It could have been good. Too bad it wasn't

Because people were just screaming for that title to be licensed...

I don't see it doing well at all. The show isn't that enjoyable if you don't know the history they cover...and when I watched it, it was sometimes months in between episodes because the subbing was slow, and it was hard to remember a lot of stuff. Maybe if I watched it in one go, it'd be better...but I doubt I'm gonna bother.

I saw the series and I definitely did enjoy it and will buy this ASAP. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like history, drama and supernatural powers then check it out. BTW the BGM of this series was great.

Let's just say it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Very love it or hate it plus it failed to play to it's strengths completely. It had a lot of potential.

I don't really understand why they would license this series. It was alright but nothing special..

I think its awesome that they will license a show like this, I for one have never seen it, but at least people who like it will get the chance to own a dvd.

The problem is that there probably aren't enough people who like it enough to want to buy it. Therefore there's a good chance they'll lose money on it. I could be totally wrong on this but I'm just going on what I've seen of people's opinions about the anime. Personally, I liked it, but I wouldn't buy it.

I also think it is nice when something other than the really popular series get licensed but I just don't understand what Sentai is thinking if they want to make money.

I know what ya mean, and I don't know why they do it, but they have always kind of gone for underdog shows like this.

Was this anime good enough to license. I never gave it chance since the anime blogsphere just dumped hate all over it.

Not everyone in the anime blogsphere dumped hate on this. Leon-Gun already said that this show is not for everybody since there's a lot of dialogue and history which most viewers aren't into. There are a lot of good shows out there which are not popular to the mainstream audience and yet, some of them were not licensed yet.

I'm not sure why ppl hated it so much, I think its a highly underappreciated title. Sure its not a masterpiece, but it attempts something that should have been done long time ago. I didnt know the history behind it, but the show explains it fully by ep 7 and theres also an excellent recap ep that sums up the whole history.
Still, I'm not going to buy the DVD because it wasnt THAT good.

If they add it in Netflix I'm sure it's good enough for a rent.

Popuarity rarely equals quality. Because the majority of anime lovers are complete anime otaku that prefer watching some shallow series like Baka to Test to Shokanjuu, Oreimo, etc and stuff instead of watching something that actually has some thought put into it.

But yeah, this show's hard to like if one's not interested in history. I, for one, love history and I absolutely adore this show, one of my top favourites and I'm happy they're licensing it. Maybe if they do a good promotion, it'll become more popular within the US.

I bought this series on sale, because I couldn't rent it. I'm not very far into it, but I'm enjoying it so far.
