Story: 10
Basically a young girl named Chizuru has dressed herself as a boy and is on a journey to find her father. She is then taken into custody by the Shinsengumi, with their leader Hijikata left responsible for her. She has to continue dressing like a boy, but she accompanies them with their many ventures.
~Ok so most otome game animes in my opinion do not do that well, but this one is exceptional. Since I'm a sucker for reverse harems, I gave this a try. The plot and story has real depth and shows the characters struggles. But what I like most about this anime is the fact that it really has it all. Though not very light-hearted, it has tons of action, fantasy and of course, some shoujo romance.

Ok so the art is exceptional. By far, one of the best.
Sound:10
I personally loved the opening and ending song. The voices of the characters were right on as well.
Character: 9
Chizuru: So a lot of people bash the female protagonist Chizuru, for her helplessness and the fact that she doesn't do anything. But she was not meant to help fight or anything. She was just looking for her dad and ran into the Shinsengumi..and she did the best she could to contribute in some way. I enjoyed her throughout the show but I feel like they could have given her a more interesting personality. At times, she seemed very cliche to me. And though she is the only female and the main character, the show is really about the guys. The guys were great. Each one had their own personal battle and it was interesting to watch because everyone had their own personality.
Enjoyment: 10
If you like tons of action you will enjoy this. But if you like shoujo romances, I feel you will really enjoy it as well but don't expect the series to be completely focused on the romance and relationships.
Overall: 10 ^^
