THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

This episode was kinda meh. Definite filler material, although I'm not sure if this series actually has anything to fill in. Oh well, on to the next!

Loved this episode. Kenshin's circus act was hilarious.

I totally agree, these plots are similar to the fillers of long running shonen animes, introducing a new bad guy each episode and the gang having to overcome it!

I hope the episodes have more continuity soon!

I'm already starting to get a little bored with RK.
It's become like watching the same episode over and over.
New bad guy creates a problem, the gang pitches in, Kenshin kicks butt, a lesson is learned, the end.

I do hope a proper arc starts soon.
I've heard nothing but good things about RK.
I'm waiting for it to fulfill the hype.

Ah, the good old classic light-hearted improvising theatre episode.

Those are always really fun. ^^

Reminded me a lot of Slayers.

I liked the episode okay, but I can't stand some of this dialogue much more. "He wants me to get ya! Here I come!" uuugghhhh these standard villains have the worst possible dialogue. It's so terrible.

None of these episodes have been particularly good since the ones with the Oniwaban group. Hopefully it gets more intense soon.

Kenshin's circus act was, indeed, hilarious, however.

Hehe, this one was awesome. Kenshin's act was hilarious, and poor Sano, that knife-throwing part was fantastic. XD Loved everything in this ep. ^o^ And Kenshin sang~ Not half bad, though the song was really slow and old sounding XD New favorite episode actually. owo

It was funny to see them try to entertain the crowd. Kaoru is a public danger xD
And so is Kenshin. Imagine what would have happened if the knives had rebound in the crowd from his umbrella...

Definitely a filler though. I want to see an adventure storyline!!

Pretty funny episode, quite liked it! While it didn't had any direct influence in the story it still was a pretty fun one!

This episode was okay. I liked some stuff a lot: the canon girl's costume design, the idea of the bad guys being crooked businessmen, and trying to improvise a show. The dialogue was kind of goofy, and everything was really formulaic.

Why did Kenshin have written characters in his mouth during the performance?

this was just all kinds of silly and campy but overall it wasn't bad.

It was a good episode, with quite entertaining humor.
Enjoy the Kenshin and Sanosuke show HAHAHAHA

The hired swords were no match for Kenshin "Somenosuke" Himura and his umbrella Hiten Mitsurugi (and their client blabbed so much about their "feats" that the police came lo arrest them).
