Think like Arslan Senki or Kingdom. There is going to be a lot of fighting mixed with historical information and more action.

Synopsis

In order to protect Tsutsushima Island at the end of the Earth, these men’s battle begins! At last, the great feared emperor has risen from the sea! Genkou (The Mongol Invasion of Japan), the major event that shook all of Middle Age Japan, is now told from a new perspective!

After being sent to exile on Tsutsushima Island, Kamakura samurai Jinzaburou Kuchii must now cross swords with the Mongolian Army!

Three Episode Impression

Angolmois is the story of a former disgraced government vassal, Jinzaburou Kuchii and others like him along with prisoners who were condemned to death. However, instead of being executed in Edo Japan, they are shipped off to Tsutsushima Island, an island between South Korea and Japan. When they arrive, they think nothing of it. Instead of being there for exile though, they have actually been sent to fight off a Mongolian Invasion. Can they make it out alive?

Honestly this series is not amazing, but not bad by any means. Unlike many other ‘historical’ anime, the series is actually based on a real battle that did occur on a real island. The first three episodes have moved rather quickly and we have surprisingly gotten quite a few bloody fights. We really liked what we have seen so far as it feels more Samurai Champloo/House of Five Leaves rather than something like Arslan Senki. Angolmois is not some heart-stopping show that is out of this world amazing, but it’s still a decent watch and a definitely different show compared to other anime on air this season, so we will keep watching.
