Samurai Deeper Kyo has an unique and bizarre take on edo history, and the battles between samurai. The story has its twists, but when you think that the 'last boss' is defeated, more villians pop up. At first sight, the anime seemed like a fun hilarious anime with kyoushi junior, however when the "demon eyed kyo" takes over the anime starts in a much more serious tone, which prevails till the end.

The story centers around "demon eyed kyo", who has his soul entrapped in somebody else's body, so basically, he goes around defeating villians to get his body back. However, kyo is known as the read more

The first review here is way too harsh. This anime is well worth a watch if your into historical/samurai stuff, it's not as dark and brooding as it sets out to be and the plot can feel a little convaluted at times but the characters are quite endearing and if you can get your head round all the different threads it's very easy to get wrapped up in the story.

I really enjoyed it and found myself watching one episode after another once I'd got past the first few, but I haven't read the manga so if you have you may be in for a bit read more

I have to say, when I started this anime, I expected a lot more from it. The storyline had a lot of potential that was never brought to fruition. The animation was definitely not the best I have seen and by the end of the series I was so bored and disappointed that I was questioning why I bought the series in the first place. Samurai Deeper Kyo is one of those animes that you continue to watch, hoping that it will get better. Unfortunately, it never does. I would not recommend this series to anyone who is looking for meaningful dialog or a compelling read more

Samurai Deeper Kyo is based of the still running manga series by the same name.

In the year 1600, during the battle of Sekigahara, warriors Kyoshiro Mibu and "Demon Eyes" Kyo - the legendary slayer of a thousand men - engaged in fierce combat. Both men disappeared when a meteor crashed in the battlegrounds. Four years later, Kyoshiro is spotted on a rural highway, acting as a traveling medicine salesman. He is captured by the female bounty hunter Yuya Shiina when she discovers that deep inside him is the dormant personality of "Demon Eyes" Kyo himself.

Now on to all the problems I had with read more

overall if you have nothing to watch or you're looking for something that's interesting enough, i think this is it. there's an interesting twist. i don't understand the bad review. it's worth a watch, the first couple episodes are super cliche, but it's still enjoyable.

Se você curte histórias com Samurais contadas de forma tradicional, vai cair do cavalo rapidinho, e sugiro que você vá assistir Rurouni Kenshin. Mas se quer algo de novo, Samurai Deeper Kyo com certeza preenche esse vazio.

A história se passa durante a batalha de Sekigahara, no ano de 1600, onde Onime no Kyo (Olho Demoníaco) aparece lutando com Mibu Kyoshiro, quando algo inesperado acontece: um meteoro cai, e aparentemente ambos morrem. Quatro anos depois, Kyoshiro reaparece como um vendedor de remédios, sendo perseguido por uma caçadora de recompensas, por não ter pago uma conta de um restaurante.

Samurai Deeper Kyo was one of the first anime I saw (after The Guyver and Perfect Blue – an interesting selection). It is the tale of the ‘strongest samurai alive’, a bloodthirsty monster called Demon Eyes Kyo, also known as the Slayer of 1000 Men, and his search for the only thing in the world that is important to him.

For the first few episodes, Samurai Deeper Kyo seems quite formulaic. Kyo establishes himself as a badass who can crush all opposition while sneering disdainfully, and combat consists largely of exchanges of flashy-looking quasi-magic power attacks. So far, so shounen. There are some un-shounen elements read more

Well at first i wasn't interested but it got really interesting since it was close to the bakumetsu era and stuff. Although I don't know why that it didn't really show the other main character and stuff but it was really good since it had a lot of action and stuff in it. this is really enjoyable so i hope that you watch it okay!

good show...seen better but its still good. story is kinda weak, but serves its purpose. everything is easy to understand and the short fighting scenes are good. the only thing that pissed me off was the fact that almost every fight ended with the main character saying something like "did you hear it? the sound of the wind." this show couldve been great if they made just one season longer
