I agree completely. Many people probably give up on this show after just a couple of episodes.

However, this is one of the only anime I have ever watched where I am pumped up just to hear what the main character has to say. Doesn't even need action, his words are action-packed enough.

I too am glad the translators are using the Chinese names. It must have taken a bit of research, but I appreciate the extra effort. The Japanese names would confuse the heck out of me.

I think this show is underrated. For me it's a good surprise and definitely one of my favorite shows this season. Fortunately a good group like Lunar is subbing this. :)

Underrated as hell - this show is a grower.

OP and EP are brilliant as well.

And yes, I took up this show because Lunar was subbing it..

Same here.
I don't think I will ever understand why this show had a score under 7.00 when I was picking it up.
But I'm glad that I look up most of the shows every season, not only best scored ones, so I can find such hidden gems.

I wouldn't say the best (Basara is the best out of this season, imo) but definitely underrated for such awesomeness.

I just hope to god Lunar doesn't drop it and that they start subbing it faster. :P

This show is what Sengoku BASARA would have been if it had a plot and was slightly more interesting than having a professional sumo wrestler jump on your spine.

I personally love this series. My only complaint is that Lunar is a bit slow in the translation, but as long as they keep putting it out I'll be happy!

Only reason because this show has 7 rating is because it is watched by people who rate fairly, not like some that give all their favorite 10 and what they dont like 1

It makes me sad how underrated this show is. Far better than any other anime that's come out this year, IMO.

To be honest, I gave this an 8 just to rise its average score so people would at least give this underrated show a try, I rarely rate shows before mid-season anyway. But they keep this up, I don't think I'll change my score, might even rise it to 9. :) (Probably not ^^)

I think this is a great show. Too bad it was picked up by 3 of the worst groups in the history.

Truly excellent,too bad many groups find the dialogue too challenging...

Hope someone (Animanda?) decides to finish subbing it.

This Anime Is BADASS
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?

36 volumes 409 chapters, 26 episodes.

To everyone who finished this, what was it like?
To everyone who finished this AND the manga, what would you say?

Overall it was great,but as you would expect from a adaptation of a very long manga the pacing was just absurdly fast .They omitted a lot of clearly important plot points and quickly brushed up things.

Also don't expect a completely historically accurate and realistic portrayal of the famous story,later on in the series it just jumps right into battle shonen territory.
