Reviews (1)
This anime series is really a monstrosity. In the beginning, it looks like a narrative based on Romeo and Juliet, however, it quickly turns into a feud between two clans with brutal slaughter, where someone dies in almost every episode. It also has an amazing atmosphere, heaps of violence, and a decent amount of rawness in places, which makes this a real gem among action-adventure anime series. Moreover, the whole narrative is superbly crafted, and so besides all the slaughter it can sometimes be surprising, with really interesting twists, and there are some pretty strong emotional scenes too. The characters are not extremely complicated, however, they are certainly well developed and you are bound to find a character you are going to like (I liked Gennosuke, Oboro, Koshirou, Hotarubi, Saemon...) and hate (I hated Tenzen, Jingorou, Shougen...). The ending is very emotional and entertaining... So if you like animated violence and epic action, then Basilisk is for you. 9/10.
