ToT this is a really good anime. Will, there be a season 3? , I'm still looking forward to it up until now... The anime and the fights scenes were all great itsa really an outstanding anime. I was searching in google for the season 3 but.... there's really no news TOT, shino still haven't gotten the bead from Ao so I want expecting a season 3 but I haven't found news of it.... it saddens me.... i hope there will be a season 3 or last season., don't just end it like that , there's still more antagonists to defeat etc. . If there's a season 3 i will surely watch it. Tysm for creating such a great anime

Well once again I'm here only seconds after finishing this season.
As always, I spot the anime and it takes me a long time just to start up on it, in this case, I had already watched the first episode of the first season in dubbed.
That wasn't impressive enough for me.
After a couple of years, I came back and watched the series in their native language.
Story:
This season of Hakkenden took me on another emotional ride.
To start off with, I love how Shino and Sousuke's trust in each other were put to the test and the result did not fail to surprise me. We followed the main characters around several places in the world they live in, and they helped out many people they met on their path.

Story: 7
Hakkenden season 2 continues right where season 1 left off. In this season Shino and his group continue to search for all eight of the marbles. The new character Ao becomes slightly more present in the second season, but not as much as I would have liked him to. Although I did enjoy this season, I found the second season to not be as "good" as the first season in terms of episode quality consistency. I expected the plot to be more in depth, but it felt extremely rushed. A lot of the episode were wasted on side-plots that did not relate to the original main plot. If this were a longer anime it'd be more understandable, but with only 13 epi…

After watching the last episode, I'm a little disappointed and back with an updated review.
I'm have watched the entire series including both Season 1 and 2. So I'm under that assumption you watched Season 1.
Story 8/10
First off, the first season focused on Shino, a boy who looks like he's 13 but is actually 18 because he is the holder of a living sword name Murasame, has to travel from village to village to find these beads or gems. It gets a little annoying where the story doesn't progress unless Shino goes traveling to another village or town
In the second season, the series focus a little more on the plot and detail and brings the characters together Shino met from Season 1. They do still have to go to another town or village but it was a little more in depth. One thing that appea…
