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 ^^

Man both this and Basquash! are probably going to be my favorite animes of the season. The op was pure win. Awesome characters and great animation. Haven't played the game but can tell I'm still going to love this.

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.

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...

To the guy above me, you went in wanting the show to be shit and in return, that is what you got.

I've never heard of the game series but I just simply related the characters, settings, and battles to what I learned from SAMURAI WARRIORS and my WIKIPEDIA BROWSING.

The animation is nice and smooth, which was good enough to grab my attention. Furthermore, that episode is great so far, and it has some good action scenes, which was awesomeness, as I enjoyed them.

Didn't like the "over the top" superpower action in this anime.
As a huge SAMURAI WARRIORS fan, maybe I'm gonna keep watching this.

The story changed active characters so much that i never really felt attached to any single character. The characters also didn't seem to be anything to write home about but then we don't know much about them since they changed so much. I will say that dual wielding spears is a very cool looking fighting style, but his interactions with the head general just grew to be tiring after a VERY short while. I couldn't imagine watching 12 episodes full of him sucking up to his leader at every turn.

The fighting wasn't that interesting to me at least as often times it just turned in to crazy over the top energy balls instead of seeing two people actually fighting. Using powers above human level is fine, but when your fighting consists of two waves of bland energy crashing in to each other, you're doing it wrong. I'm just waiting for one of the guys to tell me that the enemy's power level is over 9,000 now...

I might watch another episode, but unless things improve a lot, there are a lot of better series out this season.

LMAO I don't even know what to think. On one hand it was ridiculously overpowered and full of absurd attacks. On the other hand, I had a lot of fun watching it. I think I'll end up following this to the end.

Im a little confuse by this anime... so I cant decide wether I like it or not.
Story happened so fast I felt I was thrown in the middle of something (fans of the game probably dont feel this way huh?)
Fights were good, the whole Yukimura-Takeda was hilarous and I love the seiyuu's so I'll watch a couple more episodes

Animation: Phenomenal - battle scenes, character designs, OP - seriously top notch
Characters: some likable, kick-a$$, incredibly battle-oriented guys
Story: Honestly, thinking too deeply about the story will ruin the other aspects of the show--it seems it's meant for pure entertainment as the type of anime that excels in the fields of, mind-blowing, edge-of-your-seat battles, if nothing else.

A good watch if you're in the mood for cool fights and bada$$ samurai with fiery tempers ;D

I watched it today~I'm soo happy that it got animated.

Yukimura wasss sooooo funny LMAO! I just love that part when he says "Oyataka-sama" .I just don't know why i like it especially the part when he and Takeda were fighting xD and Sasuke's expression is love.

The small battle between Yukimura and Masamune was AWESOME.

Kenshin looks a little manly in here.Atleast he doesn't look gay like in the game version and the blond girl which i think is Kasuga looks 0.0 weird.

Anyways ,The OP and ED is cool and fun to listen.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Love is filled with mystery

Now that was just fucking awesome. Amazing animation quality, nice character designs, good OP and ED, and a great cast of voice actors with Norio Wakamoto topping it all off.

Definitely watching this all the way through. And I really am looking to the next episode.

5/5

and now
abingdon boys school - JAP (opening for the anime series ;D)

Uhm, really awesome animation quality and nice special effects. OP was also very nice. Character design was ok.

BUT .... this is dropped or better: I won't watch another episode. I don't have the time to watch everything so I am of course focusing on the better stuff and this didn't really interest me.
It was really ridiculous in a lot of ways, like the things on the one guy's horse, the emberassing character outfits and stupid english for no reason. The jokes were lame and I kind of had the typical shounen action show with cooler guys and better action. I could overlook that all if the show could grab my attention on some parts or had an interesting story. But overall nothing new.

Maybe I am just too old for this. 6 years ago I might have loved it.

Well, this show is comical...

I'm quite a fan of Sengoku Basara but I must say... if I do take this show seriously (like I'm watching Monster), god it's crap.

Lively soundtrack as can be expected for shounen action series. At first, I find the some voices kinda weak and even thought that the start was stupidly comical until Yukimura and Masamune fought. In the end, it was enjoyable. LOL

so i'm guessing this would be historical action type anime. also it seems that the VA for Date is the same one for zoro from one piece, awesome! but this definitely looks like an amazing series
