The art is really nice, the OST was pretty good as well as the CST and music in general.

I don't really watch any anime involving samurai, at least I haven't before, so I'm not sure if it is "just a bunch of samurai tropes put in one show" but it looked really interesting to me.

For starters, I've never seen anyone get killed by a kite, gold paper or little shuriken stickers.

The action scenes were the only disappointment for me, they seemed to lack flow but I'm hopeful that I just imagined it and that it gets better.

I will keep watching some more and see how it develops.

Well, this was bloody for sure. Yuuen's group sure has...interesting ways of getting their jobs done.

Overall, it felt like an "origin story" for Raizou to me, with so many (perhaps everyone) of his clan killed.

For me, it's hard to say if the show will be any good so far. The visuals and music are beautiful, but it needs to build solid plot characters, Drama and/or Mystery now.

Their weapon choices are goofy and do take you out of the time period a bit. The reveal of their skills is supposed to come off cool I guess but I just found myself laughing especially at Usui. It's good enough to give a couple more episodes though, I'm curious where this show will go.

Pretty decent first ep. I'm interested in seeing where this goes. Also the one with the kite 100% a boy right? It's gotta be a trap

Bet the short girl with the kite will be the most favorite char
Why? Because she is maybe the only main girl in the cast of males. Just sayin'
I don't really like the white-haired one, but the rest are acceptable
Great first ep, just not as flashy or impactful as Urobuchi's previous works
Maybe it follows the 3 episode rule?

You’re assuming it’s not a trap. Nio definitely gave be crossdresser vibes. I hope I’m wrong, but that’s the impression I got.

Off to an okay start for me. Idk if it's maybe because my head was somewhere else while I watched this but this first episode felt a bit off. Definitely going to come back next week though before giving up on this one!

I'm still kind of confused about who this group of merchants (?) are, but I enjoyed the episode. Kite girl is cute, she looked a bit too happy killing that guy, but I love insane female characters like that.

Wasn't expecting that seppuku at the end. The ED song is very beautiful.

The modern Santa Maria of Guadalupe tattoo takes its influence from an actual cloth made up of her resemblance which is as old as 400-500 years,so it won't be wierd for him to have that tattoo

No way this is 6.90. I am guessing it ruffled some feathers because looking at it from simply a writing, animation, sound, voice acting, character design perspective it's at least a 7 or 8.

I'm actually super surprised by the low score already? I saw the score before I watched it, so I thought it was going to be disappointing, but I loved it a lot. I didn't expect it to be so bloody either which was also a pleasant surprise, I especially liked that kite kill. It reminded me of the movie Ninja Assassin for some reason (coincidentally the main character is also named Raizo which is cool). But anyways, I didn't expect Raizo to get his revenge like that so soon. I'm guessing there's even more to that drug situation and I'm betting Yui had something to do with what was going on. Also, did anyone else think that that was mafumafu singing the OP at first or just me?

First of all, Hellsing Ultimate has a way better animation and it was released in 2006. The animation is not great at all. And the one thing that I don't like it's why, in a samurai anime, characters have guns? Also, Yui's death was so obvious. I don't really like it to be honest but I may be tryhard critic.

The first episode went hard. Could be a classic in the making.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.

Look...this is definitely not deserving the below 7 treatment, it was way too competent of a presentation for that.

Did people's taste change so much nowadays that straightforward samurai stories are a no-go?

i don't think you know the fact that Catholicism had already made its mark in Japan since the 1500s,Lol

But the design itself looks like something a modern tattoo artist would do so that's what's really throwing me off

I don't know what throws you off from that,but I'd say it's depends on the person who got it, although the tattoo might be a bit different from the actual one,it still has it's close resemblance

decent fight animation, and 2d horses for once.
That's some creative tho brutal weapons. Gold leaf such a classy one & such a waste tho.
Souji basically shuriken but with karuta cards.
Kid looks zombish like Rita, rare fishing line & kite weapon. Think last time we had fishing hero in Shieldbro.
oof Raizou is suffering, rather fast paced already finished with his revenge.

Firearms did exist in Japan's history and judging by how Revenger takes place in the Edo period (mid or late IDK), it wasn't uncommon to see guns though I'm not sure which people got them or how regulated they were at the time.

Well, official site says androgynous boy. Though I don't feel like Nio is a trap, since he gives off a more boyish impression than a girl.

my thoughts exactly. The characters were well written for a pilot, the pacing was mostly smooth and the plot was intriguing despite being predictable. Considering the average isekai recycle show gets 6.5-6.8 a season, Revenger deserves a LOT more respect.
