Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

First off, I have to say that I’m loving the character designs. I don’t know why but they’re just awesome. Second, the opening done by FictionJunction YUUKA is just heaven to my ears. Same goes for the ending song but I like the opening much, much more.

The main character is just too cool to describe. Akizuki, although he didn’t speak much during the first episode is the kind of character I like. All of the other characters are cool but the leader of the troupe gained my attention quickly. Yuyama is obviously a beautiful woman and an outstanding actress and also seems to be a skilled swordswoman. So I definitely can’t wait to see more of her.

The fight scenes, however, were amazing. I particularly loved the ending of the episode where Akizuki rushed into the auction and sliced that mysterious object in half. Which brings me to another point: the music. The sounds of BKI are unique and makes the atmosphere spill into your room. I have a feeling BKI’s OST is going to be one of the best this season.

Overall, this is a series that should not be missed from what I can tell from the first episode so far. Watch this and tell your friends!
