I’m biased towards the Kouga and really dispise the Ige, but that was my personal choice from the beginning.

They contradict each other as evil and just, and that’s why I hate one and not the other. Also notable are Mark Stoddard as Yakushiji Tenzen and Justin Cook as Yashamaru. Although he’s only on the show for a bit, I love Eric Vale’s characters for their wide-ranging types and voices. Eric Vale plays the sneaky Jimushi Jubei. He plays Kasumi Gyoubu, a big bald-headed master with… well… a power I’d rather have you I’ll have some more.ĪND THE VOICE ACTORS. Historical fiction with a bit of fantasy violence. Period piece anime like this are what gets my vote for good anime.

It’s got the gratuitous violence and graphic nudity, but besides that, it has animation/art that looks like it could be from the 1600’s shogunate era. And then let them duke it out in an amazing 24 episodes.įor a sort of grown-up shonen (anime geared towards 15 and under boys), this show is known as a seinen (18-30 year old men). But that’s the brilliant thing about the show. And it’s always sad to see one of the ninjas die. Whether they be stealth related or upfront attacks, the Kouga and Ige are well matched. (Usually every other episode.) And these are the scenes that make my jaw drop. Each of the ten ninjas on both sides have amazing individual powers that’re revealed as the show goes on. And the that’s where the shows bread and butter comes from. It’s a 10 vs 10, winner takes all match, and these highly skilled ninjas have powers.

These two are set to wed and the warring of their clans sets them at odds as the anime progresses.Īnd that’s not all. But at the heart of this feud at the two leaders of the clans, Gennosuke Kouga (Troy Baker) and Oboro Ige (Laura Bailey). And then suddenly, to determine the next shogun, the pact has been dissolved and the two clans slowly relinquish the hate they had for one another. The Iga and Kouga clans for centuries now have been subjected to a no fighting pact. I was surprised and blown away by the basic premise of this anime. The intro explains it, but yes, it involves a bird and a snake. So I’ve been watching through every single anime Christopher Sabat has ever done and I found this anime first.

Does the anime basilisk have nudity
