Gah... As a Smash Bros fan, I wanted more 3-band battle. That was too short.

And the Ryoma's message... duh...

I liked it. Although, I am still having a bit of trouble following the characters and remembering their names. I really need to brush up on my Japanese history...I have no idea what is going on here.

I neither expected the message to turn out like this, but w/e. Currently Soutetsu seems like the most interesting character for me. I can't really predict what he'll next :?

I appreciate the narration explaining what's going on in Japan, "Legend Of Galactic Heroes-lite" style, but I am annoyed by the long flashbacks to stuff we've already seen in earlier episodes without anything being added. Sometimes, it's normal for a serial show to do this, but what was added to the story in the final words flashback? They could have just left it as the final words being passed next to the sea.

I'm being severly critical of a relatively minor fault, but if they want to create something of high quality, they need to be careful not to have padding.

I am enjoying the show anyway and am looking forward to seeing how this play/turmoil ends.

Good episode, turns out the gunman is a spy for Britain, also loved how the play turned, I love this aspect in the series,
Ibaragi is really the most mysterious man in the whole series, looking forward how Akizuki will do his part in the play.
