At first glance, the opening may give the impression that this anime revolves around supernatural powers or special abilities. However, this assumption quickly proves to be misleading. Despite the visual effects used in certain episodes, the series is, at its core, a historical anime, and these effects serve more as stylistic choices than narrative devices.
One of the most discussed aspects of the series is its animation. The heavy use of CGI is undeniably noticeable and, in this case, not particularly well-executed. While there are examples of anime that successfully utilize CGI, this production struggles to reach that level of quality. That said, by the end

of episode three, there are moments where the animation appears more traditionally animated, which slightly improves the viewing experience, though the inconsistency remains apparent.
Narratively, the anime delivers what it promises in its synopsis. The story stays grounded in its historical setting, and the characters are one of its stronger points. Each character is given enough personality and background to remain engaging, and their individual stories add variety and interest to the overall narrative.
One element that may feel uncomfortable to modern audiences is a detail confirmed in episode two regarding the protagonist’s wife. While historically accurate for the period portrayed, it can still come across as unsettling depending on personal sensibilities. This aspect does not break the narrative, but it is noticeable and may affect enjoyment for some viewers.
In terms of sound, both the opening and ending themes feature enjoyable music. Unfortunately, the visuals accompanying them are lackluster, particularly the ending sequence, which relies on a repetitive running animation of the protagonist and fails to leave a strong impression.
Overall, the anime can be described as average. It has a clear identity, interesting characters, and a setting it commits to, but its technical shortcomings—especially the CGI—hold it back from standing out. Whether it resonates or not will largely depend on how much the viewer values historical storytelling over visual presentation.
