SynopsisThe continuation of Hakuoki.
The Edo Era has ended after 260 years of history and the Meiji Era begins. However, bitter strife still continues between the soldiers of the new government and former Tokugawa retainers. This is the stage in which the surviving members of the Shinsengumi find themselves upon their return to Edo following their defeat at Tobafushimi.

Alot of people i have talked to, dislike this anime. Some of the reviews i have read, on here and on other sites, are poor.
In my opinion however this was a great anime. I may not be very experienced in anime watching, but i thought that this show had a great story line and great characters. I do wish this show had a bit of a happier way about it, but based on what it did have i think it was a very sad, yet amazing anime.
I would surely watch this again, and reccomend it to people. It may not be the best anime out there, I have seen beter ones, but in my opinion it is no where near the worst and is great!
I gave this anime a 9/10 overal I think i need to see more anime to decide weather or not this is truely a great anime, but so far in my book it is excellent. read more

I can sum up what I thought of both anime series in one quote:
"you caught me monologuing?!?" ~ The Incredibles (Disney Pixar)
but seriously between the redundant fight scenes and overly dramatized death scenes where each character got just enough time to say what was on their mind before kicking the bucket ... it wasn't that bad. (yes I realize the irony in writing a run on sentence for that thought :p)
The characters were the main reason to watch this series. Though the plot has many loop wholes and the scenarios are boring, the male characters are enjoyable and give this anime a reason for living. (note I said male characters, the girl seems to just act as a foil to carry the plot along)
The art is beautiful and the character design definitely delivers for fan girl service (count that as a flaw or triumph is up to you).
The Story as noted before as being boring seems like your coming in on the ending, since the plot takes you on a downward spiral the entire time. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there seems to be no intermission for the heavy melodrama here! They talk about happy times running a dilapidated dojo and all I kept thinking was "I'd watch that show over this" ... so if the animators would do a prequel I think it be better than this ... no, really.
So to come to my conclusion of if/ why you should watch this ... um, first congrats for reading down this far ... second, watch 1.) if you have some time to kill 2.) if you like the girl's review below me, better. 3.) you're a die hard anime bishie fan girl/guy (shutters) 4.) or you enjoy historical dramas with mystical creatures such as Oni (my reason for watching) read more

Both deal with supernatural beings ( Vampires and Oni ). Also, all the Oni look very much like Zero and the main characters have a relationship

No question: Wolf's Rain is the superior anime, but they do have a bit in common. Both center around a group that is seen as a menace to society and which the audience is meant to root for. Both also boldly kill off an almost unbelievable number of characters. You watch these individuals succeed through many trials, then suddenly that changes and one by one, they're systematically killed. The shift is quite sudden in both cases, but even more pronounced in Wolf's Rain. Obviously, watching the first season of Hakuouki is necessary, but the large amount of character death happens in season two, thus this recommendation. Frequent action and attractive character designs feature in both as well.
