If you like bishounen that have personality, then this is the anime for you. Season Two is coming in the fall of 2010 and I can't wait for it. I usually don't like shoujo titles but this one piqued my interest. It has historical references which can help you with your Japanese history. (That's how it helped me learn) There is its own variety of humor and dialogue to make the plot progress.
You can see that the animation quality is very high in this anime which makes your viewing experience a more enjoyable one. It's not very much on the intense fighting but there is blood I assure you. When the Shinsengumi rush into Ikedaya, all the fun begins. And your brief history lesson.
The conclusion is Hakuouki is an anime that contains Japanese history, bishies, and blood.
