A 9 outta 10 is what I give.
I would've gave it a 10 if the animation was more detailed (meaning no stills, stock footages, blackout with swords clashing into each other, etc.), have several more eps to cover up the important events from the game, and.... MORE FIGHT SCENES!! XD
I love this series and its my 4th fav overall. I'm so gonna buy this on dvd when it comes out in thinpack. I cant believe ADV renamed it to Shadow Warrior Chronicles, a fucking gay title.
I got into this anime by just dling random new animes airing that time of the season. After watching the first ep, I wasnt really into this whole hybrid characters thing but the OP song is freakin catchy as hell. I didnt care much for the ED. I was amazed at the fight scenes and the world being blown up in the OP scenes. I cut out the OP scenes to make a separate file so I dont have to go through the eps all the time for the OP. When I reached ep 5, i was like OMFG!!!! That fight scene was fucking awesome!! That's when my obbsession began for Utawarerumono.
