🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The OVA constructs its narrative not around large-scale battles, but around Hijikata's psychological state, relying on restrained animation to convey the weight of his choices. It explores the theme of doomed duty through a precise historical lens.
What lingers after viewing is a melancholic reflection on the end of an era, where personal tragedy overshadows political shift. The focus remains on the man who became a legend by standing against the tide of time. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Chie Uratani
