I caught the raw of this earlier today, expecting another crazy adaption of the equally crazy video games. But . . . well, "holy shit" is the best way to summarize it. It's easily the best opening episode of anything currently airing this season, and rather than just being flashy battles used for humor I actually got hit right in the feels. Why? Because to open up the story of Sekigahara, they chose the most obvious starting point they could.

The final battle of the Toyotomi army.

This covers what caused Ieyasu's to leave the ranks and everything that would lead he and Mitsunari to become the leaders that would bring about something as devastating as what Sekigahara will prove to be. Oh, there will still be a fair share of humor. There has to be, as Hideaki and Tsuruhime will be important enough to get title shots in the opening, and Yukimura still exists. But when they let you know they're taking a darker road than the previous adaptions, they hit really fucking hard to get that point across. Mitsunari's grief is not getting handwaved here.

What was the movie even about? I saw it but I forget, but nothing important must have happened.

But jesus this shit moves around a lot, but that's what happens when you've got five million characters. Always liked Mitsunari in this though, so looking forward to him getting more focus. Also Sayaka Ohara in literally every anime this season and she's the new man turned babe Saika here, nice to have some more females in this fujoshi fest.

The movie was Sengoku Basara 3 if it was a sequel to the first anime series. Masamune killed Hideyoshi, so Mitsunari was trying to kill him, and a lot of other things were kind of weird.
