OtaHub's take

It is set as the Black Ships arrive in Kyoto and the shogunate stumbles toward ruin. Amid the chaos, Nio, a kindhearted boy on the verge of discovering his destiny, meets two Miburo, Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji, members of the Mibu ronin band who will later become the famous Shinsengumi. With dreams of a better world, Nio joins their fight to defend the city.

This is the second season, so watch Ao no Miburo first, since this part continues directly. It suits viewers who like Japanese historical drama from the Bakumatsu era and the story of the Shinsengumi.
