The NHK production of Shinsengumi is a sprawling epic that take's place during the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Kondo Isami is the adopted son of a Sensei of a poor fencing hall. Kondo aspires to be something greater as he watches his country fall apart around him. Together with his friends Toshizo, Okita, Hajime Saito, Yamnammi and Sanosuke. They form a group of Ronin to help police Kyoto during a time of blood. Soon they make a choice that will bring their house of cards down upon them.
I fell in love with this show the second I saw it. Whats interesting is seeing these young people, who are actually quite innocent. Become corrupted by the choices they make. It shows that the path of honor isn't always as clear cut as you would think. This television show is about 50 episodes of historical goodness. I recommend it for anyone interested in the Meji era, Rurouni Kenshin, Peacemaker Kurogane, and other shows that feature this fearsome group.
