This review compare heavily to the TV series! Given how bad the two TV seasons were, I was hesitant to start the movie recaps. Surprisingly, movie 1’s pacing turned out to be great, introducing characters with incredible fighting animation (and Chizuru is finally not as useless). However, movie 2 went back to the pacing TV series were, in fact, worse. By trying to incorporate every charcters feeling towards Chizuru, the plot lines were very incoherent and messed up. We get to know each character a little more (ex. Kazama’s and Harada’s story) on the sacrifice of the overall story. In conclusion, this movie made me somuch more confused that the 2nd season of the TV eps. The only good thing were the art designs and animation (way better than TV), Shinsengumi’s hotness just went up by another level.

P.s. there’s some small scenes that contains characters from the prequel (reimeiroku)!
