Sengoku Youko – Episode 13 Review (End)
「神獣」 (Kamijū) "Godbeast" The lessons of this denouement are pretty clear. The pursuit of power for its own sake doesn't lead to anything remotely good.
Sengoku Youko – Episode 1
It's somewhat hard to judge the show right now, the author's previous works suggest that the binary morality of this premiere is likely a facade.
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 – 03
For those who have the patience to follow Mizukami Satoshi at his own pace the rewards will be ample indeed.
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
「灼岩」 (Shakugan) "Shakugan" This is all going somewhere, everything that happens matters, and the journey cannot be separated from the destination.
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 – 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 – 08
Mizukami gets a tremendous amount of content into a series - plot, philosophical debate, character arcs - without seeming rushed or too busy.
Sengoku Youko – 02
It's more than a little surreal, seeing a Mizukami Satoshi series being competently adapted by capable adults.
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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – 22
「千夜と神雲」 (Sen'ya to Jinun) "Senya and Jinun" Stop crying and fight your father!
