Synopsis

The Examurai Sengoku anime production depicts the members of the EXILE group as futuristic samurai that are transported back in time to Japan’s sengoku (warring states) period. The anime character renditions of the EXILE members were designed by manga creator Hiroshi Takahashi (Crows, Worst). (Source: AniDB)

Audience Consensus

The audience response to Examurai Sengoku is lukewarm. While the character designs, attributed to Hiroshi Takahashi, are a significant draw, the shallow story and ordinary animation prevent it from being truly exceptional. The anime primarily appeals to fans of samurai themes and Takahashi's previous works, but doesn't seem to generate strong opinions beyond that niche.

Strengths

  • Character designs are vivid and ostentatious, resembling a mix of samurai and gangster aesthetics.
  • The character designs are done by Hiroshi Takahashi (Crows/Worst).

Weaknesses

  • The story is shallow and mediocre.
  • The anime is not particularly outstanding or groundbreaking.
  • Animation is decent but ordinary.
