a young ninja named Saizou was seeking out the meaning and direction of his life when he encountered Isanami, a miko assaulted by assassins. he saved her and escorted her to her destination by being her temporary bodyguard. when they arrived at a protected territory of Sanada, he met with Sasuke, leader of a famous ninja group. Sanada had be gathering 10 warriors known as the Brave 10, who they believed to have the power to change history. as they continued to gather the members, Isanami's mysterious power awakened.
the historical background of the anime was sophisticated. fights were usually stretched from 1 to 2 episodes, though necessary to elaborate on its story. the plot was fairly predictable, storyline not entirely in depth. the first episode were the whole anime's strongest point, where Saizou and his skills and attitude being captivating and promising. unfortunately the focus slowly faded away and gradually he became an uninteresting character. time were spent so much on introducing each of the 10 characters, making it long-winded if not seemingly unimportant.
some background on the anime:
- episodes: 12
