Summary:
Set in a distant land, Japan is divided into feudal territories, yet conquered by outside countries, the city Musashi that will ignite the flame of battle is being targeted and has no choice but to keep its people safe by entering this war, with the fate of the world resting on its hands, the students of Musashi may hold the key to victory.
The synopsis caught my attention so I gave it a shot. Three episodes in, I'm already hooked and am going to watch it all.
Oddball characters, unusual setting, but somehow they're managing to make the characters interesting despite how unusual they are (not an easy task). I mean, giving a slime personality without any manner of real facial or body expressions isnt all that easy. It's also nice how they've got all this extremely high level technology yet the characters dont seem heavily affected by it unlike some series where the technology shapes the characters in rather drastic ways. There are still a lot of things I don't understand, but I'm only three episodes in so I'm not worried if there are questions.
I'm looking forward to seeing the many questions answered over the course of the series. For a series to grab me, a rather jaded long time fan of anime like that speaks volumes about its quality.
