The main problem at the moment is that the successful premise of Joran is swallowed up by the fantasy element. This is a sword anime where the characters are not black and white, and Sawa, the heroine, also does terrible things in the name of revenge. I enjoyed the character design, the beautifully detailed backgrounds, the action scenes, and the complex dynamics of both sides of the fence. Sawa, the protagonist of the series, was only a child when her entire family was murdered and now she is looking for revenge.īefore the plot, before the characters, and before everything – the most striking thing about Joran is the style because it looks really (but really) good when every frame of the big, dystopian city made me whistle in admiration. In the alternate year of 1931 in which the Tokugawa dynasty still exists, life in Japan has become terrifying because of mercenaries on behalf of the Shogun who executed opponents of the government. Khan has nothing personal against Jinzaburou, he doesn’t know him at all, but the Khan wants to add Japan to the collection of countries he conquered (he’s probably an otaku) and after the Japanese politely refused (twice) to accept a Mongolian identity card, he decided to do it Mongol-style Tens of thousands of Chinese and Korean soldiers (who were under the control of the empire), and of course the Mongols themselves, are now making their way to Japan. Instead of living the rest of his life peacefully behind bars, he comes to know that someone wants him dead, and that someone is Kublai Khan – the ruler of the Mongol Empire. Jinzaburou is a skilled swordsman and of high status, or at least he was because now he is a prisoner, and together with other prisoners Jinzaburou is exiled to the remote island of Tsushima. Still, if you are hungry for action, Sengoku should be on your menu. They don’t progress or go anywhere interesting. They tried to give a deep character development, but they got lost in all the battle scenes. That is my biggest problem with Sengoku, it’s too simple. You don’t have to get the full story to understand what it is all about. ![]() It is about characters and somewhat history. The plot deals with the Sakigahara War at the end of which the next shogun of Japan will rule. The anime takes place during the Sengoku period (in which many other series on this list take place) Its heroes are warriors from different dynasties and bitter rivals, who form a surprising alliance with other generals to overthrow the ruler Oda Nobunaga. It has a truly great soundtrack, and the sword and other weapon sound effects are suitably over the top. I’ve seen a lot of cool fights, with lots of grinning and awesome action scenes. However, this is also a relatively entertaining series, it doesn’t take itself overly seriously. My main issue with the anime is that the whole thing is based on assembling ten warriors, while a lot of the side characters get almost no development. Yukimura would take Isanami in after discovering her mysterious power so they could avenge Isanami’s temple and win the feudal war of Japan.īrave 10 is a historical fantasy series, it takes place in the aftermath of the end of the Sengoku period when Japan was separated into territories that warred against each other in order to gain as much land and power as possible. The Braves 10’s mission is to fend off attempts by rival warlords to capture Isanami and the mysterious power of the Kushitama. Sanada Yukimura is the warlord who co-founded the Sanada Ten Braves, a sword startup that will truly “change the world”. By pure chance, what do you know? Saizo is Yukimura’s guy, and he makes it his mission to bring her to Yukimura, the only man who can keep her from danger. ![]() She wishes to go medieval on the ninjas and asks Sazio to see Yukimura Sanada to avenge her fallen temple. Isanami seeks help from Saizo as she is being hunted down by Tokugawa Ieyasu’s ninjas. The priestess named Isanami escaped a bloodbath in her shrine, and her fellow priests were slaughtered left and right. Saizo Kirigakure is an assassin ninja, he does his routine forest jog when suddenly he sees a bloody young woman who looks like a priestess running and literally falls into his arm.
