Brave 10 is based on a manga which is loosely based on the Sengoku period. One of the various fables of that era was the Sanada Ten, a team of powerful warriors who were formed by Sanada Yukimura in his efforts to rule supreme. The premise is the formation of the team and is shown primarily through the eyes of Saizo.
I can’t say the setting and the premise are that interesting. They are in fact quite basic so far and there have been several other stories based on the same period and people. The most famous example is Naruto but the relations don’t go further than some names as well as both shows being equally gay. Samurai Deeper Kyo (SDK) is another case, this one even centered on the exact same events and characters. The anime adaptation sucked ass but the manga was amazingly GAR to the…

This is a bad anime,but enjoyable nonetheless.
The story, although mixed with a lot of history, is very poor. The first episode was nice, but then Saizou changed. There were one or two characters I liked. Honestly I expected much more action and good fight sequences. But it seemed as if the fights were mediocre and were there just to help move the story along.
A tad too much of twists, with the plot already being convoluted as it is. The animation was good though, and was quite colourful.
The climax was meh and the ending was weak and confusing as well. If you're going for story along, I'd say don't. But if you just want an enjoyable anime with some funny moments, this is fine.

STORY:
Brave 10 is too concerned with looking cool than telling a decent story. I understand this is derived from a manga franchise, but as a standalone, it's lacking. First, I don't understand any of the characters because they are so flat. Saizou is the typical angsty, loner archetype while Isanami is the perky, clingy priestess girl. Cool. Let's actually build on that and not leave them flatter than a steamrolled pancake. I will give some slack because it’s probably hard to convey characters well in twelve episodes.
I did like the actual significance of the Brave 10 a lot. It would have been too easy to assign cliché roles to the characters. Ah, but darkness is not who you think it is. *wink*
CHARACTERS:
The way this show goes about introducing characters leaves a lot to be desired.…

Brave 10 is a decent anime.
PROS:
- Outstanding storyline: I don't know about you, but, to me, the story of a merciless ninja who escorts a priestess who has a rune that can annihilate anything around feudal Japan is awesome. The story is one of the main factors that kept me watching the anime;
- Great art: Personally, I consider the art can decide whether an anime is great or not. Fortunately, the art of this anime is great;
- Exciting action scenes: Looking for a action-filled anime? Brave 10 is for you! There is at least one tense fight or chasing scene in each episode that is guaranteed to keep you watching. The even better part is that the gore is not exaggerated, so you can say the fights are somewhat realistic.
Now, let's pass to the more unfortunate parts of the anime:
CONS:…

Another series concerning the edo era of Japan with notable historical figures like Tokugawa, Masamune, Yukimura, Mitsunari, and so on...
It is hard to follow though when you are used to the story from sengoku basara but I just followed its story line as episode go by.
The fight scenes are ninja type unlike Basara and not much of the lords clash with each other. Subordinates! FIGHT-O!
One thing why I didnt give the story a larger rate is due to the ending. It feels like they were in a hurry and cramped it all on the last episode plus that the main character had all the sole epic role of saving the world. Maybe cause I expected that it will be a team work type...but the other protagonist also did well, just saying.. haha..
In a way,it feels like it ended like soul eater to me. the series e…

Brave 10 is just one of those anime that I feel has great potential, but it's sadly wasted.
The story revolves around our main protagonist and the useless girl he saves from danger. The girl is some sort of priestess that possesses great power, but it is only hinted at the entire time, and finally revealed in the most anticlimactic scene at the end of the show.
The whole point is that whoever controls this power controls the world, so you already know that people will come after her, so to protect her, 10 "brave" warriors that represent the elements have to be found and persuaded to form a team.
The characters aren't anything special, each one has a specific skill and they all vary in shape and size. The only interesting character is the protagonist, which receives almost no character deve…

Story is set in feudal japan where everyone carries swords and is a ninja/samurai...or trying to be one...or is the lord who controls them. (I am trying to describe this anime without any spoilers)
Its funny, superficial but for a short series it is good enough esp since most of the episode time is spent in fights( again short in duration but entertaining none-the-less)
The characters are just outlined.. you mostly dont understand their actions/or their motivations. Shallow characters with comic potential.
Everyone wants to obtain the power Isnami possess...and you want to ask her..why are you so stupid? and also Love at first sight?!...really??!!*face-palms*
Overall I rather enjoyed the anime and watched all the episodes in one weekend.

I was honestly excited when reading about this feudal-timed Anime, hoping it would star many of those Sengoku Heroes that are often praised in games like Samurai Warriors. Unfortunately in the kind you see in Brave 10, it doesnt do a very good job.
Hello, My Name is Ryoki and Welcome to my review of the Anime Brave 10. The review contains spoilers. If you dont like spoilers at all, please scroll away.
The scenery is settled in feudal japan, those of you who play or remember playing samurai warriors may be a little bit more familiar with this times. The anime practically throws you into an burning temple where you see a blue haired woman and a priest escape, then as they were stopped and attacked by the enemy - the priest then lets her escape once more through a trapdoor. This was a littl…

Now, a certain group of fans really dislike how this anime is set in the same era [although Naruto is not set in the Sengoku era] and same genre as Naruto[ninja], but really, that is stupid reason to dislike this anime. Especially if you have not seen it yet.
At first I was not sure if this anime was worth my time because of the negative reviews, but it seemed interesting and I thought it would good so I gave it a go.
The animation is good and the characters are one of the best things about the anime. Sure it has ninjas, samurais, assassins and the "substitute jutsu" in it, but it should not be a reason to compare Naruto with this Anime. Those are not something that are uniquely created but rather some ancient myth in Japan.
So overall, yes, this anime is worth a try. If you want someth…

The first half of the show was very sweet, enjoyable and promising. It was surprisingly romantic and I very much enjoyed the chemistry between the two leads. In the show's second half, more and more supporting characters got crowded in, the main couple's focus became fuzzy and the story started to drift around and lose its purpose and became less interesting.
Looking back on the show as a whole there was a story they wanted to convey and I can understand it and its emotional core, but it's too bad the later episodes weren't written as well as the foremost.
I love the main couple's art and design, animation started out good bet went downhill later.

I haven't written all that many reviews before, so I will make this short and simple.
Feudal Japan, assassins and ninja's all over the place, nothing groundbreaking there.
Ninja meets random girl, girl ask for protection. They meet other assassins and ninja's along the way, things happening, people fight(obviously).
The story itself seemed to have some potential throughout the first episode at least, but then I just felt like everything was going downhill.
Personally, I don't feel like the creators put much work into the story at all, as everything feels like something they had to rush through in order to make it into the 12 episodes now available.
Art: It's a style I don't really mind, it's smooth and well made.
Sound: same. As long as you find a decent version either online or through…

I am not afraid to say that I really liked this series even though i could literally point out things that are wrong with it all day long. It's strange when you find an anime that is lacking in the most important areas but you still enjoy it regardless. That would be Brave 10 in a nutshell.
The story is too short and underdeveloped. The artwork is good but it is nothing special. The sound wasn't bad but there was nothing special about it either. Even most of the characters were underdeveloped.
Thankfully a couple main characters were developed pretty well, and with a good mix of light comedy and decent action this really somehow worked in a weird sort of way. The characters were drowning in anime stereotypes, but the voice acting and the chemistry between the group were fun to follow. Sc…

Pleasant But Forgettable.......
Brave 10 is a somewhat comedial interpretation of the historical Sanada Ten Braves folklore. It’s not a bad anime but it’s definitely not exceptional or great for that matter. While Brave 10 might never be considered a classic, it will still manage to entertain and please the anime viewer.
Story: There’s not really much to say about the story because the story of Brave 10 is weak and follows more or less in the same footsteps of many other similar anime, rarely displaying any form of originality. It follows the typical cliché character archetypes one would expect from a shounen anime and never attempts to keep viewers inclined to watch. The story has acceptable progression and can easily be understood and followed but offers nothing different or anything a…

When I read the reviews here on MAL I pretty much skipped this anime. But after watching some samurai anime and began craving some completed anime with action, I had nowhere else to turn to except Brave 10 and man, it was my saving grace!
Brave 10 is ENTERTAINING! I believe thats what the creators intended and thats what was delivered. Just some good ol' entertainment. It was like being able to sit back on a saturday morning as a kid to watch a favorite cartoon marathon on cartoonnetwork while eating english breakfast or something.
Story.
The story is a mix of same old (i.e if you've watched a lot of anime) with new or intelligent delivery. Strong samurai meets priestess being chased and saves her from her pursuers. Priestess then grows attached to him and decides to stick to him for pr…

So I just yesterday finished watching Brave10 and my expectations were really high but did this anime were that good?
Story: It's a story about old samurai named Saizou he's samurai that don't want to serve any lords and want to just live own way. One day old guy named Yukimura offers deal that is Saizou would protect him and would be accompanying him in travels. There is also mysterious girl who is important to many people.
This story is really interesting and it also tells some old interesting facts about samurai's.
So story gets 9/10
Art: It was really great kind of samurai type art. But weapons were designed really well and special attacks were awesome. Places looked really historically old and it seemed to fit in anime. Animation was also really good and battle scenes were great.…

This anime has recivied reviews rating in all numbers. Here is what I think to be the better review to explain this. Before i get into the rating please remember this is a 12 episode anime.
Story 6
Story isn't bad, it actually is quite interesting. Nothing new but not overused. It would recive a migh higher mark if it wasen't 12 episodes long. They were trying for something great and interesting but did not have the time leaving great build up with the worst kind of ending. The kind that dosen't end. Leaving the ending aside it is very fun to watch
Art. 8
Beautful art and Beautful blood not unique but still interesting. enough said
Sound 3
Hardly any sound i think there is some at points but unlike other anime you hardly notcie it.
Character 4

If you're not liking this thing two episodes in, give it up. I say that about everything I review, but it really applies. The quality of this show is pretty consistent throughout. That goes both for how well it is made, and for the general feel of it. Either you like it or you don't.
I liked it enough to finish the whole thing. Some parts annoyed me. Much of it reminds me of older shows. In the end, I'd say it was worth seeing once.

Saizo is an assassin who runs into a young girl by the name of Isanami. Her bubbly personality along with her cute charm annoys him simply because he's always been under the impression protecting someone will weaken his fighting ability. She also annoys him by doing things like crawling in bed with him and tripping over things. This honestly would be considered an endearing part to Isanami's character if she were five to six years of age, but instead it becomes part of the annoyance that occurs to the watcher of this Anime because Isanami is actually a lot older then this, old enough to be in a romantic relationship with most of the male characters of Brave 10.
On top of this Isanami is a Mary Sue. The easiest traits that can be found are the fact she has godlike powers and the fact every…

Obviously I loved the feudal Japan background. The fights are not stretched forever, usually 1 or 2 episodes max. These are necessary to advance the story. The plot is fairly predictable and shallow: faction conspiracies, good vs evil, resolving matters by fighting your way through, brotherhood, etc.
The first episode is actually one of my favorite and I do believe the story should have followed a bit more its spirit. For instance, Saizou's skills and unwillingful attitude were worthwhile and promising but the feeling fades away as the story goes on and he gradually becomes next to useless. Basically, he's super strong against his comrades before they join in the Braves and also against the general cannon fodder type ninjas but that's another story with the enemy main characters. It's a…

Well, at first sorry about my English and if there are any mistakes.
Brave 10 is a ninja shounen anime about Sanada Yukimura and his ten heroes.
I started to watch it becouse I like shounen, but I had not any big expectatives about it.
When I watch the firsts episodies, I thought:
-This is a fucking bishounen anime, man.
-The story is pretty bad...
-Why Isanami is so stupid?
Etc. But I didn't drop it. Why? Well, I say to you: this anime is bad. But it's not boring. There are some bad animes that when you are watching and episode you are praying for the end. Not in Brave 10. That's a good point.
Story: 4
The plot is simple and the development is very bad. All the anime Saizou is kicking asses with Isanami screaming "HELP ME SAIZOU!" and criying very loudly... While this they meet new char…
