Trust is a minor word.
War is just beginning.
Bonds are needed to be alive.
Courage to keep fighting.

I must write that I'm quite disappointed this time.When I was watching previous Sengoku Basara anime I just fell in love with that anime and made me to study more about Japanese history etc .I've also did a lot of web research finding everything related to Sengoku Basara and things that really happen in Japanese history.Back then I started to like and desire character in anime and person that was described in history : Date Masamune. As for this day I like to read and know more about him.In first read more

Let me just start off by saying that I am a HUGE Sengoku BASARA fan. Like, seriously big. I have all the video games including all the games that haven't been translated into English, I have several of the manga spin offs both in English and Japanese, I have the whole anime series AND I even have a freaking Date Masamune cell phone charm, So when I say I'm a mega-BASARA freak, I'm not kidding. Pretty much the only things I don't have are action figures (because they creep me out in general) and maybe a few miscellaneous items such as the alarm clock, stickers, read more

Sengoku Basara Judge End

This is an alternate setting of the 3rd Arc in the Sengoku Basara Video Series the Sekigahara hype train and an alternate setting of the The Last Party that Production I.G did a while back.

Story (7/10) Good

Now as an anime adaptation of the hack n slash video game Sengoku Basara 3, would personally say that this anime does a great job staying as accurate to the story source material as purpose in comparison to The Last Party. (Yes I will be comparing it to Last Party a lot in the review)

Characters (8/10) Very Good

Judge End definitely cares about the characters in this series more than The Last Party did. Obviously one could say well one is a movie and the next is a 12 episode series. True but the Last Party (just like Sengoku Basara Season 1 and 2) care mostly on Masamune Date. And although I enjoyed The Last Party more because I am a Masamune Date fan boy I do respect Judge End for nerfing Masamune quite a lot in the adaptation because according to the video game The Last Party asrays a shit ton from how things go.

Art (8/10) Very Good

The Art in this adaptation I would say is (at it's best it would be a 10) actually looks better than anything Production I.G has done in their versions BUT this version is definitely not consistent with it's art style one minute it'll look amazing and the next it'll look average or even worse than Production I.G's version (at it's worst I would say it's like a 4 or a 5). (Not saying Production I.G's version was bad I'm just saying this one was better but P.I.G was indeed more consistent)

Sound (10/10) Outstanding

There's nothing really wrong with the sound in anything Sengoku Basara related is outstanding so there's that. Especially the opening music to my ears

Enjoyment (6/10)

Everything up to episode 9 was average the enjoyment up to the point was obviously all setup for the Battle at Sekigahara the fact that they have a count down the the days until that battle happens is reason enough to believe anything up to episode 9 was just setup. And by the time we get to the battle I personally feel the hype wasn't really worth it. Yeah it stayed true to the video's story but I felt way more hype watching Production I.G's version than I was this one.

Overall (7/10) Good
More Specifically (7.8/10) Good+

Sengoku Basara Judge End I feel it better than Season 1 of Sengoku Basara by P.I.G but I don't think it's better than Season 2 or The Last Party (AS AN ANIME). As an adaptation I felt it was the best staying true but as an anime (especially for someone who doesn't really character or know the characters before watching Judge End) can feel lack luster. I know and care about these characters I'm a big fan of Sengoku Basara so I just wanted to watch it so the sake for saying I've seen it as a Sengoku Basara fan.

OH YEAH! JUDGE END! NO MAJOR SPOILER ATTACHED!

It certainly feels ages when I last saw the last release of Sengoku Basara. I've been a fan of this genre; historical figures, historical story and of course, the addition of shounen elements resulting into one blast-filled, blood-pumping sword-clashing title. Frankly in my opinion, this has got to be the best Sengoku Basara arc in which they focused on a single historic event. The fateful Sekigahara battle. However, a watcher ought to spit out the reality factor and focus on enjoying the fiction content, unless you want to waste your enthusiasm and will end up giving a premature judgment.

First is the story. To those who have seen, the Last Party version. Don't be too attached to negative perspective. While the 90 minute version failed to reach the "impressive" boundary, the alternate version offers more enjoyable watch with various additions of plot background, more vital characters, wise threading of events and more fluid writing. I'm obliged to give a passable 7 for I've been given a good run of watch-time.

The next was the art and sound. Like in any other Sengoku Basara titles, the animation content was always superb. Good character design upgrade, better animation effect, it's an undoubted high quality even for the 2014 standard. That goes the same for the soundtrack, the usual amount of quality was retained, letting me enjoy the bgms and the song themes as well. Art is 10 and the Sound goes 8.

Characters, oh! They're fabulous! Most especially, Ishida Mitsunari. From the get go to the final act, he's awesome. From my perspective, he implanted himself as the main character of the title. Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune served like chaperones as they played second fiddle the entire running time. On the other hand, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who will all know emerged victorious on the real event, played the sacrificial lamb to build a country with views to each other's need. He was the standard good guy who ends up being made the lousiest hence, in short, the most boring main character. The other characters fulfilled their roles in a satisfying fashion, nothing can be said like a minus except for Oda Nobunaga's early exit. Aside from the omission of a major bad-ass villain, the other character aspects were pretty much acceptable. The dirty politics is really something that moves a country onwards, hard fact proven. Clash of ideals resulting wars is a sacred thing way back in the past, however, at least they plunged themselves forward in believing what they are fighting was the right and just thing. Characters deserves a 9, for solid dialogues and wonderful voice acting of the seiyus.

Enjoyment? Heck, Judge End is one hell of a ride. I'd no other choice but to felt compelled to give an 8 for it. Aside from the re-used tactics, recycled revenge drama, reduced battle effects, I saw myself getting drawn every episodes meaning to say, it's a good show worth seeing.

But the most important point is still yet to be discussed...

Why the prejudice? It's painful to see a show getting undeserving scores from the watchers who did not bother appreciating what Jude End has to offer. I imagined that some of those mention had at least locked their eyes on a show which contained ecchi vitals and graded them higher because of the inclusion of stripe panties and bare stark naked melons. Good grief.

Concluding, Judge End has what it takes to stay worth the time every episode. I can genuinely recommend this to watchers who wants an interesting show. Give it a try, folks. You might find some good time watching the entire 12 episodes.
