Firstly, lots of people(not everybody) would pass by without giving much attention to the anime while classifying it 'Old'. I know 2004 isn't really new, at all. But there's something I shall ask you before moving on, Do you all like Death Note; One Piece; Naruto? ..Yes? But aren't they old?
Firstly, Let's go for the story which has imbued countless, countless aspects(starting from Romance,Comedy, Drama and much more)that definitely makes this really enjoyable for everyone, no matter what age you have.
I wouldn't go any further into detail, I'd like you discover this masterpiece by yourselves, and please..do not judge everything after the first episode.
The art, despite being an rather old anime I'd personally say the art is outstanding. I mean, I personally like the art from that point more than the actual one. (My oppinion)
Im pretty sure you're going to love the characters, the theme songs, the amazing swordplays - Yes, I humble admit that I've never seen more organized swordplays than this anime anywhere - The sad moments, the fun moments, the romantic moments, the tensioned ones! You can never find anything like this, imbued into such small number of episodes, the unique story plot makes them fit perfectly in the end making you that satisfy sigh.
In the end, I cannot say anything more, It's up to you whether watch it or not. But trust me, its not a wise decision not watching it. I think this, truly represents the milestone of samurai anime. There's never been something similar to this and nor will, I think its in a league of its own.
I'd like to apologize for grammar/ spelling errors hence english isn't my first language.
