Shougeki Shinsengumi

About This Movie

Shougeki Shinsengumi is this quirky OVA that brings to life the somewhat absurd side of the Shinsengumi. The animation style is super deformed, which gives it a delightful, almost childlike energy, contrasting with the historical figures' serious backdrop. It’s a bit chaotic, with frantic pacing that keeps you on your toes. The humor is slapstick and often feels like a rollercoaster ride through the absurd, making it quite unique. You’ve got these exaggerated performances that really lean into the comedy, which is a refreshing take on a historical theme. It’s definitely not your typical historical narrative, and that’s what makes it stand out in the collection. It's fun, light, and just a bit zany.
