I'm not surprised about the content one bit. Looking forward to it, though. I'd like if they took on more wth...? ventures that are uncharacteristic of them. Those are always a pleasure to watch. But Edo era action? Not surprised.

Well, the art and soundtrack should be good anyway, even if the rest of the anime leaves a bit to be desired.

^that.

but it's too short IMO, I would've loved this if it were a series, but only 20 minutes? ugh

plus the guy doing the background is the same one who did Noein's, awesomeness ..
