THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I just this RAW. Considering how #2 pissed off at one part. This one not only pissed me off but almost made me vomit when I saw Kuroishiro (I think that is his name) reveal that he has two heads grafted on his body! THAT IS SICK! On top of that one of the heads is the girl's mother that Manji is helping in this mess. I AM HAPPY THE PIECE OF **** DIES! HAHAHAHA! He deserved it! Now the rest of the gang must be done cause I think they want revenge....too bad Manji will kill them (oops I mean too bad for their stupidity of trying to compete with Manji). Next one seems Inn assault type...hmmmmm interesting action. I''l be back after the subs but I really hate that scene...serious sick stuff for sure.
Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me.

Well, the music still sucks. I actually think it sucked a little more in this episode, because that singer who sounds like she's dying was carrying on through what few battle scenes there were.

And maybe I was zoning out a little because I don't understand Japanese, but it seemed to me like there was waaaaaay too much dialogue. This is Blade of the Immortal! Where's the action? I swear Manji and Kuroi Sabato (right?) actually touch blades about...5 times? Maybe 6?

Still not impressed. That makes me sad. Hoping it'll be better when I can read the subs.

hmmm i think the rather crude animation, bad music, and a whole bunch of other songs are just destroying this anime. i think there is sitll room to get better. i liked watching this anime despite all the stuff that might be "wrong" with it.

i will say that i liked watching this episode far better than the latest episode of To-Love-Ru....seeing as i dont feel like i wasted my time watching it.

Yeah Mashimo, I wont.

Worst anime director ever.

If I ever meet the man, I will punch him in the face. Introduce some motion into his static life.

I just lowered my rating on this, again.

Definitely the worst series that has come out of this season.

Maybe it's because I haven't read the manga in ages but wasn't he supposed to fight with Magatsu first?|:

I thought half the episode was done apart from the manga. Had it followed the manga they probably wouldn't have been able to fill enough time with just that part of it.

I addition to the horrible directing, horrible animation, and horrible music they also manage to destroy the storyline from the manga by mixing in characters and story elements that aren't supposed to even exist for another 40 or so chapters. I swear whoever sold the rights to let Bee Train produce this series deserves to be skull fucked with a baseball bat.

My favorite part was during the one part where Manji and Kuroi were fighting, they cut to Hyakurin having a chat behind a tree. Couldn't we toss that dialogue in later and, oh, I don't know, watch some of the action that the manga is so known for brought to life? Of course, then I would have been complaining about how lame the fight scenes are.

Wow, way to make that one a no-win situation, Bee Train.

meh. I picked up no.3 seeing as I've kept up with all my other shows I'm watching, thankfully I was able to get through it without reaching for my manga. this is really sad, i was expecting more from the three-headed psychopath instead of some lack-luster sword play. manji's been alive for god knows how long and he can't die, so that explains why he is so -sloppy- but still..this leaves me wanting more

They really have shonen-ified it with spectators to every fight, commenting on shit.

Dropped, it is hardly as good as Ninja Scroll and Shigurui.

It's not as bad as it looks to be for me. I love the direction and there's at least a great atmosphere, but I agree on the lack of action and proper characterization though. An average series but I've seen far worse, even this season, so I guess I'm not dropping it until the end.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I AGREED SABATO IS SICK SICK SICK. :D~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THAT IS HOW MUCH I WOULD PUKE IN REAL LIFE SHOULD I ENCOUNTER A REAL PERSON LIKE SABATO. I hope you understand how much I am disgusted. Probably my whole day of food someone could make me regret eating...only someone like him.

Seriously, I don't remember Kuroi wearing lipstick in the manga, WTF!!?

I really hate that the best fight scenes are only during the Op credits.

If I remember correctly Manji killed Kuroi with his dual blades.......

Hahaha oh man the music is just awful, fits this horrible adaptation.Everything I've wanted to say has already been said so I'll just sum it up: It's amazing how they were able to make everything so generic/lifeless.

Dropped.

i always try to watch animes before reading the manga... and apparently in this case that was a good decision. i didn't think it was amazing, but i didn't think the anime on its own was that horrible. i'll keep watching and see what happens.

Another awesome episode. All this bitching is getting tiring considering these episodes aren't NEAARLY as bad as you are all making it out to be. The only bad music is in the OP, really, which nearly makes my ears bleed every time.

Jesus, that old man was sick. Sticking two women's heads on his shoulders. Ugh. I don't really understand this series aside from the girl wanting revenge, but what does that have to do with Manji and him being an immortal.

if i wasn't watching this because the manga is one of my favourites, this is where i would drop it.
this episode was horrible.
and i don't mean that because sabato is a sick person, i actually like his character in the manga, he's sick and perverted, but he's interesting as a character. but, what the actual fuck they did to him and his story here???

oh god, i hope this gets better soon.
and i really wanted to see make, now i'm not so sure.

Damn, this show sucks 😭
- The villain was so messed up. Why the hell would he stitch two heads to him…
- Damn, she gave up so quick lmao
- This show is just an edge fest.
- I guess the rest of this show is just taking down the rest of the gang?
