Blades, Shinsengumi, n... a Girl?

Okay, who like the pack of large cast of sword-wielding bishounen with mix oni theme on the period of Shinsengumi? Well, if u categorized with self-proclaimed fangirl, maybe u'll like it. This is Hakuouki.
Originally is a video game series by Idea Factory, which has been adapted into 2 anime series, 12 episodes of Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan(1st season) n 10 episodes of Hakuoki: Hekketsuroku(2nd season finished airing in 6 Dec 2010). The manga also been adapted as 2 different series.

The story itself rounded with classic japanese history. The Edo Era has ended after 260 years of history, n the Meiji Era begins. However, bitter strife still continues between soldiers of the new government n former Tokugawa retainers. This's the stage in which the surviving members of the Shinsengumi find themselves upon their return to Edo following their defeat at Tobafushimi.

I'm about downloading this too 'coz I love Shinsengumi. But I heard there are many disappointment about the anime. The characters wasn't beautiful enough, with a lot of 'lack' n too many touch of 'modern art'.

Well, for me, the main plot which about the girl as the main character n surrounded by lots bishies as her protector seriously I dislike it. But I want to see Hijikata n Okita Shouji, plus there's modern oni theme with mix slightly like 'vampire' in here. Hmmm... maybe interesting? I don't know, just start the torrents today in my bitcomet task list.
