#also importantly the main character is very squishable can i adopt him..

[spock-adoodledoo]

halfway obsessed with elusive samurai this is terrible.

i wish it was more popular in english spaces because truly it has such beautiful animation and such unserious humor. yorishige compels me and i think back to his monologue about power that comes from mystery and the unexplained a lot. the emphasis that the time period it's set in is the last era of a lot of things and consequently the first era of others is really interesting and makes the narration kind of solemn sometimes. they made 千里眼 and 顺风耳 into evil yaoi. somehow the humor manages to be slapstick but the gore and absurd horror still hits hard. the moments where a lot of characters and even the narration break the fourth wall really make it feel like a strange history textbook with colorful commentary and i think that's neat of them. most importantly historical manga is interesting to me and i think more series should just completely reimagine a historical figure's life, for funsies
