The first episode went hard. Could be a classic in the making.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

Look...this is definitely not deserving the below 7 treatment, it was way too competent of a presentation for that.

Did people's taste change so much nowadays that straightforward samurai stories are a no-go?

I'm still kind of confused about who this group of merchants (?) are, but I enjoyed the episode. Kite girl is cute, she looked a bit too happy killing that guy, but I love insane female characters like that.

Wasn't expecting that seppuku at the end. The ED song is very beautiful.

Lmao that was a modern Chicano tattoo, felt really out of place along with the guns

The modern Santa Maria of Guadalupe tattoo takes its influence from an actual cloth made up of her resemblance which is as old as 400-500 years,so it won't be wierd for him to have that tattoo

In Edo period Japan though? Yes it is pretty weird

i don't think you know the fact that Catholicism had already made its mark in Japan since the 1500s,Lol
So being historically accurate isn't wierd,it's being right on point

But the design itself looks like something a modern tattoo artist would do so that's what's really throwing me off

I don't know what throws you off from that,but I'd say it's depends on the person who got it, although the tattoo might be a bit different from the actual one,it still has it's close resemblance

The main cast seems lifted from Saiyuki, they clash so much with everything else. Decent pilot, only interested to see if urobuchi's script will be good or not

decent fight animation, and 2d horses for once.
That's some creative tho brutal weapons. Gold leaf such a classy one & such a waste tho.
Souji basically shuriken but with karuta cards.
Kid looks zombish like Rita, rare fishing line & kite weapon. Think last time we had fishing hero in Shieldbro.
oof Raizou is suffering, rather fast paced already finished with his revenge.

Some of the deaths were pretty brutal.

Yui stabbing herself in the throat...jfc.

Seems like this anime is going to be a bloodbath and I am in for it.

Firearms did exist in Japan's history and judging by how Revenger takes place in the Edo period (mid or late IDK), it wasn't uncommon to see guns though I'm not sure which people got them or how regulated they were at the time.

Bet the short girl with the kite will be the most favorite char
Why? Because she is maybe the only main girl in the cast of males. Just sayin'
I don't really like the white-haired one, but the rest are acceptable
Great first ep, just not as flashy or impactful as Urobuchi's previous works
Maybe it follows the 3 episode rule?

You’re assuming it’s not a trap. Nio definitely gave be crossdresser vibes. I hope I’m wrong, but that’s the impression I got.
Well, official site says androgynous boy. Though I don't feel like Nio is a trap, since he gives off a more boyish impression than a girl.

my thoughts exactly. The characters were well written for a pilot, the pacing was mostly smooth and the plot was intriguing despite being predictable. Considering the average isekai recycle show gets 6.5-6.8 a season, Revenger deserves a LOT more respect.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

That ended up being better than expected. With each season increasingly getting filled with copy-paste isekai, this really did scratch a specific itch for more old timey stuff, at least plot wise (still not a fan of the art style but can work through it). Just hope it'll go a bit darker further down the line, though sceptical...
The kite death scene was pretty nice ~

Whoa... what an episode. It was like a film of itself. That twist in the end, where the fiance killed herself, man... what a tragedy.

I am hoping the MC would keep going, living in atonement, and that he will be recruited with that group doing some odd jobs or something. I hope he will find a new reason to live.

A fine first episode, it was better than some of "hyped" series, cause it shows within the first episode some decent animation, the fundamentals of story, the fact of using some sort of history which is a rarity in nowadays anime, good music score, surely will be enjoying that title.

Who told you that Fireguns and Guns such as Matchlocks are the modern era stuff? They were used in times of "Samurai", next time read some wikipedia at least, it will be helpfull.

A very good first episode. It is a historical anime with a very good setting, with samurai, mystery, bloody scenes and good character design.

I loved it, I hope it continues at this level until the last episode. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Excellent starting episode for the anime. The music was fire, the characters look interesting especially Usui and Nio and the dark violence definitely feels like a Nitroplus title lmao. Had a feeling his fiancee was gonna neck herself ggs Urobutcher

So many things wrong with this anime I do not know where to start. Sso I will start with what is good. Amazing drawing, very good animation and good music. And now let's get to the bad:
1. samurai were not so honorable (they were actually mostly scum) and the hara kiri was forced. They will not willigly do it. They chose to do it so that their famillies will not be executed with them
2. fire arms were not so common especially pistols. The army barely had shotguns and it was considered treason to have those as a daimyo
3. a girl lifting 3-4 times her own weight... mmm no...
4. christians just as jews are against tattoes so having a tattoo especially with an icon with be extremely sacrilegious
5. the opium business was more complex and if I remember correctly the asians produced selled and had opium parlors
6. while strangling someone with a string is feasible unless she used a puley system she could not have lifted him above ground and even with a puley is pretty hard
7. magic cloth suffocates man? how?
8. man with cloth is way too fast
9. for a daimyo there are virtually no guards around

I will give it one or two more episodes but is probably a drop

Pretty solid Tenchu/Samurai X knock-off. Gratuitous ninja execution scenes and late Edo era atmosphere. Everything happens a bit too fast as if it's a parody of Samurai X though. Hope the story turns out better in the following episodes.

That was... boring? Like something already seen before and not really special. They try with some out of ordinary visuals, music is nice I guess, but it still falls bland overall. Character designs are too bright for me to take this type of story seriously, that's probably the most jarring thing in this anime and why I won't be watching it anymore.

It's anime...not a historical documentary. And it's made by Japanese people who know their history better than you do anyway, so sit down. If I wanted to, I would also write what's wrong with your claims but I am not that free.

Just because they are japanesse does not mean they know their history better. Also in any conflict there are two versions of the story and the truth is somewhere in the middle usually. Not sure how you can rebuke that women are way weaker physically than men though . Strongest woman has about 60-70% of an average healthy man strength and most women are 3-4 times weaker than men. Is about testosterone.
