Audience

Ten years after a revolution ushers in the Meiji era, Japan remains troubled by violence, corruption, and poverty. With swords banned yet murders continuing, a wandering swordsman encounters people affected by the unrest and becomes involved in efforts to protect them and build a more peaceful future.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy historical action anime with redemption, humor, and strong character bonds; Not for you if you want the classic series’ music, atmosphere, or slower pacing.
