wow, I really wasn't expecting much but it looks like they're really going all out with this one. Lots of recognizable seiyuu at every angle, over-the-top animation in crystal clarity, nice soundtrack... and this first episode was overflowing with gar badasses having fun...... I'd say I'm hooked.

I'll be amazed if P. IG can keep this up this quality for 12 episodes, but there's a lot of sengoku era fighting to cover. If they manage to keep it fresh, I may have to revise my favorites list.

I am a banana.

Are you ready guys?! Put the guns on!!

Oh Date, you're so funny. Man this was a great episode, everything I expected to happen came true with an extra side of "YUKIMURA!! OYAKATASAMAA!!!".

For people who haven't played the game or don't really understand the intentions, try not to look too deep. There is history involved in this but don't expect History Channel accuracy, obviously they're going for lighting a flame in your heart, burning soul badassery type of thing here(lots of strung together words lol).

Nope I definitely saw some handle bars on that horse. I think Date's new song should be "I can ride a horse with no handle bars". Best song ever.

hm... conflicting feeling about this

the good?
fighting isn't too bad, music and graphics are decent. Awesome voice acting.

the bad?
they jumped staright into it without much background info, which made episode 1 rather confusing.

I guess i'll try a few more episodes (and I'll try to remember the names)

Now that was some good old fashioned manly GAR action! I summarized it as exp ((Dragon Ball z + Casshern Sins)*historical japan + some heavy metal) all-star VA cast.

Who would have thought that this season has its jewels afterall..

GAR, that is all.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on. The story will probably make no sense for someone who doesn't know much about Japanese history, but I don't care.

Seiyuu are awesome, fights are awesome, characters are awesome, animation is awesome and I think that's all this anime is trying to do.

5/5 first episode.

Oh, Kazuya Nakai engrish is EPIC engrish

I watched this yesterday and found my only reason to continue this series is because a bunch of my favorite actors are in here... namely, Kazuya Nakai, Soichiro Hoshi and Takehito Koyasu. :D

Damn this was awesome, didnt get much of the so called story but hey, im not complaining, one of my fav VA's Nakai Kazuya has yet again found himself being one badass samurai :p probably felt he could do better than a triple wielding samurai, six frikkin swords hell yeah! also pimped horse with handlebars and exhaust pipes is teh shit

really couldnt see where the "historical" fits in though :p
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

I really love the historical Japan but all that fantasy stuff around the fights are a huge turn off to me, even if I still enjoy all those games around this theme. And the art and animation is so great it makes me wanna watch more.

I'm in love with the voice acting in this show, so many hot voices! <3
Not sure if I can finish it, but let's try~

My impression switched between "awesome!!" and "wtf?! That's sooo ridiculous!" every 12 seconds... XD

After understanding that this anime is not to be taken seriously, I think it can be a good comedy and I'll stick with it for now. ^^


EDIT: Damn, why did they make Mitsuhide that hot?! I used to hate him in history class, but his design in this anime temps me to like him now...
Btw, does talking about what happened in REAL history count as a spoiler for this anime? o_O

That deserves a hi5.

Canis.... I'm not sure. This show and the game were based on the Sengoku era after all.

Awesome seiyuu cast, and only 12 episodes in which there is no time for planet Namek(if you know what I mean).

Shonen battle anime as it should be.
That horse and the Engrish was a bit disturbing though...

That was fucking amazing. Animation was brilliant and probably the best voice cast I've seen in a long ass time. This had everything that I want in an anime.

Fuck yeah exhaust pipes on a horse! This was born of manliness.

You should check out Basquash as well, it's as exciting as Sengoku Basara and maybe even more ;)

In general, this episode was very good and at the same time so fast in a good sense -12 episodes wouldnt be enough otherwise-. Characters seem quite interesting, especially the interaction between Yukimura and Ouyakata made me laugh quite a bit. Definitely looking forward to more, this series is the series that i'm definitely not dropping in this season ^^

Man both this and Basquash! are probably going to be my favorite animes of the season. The op was pure win. Awesome characters and great animation. Haven't played the game but can tell I'm still going to love this.

I have no idea what's going but it's my fix of random action and manliness this season, the animation, seiyuus and music are pretty cool, definitely the strong points of the series.

the Oyakata sama - Yukimura dialogues are pretty funny.

Awesome voice actors. High production value.. Everything looked great.. Nice 'camera'-work .. pumping music.. but..

I almost died when watching this anime, becuz of the lame characters, lame dialogues, lame jokes (Rock Lee/Gai Sensei jokes?? ), shit story, supernatural shit in a historical setting (WTF!! ok.. ok game-adaptation), main-stream rock music (which I liked a bit.. damn..), no extreme violence, bleh.. (no(/hardly any) boobage :|)..

Conclusion: SHITE

Am I getting old you guys?? WTF...

To the guy above me, you went in wanting the show to be shit and in return, that is what you got.

I've never heard of the game series but I just simply related the characters, settings, and battles to what I learned from SAMURAI WARRIORS and my WIKIPEDIA BROWSING.

Didn't like the "over the top" superpower action in this anime.
As a huge SAMURAI WARRIORS fan, maybe I'm gonna keep watching this.

The story changed active characters so much that i never really felt attached to any single character. The characters also didn't seem to be anything to write home about but then we don't know much about them since they changed so much. I will say that dual wielding spears is a very cool looking fighting style, but his interactions with the head general just grew to be tiring after a VERY short while. I couldn't imagine watching 12 episodes full of him sucking up to his leader at every turn.

The fighting wasn't that interesting to me at least as often times it just turned in to crazy over the top energy balls instead of seeing two people actually fighting. Using powers above human level is fine, but when your fighting consists of two waves of bland energy crashing in to each other, you're doing it wrong. I'm just waiting for one of the guys to tell me that the enemy's power level is over 9,000 now...

I might watch another episode, but unless things improve a lot, there are a lot of better series out this season.

LMAO I don't even know what to think. On one hand it was ridiculously overpowered and full of absurd attacks. On the other hand, I had a lot of fun watching it. I think I'll end up following this to the end.

Im a little confuse by this anime... so I cant decide wether I like it or not.
Story happened so fast I felt I was thrown in the middle of something (fans of the game probably dont feel this way huh?)
Fights were good, the whole Yukimura-Takeda was hilarous and I love the seiyuu's so I'll watch a couple more episodes
