| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow this episode really made me O_O......let's see NOW......BLOOD/MORE NUDITY/BETRAYALS/EROTICISM. What more can make ONE GO O_O This episode was a bit heavy for me cause the blood splatter was WAY MORE THAN THE 1 EPISODE.......is the manga worse......I mean bloodier and explicit??? I was surprised that Kuro had to also eat part of Kuromitsu apart from the blood sucking. That guy with the GOLDEN MASK...MAN WAS HE A UGLY PIECE OF SHIT! BTW should he become immortal idiot should know that his appearance will not change anyways. So BACA HITO! Glad he is dead BTW. *Mod edit* |

| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| Man, that was barbaric yet awesome. Kuro must've "slept" quite a "few" days. lol |
| Very nice episode, I like the little mind games. I wonder what's next. |

| What an odd anime, wasn't expecting what happened in episode 2. Curious what episode 3 will bring. |
 |
| Very bloody episode, not Ninja Scroll bloody, but definitely up there. It seems the series is gonna be like a more mature Samurai Jack. Except, instead of trying to get home, hes looking for his woman. |
 |
| That was kind of an odd episode, but hey, I liked it. :) Guess Kuromitsu patched Kuro back together, but since their blood hadn't finished mixing the healing process took quite a bit longer than it should have. Or something like that. o.o |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| At the end of the scene, when kuro's woken up... Can't wait for the neXt eps!!! nb. for [SHS-YuS] ver. Plz....turn up the audio volume!!!! thx :D |

| Wow that was insanely amazing i love the art and action in this. Great Stuff |
 MAL list updates |
| wow it's becoming more interesting. Great episode. |

| I lol'd at "calling Edo, Tokyo." |
| While I didn't like this episode quite as much as the first one the series continues to show promise and be really damn cool. The skipping around is pretty confusing, but since I started reading a bit into the manga it seems that it's something this series will do quite a bit so I'll just have to accept that. |
| wow. awsome. best series this season |
 |
| ^ I agree.^ |
| Three Thousand Realms in a Single Moment |
| More awesome. I think I see where the plot is going now. |

| Ok, now we have a samurai+vampire+technology= ??? |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Awesome, this is turning out to be really interesting. Definitely among my favorites of the season. |

| wow! awsome. can't wait to see what ep 3 will be like |
    |
| Great episode, lots of potential. |
 |
| i loved the scene where kuro was fighting it was so awesome but this episode was kind of confusing it went from one part to the other but still liked the episode cant wait till the next episode cuz of the ending in this episode |
 |
Serena said: wow. awsome. best series this season ex aequo with Gundam 00 i must say. But yes! it's kickin' ass |
| Wow...just...wow. I was in awe during this episode. If the first one really got me interested, then this episode sealed the deal. I love this show now, maybe even as much as Kuroshitsuji (another fall show). This show has style AND substance! The mind game was awesome and the fight between Kuro and those 4 zombie samurai made me want to scream "Kuro, I love you!!!". I have a feeling that the end of this episode is going to tie in with the outcome of the series. |
 |
| Holy shit! Just wait until Kuro finds Kuromitsu, dude will probably go batshit crazy after seeing what they done to her, most likely resulting in him killing everyone with extreme prejudice. Followed by angry, crazy sex with her for like... a week. I hope it really happens. |
| Well that was alittle confusing... but I still liked it, I'm gonna keep watching. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| wow, that was intense. i wonder what that mark on benkei's hand meant. probably the symbol of a vampire exterminating clan? tho it seemed like he wanted to kill kuro from the beginning even before he was a vampire. now we are left we him sleeping for several hundred years, i wonder if there is any way of truly killing a vampire in this anime. |
| I think i'll take the time to check this snime out |
 |
| Very nice, this episode was quite intense and the ending left me excited for more:D |

|
| this has been sort of reminding me of ninja scroll artwise a little... i was a bit confused but i want to see more... |
| Wow, I might not have checked this out if someone whose opinion I respect not recommended it, but I am glad I did. The action is wonderful, the animation is full of win and I <3 Kuromitsu. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| lol am surprised no one found him lying on the ground for 100 years! Am interested where this is heading now. If its the future now, will we not see his samurai skills anymore |
 |
| wow freaking awesome episode... one of my favs this season |
    |
| Very confusing episode... especially the first half. Seems like it will be decent now that it has a real plot. |
| episode 2 was great, the fighting scenes was awesome 4/5 for this episode |
| Hmm, I felt kinda left behind at some points but the animation is superb and the ending when he woke up in the dark future (?) was just awesome, makes me want to see the next. |
| A bit too confusing at some points, but it seems like an interesting story. |
   |
| This is quickly becoming my favorite this season! A little confusion here and there never hurt. |
   |
| The first 1/4 of the episode, I thought, was very well done; it looked as if it was heading in the right direction. But once again, it quickly went in the wrong direction. Not a big fan of this series so far...it can till redeem itself though. |
 |
| In the last scene are there destroyed buildings? because it looks like that on the screen on page 1. Just asking because he was walking through a destroyed city in one of the first scenes in ep1. Can kinda predict what happened tho, that guy that stole kuromitsu is now evil and stuff and the main dude wants to save her. etc. |
| the suspense! it's still confusing, but i'm totally sucked in the story my favourite show at the moment |
  |
| Quickie timeline for you guys. The part with Kuromitsu talking to Kuro's head takes place in the Bakumatsu period (Shinsengumi makes it obvious). He's already been beheaded for several hundred years, and I'm assuming the murderer samurai is in fact some sort of Benkei reincarnation. |

I'm surprise the anime follows EXACTLY the narattive structure of the manga, which is completely messed up (i.e. I don't like it) |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The fighting scenes are awesome, and the story was very interesting. Sure, there's a few confusing points, but it's not bad to me. The ending of the epiosde left me excited to watch the next episode. |
| Huh so the actual setting of the show is that of post apocalyptic earth. I'm rather confused as to how Kuro got his body back. The timeline is all messed up at the moment. Oh well hope they explain this more in detail later on and fix the whole humming thing in the background. |
| Wth?? that was really good, im so curious right now PimpToad said: I'm rather confused as to how Kuro got his body back. |

I'm not familiar with Japanese history so that really helped straighten a few things out. It looked like the buildings were destroyed, like something smashed into the middle and after many years it became a lake. I only have one opinion of this episode - EFFING CLIFFHANGERS. D8< |

It seemed to me that whole section was just part of the mind trip to undo the brainwashing that had turned their leader into benkei. I'm pretty sure none of that part before he wakes up in the cave actually happens. |

| For the most part, I loved the first two episodes. I was constantly confused about what was going on with Benkei - one minute he saved the main character, refusing to kill him when offered many chances, and then he seemed to suddenly be on the baddies side. Episode 2 confused me completely, I wasn't sure if Benkei was supposed to be the evil samurai at the start or if the focus just changed to the insanity of his mind randomly. And, talking of Benkei, the guy who Kuromitsu was drinking the blood of in the first episode looked like him...hell, every secondary character seems to have the same design as Benkei! As always with anime at the start, I'm at a loss as to what's going on in terms of story, and the switching between samurai Japan and a post-apocalyptic setting isn't helping me out. Right now, I'm simply focusing on the main character and his relationship with the immortal female lead in order to avoid getting a headache. I'll worry about not understanding the plot at all when I've watched a couple more episodes. Anyway, it's great aside from the plot confusion. The animation looked good; the action was fairly exciting; I want to know more about Kuromitsu, the hot immortal lady and the dark story is what I like to see in my anime. It was a bit odd how quickly the main two wanted to get it on without knowing anything about each other, but I'll just go with the flow and not try to be logical about sexual relations with mysterious women. |
