About BAKUMATSU Crisis

Here is what BAKUMATSU Crisis (BAKUMATSUクライシス) is about, retold in plain terms: an action anime by Studio DEEN (2019). What the story covers: The chronometer is a legendary treasure that has the ability to manipulate time. The Susanoo Incident unfolded in the capital of Kyoto and ended with the death of the masked shogun, Mugensai.

Also worth knowing: Having finished visiting the grave of his former master, Yoshida Shouin, Takasugi Shinsaku and his partner, Katsura Kogorou, return to Kyoto once again. All at once, the earth trembles and the sky splits open, and the chronometer, which was supposed to have been destroyed, appears from a rift in space-time. Now with a will of its own, the chronometer sets off going on an uncontrollable rampage!!

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kogorou Katsura (Takuya Eguchi) and Shinsaku Takasugi (Yuuichi Nakamura) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
