Drifters

I loved the plot and the animation itself is great, got lots of violence and humor too. It's the terrible storytelling and characters along with the dub and sub which spoiled the experience.

The setting is a medieval fantasy world with elves, dwarves, orcs, humans, and dragons. There is a war going on between the humans and the rest of the species. The twist is famous personalities with military background from earth are transferred there after their death, these guys are called Drifters. It's interesting to see how these famous people change the world around them with life-giving them a second chance. Facing them are Ends, these again seem to be famous personalities but ones who died a painful death. The ends also have mystical powers to supplement their personality.

My complaint with the anime is the focus on Japanese personality which the people outside Japan won't know about. The ones known the world over like Hannibal and Joan of Arc are given weird personalities. I would have loved it if they would have pitted a Hannibal vs Rommel. These unknown famous guys from Japan just don't hold the interest for me.

The Eng dub for the anime was missing for most of the episodes so I had to shift to sub, even that use to skip out on 2-3 minutes of gag scenes.

Just as my review says, this anime is definitely one of the most decent ones I've ever seen in a long time. Art is splendid, comedy was funny and English Dub cast including Josh Grelle as Toyohisa did such a well done job with every badass character you can find and storyline was top notch.

This is one of the best isekai series to watch folks, seriously!!!!

The year 1600, the decisive moment in the Battle of Sekigahara. After the strategic retreat, Toyohisa Shimazu, a commander of the Shimazu clan in Satsuma, flees alone into the mountains, eventually finding himself in a corridor with countless doors. There he encounters a mysterious man named Murasaki, but before Toyohisa can ask him a question, he is sent to the other side of a stone door. The commander enters places, an alternative world in which so-called demon people live alongside humans. Together with Nobunaga Oda, Yoichi Nasu and other heroes who have come to this world from different times, Toyohisa plunges into the battles of another universe as a samurai.

"Drifters" has aroused my interest with its "Hellsing-like animation" and, like "Hellsing", manages to tell an entertaining story, if not exactly deep, with this animation.

The coming together of fighters from different eras is a brilliant idea and the soundtrack just doesn't let you skip the intro.

I really wish the anime got a second season.

By the time I finished watching Drifters, I was not only impressed by the overall content, but also for its ability to entertain. If you have a sense of humor, then this will definitely be worth every minute of time. If you take it too seriously, though, then Drifters will probably feel more like a chore to watch. I would absolutely recommend Drifters even if you're not a fan of the author's works. I can't say this enough, but Hirano's ability to express his ideas are just too damn entertaining to evade.

I love this anime

Kouta Hirano has really gave this all he had . and i gotta admit it was a success . this is a battle royal full of heroes legends and epic real characters of our world fighting a brand new war like what the title suggests , it's full of action scenes and blood sights and they are all well made , that's what u can expect from someone who made hellsings , the thing is you don't see the negative points of hellsing in it the original hellsing was so slow and nothing really happened after 13 episodes as u see in the hellsing ultimate they put all of the original 13 episodes in what ? 3 episode ! so it would bored you .and in the ultimate they ruined the characters and made them into what they are not and it wasn't near good at what they were in original hellsing but in drifters , characters are perfect you would love them after 2 episodes and the anime is not boring or slow at all its exciting ! it's well drawn and the graphics are beautiful ..Kouta Hirano was always obsessed with eyes and here he completed his eye development ! the world he created is not that much difernt form our own earth so he actually brought some beasts and creatures to our world and then add the characters .. i like the story and characters development is really nice you would love to know more about them ... for bad points i can say its a Cliché ..elfs dwarfs dragons goblins ...what are those ? those are Cliché there are few new things in this anime ...and the other bad point would be its awfully Nationalistic ...yes it is like everyone form japan are just perfect and supper cool but other from rest of the world are crazy ,messed up ,old and obviously not cool as the Japanese aside from these if you wanna watch a good anime with sword fights gun fights dragon fights air battles sea battles in the other word full of fights including your favorite historical real heroes u must watch this
