Hakuouki Review

With my usual routine, I like to release at least one review or post in general every month. For this month I will review an anime I watched called Hakuouki. Hakuouki is a reverse-harem, historical fantasy anime with 4 seasons, 6 OVA's and 2 films. I thought this was a pretty good anime even though it can get kind of confusing at times but was overall a good series for those who like action and romance.


Summary
In 1864 Japan, Chizuru Yukimura is searching for her father, Koudou, a doctor. After not hearing from him in months, she disguises herself as a man and heads to Kyoto to search for him. Attracting the attention of Ronin, she witnesses the Ronin being murdered by crazed white-haired men. In a turn of evens, members of the Shinsengumi arrive to dispatch the creatures. The group of men then take her back to their headquarters. She reveals the name of her father, the Shinsengumi decide to keep her safe, as they have also been searching for him. Chizuru finds herself embroiled in a conflict between the Shinsengumi and their enemies, as wells as tensions in Kyoto.


My Thoughts
Like I said I thought Hakuouki was a pretty good anime series. It had a good mix of action, romance, and samurai. The series can get confusing as there is a prequel series and 2 movies that run parallel to the store. It was a exciting series to watch and good for those who like samurai and action.


My Conclusion
I would give Hakuouki 4/5 stars or an 8/10 score. While it can get confusing it was an exciting anime to watch and it was hard not to watch. I recommend this series if you're a fan of action, romance, or samurai.
