Who are these guys?
It’s bad. Can we leave it at that? No?
I shall start with something simple, I am not familiar with the games. I suppose my reaction would have been worse if I had I think.
I am a huge fan of Sengoku anime, I even loved Sengoku Collection (I know no one remembers Sengoku Collection but it’s pure useless moe, that should show the extent of my love for Sengoku anime).
So, while I was incredibly in love with Sengoku Collection, I just couldn’t stomach Sengoku Musou.
First of all, it looks bad. Or well, it isn’t exactly that it looks bad, it looks cheap and not well-made. It feels like it was a last-minute thing. Which it probably was considering I think the announcement has been made like one month before the broadcast or something along those lines. Either way it looked cheap, it was like no one, not even the ones who made it, cared about the anime and so I couldn’t bring myself to really care either.
Second problem, and probably the worse, I don’t remember a single thing that happened during this episode. Well, I remember that people fought and I remember being introduced to what felt like a hundred characters all at once. We all know how badly this plot trick works in first episodes and we all know how boring it makes that first episode.
The worse is that I am familiar with the usual characters you find in Sengoku anime, this should make remembering everyone easy, yet it didn’t. Even knowing basically everyone, and having made articles about the characters and their seiyuu beforehand, at the end of the episode I only remembered Yukimura. I don’t even like Yukimura.
I don’t really know what more to say about that. I am not someone to drop anime so fast and I was confident I could find something redeeming in every anime. Yet I didn’t.
As such, I highly advise against watching Sengoku Musou. Do. Not. Watch.
