The Black Ships arrive in Kyoto as the shogunate stumbles toward ruin. Living amidst the chaos is Nio, a kindhearted boy on the verge of discovering his destiny. He meets two "Miburo," Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji, members of the band of Mibu ronin who will later become the famous Shinsengumi. With dreams of a better world, Nio joins their fight to defend the city.
The verdict
SequelsDecentWinter 2026Season 1 arrived in Fall 2024 and makes for an all-right binge. The animation is lackluster, but the story is grounded and morally complex for a shonen. The manga looks more appealing than continuing the anime, though it is probably worth it for historical drama fans.
