Sengoku Youko: Senma Konton-hen – 16
To detour such as this in the middle of the climactic battle, to deal with the personal side of all this for two secondary characters, is classic Mizukami.

And now the Character PV for Sengoku Youko has dropped. Reminds me of the early days of the manga before it really took off. I won’t say more…
Sengoku Youko
Sengoku Youko is currently streaming on Crunchyroll....
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
I have to stop and remind myself sometimes just what a historic occasion this adaptation is.
Sengoku Youko – 02
It's more than a little surreal, seeing a Mizukami Satoshi series being competently adapted by capable adults.
Sengoku Youko – 03
「永禄七年」 (Eiroku Nana-nen) "Year Seven of the Eiroku Period"" Anime is stupid.
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 – 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 – 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 – 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 – 01
「我ら乱世を憂う者」 (Warera ranse o ureu mono) "Those Who Worry For This Troubled Time" What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been

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 – 08
Mizukami gets a tremendous amount of content into a series - plot, philosophical debate, character arcs - without seeming rushed or too busy.
Sengoku Youko – 11
Where Mizukami is concerned I always fear the worst with anime, as if a curse hangs over his work.
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 – 06
「 ふこう」 (Fukou) Hiding is not the answer, because your burdens always find you.
Sengoku Youko – 05
「氷岩)」 (Higan) "Higan" Best character has entered the chat.
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 – 13
Never would the phrase "just when it's getting good" be more apt than if Sengoku Youko were ending after the prologue.
