Beyond Enemy Line

I just watched this first episode of a new Japanese anime set in 1800s war torn Feudal Japan. Seriously, you have no idea how 'versatile' I am in terms of what to watch. Big budget movies like James Bond dont quite appeal to me. Anyway, back to this. Different parts of Japan were at war with one another and then one of the soldier actually formed a friendship with another soldier from an enemy state when he was sent there. So when he came back, his soldiers were attacked at seas by the opposing state where incidentally, his friend was also on board the enemy ship. Then while at the HQ, the key players actually congregated together opposing the underhand tactics used by the enemy ship. But he actually defended them calling them courageous for attacking the enemy line at such close proximity by misleading them with an American flag at first.

So of course they were suspecting some things were amiss because he was obviously not on their side. And before they could react further, he left and then stood by the edge of the cliff overlooking the seas wondering how his new friend was and wishing that he would be alive amidst the chaos the other night.

They havent got to the part as to how they became friends yet but I just thought it was interesting..like u know...wishing your enemy was alive instead of being dead. I suppose he learnt a lot of things about them that made him rethink that the war among them was pointless. But on the other hand, he might have been misled using the tactic of getting to know your enemy first before attacking them. So this 'friendship' would turn out to be nothing but fraud.

Hence, I was intrigued by the ongoing storyline later. So one request...........

PLEASE POST THEM UP QUICKLY!!!!

Anyway, the animation was rich like how the guy's long flowing raven hair beautifully framed his petite face. But the subtitles were a little bit too fast for me coz I suppose Japanese people speak fast?!

Loking fwd to watching it again.
