DVD 1: Age of Chaos
This first volume packs five action-heavy episodes full of typical samurai posturing and warriors getting soundly thrashed. The spotlight alternates between Yakumo and Miyamoto, each of which gets his fair share of lead time and butt-kicking opportunities, though Miyamoto does it with his sword and Yakumo does it with swift, precision martial arts moves. Yakumo's light-hearted, free-spirited personality is strongly reminiscent of another lovable simpleton, Dragon Ball Z's Goku, and contrasts sharply with the more serious, focused, and conceited Miyamoto. Both are equally shallow and straightforward in their portrayals, however. Iori is your typical spunky samurai wannabe, albeit a remarkably perceptive one, who does a bit of fighting and would do a lot more if he were more capable. Though she doesn't do any actual fighting in this volume, Shiori gets a good share of the screen time as the girl who was always raised as a boy and so doesn't know how to behave or feel as a woman, which gets her completely flustered when she starts to fall in love with Yakumo. She is the one main character who has shown any degree of depth so far, and the storytelling is always at its best when focused on her. Otherwise the main reason for the existence of the series seems to be to deliver rousing action scenes—although admittedly the first volume does that quite well.
