enjoyed the first episode...def. picking this one up :)

ill keep watching this one, i enjoy feudal era japan themed things

also isanami reminds me of tessa from Full Metal Panic

A legend says that Yukimura had ten heroes who took an active role at the battles of Osaka Castle. They were called the Sanada Ten Braves, a group of ninja, and consisted of the following members:

Sarutobi Sasuke
Kirigakure Saizo
Miyoshi Seikai
Miyoshi Isa
Anayama Kosuke
Unno Rokuro
Kakei Juzo
Nezu Jinpachi
Mochizuki Rokuro
Yuri Kamanosuke

:0 totally makes sense now

they say they were all male, but other works suggest 2 are actually female Anayama Kosuke is probably anastasia

So much action packed ecchi this season. I hope the fights are good.

hmmm minimal ecchi on the first episode, fights are ok at the moment nothing too big

I had a lot of fun watching the first episode. Way too soon to pick a favorite character but I'm already hooked. Had a Ninja Scroll / Samurai Deeper Kyo feel to it. Loved it.

Definitely keeping an eye on this one. Its great so far. The animation looked really nice. character design is good so far too. Really looking forward to episode 2.

the fights are to fast...i kind of wish they would draw them out to make them seem more important. i feel like fighting is rushed, and when i watch a fighting anime, i don't mind them drawing it out 2 or 3 episodes...

still, im not about to stop watching

totally not picking up any gay vibes from this show at all

Really dig this show. Has a few little things that bother me though... What was up with isanami being so easily rescued from a guy thats supposedly really strong? Where was Date when they rescued her? Or is he just another lord that only fights with his fighters? it doesnt really make sense since Date masamune in japanese history is a fearsome warrior... Seemed kinda like a cakewalk getting her out of there which was kind of weird seeing how dramaticly she got captured in the last episode

my guess is it that he let her get away to justify attacking sanada

this is beginning to feel pretty meh

this is beginning to feel homosexual...... i mean if kamonsuke was a girl it would be totally fine, BUT ITS SOOOOO GAAAAY lol


yeaaah.....my statement still stands
