Each BASARA game resets itself, meaning that the events in each game change with each installment. The biggest problem with the movie is that it wanted to keep the emotion of the video game it is based on ( Sengoku BASARA 3, specifically for the film) while keeping the storyline of the anime thus far. It all comes to a head at Sekigahara, where it turns into a melee to see who will become the one to unite Japan AKA, the last one standing. The story is simple: Ishida Mitsunari is on a quest to revenge his lord’s death all while Tokugawa Ieyasu wishes to end the wars that have plagued Japan. Sengoku BASARA: The Last Party was released in Japanese theaters on June 4, 2011. It was a big project that was supposed to end the anime series, which lasted two seasons. WARNING! Although the anime has been out for over ten years, I still have to put a spoiler alert for those who are just discovering this. Despite this, I feel like the film fell flat, which is why I think Sengoku BASARA: Judge End was released three years later. The hidden historical details that are inserted throughout make it fun for those who know Sengoku Jidai history all too well. I am a huge fan of the Sengoku BASARA series, not just for the video games, but also for the anime. That being said, where do I begin with this one? I know this is ten years too late, but I am still going to do a review. Official movie poster for Sengoku BASARA: The Last Party
