Drifters

A group of people from different era's in time, each own a great skill and are sent to a strange foreign land where there's demons, elves, dwarfs etc and they fight a battle for the greater good. Overall I can't fault this series, it has a great story, great characters and is also just worth watching just for the animation, action scenes and gore. Also there's subtitled and dubbed versions of it

This is a one-time watch masterpiece. What I would like to say to all people who are intending to watch this, please do not under any circumstances drop it at the first episode. I know the animation takes some getting used to and the plot may seem weird initially, but latest by episode two you will notice the true value of this anime and most likely binge watch it in less than 6 hours. Brilliant plot, very satisfying moments and at times some good comedy.

What are you waiting for? Go watch it!

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.

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.

Great anime with strategic action and historical figures as the antagonists/protagonists
