Good god I didn't think I'd ever be wishing to wash Sengoku Basara instead. I encountered that game at a convention when the committee running one of the screening rooms had to fall back on their third or fourth option, and still have the memory of that Honda guy jetting around in his steam-powered armor; hysterical!

This movie, and the series that it sets up for, do not have any such moments.

Have you played Samurai Warriors by Koei? Have you ever walked into a store and saw something that you've seen every time you walked into the store and thought "Boy is that thing average, but I guess it's nice that it's always there? Wait why am I getting comfort from such an empty material thing?"
That could be any/all of the Warriors titles; mindless button-mashing that isn't bad so long as you don't expect anything from it but just that.
This movie and it's accompanying anime is like playing Samurai warriors, but only getting to watch the cut-scenes.
This boils the show (and game really) to overacting, silly representations of historical characters, and painfully paced and predictable plot points.
I was trying to hold out watching the anime to see if Yukimura's death would rival the end of Return of the King in terms of how drawn out it could be, but this movie and the first two episodes dissuaded me.
Yes I didn't watch all of the anime.
No, I couldn't be bothered to write a separate entry.
Go buy a used copy of Samurai Warriors and see everything in this movie and the anime, plus cathartic, mind-numbing destruction of pixels with Nobunaga's demon light-saber and other fantastic additions.
