Katanagatari
Katanagatari has one of the most interesting concepts of any of the Japanese, history-centric anime on this list. The main character, Yasuri Shichika, is a swordsman that uses his body as a weapon, instead of an actual sword.
After he is hounded by an ambition young strategist, Togame, Yasuri sets out with her to find twelve mystical swords, known Deviant Blades.
The promise of wealth and adventure drive the relationship between Shichika and Togame, much like that of Sugimoto and his female companion, Ashirpa. Combine that with the politically spurred settings and themes in each show and you can see why Katanagatari is a solid choice.
