This is fine anime at best. I was hoping for much more but you know it's what it is. The best part of the anime was the music 2nd place would be the art style. Everything else it's at best ok. Character development is not fun at all, don't get me started on Kiara's semi-main character, it's hard to like her even a bit, she is like a flag on the wind. We have two well-written characters, Kikuchiyo who is the brightest and most likable Samurai, and Komach sister of Kiara. She also is BFF with Kikuchiyo. The rest of the characters are just generic, plain. The story is well-written, and it holds up I enjoyed it - don't expect anything too deep about it. Overall it's a fine anime and I can easily recommend it as a guilty pleasure.
MAL doesn't allow me to give half of the points so I gave it 7 but a more suitable/proper score would be 6.5.
Art is solid 8, music solid 8, characters 5,
story 6.
Watch it if you want to watch "something" but don't have anything specific in mind yet.
