Synopsis
Takasugi and Katsura hunt a dangerous time-manipulating device during Japan's turbulent Bakumatsu era.
The Bakumatsu was an era in which the souls of young men burned with anxiety for their country's future. Takasugi Shinsaku, a soldier of fortune from Choshu, sneaks aboard a government ship with his comrade Katsura Kogorou in search of a mysterious "timepiece" with the power to manipulate time. Believing such power too dangerous for any one group to control, Takasugi seeks to prevent its misuse. Their journey leads them from the high seas to the ancient capital of Kyoto, where they find themselves caught in the midst of a nation undergoing dramatic transformation. As they navigate this volatile period of Japanese history, the two warriors must confront forces that threaten to reshape their country's destiny in ways they never imagined.
The Bakumatsu was an era in which the souls of young men burned with anxiety for their country's future. Takasugi Shinsaku, a soldier of fortune from Choshu, sneaks aboard a government ship with his comrade Katsura Kogorou in search of a mysterious "timepiece" with the power to manipulate time that he fears the government wishes to keep for themselves. Rather than allow such power to fall into the wrong hands, Takasugi plans to destroy the artifact, but having obtained it, the artifact is quickly stolen, forcing the pair to follow the mysterious thief to the seat of government in Kyoto. However, when they arrive in the capital, they discover that the government has been overthrown and the deity Susanoo now reigns in its place. The streets of the city and the people in them are much different than Takasugi and Katsura remembered. The times may have changed but their mission hasn't - Takasugi and Katsura resolve to reset time and save their nation from the nefarious forces trying to hijack it. (Source: Tokyo Otaku Mode)

- 4/10 “Bakumatsu Crisis has its saving graces in the beauty of its visuals and its historical era setting, which is why it still earns a 4 rather than nothing. However, the season is rubbish compared to...”
- 1/10 “If you thought Season 1 was a snooze, you're right. But as a completionist, I'd have to say, the moment that this series had a Season 2, like literally "TBC" right after Episode 12, this baffles...”
- 2/10 “Six episodes into the 2nd season and already my predictions have come true. This series has no idea where it's going and it feels like every episode is being made up as it goes. I've had issues...”
