This show is very difficult to understand at first. GG fansubs did not translate alot of the honorific terms and rather than editting them into the actual video file they have a PDF file with the information instead...

Every single person in this show is evil. Evil, evil evil. I wonder if the narrator too is a bad person...

This show isn't flashy, isn't glitzy, and it's got an incredibly horrible opening song (J-rock/hip-hop to introduce a traditional Kabuki story?)

But by the end of episode 1 you do know what is going on and who all the characters are. Its only confusing for the first 5-8 minutes because of the names and plethora of historical facts thrown at you.

The best thing about this show is the story, which seems to be quite a classic and has some monstrously evil characters. I think this is worth watching if you have extra free time, although I don't think very many typical anime fans will sing praise to a show like this one.
