Sengoku Basara is so gay, I don't understand why its so big in Japan. I played the original inagural title of the franchise, released in the US under the title Devil Kings.
As with many capcom action titles of the era, it advertised itself as "like devil may cry"
Which it isn't.
The anime is pretty much standard fare for anime these days, and not interesting, although some sequences shine.
I played the demo of the most recent game, its evolved a little over the years...and while its essentially still Dynasty Warriors ripoff, it has a more interesting weapon and combo system than dynasty warriors, and is less buggy.
Now according to all the weeaboo females that I know (which is 3) Sengoku Basara has some insane appeal to Japanese women, and fujoshi types. I really still don't understand why.
All that being said, I didn't even know there was a fighting game, is it doujin? Because I can't see capcom releasing an official fighting game on that one...
All of this aside. Shinji Mikami has a new title coming out today. Shadows of the Damned. I'll probably be checking it out since we all know that Godhand, & Vanquish are worth a small african country. From the videos I've seen, it looks to have some pretty standard survival horror (Resident Evil 4) style gameplay, but the game seems to be more focused on atmosphere, character, story, and jokes, that sort of stuff. It looks pretty outrageous and funny.
