First of all I gotta say, how Is nobody talking about this show . The animation style is great the characters are intriguing and it is a mature samurai tale . I have to say being a fan of more mature anime story telling the opening episode does set a good tone for the rest of the series. The music and sound design is also another big plus. The problem with shows like these are that they don't get enough support from fans that want to see more things like this . If you are even remotely into samurai , action or adventure stories you'll definitely find something to like about this show.
Shows like these rarely get made. A fun hidden gem that doesn't reinvent the wheel by no means. But, respects the viewers time and gives you what you want to see which is just pure entertainment and solid storytelling. So what are you waiting for give it a chance and see why even the basic act of revenge is not only bitter sweet, it's an absolute must watch....
