Story(9/10)
Interesting idea of a plot,telling history from the point of view of the main character that actually took part to the events.Pretty much everything except the furies and demon thing is related to the real events.I loved the sword fighting and the way Shinsengumi was so dedicated to being warriors fighting with their swords warmed up my heart.I will not understand ever male pride though,haha.I should have expected this but when some of my favourite characters(Yamazaki and Inoue) really brought me to tears.
Art(9/10)
This one I really loved!Eyecandy is the best candy!Who doesn't want to see hot boys as historical characters fighting?Me neither!Lol,joking aside I like the art in this anime,it's pretty.The details and scenes are done well,didn't see anything weird or wrong.They could have made Chizuru look a little different,it kind of bothered me how different her eyes and face looked from the others,even if she was a female.
Sound(9/10)
I love the opening and ending,they suit the overall atmosphere of the anime.The voice acting is good too,the characters personality can be felt from the way they talk.
Character(8/10)
The male ''love interests'' have all unique personalities,they don't ''overlap'' too much.Personally,I loved Okita and Harada the most.You can not love Harada,he is simply such a gentleman.Okita is quite the opposite and always teases and threatens the heroine but he has something that attracted me nonetheless.The main characters bother me a little.I have played the game too and I have to say that I am disappointed with how ''weak and damsel in distress'' Chizuru is.God damn it,she is a demon!Give her some powers!Also.why is Hijikata the main?C'mon,I know they make a good pair but I am kind of tired of the cold tsundere boys always being the main.
Enjoyment(8/10)
Despite some of its flaws,it a pretty good anime.I like to see comedy and silly animes but serious ones are nice from time to time.I enjoyed it.Those ninja though,they were cutting a lot of onions towards the end.
Overall(9/10)
This score might be a biased because I played the game and saw the whole series and that made me attached to it.This first season has a pretty stable conclusion,it didn't look that unfinished even if it has a second season.*Sigh* I will do a review for that one soon too even if it sadens me.History can be harsh.
