React Wistoria: Wand and Sword, the animation is amazing
It's a story about the same city as a slam dunk. I actually grew up in Kamakura, where the anime takes place, and there are still unmarked graves all over the place of people who died during this period.

this is real history btw. obviously not 1:1 but the event that occur in this anime is real event that happened. every character is real people. the "fake" shaman guy has a shrine in japan, if you search suwa shrine it will pop out.
Sorry for the translation from Japan. This animation is basically based on historical facts, although the author's style quirks and interpretations are used. Therefore, we should not assume that everything happened as in the cartoon, but I would be happy if you are aware that something similar to this actually did happen😊

*Historical belief based on written accounts From what I've heard from fellow historians and archaeologists, who I know in Japan, that period of time is incredibly confusing. No one is entirely sure what pieces actually happened, and what pieces didn't. Historical obfuscation is present in all histories on earth, but the obfuscation of that era of Japan, just seems far greater due to how chaotic the period was

I don't think a dark story has anything to do with enjoyment as a manga. Berserk is incredibly depressing, or Oyasumi Pun Pun. It's the own author's choice to add humor.
BTW, this is historical fiction. All of these characters are based on people who actually existed.

I’ve been a fan of this series since literally week 1 of the Manga. You are in for a ride my friend
In Japan, I learned these Kamakura ~ Muromachi(called "Nannbokucho(South and North divided dynasty, in English)") era was totally chaos. Even if Japanese confused about this era. Not all episode is truth, but not all fake and create. And also this anime doesn't says "this is Japanese." Enjoy this Anime, as Anime.

Not many shows that I watched made me this excited for the rest of the season. I'm watching this till the end for SURE!
3:33 The mark on the box is the family crest. Only people with high social status can have a family name and family crest. The mark is called "Mitsuuroko" and represents scales. The uroko crest is a pattern based on triangles. It came to be called "uroko" because the connected triangles look like the scales of a snake or dragon. It has been seen all over the world since ancient times, and in Japan it can also be seen on the murals of ancient tombs. It was believed to have the power to ward off evil, and became a family crest due to its religious significance. It is famous as the family crest of the Hojo clan. This story begins with the downfall of the Kamakura Shogunate due to the betrayal of one of its allies in 1333. Most of the characters are historical figures who appear in textbooks. The protagonist is also a real person.
As a Japanese, I hope this anime which involves the element of Japanese style will be evaluated by foreign people watching it.

They dropped wistoria yesterday and it was phenomenal too, the animation was actually top tier.
The Triforce is the Hojo family crest. Of course Nintendo knew that the Triforce is the same as the Hojo's crest. Yokoi Gunpei, one of the developers of Zelda, was born into the Yokoi family, a branch of the Hojo clan, and has a triforce engraved on his grave.
1185 The Heike clan is destroyed (Tale of the Heike) 1192: Establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate. 1274, 1281: Mongol Empire invades (Ghost of Tsushima) 1333: Fall of the Kamakura Shogunate(The Elusive Samurai)
I just finished watching this because the premise looked interesting but it was so much better than I would've expected. Animation is great and I love the part where the "Quack shaman" tells him that Takauji becomes a hero by killing where Tokiyuki becomes a hero by living.
Thus was such a pleasant surprise, I knew ther re must've been some sort of twist to hook you in but I still was caught off guard. The animation is amazing and I quite like our characters. Plot looks good too
One thing I love about this series is the mythological vibe it has. It's set further back in Japanese history than most historical manga will go, and the records back then would describe people as being blessed by the gods and such, so this series runs with that. There are people with divine powers, and they feel more like something out of actual mythology rather than a rigidly defined shonen power system.

You correct. These Manga and Anime based on Japanese history book ,called "Taihei-ki". And this book wrote by past people at that time, based on religious views. So, "blessed" expression is right.... History book says, Lots of Kamakura-Bushi ware pray for ”南無八幡大菩薩("Nam-Hachiman-Dai-Bosatsu" as name of god of war)” before battle.
People overseas are more likely to recognize the Triforce, but this symbol is the family crest of a samurai family during the Sengoku period. The family crest, which consists of three overlapping triangles, is called "Mitsu-uroko" (three scales) and is the family crest of the Hojo clan
Strictly speaking, Takauji's character is true to historical fact.
One of the top hits this season right here

8:00 he is Diavolo's va ironically
Ashikaga Takauji was sent from Kamakura to suppress the forces of the revolting Emperor Godaigo, but he eventually became the one who destroyed the Kamakura Shogunate. He is a hero who eventually destroyed even the new government of Emperor Godaigo and created the new Muromachi Shogunate, but from the Kamakura Shogunate's point of view, he is a terrible devil. Hojo Tokiyuki is a character that does not often appear in textbooks, but when he is visualized in this way, it makes us want to think about his character in depth! This is the best anime adaptation I've ever seen!
Clover works is always insane

@@rayhaanfuller That is the problem with the game Assassin's Creed Shadows. The production company has fabricated Japanese history far removed from historical fact and created a game filled with insults to Japanese culture and samurai. The company even claims that the game is not fiction but "based on historical facts and is correct Japanese history. The company claims to have had Japanese experts supervise the game, but in reality, the game is so poorly written that even non-experts Japanese would find 20 or 30 things wrong with it.
It is estimated based on existing armor and legends, but the average height of Japanese men of this era was 180cm. It is said that Takauji and his younger brother were also 180cm tall. It has been verified that after Takauji's time, the spread of Buddhism and the restriction of meat consumption led to smaller builds. The samurai of this era are not the samurai we imagine today. They were truly crazy berserkers.

In the end, the protagonist in the history book is beheaded, but the author has a lot of creative freedom, so it's not necessarily the true main character who gets executed.

I live in Kamakura, one of the settings of this anime. Even now, the place where the Hojo family died still remains, and it has a really creepy feel to it, with the atmosphere of ghosts. Kamakura samurai are terrifying. Will I win and kill them all? Or will they all be killed? He is different from the samurai that foreigners imagine.
