Instead of just seeing a "slash, slash, dash, blow!" we'll see "draw six swords at once, super speed, slash of EXPLOSION!" For more information about people in the game type in "Sengoku Period/Sengoku Basara" in wiki for better understanding why "this" or "that" happened in the story.
Story: 7
Easy starting, we started in a battlefeild scence, then there comes the main character, then the fight, then the talk, then the fight. Think of it as "What do you think will happen when you're in war", the story just goes like that and I think (for people who played the game) the story won't change much from the game.
Art: 9
Art is Awesome! The fighting scene is really SUPER HUMAN, but it draws you to watch it until the end even though it seems so unrealistic. The backgrounds pictures (grass, building) was done very good and not complaints in that. One weak point is that sometimes the art goes into "I'm GONNA spin myself 180 degrees without moving" style, which makes the art look too much Inhuman.
Sound: 9
The OP "Jap" really does go with the anime and the ED is also the same. Since it's a action kind of anime you can expect good sounds from the fighting scene. Their sounds draw you to watch the scence more and more and their OST does go with "what is happening" in the story.
Character: 7
There is not much good point about their Character here. There's a BAD GUY, two almost good guys, Bad Guy armies, Good guy armies and they will fight each other...that's all. One good part about their character (which adapted from the game) was how usually the nickname of the generals sometimes go along with their looks and behavior (e.g. "The Tiger of Kai" of Shingen Takeda we'll see him wearing a tiger look-alike cloth with superb power and leadership")
Enjoyment: 9
For an action anime, this series does give a lot of enjoyment. Even though they're not much story to follow, but the "Maliness" and the Over Human fighting scene will kept you on your chair and made you watch it until it finished.
Overall: 8
Too bad that this series does not have any creativity at all. Since it was an adaptation from the game PLUS most of us will know the story already it will pull away our interest in watching Sengoku Basara a lot! However, it's still kinda interesting to see how will they adapt the game into an anime without ruining the story.
