Some time around the mid 1600's to 1720's. Maybe. Basing this off of the sword school Jin uses and the fact there are still hidden christians roaming about the main island of Japan.

Incidentally, they use a different calendar from ours. It's 2017 atb(Acension Throne Brittania) by their calendar.

I suppose these could be considered period shows since they don't take place in the era they were animated in. Future anime are not included in this list.
