Tareren's Basilisk Tv Review
Rated:
I must say that this anime started out great. The twisted rivalry plot is one of the strong point of Basilisk. In each and every episode in the anime you will feel the curiosity and the tension in between the two sides. When it seems that one side finally has the upper hand, the other side will unexpectedly get back at them and gain the upper hand instead.. this goes on and on.. I really enjoy watching the first few episodes..

“My Beloved, prepare to die...”
Basilisk is an extraordinary anime from start to finish. Not only is the overall main plot fantastic (Romeo and Juliet
with blood and ninjas, how amazing is that?) and absolutely heart wrenching, but the many smaller subplots are also
incredibly touching. The anime furthermore takes great care in fleshing out its many unique, conflicted and beautiful
characters, their relationships and motivations. This is done so very well, and I ended up truly caring about what
happened to all of them (I might even have shed a little tear or two while watching the series).
The artwork and animation is also great. The fights are far from boring, thanks to animation and the different ninja
skills the characters are gifted - or maybe more like cursed - with.
I honestly did not really notice the music all that much while I watched Basilisk. It was not bad at all, but while I
liked it (and thought it fit the mood very well) I can’t say that I thought it was particularly mind-blowing. The only
song that really stood out to me was the one titled Jakumetsu.
Overall Basilisk is an anime I would highly recommend to those interested in watching a great story that got all,
romance, action etc. (It however should be noted that the story is rather dark and not for children).
I really liked this series since I love samurais. But I also were expecting more romance. The ending was sad, mostly reminds me of Romeo & Juliet obviously. But overall, the art and animation were ok, the action scenes were alright too. Characters were awesome though, especially the main character. I recommend this anime for those who love romance, samurais and tragic endings.
Zettodono rated 9.75:The story takes place in the year 1614. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between 10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between them.
One of the best anime from GONZO. One of the best anime about shinobi. The tragic story tells of the bravery, sacrifice,
treachery, lust for power, love and death. The latest series to watch without tears is impossible.
Anime very deep.
There is something to think about after watching.
not one of my favorites, the art is good, i'll admit, and the opening, just awesome. but the fight sequences
could improve, to me it was like they put the manga in motion and although it was a good story, there are many
episodes that were expendible. for the music i'd go with a 7, but in general i've seen much better when it comes to
ninja stories.
