Ikusagami: Last Samurai Standing

It's painfully obvious they cut the season in half and I wish such trend would stop. Was it too much to ask for 10 episodes?

I sincerely recommend putting this series on a waiting list until it's complete. The story is too good to be butchered by netflix's schedule, the cut happens just as we were about to head into the climax. Doesn't make much sense and my day is ruined.

First of all, I want to state that show is worth watching. Especially to those attracted to Samurais and Japan. It reminds me of Squid Games and type of show that is.

Show is fun, samurai battles really well coordinated, lots of techniques. Lots of different types of characters.

But I have one major downside, and that is loopholes, un logical scenarios and actions.

Also, I think it needed few more episodes to completely fill in some story holes, or invest more time in explaining it.

One point per life. During the Meiji era, 292 fighters came together at Tenryu-ji Temple in Kyoto after sunset, The challenge was clear: take each other's wooden tags and make it all the way to Tokyo. The winner would get the prize ¥100 billion.

The first five episodes offered enough bloody, ambitious set pieces and character development to keep me generally engaged, with the sixth episode (Action-packed climax) features the final showdowns of the tournament, concluding with an intense battle that takes place during fireworks.

Last Samurai Standing is a visual treat and sure to satisfy genre fans. If you're looking for seriously brutal samurai fight sequences and a tension-filled contest, "Last Samurai Standing" is a must-watch.

Obviously this is a squid games rip which was originally an Alice in Boarderland rip. As the title suggests, I thought it was pretty good. It didn't bore me but it didn't entirely captivate me either. The fight scenes were the coolest part about it, loved them. I will be watching season 2 if it gets one.

The show is compentent enough at story telling. There is enough intrigue to make you want to know what is behind it all and what are the intentions behind some of the characters. There are also sub plots carried behind the main story so that is also a good thing. The fight choreography is really good and the action is entertaining enough. I would recommend to watch this show. It is good and entertaining, however just shy of being great. That's why I give it an 8/10.
