I fell in love with this anime since the 1st episode. The story is announced from the start: we will follow the downfall of the Heike clan and the fact that we know from the start what will happen at the end does not make the anime less good and on the contrary, rejuvenates more interest in this one. The characters all have unique personalities and the overall atmosphere is very appreciable. The humor is not too much and mixes well with the atmosphere. I find the story told to be really great and never has a more boring moment and on the contrary have timesthat I find great. The sad moments and the happier moments really make this anime one of my favorites. I find it underrated and hope more people will recognize all of this anime's great qualities.
