| Holy FUCK the animation goes SO HARDDDDDDD omg this shit was just eye candy throughout the entire episode man I was in awe at every detail in this episode man the artstyle is so good as well it suits this show to a T🔥🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩🔥🔥🔥 The opening goes so fucking hard I love that shit is a BANGER🔥 That one part when the camera was following Tokiyuki when he was running in the house🔥🔥🔥 The animation when Tokiyuki got pushed off the cliff was the best part of this entire fucking episode man the way he was dodging all the samurai and when he climbed the cliff and Yorishige imagining Tokiyuki with those colorful wings gave me such chills man I loved it😫🔥 Yo what’s Gojo (Yorishige) even doing here? Bro got sealed up by Kenjaku and is appearing in different shows like this one and Loser Ranger💀💀💀 Ayo what was with the part where Tokiyuki jumped towards Yorishige?? Ngl idk why but I and others on twitter like that part idk but something about Tokiyuki’s face just does something😭   |

| That went south real fast. I should really read the descriptions of anime before starting them. Amazing art and solid animation but the tone was a bit confusing. I can only imagine it might have flowed better in the manga than the anime. |
 |
| Tokiyuki is adorable and it was pretty horrible to see all of that happiness turn into despair so quickly. But, it seems like he's found his will to live. Pretty animation and amazing storyboards from CLW. Great first episode. |
 |
| Wow such beautiful characters The sudden twist was very bloody but pretty typical for samurai anime. That Suwa guy is way too smiley. Actually the smiles and funny faces are too out of place with this. And they say the word "hero" one too many times... The ending song with this psychedelic bus is crazy. |

| Didn't expect to see heads rolling so soon, and if at all. Definitely made things interesting, but am not exactly sold on the bright colours not only in the art style but in the overall seemingly playful tone. Like everything else, will at least watch another episode or two to get a better grasp for what's in store. Also why during the "hey I could've died" scene, he kinda..... you know what, nevermind |

| Damm, the second half of the episode was brutal. |

Did the young girl who tried to kiss him got SA and killed? This girl? |

| I liked this a lot more than I expected. Tokiyuki was fun to watch running away and evading everyone, he would do well in an Assassin's Creed world with those skills. That betrayal and massacre was very disturbing to see. Now to wait and see how Suwa is going to help Tokiyuki become a war lord. |

| That match cut with the toy ball and the skull was one of, if not the best, tonal shifts I have ever seen. Not just that cut, but everything around it. It's a perfect execution of something that's very hard to pull off well, and creative to boot. Yuuta Yamazaki's the name of the director, and I think he might be a genius. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Shiny pretty visuals, catchy music, fun and games. Also mass beheadings, traitors, dead children. Also comedic blasts and shounen tropes. Also more heads and corpses. Also kamakura rap. Why yes, the hero has to be an orphan AFTER FIVE MINUTES. This has gotta be the most dissonant, fast, psychedelic, based introduction to any show ever. Toriyuki is so incredibly cute he elevated my shotacon self x100 in 0.1 seconds. The fujo bait is abundant right from the start, but Yorishigay sure is creepy. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| The animation deffo hooked me quickly. The premise is also right up my alley. MC seems interesting, I like the idea of him, I just hope the show doesn't do weird things with it. The ball cut to the head caught me off guard. I thought the anime would be more light hearted but after witnessing that I see the theme now. I can't wait to watch more. It got real gory. Ending was also pretty funky. |

release the s2 of ' dress up darling ' already than duds like this clover works  tsk , another quick drop it is |
| holy high quality first episode shoutout all my anime friends watching this rn cuz we are in the awkward between seasons lull and have heard this is great |
| Oh makes sense why it's called the elusive samurai... really solid 1st episode, I love the artistic direction and animation so far, and the concept of a samurai who doesn't fight with physical power but can just escape perfectly and dodge everything is very original so I'm looking forward to seeing what's going to happen next and how he can revenge his clan now |
