![]() The plot is all over the place and right from the get-go sounds ridiculous. Sengoku Night Blood strives to be original, but at best, it is a vapid, shallow show with a cast of too many characters for you to care about. The works that follow in the wake of Hakuoki's success are proving more and more lackluster and unoriginal. They have been mimicking a formula that once worked for Hakuoki but reworking it again, and again, has made it a tired and unoriginal formula by now. ![]() Ironically enough, this 'originality' between the two can be attributed to the company that created both otome games: Idea Factory or Otomate. Historical samurai/warlord figures remade in the image of pretty, attractive young men make up the cast that surrounds the main female character, and the plot is injected with a supernatural twist: vampires stand out the most as taking a leaf from Hakuoki's rasetsu. Not only are both reverse harems adapted from otome games, the characters and the stories itself of Sengoku Night Blood has borrowed a fair amount from the older Hakuoki. There have been comments made about the eerie similarity of the two titles.
