Ah, I almost finished reading it in one breath, I didn't expect the story to end like this.
At first, I saw Chaos Warrior in the barrage of Cowboy Star, and then I saw the picture of two people holding swords in the OP, so I decided to look for it.
It's my favorite style.
The OP is awesome. Even if I download the whole episode, I don't dance OP every episode. The art and music are awesome. I like this kind of jazz hiphop very much. Then there are the fight scenes. This show can be said to be the best anime I have ever seen in martial arts. Good-looking art and a suitable soundtrack are the prerequisites for me to watch an anime. For example, because I watched Interstellar Cowboy before, the painting style of Magical Girl Madoka was completely unwatchable.
The characters are very rich, and the characters are three-dimensional, multi-faceted and vivid, so the sense of substitution is very strong. Infinity and Jin should represent two completely different Bushidos. They all carry out their Bushido spirit. The wind is the girl who smells like sunflowers. See, even the character names are so suitable for everyone.
The story is too smooth, the journey is very fast, I meet all kinds of people on the road, and I accidentally arrive in Nagasaki. The screenwriter is really strong. Each episode is not only a small story, but also promotes the development of the plot. Even the episodes that jump out of the main line will not violate the harmony at all, and the rhythm of the plot is still very fast.
If there are only such things as art, soundtrack, and character design, this show is still an empty shell. What makes this show admirable after watching it is that it has enough deep connotation to support it.
As a historical drama, it inevitably mentions history, from the Warring States period to the Edo period, the decline of samurai groups, the corruption of the shogunate, the invasion of foreign cultures, and Japan's transition from seclusion to being forced to open its doors. I'm not familiar with Japanese history, so I don't dare to comment on this one. The cultural atmosphere in the play is also very strong, from Japan's ukiyo-e, shamisen, prostitutes, to the foreign hip-hop, street graffiti, baseball, and the spread of religion, the impact of Catholicism on Japan.
What I like most is the way it expresses Bushido, the way of life for the samurai. Everyone in the play has their own rules of survival, everyone is burdened with a heavy past, but lives strong.
When I finally met that powerful samurai, I was really worried that Infinity and Jin would die. What do you do when you run into a completely unbeatable opponent? My heart truly worries for them. It's not like watching other anime at all. Like One Piece, I know that Luffy will not die no matter what, so I will not worry at all, but Infinity and Ren, they are completely possible to die. So it hurts when they get hurt.
The emotions of the characters are also very subtle. Ren and the woman he saved, Infinity and Yasuha. I think they take the romance of men to the extreme. I don't even know what their emotions are. What bothered me the most was the night before we parted, Feng couldn't sleep by the river, and Ren and her words were hesitant to say, and they couldn't fall asleep and lie down and look at their infinity.
Fortunately, everyone is still alive, and the wind has achieved the purpose of the trip. I originally thought that they would continue to walk together like this, but I didn't expect that, just like that, they parted easily. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to say goodbye to the breakup like that. Or is there no eternal feast in the world?
Their journey continues, and hopefully they will meet again elsewhere.
Goodbye my samurai.
