There's a story going on in the background, namely; The family of the main character got killed and he's out for revenge, sort of, he doesn't want to kill, yet, he want's to kill the guy who did it. Besides that, story's go from episode to episode, which are all just as unintresting as a shaved armpit.
The art's good, there's some major quality loss in good animated scene's, or just scenes which are done too quick (I presume). The sound's good, at first, you can hear the voice-actors struggle a lot to do a good job, but after the first 2 episode's they got used to it. The animation's nothing special, a lot of looping and slow/bad animation, while some scene's have incredible animation (for that time), but in those scene's the artstyle changed or got bad.
There are some intresting characters, which we know nothing about, we get some unnecessary flashbacks and quote's, relations that don't matter etc. They don't have deep backgrounds, the only thing intresting about them is probably your very own thought about them, and the way they look.
There's not much enjoyment, unless you don't care about a story or good quality. It's just an anime if you need a quick fix, or if your really into samurai series with a small twist too it.
And that brings the total score to exact: 5
