Art(7) - One can say the eyes and mouth were drawn weird, and it failed to give the required characters the "look" It has that style where it's very difficult to recognize characters unless you observe carefully.
Sound(7) - Traditional Japanese melodies with flutes and such, it gave the subtle and the calm atmosphere. Also i love the way where the musician was able to manipulate the traditional music to suit particular moods such as "humor" and "nostalgia" The voicing was good, especially Yaichi's.
Character(8) - The characters were interesting, especially the main protagonist and some members he associates, the situation where all the characters merge together is impressive. You can pry into different personalities and learn something.
Enjoyment(7) - I enjoyed it in a calm fashion, everything is calm in that anime, there are no unnecessary fights, no commotions, it fairly gets to the point. There are some surprises here and there which captivates the audience. Humor-wise it's actually lacking, but there were some moments.
Overall(7) - I wouldn't really recommend to anyone who needs a Samurai-like atmosphere as there is no excitement of combats, but it truly gives you a medieval atmosphere merged with elements of sadness,philosophy and calmness.
