One character even has a motorcycle handle bars and exhaust pipes on his horse! If you think that sounds over the top.well, thats the whole idea. Several of the characters are even based on actual people.but here they are given flashy, colorful outfits that make them look like medieval superheroes/villains, wield badass kung-fu weapons, have nicknames like "One-Eyed Dragon", "Tiger of Kai" and "The Devil King", spout dialog that sounds like Sheakespeare on testosterone (it's cooler than it sounds), and use Dragon Ball Z-style super powered martial-arts moves that boldly defy the laws of physics. You see, the "Sengoku" of the title refers to the "Sengoku" or "Warring States" period of Japanese history, which lasted over 100 years and saw constant battle as numerous factions fought for territory and control. Based on a video game series that itself turned Japanese history into a comic book, this is the coolest anime show I've seen in quite some time.
