Introduction
After a blinding light emanates from her phone, soft-spoken Yuzuki is suddenly transported to an alternate world known as Shinga. The strange place resembles the Sengoku period—a turbulent time in Japanese history known for long civil wars that ravaged the country.
Here, the Gekkazoku, tribes of non-human creatures like vampires and werewolves, live in harmony with humans. This harmony was maintained under the governance of Himemiko, a woman with the power to protect Shinga. However, due to her mysterious disappearance, the world has fallen into disarray. Now, Yuzuki must find Himemiko in order to go back home; but, the ongoing feud between the warlords only impedes her progress.

RESOLVING_POWER
I watched Sengoku Night Blood. Here are my thoughts:
This is first and foremost a reverse-harem show (it's an otome-game adaptation). If that doesn't appeal to you then you shouldn't watch this. If you don't want to be surrounded by hot vampire werewolf warrior men in a historical Japan setting, then this is not the anime for you.
Unfortunately I think the premise of this show is not used to its full potential; the supernatural elements of the story aren't really explored at all, even though they are what makes the show most unique – definitely a missed opportunity there. Instead, much of the dialogue revolves around the military conflicts between various factions, which sounds like it might be interesting but the execution is underwhelming.
I found the story difficult to follow; a ton…

This story has a lot of potentials, but they tried to keep the MC in a neutral route leading to the love interest to be pretty much all over the place and unclear. I believe if they would have stuck to one route it would have been way better.
That said I understand it was based on a visual novel, and keeping to this route show's a little of everything it has to offer. However, because of this choice, the storyline took quite a hit.
All in all, I still enjoyed the show. some situation are a bit unclear but you can easily catch on afterward.
I also noticed that in the last two episodes we had quite the recap which i didn't truly need when binge-watching.

I already have a bias because I despise passive, weak main characters. But, Yuzuki goes far beyond passive and weak. She's utterly useless. Honestly she's like a little toddler wondering around, although toddler's probably remember that you shouldn't just willingly follow any and everyone that tells you to so basically she's below that. He lines are a drag and her personality is as flat as there comes. What a boring show and complete and utter waste of my time.
Honestly even if you're bored out of your mind there's a million other things I'd recommend doing rather than watching this disgrace of a show.

Keep in mind, this is based on an otome game. The story and characters are pulled from that. In the game, each army is designed by a different illustrator and you can sort of see that in the character design but the images in the game are BEAUTIFUL. The images in the anime...well, the animation really failed this one, even if I was entertained by the show.
The first few episodes have horrible lighting issues but seem to even out a bit after about episode three. Sadly, overall the animation is poor. Characters are often distorted and what could have been epic fight scenes were mostly stills with shakey camera tricks or 80's style lasers for sword cuts. It was.....beyond bad. Also very disappointing. While I was watching I couldn't help but think about how better the animation could have be…

This is a very mediocre anime
Its not good but not a total flop well to me at least. there were moments where they tried to involve you into the story, the setting, the somewhat "epic" battlefield between the warlords and well zombie-like monsters but the way they presented it was really boring.
None of the characters were really memorable at all, heck even after forcing myself through the anime i can barely remember 1 or 2 characters and the only reason i can remember the mc's name is because they wouldn't shut up about her. Sure i get that she is the mc and all but she took up so much screen time that the other boys barely have any character development at all, even when they do get their screen time, most of it felt boring. Another thing is that everytime the mc take the stage, she i…

I wasn't sure what to think of this series going through it, definitely has a reverse harem feel to it, and probably more for those that like twilight or such.
Story: very forgettable, you have the main char a woman trapped in a alternative time period when Oda Nobunaga was conquering, and it just...doesn't seem to go anywhere, there are zombie like things that attack, but they are barley addressed till the end, Most of the series is just the main char tossed from one army to the next as everyone falls in love with her and she's treated as property.
Art: it's passable, don't really remember much memorable, the action seems are mostly forgettable other then a few okay moments at the end.
Characters: Not much here, you have werewolves, vampires and such, but mostly in name only, most of t…

The only thing I *kind of* liked about this anime is the opening theme song and possibly some of the voice actors (i dont blame the seiyus for their awful lines). That's it. The rest are all poorly, if not dreadfully executed.
I stick with the series because of the Sengoku theme but there have been a few times that I wanted to just drop this show altogether as it was ultimately lazy and boring so to speak.
As usual it starts with the reverse harem theme: Ordinary girl gets transported to another world where its mostly dominated by guys and they all swoon over her for no reason. As a reverse harem fan like me, I don't mind if the heroine is a little useless, annoying as they seem, I usually give them the benefit of the doubt and wait till they reveal their redeeming qualities that makes t…
