I like that you got caught up in its focus on character development rather than action.
The thing is, it doesn't have much action at all. It does show promising ones, but overall it's really strayed from the usual samurai anime stereotypes where the action mostly carries the show. And the art! It's totally the one that caught my attention because I'm curious on how they'll portray Edo Japan in that kind of artstyle—so yeah, I really finished it, and I'm glad I did.
Thanks for stopping by, @jessuses1381... It's really nice to read your comments!
