  1. Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls Retro Review@promete0sz702d

    ▶️ Watch on 3Speak

    Ninja stories have always fascinated me, I find them much more fun than the military aspects of firearms because the ninjas use a lot of fists, melee fighting making the characters more visually appealing and can exploit a whole scene of rivalry, revenge and conflict only with images plus the sound of battle and soundtrack.

    Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls is an anime of yesteryear that I recommend in this Retro Review for solidly handling the ninja aspects seasoned with a good romance, in my case it is not the romance I'm looking for but if you really like that kind of genre, in this anime you will get that, it's like a Romeo and Juliet ninja.

    As I mentioned romance is not my thing, I came for the battles and I got them, they are powerful, some fast, others of strategy and as you will see the anime is not recent and perhaps it has inspired even Ushiha eyes because just in this story are ninjas who handle techniques that are out of our reality but not as much as in other stories, the author tries to make as real as possible the execution of the battle thanks to the training and ancestral heritage of a technique.

    For those who like social-political conflicts, in this anime you will also get a bit of that which is just what gives rise to the story, you will hear a lot the term Shogun, that kind of thing I value because it is to learn the political structure of Asia for a certain age, century or era.

    A short anime of 24 episodes with three powerful ingredients that are ninja fights, romance and political conflict, in the video you will hear my opinion in all its splendor and emotion that this great anime generated in me.

    Las historias de ninjas siempre me han fascinado, me parecen mucho mas divertidas que los aspectos militares de armas de fuego porque los ninjas usan mucho los puños, la pelea cuerpo a cuerpo haciendo que los personajes sean mas vistosos visualmente y se pueda explotar toda una escena de rivalidad, venganza y conflicto solo con imágenes plus el sonido de la batalla y banda sonora.

    Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls es un anime de antaño que les recomiendo en esta Retro Review por manejar sólidamente los aspectos ninjas aderezado con un buen romance, en mi caso no es el romance lo que busco pero si te agrada mucho ese tipo de genero, en este anime conseguirás eso, es como un Romeo y Julieta ninja.

    Como mencione el romance no es lo mío, yo vine por las batallas y las conseguí, son potentes, algunas rápidas, otras de estrategia y como verán el anime no es reciente y quizá haya inspirado inclusive a los ojos Ushiha porque justo en esta historia son ninjas que manejan técnicas que se salen de nuestra realidad pero no tanto como en otras historias, el autor trata de hacer lo mas real posible la ejecución de la batalla gracias al entrenamiento y herencia ancestral de una técnica.

    Para aquellos que agradan los conflictos político-social, en este anime también conseguirás un poco de eso que es justo lo que da origen a la historia, escucharan mucho el término Shogun, ese tipo de cosas las valoro porque es aprender la estructura política de Asia para una determinada edad, siglo o era.

    Un anime corto de 24 episodios con tres ingredientes potentes que son peleas de ninjas, romance y conflicto político, en el video escucharas mi opinión en todo su esplendor y emoción que genero en mi este gran anime.

    I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.

  2. Basilisk Kouga Ninpou Chou Review@rosana6776d

    Hello, friends of The Anime Realm! I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet you again in this fascinating space dedicated to the world of anime and manga. This time I want to share with you a review of a series that I had the opportunity to watch for the first time a few years ago and that I recently watched again, since I had very good impressions and I wanted to relive the spectacular scenes and the plot that develops there. It is Basilisk Kouga Ninpou Chou, and it is worth noting that period anime, especially from the samurai era, is one of my favourites.

    ¡Hola, amigos de The Anime Realm! Me alegra tener la oportunidad de encontrarme nuevamente con ustedes en este fascinante espacio dedicado al mundo del anime y del manga. En esta oportunidad quiero compartir con ustedes una reseña sobre una serie que tuve la oportunidad de ver hace algunos años por primera vez y que últimamente volví a ver, ya que había quedado con muy buenas impresiones y quise revivir las espectaculares escenas y la trama que allí se desarrolla. Se trata de Basilisk Kouga Ninpou Chou, y cabe destacar que los animes de época, especialmente de la época de los samuráis son de mis favoritos.

    To give us an idea, this is an action genre series with strong touches of romance and tragedy, based on the manga Basilisk, The Kouga Ninja Scrolls written by Masaki Segawa and published in anime format in 2005.

    The main character, Gennosuke Kouga, is the leader of his village, and is a specialist in various ninja techniques, including the dreaded Doujutsu, which allows him to control any attack and get his enemies to hurt themselves. Let's say that Gennosuke was in charge of keeping the peace between his clan and the Iga clan, whose leader is Oboro, with whom he is deeply in love. Oboro has mastered the Eyes of Ruin technique, whereby she can nullify any technique by simply looking at her opponent.

    Para que tengamos una idea, esta es una serie de género de acción con fuertes toques de romance y tragedia, está basado el manga Basilisk, The Kouga Ninja Scrolls escrito por Masaki Segawa y publicado en formato anime en el año 2005.

    Sepamos que el protagonista, Gennosuke Kouga es el líder de su aldea, y es especialista en variadas técnicas ninja, entre las que destaca el temido Doujutsu, que le permite controlar cualquier ataque y conseguir que sus enemigos se hieran a sí mismos. Digamos que Gennosuke era el encargado de mantener la paz entre su clan y el clan Iga, cuya líder es Oboro, de quien está profundamente enamorado. Oboro por su parte domina la técnica de Los Ojos de la Ruina, mediante la cual anula cualquier técnica con tan solo mirar al adversario.

    This animation is action-packed, as is to be expected from a story that unfolds amidst clan conflicts and feuds, so we can expect incredible fights and a display of unique powers and abilities among the characters.

    Take into account that the events take place during the Tokugawa era, right at the end of Shogun Ieyasu's rule. Although they had experienced a period of tense truce, it was decreed that hostilities between the clans would resume, so that through bloody competition between the clans, they could decide who would be the next shogun, depending on which clan was victorious.

    Esta animación está llena de mucha acción, como es de esperarse de una historia que se desenvuelve en medio de conflictos y disputas entre clanes, así que podemos esperar increíbles peleas y un despliegue de poderes y habilidades únicas entre los personajes.

    Tomemos en cuenta que los acontecimientos se llevan a cabo durante la era Tokugawa, justo al final del gobierno del shogun Ieyasu. A pesar de que habían vivido un periodo de tensa tregua, fue decretada la reanudación de las hostilidades entre los clanes, para que por medio de competencias sangrientas entre ellos, pudieran dilucidar quién sería el próximo shogun, dependiendo del clan que resultara vencedor.

    Personally, one of the aspects that most caught my attention in this anime was the tragic but beautiful love story between the protagonists and leaders of the feuding families. It is wonderful to see how despite the obstacles they faced and the difficult situations they had to deal with, they never let their feelings fade away, and the emotional ending of the story is proof of that.

    This story saw the light of day on the big screen in a live action that is also highly recommended. The series also has a sequel called Basilisk Ouka Ninpou Chou based on the life of Oboro and Gennosuke's children, who inherited their powers; which received some controversy, since in the original series it was never seen, or at least not so clearly, that the couple had conceived children. Anyway, I gave it a chance and it seemed like more of the same in relation to Kouga Ninpou Chou.

    The music chosen for this anime is simply sensational, starting with Kouga Ninpouchou by the heavy metal band Onmyouza and ending with the beautiful ballad Hime Murasaki by singer and seiyu Nana Mizuki. I hope you will be encouraged to watch this anime, which is loaded with a lot of action and emotion.

    En lo personal uno de los aspectos que más me llamó la atención de este anime fue la trágica pero hermosa historia de amor entre los protagonistas y líderes de las familias en disputa. Es maravilloso ver cómo a pesar de los obstáculos que enfrentaban y lo difícil de su situaciones que les tocaba sortear, ellos jamás dejaron que sus sentimientos se desvanecieran, y el emotivo final de la historia es prueba de ello.

    Esta historia vio luz en la gran pantalla con un live action que también es muy recomendable. Del mismo modo la serie cuenta con una secuela llamada Basilisk Ouka Ninpou Chou basada en la vida de los hijos de Oboro y Gennosuke, quienes heredaron su poderes; la cual recibió cierta polémica, puesto que en la serie original nunca se llegó a ver, o al menos no tan claramente, que la pareja hubiera concebido hijos. En todo caso le di una oportunidad y me pareció más de lo mismo en relación con Kouga Ninpou Chou.

    La música escogida para este anime es simplemente sensacional, iniciando con Kouga Ninpouchou de la banda de heavy metal Onmyouza y finalizando con la hermosa balada Hime Murasaki de la cantante y seiyu Nana Mizuki. Espero que se animen a ver este anime, que viene cargado de mucha acción y emotividad.

  3. Basilisk Ouka Ninpouchou Review@osakaghoul2254d

    ▶️ Watch on 3Speak


    Time for some good anime stuff again. I finally decided to wrap up this series which i did start back in release of 2018 and maybe watched 7 episodes and afterwards decided to drop it. This is a sequel series to the original basilisk, which could be considered a great action masterpiece, you don't need to watch it, but if you are deciding between the two, watch the original since its lot better.

    It has been 10 years since the war between the Iga and Kouga ninja clans came to an end. The two groups have since made peace, supposedly dispelling the animosity that once existed between them. Hachirou Kouga and Hibiki Iga, the successors of their respective bloodlines, seem to have the perfect conditions for their love to bloom, but not everyone is satisfied with the results of the age-old battle.

  4. Basilisk. Y Romeo y Julieta!@anderson692617d

    "Juraron odiarse, sus cadáveres se pudrieron en la llanura con sus almas manchadas de sangre. La espada rompió para siempre las cadenas; perdidos en la oscuridad sus almas lloran. Aquellos que aman morirán, aquellos que aman morirán."

    Basilisk

    Saludos amigos de Steemit!!

    Y volvemos, después de tiempo a comentar sobre los animes y hoy es el turno de Basilisk. Si eres de los seguidores de obras históricas, de ficción, de luchas de ninjas o sumurais y con esto violencia sin censura; pues esta producción es para ti, y si no igual te recomiendo verla, pues hasta hay tiempo para el amor y la tragedia.

    Contexto Histórico

    Fuente

    La trama del anime, se centra en el Japón de inicios de la nueva era Tokugawa. El proceso de reunificación que se llevo a cabo en el S. XVI, dio como resultado, entre tantas idas y venidas la victoria de Ieyasu Tokugawa. Ahora bien, este gobernó con mano de hierro la nueva era impuesta por él, y tras dejar el poder a su hijo Hidetada siguió teniendo mucha influencia en el gobierno. Es así, que en e año 1614, próximo ya a que Hidetada deje el trono, Ieyasu ve la inestabilidad de la corte pues la sucesión al trono se divide en dos bandos.

    Y es así, que maquina un plan para elegir al sucesor sin derramar la sangre de los samurais.

    Fuente

    Argumento

    Los clanes ninja, Iga y Kouga, son citados al palacio de Ieyasu Tokugawa, supuestamente para una exhibición de artes marciales. En presencia de Ieyasu y Hattori Hanzo (Danjo, gobernante de la región en que habitan los Kouga y los Iga), los ninjas exponen sus habilidades uno contra el otro; mientras que los observadores quedan sorprendidos por las sorprendentes técnicas y fuerzas que cada representante de cada clan posee. Y es aquí, en que Ieyasu confirma su plan, pues es mejor hacer que se maten entre ellos (los ninjas) ya que en el futuro, con tales destrezas podrían ser una amenaza.

    Y sin contemplaciones, Ieyasu les ofrece representar cada clan a cada uno de los hijos de Hidetada, próximo a dejar el trono, y luchar hasta la muerte. Así mismo, cada clan deberá escoger a 10 de sus mejores ninjas y quienes ganen recibirán beneficios por mil años. Ahora bien, es así que se rompe el pacto de no agresión, pues estos clanes han estado en guerra por siglos por un odio viral entre ellos, habiendo hallado la tregua años atrás con Hattori Hanzo I.

    Y es así, como inicia la ultima batalla de estos clanes, dado que no perderán la oportunidad de hacer valer el odio guardado por buen tiempo desde la paz. Deberán avisar a sus clanes y encontrar a sus enemigos, y del clan que quede en pie saldrá el futuro Shogun.

    Pd.: Dejo un el vídeo en la que se muestra una pequeña parte de la pelea de exhibición (libre de spoiler). Batallas, técnicas, engaños, muertes, amor y odio; todo sin censura. No pierdan la oportunidad de ver este interesante anime, pues solo consta de 24 capítulos, suficientes para demostrarnos lo genial de esta producción.

    Saludos y gracias.

  5. Anime Review: Basilisk@thatanimesnob2995d

    Although Basilisk is essentially Romeo and Juliet with Ninjas, it becomes more like yet another example of why death games are bullshit, unless they are called Battle Royale. The inherent problem they have is that they are never about the story or the characters; it’s about seeing people die and, supposed, feeling sad about them. Only thing, you can’t feel sad about them because they die too quickly, too close to each other, and you already know that they will die at some point, so who gives a shit? It ends up becoming more like a game where you are cynically trying to guess who will die next. And even that becomes boring after awhile because as the contestants lower in numbers, it becomes easier to guess right, while at the same time, more apparent to tell who is clearly better than the rest or more favored by the story writer and is going to win at the end.

    Battle Royale is a very old manga by now, and yet nobody figured out all these years that it works so well, despite suffering from the same issues, because its contestants have no superpowers. They had talents which, to the most part, where within the realm of reason, and felt very plausible. Said talents were not giving them that much of a head start over everyone else, and were still things everybody knew they possessed right away. All other death games fail because they try to throw in so much supernatural nonsense, that it becomes impossible to take the whole thing seriously, or at least be made to think it makes sense or matters in the longrun. No sir, one can teleport, one can fly, one is immortal, and nobody knows the other guy’s powers until he is about to die. Although keeping your powers secret is fun, if keeping them hidden is the only thing that makes them work, renders pointless the kind of power you have in the first place. It doesn’t matter what strategy you use to exploit the other guy’s weaknesses, it only matters if you keep it a secret. So what’s the point of having crazy powers? You can have something as simple as a hidden dagger in your sleeve, and it wouldn’t make any difference next to a guy who shoots lasers from his eyes.

    Not only Basilisk made that grave mistake, it also made it worse by having characters that look like monsters. Despite being a colorful bunch, the series revolves around just 3 of them; the main romantic couple and the imba immortal. They are the only ones you care for, not only because they matter to the plot but also because they look normal. The rest of them either are useless cannon fodder, or look like ugly mutants, accompanied by a silly voice and some really crazy ninja power. You cannot see them as people with some sort of drama surrounding them; you see them as Pokemons. Oh look, it’s the scaly guy who turns to water, and the bald guy who can walk through walls. It makes the whole thing seem like a silly kaiju movie from the 60s.

    Even if you try to watch the anime as a spectacle full of action and gore, Basilisk is still pretty bad but not because of pretty colors and nice sounds. Visually and acoustically the series is quite good, with detailed characters designs, magnificent sceneries, moody music score, and interesting battle choreography. What ruins it, is the two ninja clans that are fighting each other to the death, not being balanced at all. They keep saying that they have equal chances of winning, and yet you constantly see the Kouga being obviously stronger and smarter than the Iga.

    1. The Kouga lost half their people because the Iga kept the order of annihilation hidden for several episodes. As soon as the Kouga found out about it, they even the score, despite being outnumbered and unprepared.

    2. The Iga were not wiped out right away, only because one of them is immortal. Half of the Kouga were killed only because they could not kill this guy no matter how powerful they were.

    3. Two of the Kouga can kill anyone they want by simply looking at him. No Iga had the slightest chance against that.

    4. The leader of the Iga is a crybaby who refused to do the slightest thing until the final episode. The leader of the Kouga is a badass who kicks ass right away.

    You know which team is going to win right away. And no, death games are not meant to be fair, or to have only balanced participants. It’s just that there is no challenge if it’s so obviously one-sided. And yes, there are many cases when the weaker guy wins, and it’s always because he kept his power a secret, or back stabbed a completely unsuspected opponent. It’s not a worthy victory, you cannot cheer for him, because he didn’t deserve to win. Not to mention how pretty much everybody in this show dies in a miserable way. There is no catharsis, they just die and kiss personal goals goodbye. And I am not saying that everyone deserves a heroic death, but it really makes the viewer not give a shit if the whole series is a monument of unfairness, based on imbalanced power levels which eventually mean nothing and overshadow any attempt at drama.

    And wait, it gets even worse. Eventually you realize that none of them have control over their actions. They are all peons, controlled by the nobles. They never chose to fight each other, they were ordered to. Yeah, they did hate each other but they never took an initiative; they were always waiting for orders. And if you think that makes them noble because they were loyal to their masters, that assumption crumbles as soon as you see how they try to kill their opponents by cheating. As for their masters, it’s not like they are better either. Aside from being nothing but an excuse for the whole extermination to happen, they don’t even care about their ninjas. In fact, the real reason they want the two clans to fight each other, is so they can exterminate both, as means to not be a problems in the future. Meaning, there was never supposed to be a winner in this stupid war; they were all meant to die at the end. So why were we even watching this show? To watch mindless drones killing each other because nobody wants them? What is the point of all this?

    Even the show becomes worse as it goes on. The pacing slows down more and more, because the amount of people left alive become smaller as time goes by. It was fun at first because of the variety and the mystery surrounding their powers, but then you get to see less and less things, about less and less people, you already know everything about. Even the ending is a mess. You don’t really understand what exactly happened. All three remaining warriors were so hax (and so painfully obvious they would be the ones in the finale) that it’s hard to figure out how their powers worked against each other. And it’s not like it matter much either, since by now you feel like shit because you know you are watching people die because they are supposed to.

    It’s so easy to figure out a way for how all this mess could have worked much better. If we had the stupid Iga being wiped out in a few episodes by the superior Kuga, and if our two lovebirds had run away from all this mess, we would have an actually good story going on, where they are chased by the Kouga, who are still supposed to be annihilated by the shogunate. It would still leave the show as a death game, while spicing things a lot, even after most of them would be dead. But nope, instead of this obviously better story I came up with in 5 seconds, all we got was a lukewarm death game, with Pokemon ninjas, unfair battles, and a boring finale. As expected from GONZO, the studio that can get the most brilliant premise and make nothing but a mediocrity out of it.

  6. Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou@michelsantino3045d

    Basilisk_.Ouka.Ninpouchou.600.2218515.jpg

    A new entry from my supposedly short listed favorite genres.

    Just stumbled on it actually,

    And I've been able to watch episode 1.

    It has a samurai/ninja/sorcery kinda feel to it.

    Most pilots are usually heated up from the very beginning,

    But this tends to go otherwise.

    A little action was packed in too.

    I'm definitely loving this already.

    Where are all my anime fans?

    What did y'all think after watching this?
