Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru ~Makuai Kaisouroku~ is an interesting recap flick, really. It brings together some key moments from the series, encapsulating the essence of the characters and their world. The animation retains that familiar vibrant palette, which is nice if you appreciate the aesthetic of the original series. The pacing is a bit uneven since it’s a recap; some parts feel rushed while others linger just a tad too long. The themes of friendship and duty are still present, underscoring the bond between the swords and their handlers. It’s not groundbreaking or anything, but it does manage to evoke a certain nostalgia for followers of the franchise. Worth considering if you have an affinity for the source material.
