My Review:
A friend recommend this one to me. He said, "do you want to see a romeo and juliet anime that surpass naruto fighting scene?" of course i replied yes..
well the story is really good. i thought it somehow a copy like anime. but its really has its own originality, 2 lovers trap in the war between their clan, a ninja clan perse. and dont forget the ecchi part. The Animation is quite good. fighting scene are and their abilities are being focus.
Characters are all strong, genouske and oborro. The characters also have their own personality and appearance that really suite their abilities.
The music is nice, specially the opening theme.
Over all i recommend this anime but not for the minors, because of the ecchi part (slight) a must see anime for people who love historical genre and ninja plotline.
