I loved this anime for one reason, and one reason only, "samurai" I love any anime that has to have anything to do with samurai. I absolutely love it. This anime, was indeed went at somewhat a snail's pace. But, as each part pieced together, then I slowly started to get a better understanding of each and every character, within this short anime but, really secretive anime series. It shows how humans are able to control or "mask" their emotions, even under extreme stress. But, each person has their own curiosity to unravel the past of those who of the mysterious type.
