[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]

I put 18+ warning here because the movie has a lot of bloody scene (well, what do you expect from a war? XD).

I'm waiting for this movie since I don't know when because of Yamaken, but when I'm watching it I'm captivated by Yoshizawa Ryo as Eisei (^o^)

For the movie itself, I feel like this movie is a fusion between Rurouni Kenshin and Lord of The Ring (^_^;) I didn't focused too much to the story, I'm more focused to the action scene, which for me great enough (except for some "fall down" or "thrown off" scene). The story was great as far as I remember, but the ending feels like it being forced to be ended, a.k.a a bit anti-climax and too simple for the closure of that big story.

The casts acting are superb, especially for Yoshizawa Ryo and Hongo Kanata. Yoshizawa Ryo's imperial expression and gesture are really dazzling (♡-_-♡), while Hongo Kanata's vicious expression really thrilling ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : ) Not forget to mention that Nagasawa Masami is really badass ♡ ～('▽^人) How about Yamaken? He's doing great too, so powerfull (ox strength, said Hyou XD), free-wheeling and passionate, but sometimes I feel like he force his "free-wheeling" and comical act so that they're becomes bit too much. But despite than that, he's doing great as usual (°◡°♡)
