The First Season Success

The visuals in season 1 really amazed viewers, creating stunning animation! All thanks to CloverWorks. But this wasn't just stunning images. Yusei Matsui's imaginative vision in this shonen series brings lots of elements together, including zesty humor, magical realism and, what was especially surprising to some audiences? Intense, brutal violence.

The blend creates an interesting story for both history lovers who like stories that look into the past such as the era of the Kamakura Restoration, and also for those that like Action! If you haven't had a chance, this is really something worth experiencing!

Season 1 was a hit but not without some challenges! The use of 3D CGI wasn't perfectly received, in fact, episodes #4 and #5 were a little rough around the edges, and that generated some negative responses. Regardless, this was overshadowed with positive reactions, such as viewers being captivated with its epic action scenes that feature fast-paced animation, and this combination alone really created something great!
