You dont have to be a novice to the Sengoku Basara series (because I'm not) or a newbie to the anime culture either to enjoy this anime with its amazing battle war cry's. At first glance (from the original Sengoku Basara anime) I was hooked from day 1, the animation pensmenship was so detailed, you could tell this was'nt a cheap knock off of sorts. The fight scene's were brutally and powerfully animated (and thankfully not subjected to replaying the same actions over and over again). After the first series had finished, I waited (for a seriously long amount of time) with other anime fansby my side too, and the day finally arrived. Sengoku Basara Ni (Or 2, if you'd like to call it), kept everything at a vantage point from its predecessor, the full blitz and blownout battle field wielding all its former glory of hack and slash action was everything I waited for. I've watched upto the latest ep so far, and I truly recommend this for anyone who's looking for a climatic story with fierce competion.
