A standalone anime, titled Judge End, aired from July 5th 2014, this time produced by TMS Entertainment. FUNimation picked up the series to be dubbed, as Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings rather than Devil Kings, and with an equally-popular cast of who's-who in voice acting.

There are four main games so far, as well as several spin-off titles for various consoles: Despite a failed attempt by Capcom to bring the first game to the west by giving it an edited translation in the form of Devil Kings, which changed the characters' names and removed all Sengoku Period references (leaving Capcom reluctant to localise the sequels), the series maintains a strong fanbase, especially in Japan, mainly because, if nothing else, it's just fun.
The result was a franchise that abandoned such things as logic, physics, general subtlety, and historical accuracy, and instead ran entirely on Rule of Cool, a World of Badass chock-full of Flanderization, for better or worse. What they wanted was a stylish new-generation Hack and Slash with a loosely-based Sengoku setting, and increasingly ludicrous and over-the-top gameplay, characters, storylines, and general aesthetics. However, once you look past their similarities, it becomes clear that Capcom didn't want a historical simulation like the one Koei made. Sengoku Basara is more or less a copycat of Samurai Warriors, only created by Capcom.
