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 bad, I have seen the live action movie (called Shinobi) first so I was familiar with the plot on the start. But in
the end things went differently and I like the anime more couse they didn't have to rush things like in the movie. There
is a lot of action from the start, charas are dying one by one, the whole thing in kinda tragic and sad, have a lot gore
and violence, but feelings too.
Well, absolutely my type, shame I haven't see it sooner. Superb show.
I saw some of the anime episode in local channel and I decided to save some money to buy the anime. I also got hooked on
the manga.
So, my personal comment, I think the graphic was really beautiful, lots of beautiful manly guys and 'gentle' girls. I
really love Masaki Segawa's drawing...XD
For the plot, I think we all should give Futaro Yamada some credits for it. It's intense and sad, not much humor left
after Gennosuke found out about the killing.
I found that there's a lot of admirable characters in Kouga's clan than Iga's clan, thou I have a soft spot for
Yashamaru from Iga, since he's the first character to appear in the series.
beautiful yet sad anime series. I found the artwork to be quite breathtaking, however how it ended was just evil. I enjoyed this series and have seen it twice now. thanks to television and their curiosity I'm able to have been able to watch quite a lot of anime on my own without even renting and/or buying it first.

Beauty can be deadly.
Basilisk is one of my favourite anime!
Not only it got awesome characters(only some weren't that cool) but the story was very interesting and great!
I'm not really a fan for the ending thou, it's heart-breaking. For once, I wish for a happy ending in an anime such as
this.
But, it got high dose of violence and explicit nudity (the manga is worse. The nudity etc I mean.), and the only sane
thing is Oboro and Gennosuke's feeling for each other.
But I still like it thou, this anime inspired me to draw a manga about ..something..and believe it or not, I draw more
than 200 pages. xD But I stop for awhile, cause the story aren't so strong and I need to redo t. :B
Tragedy. That's the best word to describe this anime. Manipulation, betrayal, hypocresy and love are good words too,
specially love.
The story has an underlying romance, something that gives us hope for a better ending, but turns everything else into a
bath of blood, the characters are puppets of destiny and greed, and all just because a woman wanted his son to be a
powerful man. Sometimes love is not enough. Good Ending, sad, but good.
