Review Sengoku Basara

Too manly for one horse


The era of the warring states was a chaotic time when many great warlords fought over who would become the new ruler of Japan. Yet even this bloodshed pales in comparison to the depredations of the devil king Oda Nobunaga. Can the other warriors of the realm muster up the courage and power to overcome the monumental threat of Nobunaga?

Sengoku Basara is an anime show based on a video game of the same name. From what I gather the game was a 3D beat em up game with super powered versions of people from 16th century Japan fighting armies and each other and that translates well into the anime show. So this means this show is mostly an action series with any other genre being secondary at most.

The characters in Sengoku Basara act in a generally exaggerated manner which could be slightly funny to some viewers. Personally I found most of the cast to be decent and somewhat interesting although not especially compelling. Think of this show as light entertainment and little of anything else. Needless to say using this show as a history primer is an easy way to get an F.


Overall Sengoku Basara a fun turn your brain off action show but don't go in expecting too much out of it.

Rating The bronze gunmen (Gurren Laggan) For being an average but crazy and over the top action show
