I wanted a really awesome gallery (but likely our server won't be happy with another format for just images) but this was the fastest solution...simply create thumbnails and resize images
Please feel free to send us anything *original* or fanart related (manga, comic strip, parodies, sculptures, digital art)...anything as long as it's not "adult" related (e.g. art which shows blatant sexuality)...(we are not averse to yaoi/yuri however this gallery is for public viewing and we have to be sure we aren't exposing kids to mature material).

Kurotokagi has just released Shinsengumi: Last day of the Shogunate (1960) formely know as Soretsu Shinsengumi Bakumatsu no Doran. Here is the descriptions:
" The stormy tale of the Shinsengumi is told from its birth by master filmmaker Sasaki Yasushi, with an all-star cast based on the original story by Shirai Kyoji. Starring the great Kataoka Chiezo as Kondo Isami, along with support from most of the biggest stars of Toei Studio, including Otomo Ryutaro, Okawa Hashizo, and Wakayama Tomisaburo; the battles between the royalists and Shogunate supporters come to a fever pitch during the Gion Festival as the exclusionists plot to burn Kyoto and kidnap the Emperor. From its earliest beginnings as a group of ronin brought from Edo to protect the Shogun when he is in Kyoto to see His Imperial Highness, the group had to face difficulties both from within and without. Commander Serizawa Kamo's corrupt practices threaten the group's very existence, as they try to recover from the bad reputation he left them with. Their redemption comes when they learn of Katsura Kogoro plans to gather men at Kyoto's Ikedeya Inn for his attack on the city. Along with Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji, Kondo leads the group in an attempt to save Japan from the rebels."
A preview is also available at Kurotokagi.com.

If you are fan of the series, and a Shinsengumi fan, you will probably enjoy reading chapters 129-132 translation provided here . Those chapters explain Okita and Hijikata's background.
Here, you will find some manga raws corresponding to those chapters.
