Fantastic, artful, bloody, very adult samurai anime. If you like Blade of the Immortal you like this too. Great music score. Fine artwork. Gripping storyline.

Good classic thriller
15 June 2020
I don't understand the bad reviews here. It's not a gory horror supernaturally themed picture. It's a thriller and a pretty good one. Very well made, good acting, creeps and scary bits at the right place. Found this little gem on Netflix and enjoyed the goose bumps. I give it 8/ 10.

Gentle anime
9 June 2020
A beautiful biopic of a father and daughter who a free spirits and great artists in the edo era. Complex themes as parental regret, devoted love between siblings, the hardships of creativity as an artist, father and daughter relationship, to name a few are gently depicted. The Animation is nicely done, the Voice acting is very good ( I watched it in japanese with subtitles) For me a 8.6/10

Dark and yet so sweet
5 June 2020
I loved the combination of drama/ thriller/heart wrenching love story and socio-critical aspects. Don't be fooled by the cute animals. It is a realistic dark story for adults. The 3D animation is exceptionally good. Voice acting in Japanese is marvelous. Script is smart and gripping. Looking so forward to season 2! I give it a 9/10.

Amazing!

Funny, bloody and gory, dystopian anime for adults. The animation reminds me of Heavy Metal ( movie), Akira, and Moebius. Beautiful! Storyline? Great! Characters? Great! MAPPA nailed it. Looking so forward to season 2. This is my personal opinion and I give 9.5/ 10

Best movie ever
10 May 2020
Just my personal opinion. Everything is perfect about this movie. I saw the movie the first time when I was 12 and it was mind blowing for me. 38 years later I feel the same about this movie. Timeless and beautiful. For me 10/10 with a star and smile

Totally thrilled

A fabulous Jidai-Geki ( Chanbara) anime set in the Edo period. Dramatic, deep, frightening, gory, bloody as hell, gripping story line, wonderful modern animation, fantastic fight scenes, wonderful music score.. One of my favorites of 2019/2020 next to "Dororo". Nothing for the faint hearted.... a classy high quality anime for adults. For me a 9.5/10

Such a Lovely, relatable and clever show. Ricky Gervais is brilliant. The characters are lovable, edgy, bonkers... just human. Binged through both seasons. Yes, I laughed so many times and yes, I cried too. Looking so forward to season 3. For me a 9/10 .

Angst in broad daylight
27 March 2020
In my opinion a masterpiece of the demanding film. Located somewhere in between drama, arthouse and horror. A radical movie with powerful scenes, leaving the viewer very pensive and with a feeling of unease and distraught. 8.8/10.

So well done!
8 March 2020
After watching with great interest and and joy seasons 1 and 2, I really looked forward to season 3. And I was not disappointed! Great gripping storyline, well written dialogues, characters are so likable and have depth, great voice acting. You'll love even the antagonists.Incredibly thrilling arc. Even the erotic content fits absolutely in the dramatic story and is totally appropriate .Wonderful OST. One of the best anime of the last 2 years. One tiny little negative thing to criticize is the animation art. For my taste a bit wooden. 9,5 /10 Totally bingeworthy!!

Exceptional!
22 December 2019
Sweet animation, great music, clever and philosophical, well thought dialogues. Definitely worthwhile and worth seeing. For me a 9/10!
The non-linear story line may be a bit confusing at first. But all character's actions and events that happen are linked together and at the end everything falls into place.

Hooked on K- dramas !
11 November 2019
I binged through this K-drama/Fantasy Crime and I enjoyed it so much! I love the combination of drama, crime, fantasy and a bit of comedy. Fine acting and clever script. The characters are extremely lovable. The plot is gripping. All in all a very good tv show. If you like BLACK you'll love also TUNNEL and SIGNAL .
