Ao no Miburo is an anime that wants to tell a historical drama about the creation of the Shinsengumi group showing the difficulties of the time in the government and the social that they had to endure
and you will wonder why it did not connect with the public well this can be seen that the plot was sold as an action plot making the public expect more action with the sword and a development of a large conspiracy but this is the least of its problems, another is that its monologues, which we agree a lot, are very friendly to the point of being cheesy, creating embarrassment and being out of place and the same as the comic moments and another negative aspect is that this plot claims to be a drama with a certain degree of realism but we see that some children can beat adults experienced with the sword even if they have some training it is very illogical since they do not have the adequate training or the necessary time to make the viewer believe that they can beat an adult breaking with that realistic environment that the plot wants to show
