Amazing animation on the fight scenes.
Tastefully bloody - as in, it was bloody during fights with the various maiming scenes and blood splatters, but it wasn't gory for the sake of gore. I'm actually really impressed with how they handled the gore element of war. Rather than censoring, the camera would pan around the scene to capture the slice or show the flying body part without dragging out the violence. It felt practical. Where the studio paid special attention to moments such as daily life or running through forests, and realistically portraying details like snow fall and tying a knot, they didn't try to realistically depict blood or falling organs. I think this was a smart move on their part. Their decision to not detail the blood color or viscosity makes the violence less gruesome despite its prevalence throughout the film. That's not to say they didn't realistically capture the way blood soaks fabric, or bowel movements of the dead. The portrayal was accurate without being photo-realistic.
But really, the fight scenes were amazing with fight choreography taking advantage of the use of terrain, the camera panning, different camera angles, and attention to detail (focusing on feet, then hand grip, then sword edge...) instead of a simple middle ground view. I'll be watching this over and over to take in all of those moments again.
