Anime: Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan

 
 ★ ★ ★ 
I accidentally saw this anime on Hero and somehow I just decided that I wanted to watch it. I did and now I can't stop obsessing about it. This anime is so good, I can't still get over with everything that's happened.

The Shinsengumi were all cute and I loved them all. :">
I've also read that this was originally a video game that's been adapted into anime. 

The story is about Chizuru Yukimura who heads to Kyoto to look for her father. She disguises herself as a boy and meets the members of Shinsengumi who she becomes close with. She then learns that the Shinsengumi are also looking for her father and since they're both looking for the same person, the Shinsengumi decided to let her stay with them. Later on, the Shinsengumi find out about her disguise so they start to treat her more nicely because of it. The story unfolds as they encounter a lot of things including meeting Kazama, an oni, who eventually realizes that Chizuru is an oni like him. He takes an interest on Chizuru but then the Shinsengumi won't let him have her since she doesn't like him at all. The story continues as Chizuru follows the Shinsengumi on their battles to help the shogunate.
Characters: 
Toshizo Hijikata. Vice-Commander/Vice-captain. 24. Sword.
Hijikata is strict but very thoughtful and mature; very serious but does tend to smile occasionally, and he does have a nice side. He has a lot of respect for women, which is one of the reasons for him being so protective of Chizuru.
 
Saito Hajime. 3rd Unit Captain. 21. Katana. 
 Saito is a very stoic, quiet fellow who only speaks when spoken to or when something is worth saying. He is extremely loyal to Hijikata and obeys any orders without question. He is very thoughtful and always puts the safety of others above his own and never lets on about what he's truly thinking or feeling.
 
Okita Souji. 1st Unit Captain. 20. Katana.
Okita is a handsome young man, standing at 176 cm or 5’9” with brick brown hair and emerald green eyes, with a charming personality and sarcastic wit. He idolizes Isami Kondou, the commander of the Shinsengumi, and imitates his hair style. As much as he tries to hide it most of the time with teasing and rudeness, he is honest, good natured, polite, but he seems to be the type of person who likes to keep important information to himself, just to see what happens.

Sanosuke Harada.10th Unit Catain. 23. Spear-type.
Harada is one of the most cheerful of the Shinsengumi, and can usually be found making jokes with Shinpanchi and making people smile. He can be quick to anger, as seen when a slip of Heisuke's tongue alarms him enough to throw a punch at the younger officer to silence him, but despite his temper and his tendency to be laid back when he isn't concerned, he is also very friendly and loyal.
 
Heisuke Toudou. 8th Unit Captain. 18. Sword.
Heisuke is a cheerful young man closest to Chizuru in age. He is very protective over her before he died.

Shinpachi Nagakura. 2nd Unit Catain. 24. Katana
Shinpachi is a boisterous, cheerful young man who enjoys drinking & having a good time with his comrades, and is very good friends with Heisuke and Harada. In spite of him tending to be the loudest at parties, he never seems to have much luck with women & often blames Sano for "stealing all the women".

 And I just love them when they smile.

I really enjoyed watching this anime and though it had a sad ending, it was still beautiful. It broke my heart over and over again but I can't help but love it. All the characters were amazing and the plot was engaging!
