Overall10Story10Animation10Sound10Character10Enjoyment10ARE YOU READY GUYS?! DON'T SLACK OFF!!okay, enough of my obligatory one liner intro. But before I start the review, I just wanna make a few things clear:1. This is NOT a standalone movie, this is a SEQUEL to Sengoku Basara 二, which in turn is a Sequel to Sengoku Basara. Though you can watch this first as it gives short synopses of the first two. But you will eventually have to watch those for this movie to make sense.2. This anime may cause testosterone poisoning because it is overflowing with manliness3.

If you are looking for realistic war battles, this movie (heck, series) ISNOT FOR YOU. People do, and WILL constantly do increasingly impossible (and awesome) feats.okay, with those out of the way, let's get it on!Story: 10/10Sequel to Sengoku Basara 二, this movie starts off with a 'what happened after' style story telling. We get to see how the previous war affected the protagonists' faction on each of their POV. 'Cameo Factions' of side characters are also given less focus too, so there's no filler in this movie.The story is mainly told in a character centric way. The plot itself, however, is the typical 'tyrant trying to conquer a country' plot.

Sengoku

Full Moon Party

It's pretty cliche yes, But is nonetheless still engaging due to the sheer awesome of the characters. Who are all pretty well rounded.Art: 10/10Character Design is pretty top notch. Everyone looks very modern yet still feel like they really are from the Sengoku Era, though it's mostly the mooks who look that part. 3D special effects look pretty integrated too.The animation is pretty smooth and the environment (even barren ones) look picturesque.

Buildings and Transportation are very detailed. There's also a nice surprise at the credits, one of the few times you WILL want to watch the movie credits.Sound: 10/10Epic fighting scene music? Check. Mood fitting music? Check. Good Opening/Closing credits music?

Quadruple check.Overall, the music here are all very fitting; there's the hard rocking music for fighting scenes and op/ed; there's the slow and serene music for the more serious scenes; there's the epic ominous music with latin-like chanting for when people are fighting the more sinister lot of the cast.Music aside. Another strong point of this movie is the voice acting. (or at least, japanese voice acting) The characters that are meant to be Loud and Compelling are exactly just that. Soft spoken characters are also appropriately soft spoken. NO ONE will make you feel like they sound off. It has always been even in the 1st Sengoku Basara.Character: 10/10Character development HO!

Previously well developed characters are given even more development here. Previously 'Mr. I-Appeared-in-the-last-episodes' types are also fleshed out via showing previously offscreen events.

There are still unexplained recoveries though. But we can safely assume it's part of every single plot relevant main/supporting characters' many powers.That aside.

Sengoku

Everyone gets their fair share of depth and screentime depending on their importance in the plot. Characters who are there just to kick in the story are immediately put aside in the sidelines and never mentioned directly again.And oh, I just would like to add that some characters here are pretty crazy awesome and often have hilarious one liners which only emphasizes their awesomeness.Enjoyment: 10/10The Sengoku Basara series is originally one of Capcom's FIGHTING game series. True to it's Fighting Game origins. There's A LOT of fighting in this movie and it's prequels. Even if you can't care much about the characters or plot there's still the insane amount of action to keep you entertained.This is definitely a must watch for action fans. There's ZERO fanservice too, unless you count the the male characters sculpted bodies and primal screaming during fighting fanservice.Overall 10/10In closing. I really enjoyed the Sengoku Basara Series.

This movie gives a damn satisfying ending. Where the protagonists go have ONE HELL OF A PARTY.
