It offers a small glimpse into the manga featuring a short battle between two city nations.
The drawing style is mature, concise and the main selling point of this short story.
Animation is simple but clever and well executed.
Voice acting and music are kept simple but fit the seinen genre quite well.
Probs go out to the directing of this show: within 2 episodes a cast of varying main characters is assembled with minimal introductions all while depicting several naval battles and political negotiations.. yet one can follow the plot easily and get a sense of what the characters are all about.
The battles themselves are naive and simplistic but it doesn't dim the entertainment value too much.
Definitive recommendation! 7/10
