Themes: Ninja, Samurai
Plot Summary: A year before the battle of Sekigahara that ended the Sengoku Period, the ninja Saizou Kirigakure meets the miko Nami Isa as she's attacked by assassins. Her shrine was destroyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu for siding with Yukimura Sanada. Meanwhile, Sanada has been gathering ten warriors known as Sanada's Brave 10, who have the power to change history. As they gather one by one, Nami's own mysterious power awakens.

Hadena - Episode 01
I like what I've seen so far. Less deep and serious than Basilisk, trendier and less bishounen-focused than Hakuouki. Can't compare it to Sengoku Basara since I have yet to see it..
How many eps will this be? Really liked the first ep.
12 episodes.
Based on this first episode I'd say this is less epic than Sengoku Basara. Kind of closer to individual characters, less focused on the grand shit hitting the fan.Quote:

I liked it but echoing Kraco it felt like a less epic Sengoku Basara. Hopefully the character interactions will do enough to carry the day. The girl was a bit annoying but that's to be expected with her archetype, however I did like the touch that they made her skin dirty and scarred, ostensibly from the frantic escape through the forest but possibly b/c she was being abused or some such at the shrine.
I'd say that possibility is rather low...Quote:

Clearly this show is unlikely to push against any well established boxes, but there's no need for you to remind us all of that, even if we're not all as jaded as you most of the people who browse these forums are experienced enough anime watchers to expect little surprise from shows with generic premises and generic first episodes. What are you trying to accomplish by dismissing my assertion that the show might do something slightly out of the ordinary?
Accomplish? Nothing.Quote:

Cool show is cool.
Feels cliche though, so here's hoping for a couple of twists along the way to make things interesting.
The thing I fear most is Isanami getting kidnapped and the uber traditional rescue the princess plot appearing. It looks exceedingly inevitable to happen, as well, since it was the whole point of this episode and the preview suggests the same will continue in the next one. But with the whole show beginning with Isanami fleeing from wannabe captors, I guess there's not much choice.
At least the fight have been pretty good.
I wish Isanami will develop into a Kaname Chidori type. You know, hunted princess that kicks ass as much as she possibly can rather than being Princess Peach
HorribleSubs - Episode 03
----------------------------
If someone didn't think of "what will his face look like if I raped and killed you before his eyes", they can't be that bad. Or maybe he really is a woman.
Apparently it's a Kunoichi's job to be slutty.
To be fair, it's takes one second to kill someone, but raping someone in front of your enemy requires the enemy to be restrained or otherwise unable to do anything. Besides, interestingly enough the thief did nothing resembling his threat. Isanami was merely roped in the best bondage tradition, and that's it. He didn't make a move to slay her in front of Saizou. Perhaps he was planning to disable Saizou and then do it. Who knows. Maybe he was all talk.Quote:

It was only a matter of time. But at least she was kidnapped by Date Masamune and not a lesser man.
The fight in the underground cavern was pretty funny with everybody seemingly having forgotten the more peculiar ninja skills they had in previous fights.
I'm just amused that the guy's still gay for Saizo. I'll be hard to imagine an episode without Isanami around next week though..
<3 Ana.
HorribleSubs - Episode 08
This show certainly has far more talk and partying than fights or any serious story progress. Even Isanami (or the power she's carrying) has got surprisingly little development. With the lack of clear plots elsewhere, that leaves everything hanging in the air. Perhaps the next ep will finally reveal something, but who knows.
It's sad to see Ana go. But to be honest, to gather such a group of talents would be unlikely without a spy or two infiltrated in.
Hard to see how she managed to escape after being disabled so badly.. but ninjas have their ways.Quote:

Isanami's still got scars all over her this episode that I hadn't noticed before (I think they mentioned it in the first episode while she was on the run, but they've disappeared since then. I'm going to say that it's the same effect as the darkness on her skin that comes out when she's sad.)
Damn the action sucked in this episode. The director must have been drunk. It was so bad I was actually hoping the so called braves would really die.
My main disappointment was that the strength-woman turned manly. :(
I always wonder at why people don't use their secret techniques from the get-go neither - such as Saizo and his super-buster-whatever.
The insect fight was good though. Only thing wrong with that one was that Sasuke got kissed when he should have slit her throat.
I fail to understand how Sasuke didn't slit the insect Queen's throat when he had the chance? Are they not ninjas? 0_o
Sasuke failing to slit her throat was much later than the rifle dude repeatedly failing to shoot the woman. What use is it to fight the insects (or any other controlled beasts or underlings) when you can end it all instantaneously with the bloody gun? Just shoot the bitch and be done with it... But no.
Too bad Musashi hadn't yet written his book. It would have made much needed evening reading for these fools.
He's bad with women. ;)Quote:
