A very symbolic show.
This show really displayed the true reality of what is was like to live in this era. In most animes, we often only see the good sides or see the rough side of things for a little while, but this anime does not hold back.
Quite a realistic telling of how Hyakkimaru got back what was stolen from him.
Tackled gender identity quite well in the show, especially not trying to fetishize it (anime shows typically do this unfortunately).
Overall a great show. If you're looking for a good story, growing characters, and great development, would recommend this show.
