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 – 02
It's more than a little surreal, seeing a Mizukami Satoshi series being competently adapted by capable adults.
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 – 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 – 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 – 13
Never would the phrase "just when it's getting good" be more apt than if Sengoku Youko were ending after the prologue.
