No thread for this? Wow.

I'm liking it. Either it's a good show, or it's a really good change of pace for me being that it's so different from everything I've been watching recently.
I think Kenshin's character could be a little more bad ass looking, even though he's a nice guy at heart.

lol I know I'm SUPER late and you've probably finished the series now (or at least a billion gazillion eps ahead of me), but this episode is cool. I couldn't really understand the Japanese word for ugly though. Do you know?

Another awesome ep from the greatest 90s anime ever. Even if I generally dislike seeing something twice, this is just too awesome for me to not enjoy re watching. :D

The way Kenshin owned Gasuke "the Manslayer" with the tsuka of his sword... epic :D

Meeehhh not that good :/

But it feels a lot like Hunter x Hunter, the animation and the "feels"

Terrible OST though :P

Kenshin talks so funny, yet I love it.
Looks like we got introduced to a new character, I don't like him so much though.-

That kid sure is a little brat. At the same time, he surely had a hard time with these thugs. They deserve more than what Kenshin gave them... They could have called the cops, goddamnit!

Watching Kaoru fight was funny for some reasons. The animation lacked a bit right there... But you know, for a 90s anime serie, I can definitely understand.

Wonderful episode I must say, great combination of comedy and action as well as general story development! Let's see what happens next.

I don't care what others said about Kenshin's voice. I always love his voice. Suzukaze Mayo did a great job voicing Kenshin.
I used not to like Yahiko, but he's kinda likable for me now. A kind-hearted Tsundere.
RK has some of the best OSTs. The one used in ep#1 & 2 is just one of them, more to go.

This episode really got going once Kenshin showed up to save the day, but it was a little lacking before that. I felt like the characters were just moving in circles making threats and telling each other to stop. It seemed kind of silly. I think Kenshin's musick really pushed the episode to work though.

Lighthearted and wholesome, a sweet story it seems, contradicts the OVA so much haha, it's crazy really. I don't mind it like this though, his past belongs to the dark days of his life.

I think thief/pickpocket characters are cool. I hope that kid shows off some more trickery.

I like the soundtrack, but I don't like Kenshin's voice at all.
I hope it gets better or I get used to it, but when comedy arrives, his voice sounds too stupid.
