Sengoku BASARA - Let's Party!




Sengoku BASARA is adapted from a game and its characters are based on famous Japanese historical personalities. It's a short series with only 12 episodes + 1 OVA. Given its short length, there's nothing really great about its plot. To be frank, the only reason why I watched Sengoku BASARA is Date Masamune! ♥ Sengoku BASARA has many cool characters and has quite a big fan base (mainly girls... I guess ^^). Given the success of the first season, a second season had been announced and will start in July 2010 .

"Are you ready guys? Put your guns on!! Yeah!!~~"
Date Masamune

Story: (6/10) – Fair
Sengoku BASARA is about how the main characters combine forces to defeat the bad guy - Oda Nobunaga.

The story is very simple and predictable. Though the story is little boring, the many exciting battles in the series more than make up for it.

Characters: (9/10) – Very Good
Hot guys!!!~~

Here are the characters I like:

Date Masamune - He's one of the manliest characters I've seen!!~~ Everything about him.. his looks.. his fighting style.. are just too cool!! I also love it when he randomly speaks English! ^^



Sanada Yukimura - He's a sweetie. His passion and loyalty for his 'Oyakata-sama' is very cute!



Art/Animation: (8/10) Good
The art and animation are pretty well done, but the animation quality is a little inconsistent at times. The special fighting effects are well-animated and they make the battles interesting and exciting to watch.

Music: (8/10) – Good
The opening theme 'JAP' by abingdon boys school and the ending theme 'Break & Peace' by Dustz are pretty cool and suit the theme of the series well.

Enjoyment: (9/10) Very Good
I'm fangirling over Date Masamune throughout the series!~

Overall: (8/10) Good
Some people will like it because of its action and cool guys, and some will not like it because of the weak story. I obviously belong to the first group. If you are like me, do give Sengoku BASARA a try.
