Summary: The story begins in 1629 Shizuoka during Tokugawa Tadanaga's rule. The daimyo staged a tournament where the participants fought with real steel Japanese swords rather than bokken ("wooden sword"), against his vassals' strong objection. The story revolves around the first match between the one-armed swordsman Fujiki Gennosuke and the blind samurai Irako Seigen and deals with the circumstances that led the two to participate in Tokugawa's tournament.

This anime was pretty dark. It shows how people really are, there is not really a good guy or a bad guy.
Just people that want to reach their goals by any means necessary.
The characters are deep and well made.
I have to say that the story was a little confusing at first, but it works out fine if you keep watching.
The animation is really impressive and it really fits with the characters.
But I dont think its complete?

In short, this is probably one of the best samurai animes Ive seen so far.
And I would recommend it to anyone who likes that genre, but be warned this anime is intense, the violence is pretty extreme and theres alot of nudity.

If you can imagine Yuri on Ice! meets Holmes of Kyoto, then this is it. Slow paced but gripping. Boy-Love but not distasteful...
