1. GATTAI!
   Gattai is Japanese for combine or something. Who knows or who cares. Just know when you hear it that some robots are going to crash into one another and it’s going to be awesome.
2. PUT YOUR GUNS ON!
   As with any anime whenever a new phrase is introduced it’s always on top of your mind. Sengoku Basara gives us this amazing phrase.
3. ARE YOUUU READDDYY?!
   Best said in Engrish, this one is is used a lot. Sengoku Basara again reminds us of it.
4. THIS <INSERT MANLY OBJECT OR BODY PART> IS GLOWING WITH <INSERT FORM OF AWESOME POWER>
5. <rambling> FIST <rambling>
   Anytime there is the word fist involved in a sentence it has to be good.

PUT YOUR GUNS ON

Discussion on this topics and more after the jump.When was the last time you could put your arms up in the air screaming for manly men fighting one another in an animated cartoon about burning auras and screaming?! WELL GUESS WHAT! You could probably say Gurren Lagann or you can watch Sengoku Basara and bask in the glow that is amazingness.

Let’s get started with the obvious. It opens up screaming PUT YOUR GUNS ON. ARE YOU READY GUYS?!?! JESUS

WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?

As you can see in the gallery using some crappy WP Plugin for Lightbox that I’ll end up replacing this is an anime about BURNING SPIRIT AND PASSION. Glorious burningness.

If you haven’t played the game the anime is pretty much the same. If you liked one you’ll like them all.

Anyway it’s about Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimara having too much burning passion and a massive need to fight one another in the Sengoku period or basically when Japan was a ton of small countries ran by warlords and general and Oda came in and united Japan and all of that stuff.

The story is stupid which is how it should be. If you watch the first episode and pay attention you’ll pick up a lot of what will happen in the future of the series so it’s important to look at what all of the generals are doing and how their attitudes out.

Anyway for a first episode it was absolutely amazing. There isn’t much more to say other than.

PUT YOUR GUNS ON
More on Sengoku Basara soon.

Sengoku Basara may be the best show since Code Geass and Gurren Lagann. My soul still shakes with the great power presented within this glorious anime.

Full reviews, coverage, etc. coming soon.
