The Complete Sengoku Basara Saga! Season 1, Season 2 and the Movie, with special features.
Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings is an anime adaptation of the Capcom video game series of the same name made by Production I.G, planned and written by Yasuyuki Muto.
In the bloody Warring States Period, of feudal Japan, many generals fought in an endless struggle for power, but one man proved to be too big of a threat: the dark lord, Oda Nobunaga. Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune, two young warriors from different regions who become heated rivals, begin to form an unlikely alliance with the rest of the generals to take down the Demon Lord.
Japan's toughest warlords are on the move, leading massive armies against their rivals in a thrilling quest for total domination. Wielding insane weaponry and unleashing the elements to boost their already awesome power, these warrior generals roar into the fray atop turbo-charged stallions, slicing through the enemy with six blades at once.
They brandish explosive shotguns and swing swords the size of men. They crush the opposition with rolling battle fortresses and incinerate their foes with solar death rays. Hordes of ninja assassins and samurai fight to vanquish every adversary in their sight. As loyalties crumble and new alliances are forged in the scorching heat of battle, heroes become conquerors and conquerors become legends. This is war!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi is defeated, but feudal Japan isn’t safe yet. The fallen villain’s most loyal and lethal minion – Ishida Mitsunari – is obsessed with carrying on Toyotomi’s legacy of violence in the name of vengeance. Ishida brutally cuts a bloody path across the countryside, even as the nation’s other warlords rally toward an era of harmony. Unfortunately, for peace to finally be achieved, the fires of war must be unleashed once more. With Japan’s fate hanging in the balance, one of the most over-the-top battles in history is set to erupt in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings – The Last Party, based on the world created by Capcom! Who will prove tough enough to survive?

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings Review
“The show has tremendous visuals with stellar animation…it's light on plot and heavy on action, but every once in a while isn't it nice to shut your brain off and look at all the pretty colors? That's what this show brings to the table, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you're okay with that fact, or if you're a fan of the game franchise, definitely pick this one up. It's the kind of series you can watch by yourself or with a group of buddies and walk away from feeling energized.” DVD Talk
