I am an enjoyer of historical action anime, but usually not so much shounen action anime. However, The Elusive Samurai smooshed the two together in a way that was enjoyable, but I sometimes wondered if I would have loved it as much if it didn’t have – what appears to be – finger-crippling good CloverWorks animation.
