Best anime I've seen this year 2023
5 November 2023
I have to write a review, because this show is so masterful in all aspects, it completely exceeded my partner and I's expectations. We were glued to the screen. My partner who has done marital arts throughout his whole life was fascinated and fully captivated by the marital arts, choreography, training, and craftsmanship of sword making in this series. I not having any background of these areas, was really just in awe and so intrigued by the artful, careful protrayal of all of this, and so much more in this series. For the characters, their development, the voice acting - is all excellent. The artwork is beautiful and different. The pacing is perfect - building at all the right moments, and breaking out precisely when it is meant to! I highly recommend this series, not only to people who like animation and anime, but genuinely to anyone who would appreciate art; masterful story telling and pacing, well thought out action scenes, and meaningful characters. Some other reveiwers have made comments that this show reminds them of Kill Bill, John Wick and Mulan. I would agree with this. So, if you like any of those films, then this series is definitely for you. A warning though, this is not a show for children. If you have any, wait till they are much older before seeing this. Other than that last bit, seriously watch this underrated and brilliant series!
