I’ll admit, I was a bit turned off by its use of Western culture codes instead of the Eastern ones in some places; a few historical inaccuracies (take firearms — the Japanese had known and used them even before the times this story is supposed to be set in)…

…and the improbable durability of katanas (they were — contrary to popular belief — backup weapons and would lose their sharpness quite quickly if they had been used the way they were in this story). But then again, I always treat historical settings more as a decoration than anything else.

It’s great when the creators do their homework, but, ultimately, it’s the story that counts. The story, which I expect to have a universal meaning.

This one may not be too innovative when it comes to the overall message, but, despite this, it’s still a fascinating series about honour, betrayal, loss and the destructive force of revenge.

All in all, it’s gripping, beautifully made and very good (except for episode six — episode six does not exist). I’m really curious about the characters’ further story, and I’m eagerly waiting for the second season, which has just been announced. What are your thoughts?
