What an intense introduction to the anime. Great soundtrack. It is somewhat weird to hear Zoro's voice actor in this anime. This episode is a world-building episode which cause an information overload. I also find the pacing too fast for my liking. I think they already introduced all of the characters in this episode, which my brain can't absorb all of it.
Wow, what a crazy first episode. I am a little familiar with the Sengoku Basara series, and I remember it being pretty over the top and silly at times, despite the whole war theme. I was expecting the same for End of Judgement, but I was completely wrong. It's violent, edgy, and darker in tone than I originally thought. I could feel the tension as well as the rage that the characters felt. This is definitely a different experience. In the words of Date Masamune, "Are you ready, guys?" Because I'm ready to see this side of Sengoku Basara!
Oh, there is a lot going on here and as a viewer, I was so confused. I think the pace is too fast, there are so many characters that are being introduced all at once and I feel like this episode is something I would expect 2 to 3 episodes in. Not gripping at all- I had to pause and do something else cause the chaos was overwhelming.
