This series is really growing on my. At first I thought the pace would be a distractor, but I'm really digging it. The juxtaposition of the slow pace and close up with extremly quick but gorey fight really makes this stand out.

I don't really like DarkIce's subs as much as Flomp or A-E & Saizen, but theyr'e still good.

I was hoping the people who subbed this episode (Dark ice i think they called themselves) would make it a regularity. I need some crazy samurai action naw.

Hope some one picks it up and carrys on with it.

>.< indeed long long time since 4 came out released. i had chat about this prob on 1 other forum and some user posted the following info from the subbers:
Let's see...here's the status reports from all the fansub groups that have put out shigurui as of this date

DarkIce: Status: Stalled (We will be stalling Shigurui until fruther notice. If you would like to see us pick up Shigurui again, send some translators our way!)

Anime Empire: Posted: 26-09-2007 20:17 Post subject:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

? Oh, nah... It just means I really need to get some releases added to the website when I get around to it. It is an active project still.

Saizen (who was helping Anime Empire): Translators Wanted!!!

October 01, 2007 at 10:55am
Hey, it's AMS, how's everyone doing? It's been a while since my last post. Fall is upon us but things over at Saizen never seem to change. Having said that I would like to say that Saizen is currently looking for anyone who can translate Japanese to English. The preference is quality over quantity as is usual for us. Don't be shy though, if you're not sure if you would qualify contact us anyway. You never know, you could be much better at it than you think


Recruiting QC for Shigurui

September 22, 2007 at 5:11am
We're sort of in the middle of catching up on Shigurui and a lot of episodes are, as a result, hitting QC rather rapidly. This, coupled with a couple of QC'ers not being around anymore, means we could use another hand or two. If this sounds interesting to you - and, ideally, you wouldn't mind working on Minami-ke as well later on - by all means, please apply. For more on quality checking, read this.


Flomp: 09.26.07 For the other shows aka Shigurui and Wangan Midnight we are not sure if we can continue doing them, as we are overloaded and a lot of staff have gone back to school so if you think you can help in TL and TLc then send an email to flomp.fansubs@gmail.com. Remember it can be Japanese or Chinese to English.

Yeah, so ACTUAL EPISODE DISCUSSION:

Dude sliced the other dude along with the woman's head.

Dudes were gonna watch that poor girl get raped by ladyman.

Nipple technique is pretty cool.

But seriously, amazing atmosphere in this show. They've really nailed it, direction, editing, script, music, it's pretty damn good.

lol @ all the females in this thread getting lost and calling this a filler/pointless ep..

No one cares what you think about how women should or shouldn't be treated. Accept what's present to you with open mind. Enjoy it. Savor it. If not, then you guys should stick to shoujo anime.

On a serious note, you guys are probably aren't experience/old enough to appreciate this kind of anime and what it has to offer.

and please.....stay safe.

I'm guessing Irako has some grudge against the Kogannryuu or something and this is all part of his plot to screw with them.

Or maybe he just loves the fame, status, women and all the benefits of being leader of the Koganryuu.

The hierarchy in this anime is very interesting, the way everything is decided and dealt with and all the honor and respect rituals
This show is very entertaining
I can't wait to see Fukjiki and Irako progress.

I shouldn't be watching this late in the morning but I guess it's the only time I can watch this lol. The dude at the tea house nailed my reaction when Gonzae's mouth extended.

Kogan only manages ta be more insane, from chopping half a lady's head off to test out the alleged death delay effect (still cool tho) to forcing his daughter to have sex right in front of his students who are pinning her down. Strong breed my ass *gets ass sliced*

Irako is one freaky perv who I have ta admit uses creativity in training (I'd never thought that I would witness a smug samurai slicing rice on a nipple before) xD

Fujiki's rage got him a new technique! Two Finger Death Slash~

They should add in translator notes... There's so much old timey samurai lingo like koku and wakizashi that I had ta search up after the episode.

so kogan kills anyone who gets close to iku even though they are not married or anything. This guy is a cruel monster. I hope he gets killed at some point also Imma take a guess that everyone is an asshole in this show. Even if they are not shown to be one yet. also random cat kill because reasons. Ya know I hope we at least we get more fights since if you cant give me one single likable character then you gatta give me something else.

Somehow this comment manages to be even more idiotic than the ones calling this episode filler. I think it's quite obvious that no one should be treated the way women are in this series. A large part of the reason why this episode is so great is because it treats a time period, and a subject matter(samurai code etc.) with enough realism to demonstrate how horrifying the problems that come along with it are. Not because rape is something that should be "savored" because of how "open-minded" you are.

Also, as someone who claims to be a mature viewer, there's no real excuse as for why you haven't yet realized that there are great shojo anime out there that are absolute masterpieces(ie. revolutionary girl utena) A mature viewer such as yourself has had more than enough time to do so after all.

This post almost makes it sound like you have a fear of young girls or something. Sure people calling this episode filler have a very poorly developed taste in art and are completely wrong, but at least they don't come off as creepy misogynist.

I really hope you don't still think this way and have somewhat matured over the years 😐 if not, I pity those who have to put up with you in your everyday existence. On a serious note, please.....stay safe

Irako is flying way too close to the sun if he thinks that hanging around the mistresses of the dojo master won't get him killed. I can see we why he chose Irako over Fujiki. He has made so much progress in over a year and is even close to perfecting the number one skill from the master.

It's pretty clear that eh has ulterior motives or else he wouldn't decline to fuck the chick right then and there. Can't wait too see how his plan unfolds.

The new technique from Fujiki didn't seem to differ much from the one he used against the twins or mabye I just missed it.

Kogan is a monster. The poor peasant's woman and Iku's fiancee. Then he had the nerve (I presume) to pass the rumor that Iku is a cursed woman.

"Men are puppets." I like Mie. She disobeyed her father and even when facing rape, was plotting suicide. Interestingly, Irako read her mind and urged to have the 'consummation' after the wedding. Mhm, meanwhile the other men :S

Irako practicing his sword skills on Iku's breast made me cringe in anticipation.

Why did Irako try to lie to Ushimata about his meeting with Lady Iku?

He told the truth to Lady Iku and also honed his sword technique by cutting a seed on her nipple.. I want to know what his main motive for doing all this.
