Hakuouki SHinsengumi Kitan actually managed to surprise me. If one was to watch the first few episodes, nothing really happens, but don't let that turn you away from it. It takes place wayy back in Japan's history during some sort of feudal war. Then it adds twists through these beings called "Oni", which are superstrong, superfast, have amazing abilities and fast regeneration. The animation in this is really really good! It seems to involve a bit of shoujo as well, but don't let that bother you as it doesn't last even a minute... sure there's mostly men everywhere and only one female lead, but it has a great story! Basically the female lead, Chizuru, goes out to find her father, but gets caught up in something and eventually stays with a sorta clan called the Shinsengumi. Watch this anime!
