Pretty well done! Animation still can be smoother (say when compared to Mounty Oum animations) and the models could also be more detailed along with other graphical details. Maybe also try playing with different camera angles during the fight scenes? Although you do accomplish a sort of manga-esque feel which is pretty cool!
Keep it up! :D I'm looking forward to many more things from you!

yeah- next month I will get a better mocap setup which will help with making these movements more realistic and smooth.
Very cool! The style works very well in 3D, you see alot less of it around here than the 2D anime stuff (which all looks the same to me) so I will commend that choice. A couple of the male voices felt a bit forced but that's really it. Good going so far.
so good! Can't wait for more episodes. If you need any assistance, holler at me
eventually but i'm sure you already have enough on your plate atm
Awessome, tho I am sad that EVERY guard in anime is like a peasant with a sword. It's like they receive no training to battle assassins....
Ashigaru were peasant farmers for the most part- conscripts. Just like WW1 and 2 they're given basic training and then work in the army for a period of time. Then go back to farming, so against a lifelong trained swordsman one on one...they're probably not going to win. It's like special ops vs regular military or more like Sam fisher from splinter cell vs the average goon or guard soldier.
Also the series would be very short if the main character died in the first few minutes of the show.
That said- next episode has a competent duel, first of many in the series
Better brace yourselves people, the legend has revived and arrived.
