Anime: Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki

As long as we're alive, we win!

Based of historical records and an overwhelming one-sided feudal war. So expect lots of slaughters & deaths. But it maintains a nice balance btw hope, the struggle for surviving vs the overwhelming reality. I was woo'ed by the battle tactics and charismatic ML intially, but could really hope for more tactis where some scenes felt like battle fillers and won with sheer determination.

Artwork require getting used, with a weird papery filter to make it look old. Animation of fights pretty decent and some fluctuation. Large cast of char with interesting background but most of it were never really developed.

In all honestly, what I enjoyed was the historical events & following the group with their fight for survivor. The ending might not be bed of roses, but that tint of hope really seals it.

Rec for history & war junkies, & able to stomach grim truth. 7/10 for me.

The underlying theme of character growth is really weak through this series, it's not very well portrayed. The series is basically a series of battles, heads getting cut off, people getting murdered, and anything else you could think of in feudal Japan. I feel like there was two opposing ideas that both were trying to be implemented in this series One trying to make this a more story rich series and another trying to make this a series of gore and death.

This is very much a "you get what you see" series. I think my expectations were pretty well set up for this one.

Not great, not terrible. It's good to fill in if you're waiting on another series.
