This turns out to be its greatest strength, too, as the story of Basilisk is easily immersible and interesting to predict. To its credit, Basilisk at least tries to set up a logical and stable story to base its violence around. But never mind that, we’ve got sex and violence! You’ll see a lot of this from the female cast. Something about someone’s place on the throne or something. Two clans are fighting each other after an anti-war pact is nullified after so many years with a number of specific ninja from each clan needing to be eliminated in order to “win.” Win what, you ask? I don’t know. Basically, the premise of Basilisk is nothing new. It highlights an issue that screams old Japanese culture with ninja and honor and clans and grudges and yadda, yadda, yadda.
It’s mostly about violence, with a little bit of sex sprinkled in. In all seriousness though, Basilisk isn’t all about sex and violence. Now it’s just about gruesome amounts of sex and video games. Remember when anime was all about gruesome amounts of sex and violence? That was great.
