The violence really is extreme with dismemberment, eyeballs being slashed with swords (and eaten), jaws being detached from faces and characters having teeth stuck in their fists after delivering particularly hard blows to their opponents. Pretty much every character is a psychopath especially the sensei, the fight scenes are so stylish and brutal and the tone and atmosphere so thick with dread and tension that i do not blink when i watch this show.

That's the basic gist of it, i don't want to spoil anything. The story takes place in the 1600's in a dojo where the sensei is training samurai in order to choose his eventual successor and the backstabbing, murder and betrayals going on in the background. It's gruesomely violent, has very few redeemable or likeable characters, it's rapey, shockingly gory and has pretty much zero moments of humour. 8/10.īe prepared, Shigurui: Death Frenzy is not for everyone. Overall, a bizarre, gory, violent, yet somehow very good anime. The biggest bummer about the anime was that it has been 14 years since season 1 ended, so the anime ended on an unfinished cliffhanger. If you think samurai are cool, then this anime begged to differ. Some scenes had me internally screaming and cringing. However, the characters' actions were what greatly disturbed me. The main story wasn't that hard to follow, even though some transitions were too abrupt. Then, the slow music added more creepiness to the show. One has ginormous eyeballs, one has a wide mouth, one has feminine lips, etc.

All of the samurai' faces, except for Fujiki, creeped me out in different ways. During the day, everything is dreamy and bright, while at night it was ominous. However, what made the anime so disturbing was the animation and the story. It's a samurai anime, but there's a bunch of muscle flexing like Baki. There's a lot of weirdness in the anime world, and this is one of them.
