I'm so glad that I stumbled over this show. It's definitely something that stands out in terms of atmosphere, really enjoyed the calm sensation it emitted and the goosebumps on top.

Even tho the story wasn't the factor which captivated me it was still good enough to keep me interested in the events.

8/10 from me

this show was quite mad and warped, still enjoyed it a lot - strong 8/10
it's true that I wanted to see continuation of the whole thing with the Lord and their fight that began the series, maybe they had second season planned but it never actually happened?
well too bad, wouldn't mind another rough ride

K A T - Legenda Zza Światów - wstęp:
W dawnych czasach, które już niemal całkowicie przeminęły, magia i posługujące się nią istoty,
a także zaklęte stwory i złowrogie, nieokiełznane bestie
zamieszkiwały Zza Światy, pomiędzy którymi można było odbywać podróże.
Wiedza na ten temat była jednak przekazywana wyłącznie nielicznym wybrańcom.
Wielcy bohaterzy musieli stawać do walki ze złem, w obronie dobra,
by przezwyciężyć zagrażające równowadze mroczne widmo ciemności i chaosu
i zaprowadzić niezbędny wszem wobec praworządny ład i porządek.
Oto legenda jednego z nich…

I didn´t like this at all, the art was great but everything else not so much, the pacing is way toooo slooow to the point i found very tedious to watch this anime, it would be better if this was a 90 minutes movie instead of a 12 episodes series but with faster pacing instead, the animation is good when there is some of it but most of the time it looks like a slideshow, i also think they overdid that grain filter and those cicadas sounds. There is almost no character development and i didn´t like any of the characters, no one was likeable and i found the story to be your standard revenge story presented in a needlessly confusing way with all those time skips, and the ending does not resolve the cliffhanger presented in the first episode

I know that the anime is like 1/3 of the manga and the unanswered questions are solved in the manga but they could have tried at least to wrap up the fight presented in the first episode and explain how Furiki lost his arm as well. I rate it 5/10, mostly because of how slow it was and the ending wich left a lot of things unresolved.

Loved the atmosphere and pace of the series (expect the part of it not being finished of course), it reminded me of some classic Samurai cinema.

The gore was abit too graphic for my taste and some actions by characters, specifically eating a womans nipple was just overly grotesque in my opinion and seemed over the top for that character to even do something like that.

It is a shame we never got more of this. If only because despite being a Japanese art form it is somewhat bizarre how Samurai focused Anime are such a rarity. Oh well.

While I would have liked to have seen this story completed I'm not overly upset about not having to stomach more of the gore this series would have presumably continued to 'offer'.

Still the series had great artstyle, brilliant ost and the story up to this point was gripping. 8/10

Shigurui anime and it's superior manga are highly underrated.

I finished the manga a couple of years ago and it's definitely worth reading, one of the best Samurai stories ever, the ending was shocking, underwhelming, tragic and the best possible conclusion.

AHH I really wanted to see a continuation of the first episode, Irako vs. Fujika. And to see how he lost his arm/got a limp. I didn't expect the season to end like this welp.

Anyway, 8/10 for me. The OST was excellent, so while maybe I'll read the manga one day, IDK if the manga can be as epic as a season 2.

pretty underwhelming ending...at least kogan got what he deserved

it's been implied since episode 1 that irako kills fujiki in their duel, but we at least deserve to know how fujiki lost his arm. apparently the anime ended before the manga did, which I assume is why it ended like this...guess I'll read it if I can find it online.

all in all, it felt very promising, but ultimately lackluster. I still feel like I know absolutely nothing about the guy who's supposed to be the main character. perhaps because of how it was adapted? phenomenal atmosphere but gonna have to go with 5/10

I just wonder why on Earth did Mie show up dressed in a wedding gown? What was she thinking? That her father was STILL going to wed her with Irako when he came back like that?

What the heck is this ending? Great, now I have to read the manga to find out more cause chances of a season 2 happening is nearly impossible.

There decision to show us the climax but not animated everything in between was horrendous. Also, in the novel the duel shown in the first episode Fujiki win's it but in the Anime we get a vision of Irako cutting him open. I don't get the decision made during production.

Anyway, it was a great final battle between Kogan and Irako.

the tension was insane, I would have liked a proper ending but I understand the manga was still ongoing, the music, directing, everything was on point, masterpiece 10/10
