Bakumatsu: Crisis [Bakumatsu Season 2] DVD (Japanese Ver) Anime
The Bakumatsu was an era in which the souls of
young men burned with anxiety for their country's future. Takasugi Shinsaku,
a soldier of fortune from Choshu, sneaks aboard a government ship with his
comrade Katsura Kogorou in search of a mysterious "timepiece" with the
power to manipulate time that he fears the government wishes to keep for
themselves. Rather than allow such power to fall into the wrong hands, Takasugi
plans to destroy the artifact, but having obtained it, the artifact is quickly
stolen, forcing the pair to follow the mysterious thief to the seat of government
in Kyoto. However, when they arrive in the capital, they discover that the
government has been overthrown and the deity Susanoo now reigns in its place.
The streets of the city and the people in them are much different than Takasugi
and Katsura remembered. The times may have changed but their mission hasn't
- Takasugi and Katsura resolve to reset time and save their nation from the
nefarious forces trying to hijack it.
