I don't usually write reviews, but I thought I would for this anime. It first caught my eye on Netflix and I'm glad it did. Like the other reviews say, if you are interested in history, especially early 20th century history, this is the anime for you. However, my only major qualm with the show is that towards the end, the characters and the plot become a little shaky. Nevertheless, I would even just watch this anime for the animation and the soundtrack alone (goodness, the soundtrack is amazing, it's kind of a mix between Legend of Korra and jazz). And if you enjoy agood hand to hand combat fight scene, this anime is chock full of them. It is certainly not an award winning anime, but I think it deserves more love than it is currently getting.
