I saw some of the 2005 drama and it seemed really good. Even the recent one also glorifies the Shinsengumi somewhat, but it also shows some of the conniving of some members. True indeed, they were violent and bloodthirsty men and a desparate gamble for a Shogunate that was already failing. Hi Toshogu,

Shinsengumi was actually the first Taiga that I watched when it came out in 2005. I really enjoyed it. Of course the drama glorified them and made them look very heroic. They may have been but they were also very, very violent and blood thirsty men. Very cool. Shinsengumi was actually the first Taiga that I watched when it came out in 2005. I really enjoyed it.
