Sengoku Night Blood

After a blinding light emanates from her phone, soft-spoken Yuzuki is suddenly transported to an alternate world known as Shinga. The strange place resembles the Sengoku period—a turbulent time in Japanese history known for long civil wars that ravaged the country.

Here, the Gekkazoku, tribes of non-human creatures like vampires and werewolves, live in harmony with humans. This harmony was maintained under the governance of Himemiko, a woman with the power to protect Shinga. However, due to her mysterious disappearance, the world has fallen into disarray. Now, Yuzuki must find Himemiko in order to go back home; but, the ongoing feud between the warlords only impedes her progress.

Preliminary (6/12 eps)

This is based off of a otome mobage game, that only came out in the spring of 2017, so you can tell they had it set up for the anime. I can not express how much I hate the art style, beyond Sanada team which it might be an improvement there but that is also my own tastes. I just feel like compared to the actual game the art doesn't do it any justice what so ever. In the game each army is done by a different artist, and they're the top in the industry at that! So that is my MAIN big problem with ... the show is the art doesn't do it justice. Otome/ Reverse harem shows, hell harem shows in general, don't usually have a strong story. You watch them for the individual character, which I do feel the anime is rushing a bit compared to the game. Those are standard things that happen though when doing an anime for this type of game.

This one is no different, in fact its almost laughable, but its not bad enough to make me not enjoy it. Basically Himemiko ( The Mom ) decides to peace out, and supposedly sends Yuzuki from the real world into here to possibly replace her? Yuzuki might be inside a cellphone, the anxiety riddle tanuki adorable companion minion Imari probably the only one that knows. its not clarified in the game either. To make everyone get along she created the Moon fang tribe, consisting of two vampire armies, and 4 werewolf ones. They rule over the normies and fight these monster things called Yakuma ( WHICH DONT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE ONES IN THE GAMES FYI ). Since Mom disappeared without a trace everyone freaks out and starts fighting over unifying Shinga, kinda like how they fought over unifying japan in sengoku period.Like a bunch of kids wanting to acomplish something big to show off for when they find Mom ( Himemiko ) again. Rather than just get along and keep the peace like they're suppose to...Yuzuki's blood awakens them to a new color scheme and power level, which could give each army one hell of an advantage. So everyone is going to fight over yuzuki, while she helps each army in their own little way and probably in the end makes everyone get along.

Its a general, overplayed, theme and type. Yuzuki is your typical bland sweet MC.... annoyingly so. However the voice acting, is pretty top notch, and I really hope the show continues to show more character development though it will probably only focus on one or two relationships at most. The game is amazing for mobage, and so far the anime doesn't disappoint to badly. Getting music for it has been fun, I'm loving the sound track! 7/10.

Mixed Feelings

Keep in mind, this is based on an otome game. The story and characters are pulled from that. In the game, each army is designed by a different illustrator and you can sort of see that in the character design but the images in the game are BEAUTIFUL. The images in the anime...well, the animation really failed this one, even if I was entertained by the show.

The first few episodes have horrible lighting issues but seem to even out a bit after about episode three. Sadly, overall the animation is poor. Characters are often distorted and what could have been ... epic fight scenes were mostly stills with shakey camera tricks or 80's style lasers for sword cuts. It was.....beyond bad. Also very disappointing. While I was watching I couldn't help but think about how better the animation could have been.

Script wise I'm not sure this one knew what it wanted to be. Reverse harem or full on Sengoku story. It seemed to only have small moments of a reverse harem but the story of the fighting warlords was never fleshed out very well. I wish they would have decided what they wanted this anime to be because it could have been a fun time as a reverse harem or it could have been an excellent Sengoku piece with amazing fight scenes but it chose to do neither well at all.

Again, I did enjoy watching it, but it had so much wasted potential.

I already have a bias because I despise passive, weak main characters. But, Yuzuki goes far beyond passive and weak. She's utterly useless. Honestly she's like a little toddler wondering around, although toddler's probably remember that you shouldn't just willingly follow any and everyone that tells you to so basically she's below that. He lines are a drag and her personality is as flat as there comes. What a boring show and complete and utter waste of my time.

Honestly even if you're bored out of your mind there's a million other things I'd recommend doing rather than watching this ... disgrace of a show.
