This series has left me conflicted that's for sure... I wanted to watch something a bit darker and more serious than some of the recent series I've been watching but this one might've carried it a bit too far!

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is definitely a Romeo and Juliet-esque story where the overall story world takes a backseat to the individual characters. It is a very gripping, compelling story with lots of action and emotion. Since this is a review, and hence my own opinion, I could not rate it excellent as much as I would have (read more)

What can i say? i enjoyed watching Basilisk. But compared to others, this is an average anime if you'll ask me. Actually for me, what i really like in this anime is the action scenes although some are scenes are not meant for kids to watch..If you like ninjas.. well, im sure you'll like this anime!!

Basilisk is a ninja action anime. While not perfectly fitting into shounen style anime, it definitely has a very similar feel, in some parts, to Naruto and the likes. This is primarily due to the ninja's and their individual ninjitsu's.

The story line is engaging from the start, but at times stagnates. The story is very romeo and juliet esqu, the son and daughter of two separate major clans are engaged and fall in love but then the clans, who have a history of bad blood, feud again, and so all hell breaks loose.

This anime is worth a watch, (read more)

i will highly recommend this anime for those who loves action anime like ninja scroll and such. the story is well thought off. but what makes this anime worth its time is all the unique action sequences. since every fighter has his \ here fighting style. the animation is well drawn, and its been payed a lot of time in to the details. it is almost only one word fitting for the animation.. Excellent. ive started over this anime now for the 3rd time and still am amazed over being able to find detail that i missed the other 2 times ive watched this (read more)
