Also, check EVERY review and tell me how many don't make a note to mention violence. The opening summary is from the MANGA'S opening, not actual historical context. If you would like to express opinions on other people's work of art, please refer to this section on Wiki neutrality policy that explains one of the only situations in which editors are permitted to express subjective views on Wikipedia. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia prohibits original research. I, personally, think it is more accurate than most shows of this genre, but I wouldn't say that unless I could cite a credible expert or source. And, who says that's accurate to the time period.

For example, the sentence, ' The series is noted for its brutal, unflinching look at violence and depravity of its time period.' contains the weasel phrase ' is noted for.' Noted by whom? Sure, the series presents unflinching violence, but you must attribute a statement like that to a reliable source. It is understood that the seppuku is implemented de facto (no hyphen in de facto, by the way). I also deleted de-facto from the phrase 'would eventually be put to death by forced de-facto seppuku.' This is a misuse of the phrase de facto.

I deleted the parenthetical very, as in '(very) loosely based on.' The word is clearly being used as a weasel word in this context and the parenthetical is unnecessary here, being used simply to augment the 'weaseliness' of the word.
