Synopsis

In 1863, Izuminokami Kanesada and his partner, Horikawa Kunihiro, arrive in the streets of Edo from the future to investigate their master's reports of an upcoming enemy invasion. As humanoid manifestations of the famous Toshizou Hijikata's swords, they have been tasked with protecting history from the Retrograde Army that seeks to alter it. Soon enlisting the help of other sword warriors, they continuously battle the mysterious army throughout the Bakumatsu period.

However, their journey will not be an easy one. Fraught with blood and betrayal in the chaotic era closest to their hearts, the duo will be forced to make difficult decisions with everything they care about on the line.

There are benefits on watching a show without knowing the source material: you don't create expectation.

Also... I know from the ...

This anime is based off a browser game, and as such, having a good, working knowledge of said game will help you enjoy the anime- you'll know about the characters, the story, and pretty much make your enjoyment that much better... the problem is, though, said game is a) an internet browser card game, and b) only available in Japanese.

Yes, I know there are wikis and things that talk about the characters, but honestly, it's a 13-episode anime that you could binge in a weekday if you so wanted. It's just... even a little hint of what was going on would be appreciated, instead of ...
