About

You’ll likely enjoy Drifters if you want an isekai battle story with real historical legends thrown into a fantasy war and plenty of humor, but Not for you if you dislike violent, over-the-top action or prefer character-driven depth over popcorn thrills, like Black Clover or Golden Kamuy.

Pros: wild historical lineup; over-the-top battles; fun dark vibe | Cons: shallow feel; very violent/gory; heavy on Japanese figures
