Maybe get some better naming sense. Impressions: On the sliding scale of fantasy action/adventure shows between something like Inuyasha/Thundercats and Garo/Dorororo, this is very, very firmly unfortunately on the childish side. Hell, the first dude they encounter yells out that his special attack is splitting helmets, and they're up against a group of bandits […]

Sengoku Youko – 07
「火岩と芍薬」 (Kagan to Shakuyaku) "Kagan & Shakuyaku" Life and death is very much the theme of this episode, and Mizukami explores it in many and myriad ways.
Sengoku Youko – 06
「 ふこう」 (Fukou) Hiding is not the answer, because your burdens always find you.
Sengoku Youko – 11
Where Mizukami is concerned I always fear the worst with anime, as if a curse hangs over his work.
Sengoku Youko – 02
It's more than a little surreal, seeing a Mizukami Satoshi series being competently adapted by capable adults.
Sengoku Youko – 13
Never would the phrase "just when it's getting good" be more apt than if Sengoku Youko were ending after the prologue.
Sengoku Youko – 11
「断怪衆最強の男」 (Dankaishū Saikyou no Otoko") "The Strongest of the Dangaisyuu" Douren really is quite the admirable fellow in so many ways.
Sengoku Youko – 10
「 山の神 (後)」 (Yama no Kami (Go)) "The Mountain Goddess (Part 2)" I have to stop and remind myself sometimes just what a historic occasion this adaptation is.
Sengoku Youko – 09
Sengoku, for me, has an air of grandness and sweep with no wasted space that elevates it about its predecessor, great as that is.
Sengoku Youko – 12
「迅火と道錬と竹吉とバリー」 (Jinka to Dōren to Takekichi to Barī) "Jinka & Douren, Takekichi & Barry" Seriously, this guy has more tails than the U.S. Mint.
Sengoku Youko – 03
For those who have the patience to follow Mizukami Satoshi at his own pace the rewards will be ample indeed.
Sengoku Youko – 02
「灼岩」 (Shakugan) "Shakugan" This is all going somewhere, everything that happens matters, and the journey cannot be separated from the destination.
Sengoku Youko – 07
Life and death is very much the theme of this episode, and Mizukami explores it in many and myriad ways.
Sengoku Youko – 08
「魔剣士」 (Mahou Kenshi) "Mystic Swordsman" One thing is clear from Shinsuke’s reaction to all this – for him “strong” and “free” are interchangeable concepts.
Sengoku Youko – 05
「氷岩)」 (Higan) "Higan" Best character has entered the chat.
Sengoku Youko – 09
「山の神 (前」 (Yama no Kami (Zen)) "The Mountain Goddess" This story is full of people wanting to be something they’re not, each for their own reasons.
Sengoku Youko – 10
I have to stop and remind myself sometimes just what a historic occasion this adaptation is.
Sengoku Youko – 08
Mizukami gets a tremendous amount of content into a series - plot, philosophical debate, character arcs - without seeming rushed or too busy.
Sengoku Youko – 04
「迅火と人間」 (Jinka to Ningen) "Jinka and Humans" I’m not immune to the zeitgeist of a series, as much as I try to be.
Sengoku Youko – 06
We're so very much at the early stages of Sengoku Youko that it's hard to believe how much has already happened.
Sengoku Youko – 12
Never would the phrase "just when it's getting good" be more apt than if Sengoku Youko were ending after the prologue.
Sengoku Youko – 03
「永禄七年」 (Eiroku Nana-nen) "Year Seven of the Eiroku Period"" Anime is stupid.
Sengoku Youko – 04
There's no copyright on bad taste - other people's about a series I like, or mine as perceived by those who disagree with it.
Sengoku Youko – 05
This was a monumentally important episode of Sengoku Youko, for reasons that are obvious and others that are not.
