I have to say, i really enjoyed this series.
It covers the start of the shinsengumi with less fighting and less oni stuff, but with more backstory.
If you liked the two seasons of Hakuouki you should watch this one too. :)

Only for Hakuouki fans; this will show you the start of Shinsengumi, yet, in my opinion, they could do a better job for a 12 episodes anime. Main character is boring, dealing with the same problem over and over again, with no actual conclusion. As a plus I have to say they did not cover much the demon blood topic, which I find unfitting. If you don't expect anything awesome from this, then it's a good anime.
