Here is my take on this: Touken Ranbu Hanamaru is not meant to be an "adaptation of the game," it is meant to be a gift to the game players.
People who give low score are mostly people who haven't played the game, which in fact does prove my point. You just gotta admit that you are not the target audience of this anime. And yes, anime is allowed to have a specific target audience. A good anime does not have to please everyone.
Why do I say this series is a "gift" to the game players? Because if you have ever played this game,
...
you'd quickly realize that the gameplay is quite boring and is totally free-to-play. So, how does the company keep the players interested and how do they make money out of this? They mostly gain profit by selling merchandise and by selling tickets for musical and stage adaptation live shows of the game. This anime series is really just another way for them to please the fans, to keep them interested in this game and get them attached to the touken danshi (sword-boys).
All that being said, I can review that me as a game player, I am incredibly pleased by this anime. I love how each small story reveals different sides of the touken danshi as well as their relationship with each other. Every time I feel tired from the game, I will re-watch the whole series and I immediately gain motivation. The enjoyment is 10/10! Yes, I have watched this series for over 5 times already!
