We get Toshizou performing for the crowd. Heck, I think Sakamoto might even be impressed there and that says a lot.

Was hoping to see some rock this week, unfortunately it was all heavens song.

BTW: Oxygen mask..... make it that much hardcore, too bad there wasnt much awesomeness in the preformance..... you could say..... it fell.... flat!.....
Anyway it felt anti-climatic and the sound seemed kinda weak, especially at the glowing swords part. (need more crowd power)

The audience are extremely ridiculous; almost seems like they're being manipulated by some sort of charm.
> "If you want to hear our song, be quiet!" *Audience instantly calms down* "No! Don't be quiet!" *Audience's cheering intensifies* XD

Shinsengumi's songs were nice though. Way better than the previous ones.

Teem Ryouma finally takes a liking to them. Hope we see some good rivalry based performances soon.

Average episode. Kondo-san sure is enthusiastic about Shinsengumi, but what's his personal goal?

I know right, that part was so...weird. As well as the part where Okita goes, "Do you want me to cut you down?!" And the audience goes "Yes kill me" or something.

Was an okay episode, I kind of want to see the ridiculous trio rock out again though. I was expecting Katsura to awaken the Peace Soul this episode, but I guess not. But next episode will be about him apparently.

Nice episode, not enough rock though!

Am I the only one who finds the Shinsegumi's music lame and that there is something disturbing about the fans yelling "Kill Us!" in the middle of the show?!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

nothing really happened in this episode but the most funny thing about all this is that idk why i keep coming back to watch the trio rock out lmao. Didn't happen here though which made everything pointless. Somehow i feel more confused about where this story is going because it seems like they will actually end up joining the group?? They don't seem so rebellious towards the whole scene anymore or who knows maybe they are falling under some type of spell or charm like someone mentioned above. Didn't Cindy have a huge grudge towards anything government-like?? how easy is he to charm so quickly. yo when they came out with those lightsabers i sort of lost it cuz what the hell.

You know, every time I hear Okita Souji saying, "Do you want me to cut you?", I'm reminded of Gintama's Okita (Because that Okita is a sadist, and he always wants to "kill" Hijikata). :P

Anyway, at least there wasn't CGI in this episode.

No new song :( but a full performance of last weeks interrupted one :O

Those big lightstick/ light sabers were awesome XD
I wouldn't be surprised if Okita really did cut them to death :O
I think Okita really those have a disease like the real Okita had :O

Katsura next time :)

?
I thought it was obvious from last episode that the song itself is used to manipulate the people who hear it, it's probably because of the peace soul's influence.

That was an insane schedule they worked on, even the people who were putting it all together had it rough. xD I was laughing when the girls were screaming for the Shinsengumi to kick and kill them.

Hnnnggg this show is so much fun to watch XD Great songs as always and awesome performance! Though I do think their voices are a bit too tuned :( Still though, the song is pretty awesome. Hopefully we'll get to hear some different ones too :3 Not surprised how much work they put into it and prepping everything :P Oxygen mask during their 1min break too ... how intense does it get?! XD
So Ryoma and them end up working there for some money ... honestly, he's a little TOO energetic and into playing for everyone, but whatever works I guess XD Wouldn't it be such a twist if they ended up joining the Shinsengumi? :P Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that Hijikata and Okita have the other two Souls I think. Some more background info on Kondo too, who was a big name back in the day ...
Anyway, looks like we'll be getting our obligatory bath/hot spring episode next?! XD Even this show isn't immune to it ... well, not that I'm complaining, really! ;P

It honestly took me about 6 hours to finish this episode. I kept pausing and doing/watching other stuff.
.__.

I wanted to keep watching in the hopes that they would team up with the Shinsengumi (like the ED implies ?) but at the same time it's such a chore that I want to drop it.

Uhhh.

The only fanservice we get is in the ED. -.-

Anyway, okay episode. Not really into the Heaven's type of music. That song is getting hella repetitive.

lol the mix of modern and edo still throws me off sometimes
starting to favor the shinsengumi over the the main three characters
the idol documentary thing was actually pretty realistic (training and stuff) as well as how a concert goes

love the music though~
still hanging on to this series through the seiyuus and music
fav character so far for me is Souji :D

I still don't care what people think, I'm loving this too much.

When the trio went to the stage to rock, it was so hard to continue playing because of the second-hand embarrassment, seriously.

Souji and Hijikata's voices are really amazing, it's just too bad they're autotuned. I like their voice at the past episode where they sang with Ryo. That was seriously so better, although it had only been a small part. But still, I can't wait for those two to sing without back-up vocals.

Was also looking forward to another song, but I guess it's also nice to see the somehow full-ish song. That "Do you want me to cut you?" part was hilarious. Amazing lightstick work though, I wonder if that is possible in real concert.

I still quite don't get Kondo Isami, on whether he is a good guy or not. I mean, he seems good, but like, not to the point of supporting the trio's rock? ;;;

Also don't get Souji, too. How come he can apparently "perform his heart out" if he thinks of his fans as worthless creatures? But so far, he's my fav chara. I always loved them Souji's. I hope he won't get a real disease like the real Souji. XD

Hopefully, we get another song next episode since I guess Sensei's peace soul is next. More J-rock!! And hmm, I'm guessing we're getting that Mirage Over next for Heaven's Song, too...?

What a boring episode. The best part was the singing, and even then it was only a somewhat more energetic version of a (pop) song we heard before.

Thinking of dropping this or putting it on hold. Too many good shows this season that hit the right balance of funny and goofy. Maybe I'll save it for when there's a lack. :I

Watching the Shinsengumi train their dance move was funny, and they were supposed to be protecting the Edo's peace.

Are they going to keep using this song until the end? Ehh..

i keep forgetting this is about the past and miss details like the camera and the tv documentary.
i'm still having a blast. it's probably one of those shows you forget as soon as it ends, but it's fun as long as i'm still on it.
