This anime is very good, it's got comedy and tragedy, string characters, a unique visual style and cool fight scenes, and... really evocative themes that I'm not totally sure what they are? It seems to be about history, and how it's formed, and about duty, and how it can be destructive. It feels like it might be critiquing both historical dramas and shonen quest arcs. There are ideas about what people are, and what swords are, and how one can be both but maybe shouldn't. It's got a lot going on!

If the Coen Brothers made an anime. Very thought provoking. Thought a lot about moral perspective. Hilarious.
