Loved it one of many that I have watch MULTIPLE times. I understand that it may not be liked by everyone the story is Great may be hard to follow each fight tells part of the story.
and ultimately has a message in the end I gave 10 because I think that many people have under rated it.
I even have the complete manga set. I would recommend watching it to the end and keep in mind that yes it somewhat repeats it self. But in all fairness so doe the Walking Dead and alot of people love that as well. Like with many anime I have watched it was a shame to see it come to an end.

To be honest, the plot of this anime has never really stuck with me. It was okay, though not super fleshed out. I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it. I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities and that the main character's story arc had so much more potential. It started out a lot like Kenshin and I couldn't get past that for the first couple episodes. Once I did, I had some fun with it.. but then the story became unbelievable angsty and took a real unexpected turn. After that, I had to force myself to finish it just to see what happened/because I am a completionist.
If you like historical anime then I would definitely give this anime a shot. It has good music, and the characters are good.
My rating would have been lower honestly, but what makes this anime absolutely AM…

GARBAGE. The fight scene are repetitive and kyou has almost never lost a fight. Kyoshiro isnt even the MC its kyou. Kyoshiro is a WAYYYYYYYYYY BETTER character than kyou. Yuya , falls for kyou, despite him being an asshole op who doesnt deserve shit. Whilst kyoshiro (original mc) iv abandoned for half the manga and and is shit on. POOR BEsT BOI. Yuya is a hoe who secretly likes kyou grabbing her boobs and ass and only follows him to get that kyou dick. Back to the fight scenes here is the formula
same old attacks> kyou is almost losing and still is cocky> kyou wins
btw kyou is FUCKING UGLY.

When we are talking about action anime, one of the biggest factors that we must consider would be how entertaining the fights would be. For the most part, a good action anime would have engaging battle scenes that would keep its viewers hooked.
Which is where Samurai Deeper Kyou failed miserably, for the most part, the "animation" is totally absent. I would go as far as state that this show is merely a colored picture slide show of the manga. Often times, battles would be settled through a series of panned and zoomed images, or reused animations, most evidently when Kyou unleashes his ultimate attack almost every time to secure his victory.
The next thing we need to factor in would be the abilities the characters have to make a good action anime. Samurai Deeper Kyou has more magical ele…

Samurai Deeper Kyo is a rather obscure (thank God) shounen anime from Studio Deen based on a long running manga which is apparently a lot better but I have not read it. Now that we have that out of the way, what did I think of it? It SUCKED! I really forced myself through it and actually considered dropping it. Why did I dislike this anime? Well, that's the purpose of this review.
The story for this anime starts off rather solid albeit a bit cliched. With it's fugitive goofball setup it felt reminiscent of Kenshin and Trigun. I was actually rather enjoying watching the humorous character interactions and fun setup. Then about halfway through, something happened. The show decided to stop being fun and started being repetitive. And when I say repetitive, I mean REPETITIVE.
I mean seriousl…

I believe that this anime has a lot of potential to be great but unfortunatly it is not implemented very well, I have not read the manga but I hear good things about it, as for this anime it lacks everything that would make it as great as the current Shounen animes. The manga speaks well of it's greatness as the manga did span 38 volumes. But these key points stop it from being great, I will address them by category and then the positives and negatives.
Story - The whole edo period storylines have been done numerously in the past but just because their are a lot of them does not make them bad, but does leave a familiar taste in your mouth after watching it as like you've seen something similar to this before. I like how they add names from History but I've seen it too much before and it w…

Samurai kyo was one of the first dozen anime i watched and i really couldn't decide how i felt about it. The concept seemed very simple but then they introduced the demon lord nobunaga which kinda came at me from nowhere.
When i first read the little synopsis about samurai deeper kyo i thought it would focus more on his dual personality's over a arch villain type story structure. I pictured it as more a focus on character development and less about defeating the super evil that's being revived. I am not entirely disappointed in what they did with it but it just wasn't what i had hoped for.
The show has relativity small character development and the art is not all so grand. The sound and even the voice actors were not so great, not bad just ok more or less. The best part of this show was…

The storyline was really good but the anime execution was not what it could have been. It felt very (for lack of a better word) choppy. Kind of like cut here and paste there. It was a pleasant to watch though

what a crappy anime this is.the plot is incoherent with no kind of flow or smooth transition between scenes,the characters are at one location and suddenly end up elsewhere .There is an endless introduction of characters with little or any background explanation.the characters are also either lame are just too weird to enjoy.but surely being a samurai anime the action has to be good right ? wrong,i didnt think you could have bad fights scene in samurai anime but man the action is so lame,firstly it took me until episode 5 to see any blood,the fights are mostly staged,you only see a black screen then slashes then the bad guys die,or the main character kyo says some lame line then the bad guys die.There is no kind of passion in the fights,no great technique or interesting villain.In the end…

I read the manga first. The manga is wonderful. The anime just sucks compares to the manga. The anime skips tons of fights, tons of characters are missing. The story line is changed at the end.
If you want to enjoy this show then watch it before you read the manga. If you do watch this show plz read the manga.

Okay I originally started out by reading for the manga for this and i was like wow this is fantastic I would love to see an anime for this. Little did I know they had one and i was really excited if it followed the manga it would make for a fantastic anime so I go and start to watch it and this is the a compassion of disappoint by now most people have watched or heard about dragon ball evolution well that's how this show was for me I went in expecting that they'd do it good and came out with an angered and confused face why goku did you jump after using kamehameha wave why. Now taking the work as it's own separate piece not relating to the manga then it's actually pretty decent but after seeing the manga then this it made me so disappointed.

Samurai Deeper Kyo was one of the first anime I saw (after The Guyver and Perfect Blue – an interesting selection). It is the tale of the ‘strongest samurai alive’, a bloodthirsty monster called Demon Eyes Kyo, also known as the Slayer of 1000 Men, and his search for the only thing in the world that is important to him.
For the first few episodes, Samurai Deeper Kyo seems quite formulaic. Kyo establishes himself as a badass who can crush all opposition while sneering disdainfully, and combat consists largely of exchanges of flashy-looking quasi-magic power attacks. So far, so shounen. There are some un-shounen elements even at this early stage, though – if you’re paying attention. I didn’t notice until maybe my third or fourth viewing just how short the battles tend to be. This could eas…

This Anime byfar has one of the best story line characters and plot to it

I have to say, when I started this anime, I expected a lot more from it. The storyline had a lot of potential that was never brought to fruition. The animation was definitely not the best I have seen and by the end of the series I was so bored and disappointed that I was questioning why I bought the series in the first place. Samurai Deeper Kyo is one of those animes that you continue to watch, hoping that it will get better. Unfortunately, it never does. I would not recommend this series to anyone who is looking for meaningful dialog or a compelling story to follow. Throughout all 26 episodes I just couldn't get myself to identify or sympathize with any of the characters. For those interested in an anime based around Samurai, I would recommend staying clear of Samurai Deeper Kyo and going…

Samurai Deeper Kyo has an unique and bizarre take on edo history, and the battles between samurai. The story has its twists, but when you think that the 'last boss' is defeated, more villians pop up. At first sight, the anime seemed like a fun hilarious anime with kyoushi junior, however when the "demon eyed kyo" takes over the anime starts in a much more serious tone, which prevails till the end.
The story centers around "demon eyed kyo", who has his soul entrapped in somebody else's body, so basically, he goes around defeating villians to get his body back. However, kyo is known as the man who killed a thousand men, the demon eyed kyo - reminds me of Kenshin and Battosai. I found the story a bit bizarre when Nobunaga Oda was introduced, and with all the messed up demons popping up.

The first review here is way too harsh. This anime is well worth a watch if your into historical/samurai stuff, it's not as dark and brooding as it sets out to be and the plot can feel a little convaluted at times but the characters are quite endearing and if you can get your head round all the different threads it's very easy to get wrapped up in the story.
I really enjoyed it and found myself watching one episode after another once I'd got past the first few, but I haven't read the manga so if you have you may be in for a bit of a disappointment.

Samurai Deeper Kyo is based of the still running manga series by the same name.
In the year 1600, during the battle of Sekigahara, warriors Kyoshiro Mibu and "Demon Eyes" Kyo - the legendary slayer of a thousand men - engaged in fierce combat. Both men disappeared when a meteor crashed in the battlegrounds. Four years later, Kyoshiro is spotted on a rural highway, acting as a traveling medicine salesman. He is captured by the female bounty hunter Yuya Shiina when she discovers that deep inside him is the dormant personality of "Demon Eyes" Kyo himself.
Now on to all the problems I had with the show. First there's the story stated above, which is just a jumble together of stories from the manga. Then there's the so called animation done by Studio Deen. Were they trying to make a crappy A…
