    Wtf

    There's a lot of weirdness in the anime world, and this is one of them. It's a samurai anime, but there's a bunch of muscle flexing like Baki. However, what made the anime so disturbing was the animation and the story.

    The anime looked entirely surreal. During the day, everything is dreamy and bright, while at night it was ominous. All of the samurai' faces, except for Fujiki, creeped me out in different ways. One has ginormous eyeballs, one has a wide mouth, one has feminine lips, etc. Then, the slow music added more creepiness to the show.

    The main story wasn't that hard to follow, even though some transitions were too abrupt. However, the characters' actions were what greatly disturbed me. Some scenes had me internally screaming and cringing. If you think samurai are cool, then this anime begged to differ.

    The biggest bummer about the anime was that it has been 14 years since season 1 ended, so the anime ended on an unfinished cliffhanger.

    Overall, a bizarre, gory, violent, yet somehow very good anime. 8/10.
