Shura no Toki

[Zidarri]

I just started watching this anime last night, and I absolutely love it.

It is about the Mutsu clan, and their undefeated unarmed-martial arts, Mutsu Enmei Ryu. It has three story arcs about different members of Mutsu and their influence on historical Japanese swordsmen. It starts off with Mutsu Yakumo, and Miyamoto Musashi. Then, it goes on to Yakumo's son, Mutsu Takato and Yagyu Jubei, and lastly; Mutsu Izumi and Sakamoto Ryoma.

It's a very enjoyable anime, with the fights not being over-done, and the story being amazing. I recommend it highly to any anime fan.

Just one question. Is the plotline in consistency? Or is it like one generation has barely anything to do with the other.

Well, the first story arc is the basis, pretty much. The second story arc has nothing to do with the first, except continuing the awesome Mutsu Enmei Ryu. And the third story arc is the same.

I have 1-26, and I've been led to believe there's more beyond that. Can you confirm or deny?
