridiculous full-on nonsense.
Story: The first 6 chapters are clearly written by someone else aside from the rest of the story, it's like
...
someone stole someone's work and then tried changing the writing not to be accused of plagiarism that how different the first 6 chapters are from the rest of the story.
The MC is introduced as someone who came from Japan to look for his enemies who killed his master and fled. we see mc fighting as a mercenary and using his brain for strategies that make him make use of his gun skills to win against huge armies in unexpected ways. Even the woman that the author has set to be with mc is someone who is not useless and is actually helpful which shies away from the norm.
Unfortunately, that is only until chapter 6 from then onwards it's all the usual cliches, every battle is predictable, the woman? She's now weak and someone who gets in way of mc at every turn in the series situations. for example, if it's against his enemies something has to go wrong or someone gets in the way etc and it's normally the girl. she is only useful in non-important situations.
Let's not even talk about how the MC and his Nemises are master riflemen who can shoot accurately from 500m+ but only against anyone else but themselves. Yes the MC and Nemises have plot armour that makes them miss if they are even 50m from each other and even if they are taken by surprise even if they don't move at all.
So the story revolves all around mc killing his enemies to end the story there's no deep story or anything past the basics. What's worse is that all the scenes and writing that would get you excited for battles are all gone. every battle or situation comes out of nowhere like a magic trick which is basically forced drama and this escalates and becomes worse and even worse every chapter.
"Girl being told her cross well get her hanged as a witch because it's a certain religion with M on the cross, the girl goes out of her way to etch the M on the said cross and makes it apparent to everyone which to no ones surprise she get in trouble about it".
A lot of forced drama that makes you be like wtf " MC watches a girl gets dragged, put in prison and doesn't act until she is burned to go save her at the last second" it's not like he even arrived late, and let's watch because you know mc doesn't want to kill the peasants who want to kill the girl for being a witch who absolutely did nothing wrong right? so peasants are good people right? wtf is the author writing, frankly I'd believe it if they told me it was a retard author.
Art: First 6 chapters are brilliant, full of blood, gore, very detailed scenes etc but once again from then on it degrades and becomes nothing out of the ordinary.
Characters: Frankly it's very shallow, we get 1 sudden flashback to explain what happened between MC and his Nemesis and that's pretty much it.
The drive behind the whole thing(minor spoiler)? is to get the stolen gun back to japan to save the Slut, the daughter of his master, who he was going to marry but got willingly cucked by his nemesis the other disciple before he killed the master with help of the master's daughter (unknowingly) and then abandoning her for her to apologise to said mc and ask for forgiveness to save her own skin...
That's all the character building, no other characters have any reasonable development or reason for their actions.
Frankly, it's a shit show, things happen at random, you can not make left from right and nothing seems to ever make sense or go as planned.
Update: Chapter 30 is now rated 1 star, it's utterly ridiculous and not enjoyable at all. Cut scenes everywhere, no strategy, no excellent gun scenes, just trash-tier garbage storytelling with plot armour for the win. Everything is utterly predictable and common sense doesn't work.
EG: Oh I shot your gun but all that happened was it went up In the air but works fine without any fault? amazing must be made out of indestructible material, oh but my armour got shot through yeah it's made out of paper, right? very idiotic.
Another example of stupidity, I cut my leg, fall in a river, fall through the waterfall and survive... as if he wouldn't already die from excessive bleeding but on the other hand, I get a scratch and I am on my death bed for days...
this shit surpasses comedy...
Like seriously, mc finds a traitor who got the whole army dead including his friend.... oh yeah let's let him live without a scratch since he told me 1 useful piece of information... doesn't really make his revenge desirable right? i wish mc dies and story gets burnt up.

Season 1 was a banger 10/10 for me but season 2 could not have been written any worse then todays shows that target nude scenes and romance that lack any vibe, story or awesomeness.
Season 1 we have an irregular, someone who surprises us at every turn, is super powerful and uses his power from the get go. He has a lot of secrets that surprise us and showed a lot of fight scenes with cool music. Season 2 however is idle from that concept, we focus on a girl called Angelina and the usa forces from episode 1-10 that add no context or development ... Dec 15, 2020

DO NOT WATCH BEFORE READING THE MANGA!!!
I really had to make a review to say the above words to warn everyone. This 4 episode skip a large part of the story [around 100 chapters] which is pretty much 90% of the development and what really makes this anime a tear jerker. Not only is a 100 or so chapters skipped but even remaining ending Arcs are stacked on top of each other interjoin to make 4 episodes so the story flaws in a different way to the manga. A lot of the development is skipped, its like presenting the couple being together without ... Nov 11, 2019
At first i thought this anime was only golden comedy then it become serious and at some times it made you think that its unrealistic. Its an emotional roller-coaster throughout the journey.
But in the end it makes you cry rivers, one of the best masterpiece classics in existence. For an anime that was created in the 80s its animation, sound and story are much better then some of nowadays anime. I rate this anime paced in its timeline the 80s and not nowadays, in terms of its time everything is a perfect 10. If you were watching this when it aired you ... Nov 9, 2019
10/10 I have watched all 52 episodes at least 5 times, this show is the best, no cliche's no harems, no girl shit, just full on action and drama. This is by far the best anime compared to a lot of shows nowadays that are ruined by fan service and annoying girly voices.
The story is one of a kind, never found anywhere else and can be called a masterpiece. The art is also a masterpiece, in its era and even nowadays i find that art to be by far better then nowadays anime art. Sound is extraordinary very nicely composed to go with the action ... Jan 28, 2017
This Anime has a lot of potentials and is very funny as hell.
Story: 5 - The story is quite funny, it is full of drama and not a lot of cliches. It has a lot of character development but would do with more fight scenes. Art: 5 - The animation is nothing special but the chibi comedy moment are always soo cute and very nicely drawn. Sound: 6 - The Music is very enlightening and could easily be in one of the top 10 Op and End of the season. Character: 6 - It's nice to finally see an anime with less ... Sep 18, 2015

You go into this anime expecting exciting paintball game/tournament action full of fights and action packed scenes but in truth it's a lie.
Story: 4 Not much depth is related to the main character Tachibana and the main story is about a sub-character who is afraid of an enemy he keeps losing towards. The enemy is preserved as a douchebag but in reality there is no story whatsoever or scenes that relate to him being a bad person but in reality scenes that show his honest truth. In the end its al about a girl who is secretly shown as a man to ... |
