BAKUMATSU Crisis

BAKUMATSU Crisis is an action TV anime produced by Studio DEEN, based on the game by FuRyu. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Japan's Bakumatsu era, the series brings together iconic historical figures including Shinsaku Takasugi, Ryouma Sakamoto, Toshizou Hijikata, and Souji Okita in a high-stakes battle that blends history with thrilling fantasy. Directed by Mitsutoshi Satou with series composition by Masahiro Yokotani, the anime faithfully expands the game's rich world onto the screen. With a compelling cast and pulse-pounding action, this is a must-watch for fans of samurai and Bakumatsu-era storytelling.

Set in an alternate vision of Japan's Bakumatsu era, this story revolves around a mythical relic known as the chronometer — an artifact said to hold dominion over time itself. In this world where samurai clash amid political upheaval, Kyoto serves as the beating heart of power and conflict. Shinsaku Takasugi and his trusted companion Kogorou Katsura make their way back to the ancient capital after a solemn journey, carrying the weight of history on their shoulders. But their return is met with chaos — the ground shakes violently and a mysterious rift tears open the sky. From within it emerges the chronometer, a relic believed to be long gone, now pulsing with a dangerous will of its own. As this uncontrollable force begins to wreak havoc across Kyoto, Shinsaku Takasugi and those around him find themselves standing at the crossroads of time and fate.
