IGNORE THE SYNOPSIS. If you got as far as the reviews, it means you're prepared to do just that. Please do. The synopsis makes this anime sound like it was churned out of a mill, with no real character, heart, or anything intriguing to make it stand out. But that is very far from the truth. Not only does it exceed the impression made by the synopsis, but it also exceeds the expectations of a "historical" anime. It stands on its own quite firmly. Has a 7 Samurai feel to it. If 7 Samurai meets Suicide Squad meets Rambo sounds like something you would like,it's definitely worth a watch.
