| Words cannot express how badass that was. Maybe it was a bit cheesy, but nuclear explosions from melee combat and wielding six swords AT ONCE = awesome. |
Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot. |
| Hm... that's not my kind of anime. Animation and soundtrack are nice. But story, characters & character design aren't really my thing. I think I'll drop this show =( |
| So gar. That was a great episode, animation looked fabulous. Looking forward to more. Hope Shinsen don't drop this one. |

| HOLY CRAP I LOVE IT. Never heard of the games, but wow the first episode of this series just made me so happy. Awesome fighting, awesome music, awesome characters and awesome history. Best of the Spring '09 anime for me. |

I think this is one of those shows where you're just not supposed to care. xD I'm going to watch it for action and bad-ass battles. :) cyruz said: So gar.

MistressMorbid said: Sure some of the fighting was over-the-top Everything in Basara is over the top. XD And the real Date Masamune was very much interested in outside influences/cultures so that's how in Basara he ends up with the Engrish I guess. |
| i like the fact that its was over the top, i thought it was a great start to its season and i will be waiting for the next episode |

dbaranyi said: I was bored out of my mind by it. It's the first of the new Spring 09 season series that I am dropping, and after only one episode. But if it's your sort of thing, enjoy... I'm with you!!! This is really boring. And i don't give a s*** to the game too, never played and now i surely won't play. I just don't drop it because i won't ever drop an anime. But i'm seriously thinking about doing it... Hope it gets a little better so i don't get a "Dropped Anime" at my list. |
Anime ga daaaai suki!!! Computer Engineering. Japan is awesome!!! |
| this won't be dropped by me, pretty good start off , pretty cool how Date Masamune 's seiyu is also doing the voice of Zoro from op =D |
| Lovin the fan service :] Very good start to the show. This is definitely number one on my priority list |
  |
| wow, I really wasn't expecting much but it looks like they're really going all out with this one. Lots of recognizable seiyuu at every angle, over-the-top animation in crystal clarity, nice soundtrack... and this first episode was overflowing with gar badasses having fun...... I'd say I'm hooked. I'll be amazed if P. IG can keep this up this quality for 12 episodes, but there's a lot of sengoku era fighting to cover. If they manage to keep it fresh, I may have to revise my favorites list. |
 I am a banana. |
| Are you ready guys?! Put the guns on!! Oh Date, you're so funny. Man this was a great episode, everything I expected to happen came true with an extra side of "YUKIMURA!! OYAKATASAMAA!!!". For people who haven't played the game or don't really understand the intentions, try not to look too deep. There is history involved in this but don't expect History Channel accuracy, obviously they're going for lighting a flame in your heart, burning soul badassery type of thing here(lots of strung together words lol). |
| First episode was amazing, wasn't what I expected Loved it The soundtrack kick ass and the fighting scene was well done Looking forward to the next episode... just wondering, did anyone else saw Date horse? Pimp my horse?? or am i imagining things? Lol |

Pimp my horse?? or am i imagining things? Lol Nope I definitely saw some handle bars on that horse. I think Date's new song should be "I can ride a horse with no handle bars". Best song ever. |
| Wow, pretty explosive. Yukimura Oyakata-sama Yukimura Oyakata-sama Yukimura Oyakata-sama i lol'd |
 |
| hm... conflicting feeling about this the good? fighting isn't too bad, music and graphics are decent. Awesome voice acting. the bad? they jumped staright into it without much background info, which made episode 1 rather confusing. I guess i'll try a few more episodes (and I'll try to remember the names) |
| Wow this was a pretty badass episode. It's so full of hot blood and manliness. I lol'd at Date Masamune and his horse. The ninja girl was pretty hot too. |
 |
| Fun over the top action fights "Are you ready, guys? Put ya guns on!" Wtf. Completely threw me the fuck off. Did not expect engrish. Fun over the top action fights... not bad. *checks wikipedia* |
 HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT THAT WAS AWESOME I CAN HEAR THE SEIYUU LAUGHING LOLOLOLOL  |
| Now that was some good old fashioned manly GAR action! I summarized it as exp ((Dragon Ball z + Casshern Sins)*historical japan + some heavy metal) all-star VA cast. Who would have thought that this season has its jewels afterall.. |
| GAR, that is all. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. The story will probably make no sense for someone who doesn't know much about Japanese history, but I don't care. Seiyuu are awesome, fights are awesome, characters are awesome, animation is awesome and I think that's all this anime is trying to do. 5/5 first episode. Oh, Kazuya Nakai engrish is EPIC engrish |

| I watched this yesterday and found my only reason to continue this series is because a bunch of my favorite actors are in here... namely, Kazuya Nakai, Soichiro Hoshi and Takehito Koyasu. :D |

| I'm torn. On one hand it really wasn't very good. On the other hand I love the whole HOT-BLOODED SAMURAI gimmick. Guess this will get put on my "wait and see" list. |
| Eh, not my thing but nice OP. ABS <3 First drop of the season~ |
     |
| Damn this was awesome, didnt get much of the so called story but hey, im not complaining, one of my fav VA's Nakai Kazuya has yet again found himself being one badass samurai :p probably felt he could do better than a triple wielding samurai, six frikkin swords hell yeah! also pimped horse with handlebars and exhaust pipes is teh shit really couldnt see where the "historical" fits in though :p |
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely |
| well made anime but what is this all about lol;d? |
| well not bad actually |
| I really love the historical Japan but all that fantasy stuff around the fights are a huge turn off to me, even if I still enjoy all those games around this theme. And the art and animation is so great it makes me wanna watch more. I'm in love with the voice acting in this show, so many hot voices! <3 Not sure if I can finish it, but let's try~ |
| My impression switched between "awesome!!" and "wtf?! That's sooo ridiculous!" every 12 seconds... XD After understanding that this anime is not to be taken seriously, I think it can be a good comedy and I'll stick with it for now. ^^ EDIT: Damn, why did they make Mitsuhide that hot?! I used to hate him in history class, but his design in this anime temps me to like him now... Btw, does talking about what happened in REAL history count as a spoiler for this anime? o_O |

I'm not sure. This show and the game were based on the Sengoku era after all. |

| Awesome seiyuu cast, and only 12 episodes in which there is no time for planet Namek(if you know what I mean). Shonen battle anime as it should be. That horse and the Engrish was a bit disturbing though... 9/10 |
 |
| Uh, not what I expected at all. Seems cool nonetheless... just, whoa. |
 |
| That was fucking amazing. Animation was brilliant and probably the best voice cast I've seen in a long ass time. This had everything that I want in an anime. Fuck yeah exhaust pipes on a horse! This was born of manliness. |
| . |
| Definitely the most badass first ep of the season. Never played the game but from the first minute in I was hooked. So badass. Engrish in ancient Japan, lmao. |
Wheelman56 said: Definitely the most badass first ep of the season. You should check out Basquash as well, it's as exciting as Sengoku Basara and maybe even more ;) In general, this episode was very good and at the same time so fast in a good sense -12 episodes wouldnt be enough otherwise-. Characters seem quite interesting, especially the interaction between Yukimura and Ouyakata made me laugh quite a bit. Definitely looking forward to more, this series is the series that i'm definitely not dropping in this season ^^ |
   |
| Great action in medieval Japan! I adored! |
 |
| Haven't played the game but shonen flavoured action/historical anime is failure. First ep: 6/10 |
| FUCKING AWESOME |

| whoa, it was... weird? I have no idea what's going but it's my fix of random action and manliness this season, the animation, seiyuus and music are pretty cool, definitely the strong points of the series. the Oyakata sama - Yukimura dialogues are pretty funny. |
| That was much better than I was expecting from this series which is always a good thing. Really like the OP as well and the animation as well. Some of the character designs are a little iffy for me though. |
| I enjoyed the first ep, likable characters, the story isn't all SERIOUS BUSINESS, good animation... Definitely something I'm going to watch. |
| Awesome voice actors. High production value.. Everything looked great.. Nice 'camera'-work .. pumping music.. but.. I almost died when watching this anime, becuz of the lame characters, lame dialogues, lame jokes (Rock Lee/Gai Sensei jokes?? ), shit story, supernatural shit in a historical setting (WTF!! ok.. ok game-adaptation), main-stream rock music (which I liked a bit.. damn..), no extreme violence, bleh.. (no(/hardly any) boobage :|).. Conclusion: SHITE Am I getting old you guys?? WTF... |
