"This is seriously one of the best anime series out. I was drawn in immediately. The ruthlessness of the characters on each side will astound you. You will be torn between which family that you are supposed to root for. The genius of this is that the series does a good job of Not favoring either side throughout each episode. Just when you feel comfortable to pick a side you are immediately thrown a curve ball. I watched the whole series in one day it draws you in that much. A MUST OWN PEOPLE I AM NOT KIDDING."

The action continues!

"In a lot of anime, once we get past the exciting intro done by the first few episodes we usually have a boring second volume that slows things down- not so with Basilisk! In volume 2: The Spoils of War we jump right back into the action with a plot that just keeps on moving at incredible speed.

Volume 2 hits us with four more action packed episodes where we finally get to see inside the Kouga clan and meet more of their ninjas. This adds an extra layer as it really hits you how you can't pick a side. After watching the first four episodes (more like ep 2-4) I had 'picked a side' since I liked the characters of the Iga clan so much, but now, well let's just say, the Kouga clan has characters you'll end up rooting for too (including a Akeginu look-a-like).

If you enjoyed volume 1, then you won't be disappointed with this one, you'll be left wishing volume 3 would get here faster!"
