On it’s surface the plot is a basic anime revenge story but it’s told in really mature way. The characters are some of the deepest most will developed characters I’ve ever seen in ( the first season) an anime. It’s also probably the most feminist (action) anime I’ve watched. It deals heavily with the place of women in feudal Japan and the women navigating it are great complex characters. The other main character is a disabled guy who while funny isn’t played for jokes and is incredibly resourceful.
My only complaint with the show is sometimes the art is a little weird and there’s a couple of scenes where the plot armor is a little heavy. Seriously give it a watch.
A persons answer to this is a strong test as for what type of anime viewer they are tbh
My college anime club was filled with the “champagne” style purists and almost all of them walking stereotypes (anime club at a tech school is a horrifying combo).
Stuff like “grave of the fireflies” that ties deeply into a cultures experience of an event is uniquely Japanese, but that doesn’t mean anime has to be.
ISR was made and censored when it broadcast in Japan, so the otaku sorts all pirated the Thai airing because it wasn’t censored.
