lol. I have to frankly disagree with that one. Yes, Irako is pretty damn twisted like the rest of the cast and all, but him slashing through the samurai culture that fostered his hatred, it's almost as if he's some kind of a crusader, killing the people who wronged him.
And yeah, feudal classes have had way too much power with reckless abandon everywhere from Europe to Asia. Thank god the modern era took them down quite a few notches. |

I kind of wish I never watched this. Not that it was bad, quite the opposite. It was one of the best samurai anime I've ever seen since Trust and Betrayal....yet the series has no real conclusion and there doesn't seem to be any signs of a second season or anything. Sucks because this was a real nitty gritty samurai series unlike any other I've seen so far.
They give you this great Irako vs. Fukuji fight build-up in episode 1 then go through all this back story showing how they got to that point but they don't even return back to the fight or even leave the series at decent point that one could link back to it.

Yeah I heard about the manga and looked into more info about shortly after I finished the TV series, I was hoping to not have to add another manga series to my backlog just because the TV version didn't do a good job at covering the story but I guess I have no choice with this one.
