^.^; Sorry for not posting here in awhile...
Anime Name: Basilisk
Subbed, Dubbed, Both: Both
Number of Episodes: 24
Age Scale: Ehhhh... 13/14+?? Language, suggestive themes, blood/gore .__.;;
Summery: "To the one I love, prepare to die.." and that's how it starts. When lord Ieyasu calls the leaders of two ninja clans together to fight and show their abilities, even his closest aids are baffled why. The Kouga and Iga clans have been sworn enemies for 400 years. Impressed by both clan with the strength they show, he announces that he will pin the two rival clans agents each other to determine the next Shogun. But, unaware of the declaration of war, the two lovers, Oboro and Gennosuke, are making planes for the future and to finally end the battles between Kouga and Iga.
Personal Opinion: ^^ I really liked this anime~ The concept of the ninjas in this one is a lot better than some other ninja animes I’ve seen (not just geared towards Naruto..) The graphics I thought… They were so so, but still interesting :) (I don’t know, I just like the look of some older animes ^^) Though, some parts I really didn’t like (one of the deaths just made me cringe >__<U) And the romance a long with the action, it was nice, touching, yet, it I liked that it never lost the concept of the two rival clans. The only down part I found was, I had the WORST time keeping track of who was in what clan! And even what all of their names were. Only about when it was done, I finally got all of their names right.. But that was probably cause of all the deaths and only, like, five of them were left…
1-5 Scale: Hemm… 4 I’ve seen better, but I still think it’s worth recommending ^^
Where You Can Watch: Episode 1: Destiny
Closing Themes: Wild Eyes by Nana Mizuki and Hime Murasaki
Opening: Kouga Ninpou Chou by Onmyouza
Side Notes: If you ever do watch it, be sure to read this! I just found it and after seeing it, I can see why the anime is called Basilisk! .:linky:.
