The ending theme(s) are “HOT BLOOD” by Nana Mizuke for Episode 1 and “Suiren” by the same artist for Episode 2. The music itself is reminiscent of a ninja-style anime and very Japanese-oriented (if that makes any sense.) It really does its job in trying to draw you into the atmosphere and I absolutely love that.Īlso check out: Crunchyroll & Funimation to Stream Special Attack on Titan Episodes The echoing vibrato of the vocalist really adds to the authenticity of the song and really gives you a nostalgic feel. It sounds like the came from 2007 and has an old school anime vibe to it. “Ouka Ninpouchou” by Onmyo-za serves as the show’s opening and I must admit, I really love this opening. I understand that in the case of 2007 vs 2018, there’s going to be a lot of changes to anime guidelines, but it didn’t feel like the same Basilisk because of it. Another thing that hurt the show (and this was to be expected) was the censorship.

While the characters were drawn rather well and were unique enough to stand out, the animation was very sloppy and uninteresting. The show bounces back and forth between characters, their powers and stories and doesn’t allow for anything to really sink in.Īlso, the animation quality of the first two episodes was passable at best. While this sounds like the correct way to introduce a show… and it is… it’s executed all wrong. They are trying to mix backstory along with character introductions along with character development along with world building. This show’s pacing is absolutely terrible. While I get that, it’s the only part of the show I fully get right now. Did the second season meet expectations?Īfter the events of the first Basilisk, the Kouga and Iga clans are living peacefully together, although there is still some obvious disdain there between the two clans. Although I don’t remember much of the first season, I saw that the sequel took place ten years after the first so I figured it was okay to jump in. It was one of the first shows, along with Ninja Scroll, that I watched when I first got into anime. It has been 11 years since the first season of Basilisk aired and it has been about 9 years since I’ve watched it.
