The best anime about the Meiji era. Only for 30 minutes author managed to convey all of the events, feelings and thoughts. I think that before watching this anime it is better to watch Gintama because you become attached to the characters, so you compassionated them more. You worried for the Shinsengumi. Kondo-san surprised you, Hijikata-san was so amazing and you were very sad because of Okita's illness. But most importantly that you know that all of characters were real, they lived in Japan, they are real people) I think that this anime is very interesting and cognitive.
