Well considering that he is the phoenix dude among the Maniwani, I don't think it's very surprising that his arm could grow back.

Actually the arm didn't grow back....both arm are very different,but I guess you can tell which arm this belongs to (he appeared in episode 6 and died proudly).

He took his arm?! O.o
Ok, Maniwani are something else...

New opening = nice, but i think I liked previous more.

Togame and Shichika are getting pretty familiar with each other, which is good ;)

Shichika finally showing more of his emotion, opinont etc. I like the way he's now :)

Good ep. Waiting for Emonzaemon to finally show his "gloomy" face ;)
(damn, he seems like hiding-his-face bishounen type... I'm so gonna laugh, when he'll turn out to be the most handsome dude in this anime xD)

"Exchaning greetings" with princess - priceless :D

Another damn themesong from Ali Project *bleh*

With her new hairstyle Togame looks so damn sexy, but in a cute way =D
And another loss for Maniwa Corps.

The episode itself was very good
It was a bad idea to laugh about a house when you have its owner next to you.

ALI project is always fine. Like zombies. They fit everywhere.

Great episode, there was some good development and some great action that made up a bit for the previous' one. I just didn't like Shichika's speech very much: it was a bit too long to fit the character, it repeated itself a lot and (as noteDhero said) it was a bit anticlimatic by the end of it, although maybe "I love you" would have been a bit too much.

In the end, nice one for finding out the source of the new arm.


As always, looking forward to the next episode. You know, I pity a little those who will have all the episodes available and (maybe) will watch them in 1-3 days. I think that part of its charm (except the overwhelmingly stated numerology about 12) stays in the fact that we have to wait a month for the next episode. We have time to read the caracters, to understand them, like a dream that comes back once a month.
I'm afraid that I might enjoy Katanagatari less if I watched it at a different pace.

Meh, I couldn't really get into this episode. I still find the relationship between Kogame and Shichika really, really forced. I'll never believe he's in love with her, sry2say.

Just watching this for Emonzaemon now. Oh, and waiting for my guess that Shichika is a Deviant Blade to be confirmed.

ALI Project has only ever been good in Rozen Maiden. And one of the songs on the third Noir OST, but that's different. So yeah, officially RUINED. Wonder if I can splice in the old music with the new animation...

So, the ED was by nomico... thought I recognized the singer's voice.

Byorigou was pretty sweet. The rumor that its appearance was designed after Shikizaki Kiki's past love makes it better. Prolly my favorite so far. Although it's almost kinda lame that the swords have mostly been rather unswordish, individually they've been pretty cool.

Shichika kill Togame's father, He feel sorry for Togame.

Togame made Shichika to kill his own sister, Togame feel sorry for Shichika.

Togame and Shichika has no more family and all alone except themselves .

Love is complicated.

First of all -- wasn't it Shichika's dad that killed Togame's dad?

Anyway, I might be able to believe their relationship is based on pity (as you're implying) if that's the way the show is trying to portray it, but I can't because it's not.

What I was actually referring to was the episode a couple of months back (ep 5 or before?) whenever Shichika first randomly says that he's fallen for Togame, without any indication up to that point that he had any interest. So yeah, I've thought their relationship was forced from the start. (Togame says: "Fall for me!" Shichika says: "Okay!" and does.)

Whatev, like I said, I don't watch this show for their "relationship".

Opps my mistake .LOL didn't notice that.
I thought the relationship advance alot in this episode due to Nanami's death.
So yeah, I've thought their relationship was forced from the start. (Togame says: "Fall for me!" Shichika says: "Okay!" and does.)

because Togame don't want to be betray by Shichika because Togame has been betray by the person who is possessed by money and fame.

The relationship of Shichika and Togame start to advance during episode 3, when Shichika kill Meisai without mercy.There is only a small difference of dialogue change after that,and a little change of atmosphere when they two look at each other,nothing much happen after that.
What I was actually referring to was the episode a couple of months back (ep 5 or before?) whenever Shichika first randomly says that he's fallen for Togame, without any indication up to that point that he had any interest.

Sweet memory LOL .are you refering Azekura Kanara (the armour guy) in episode 5?.He fall in love of Togame in the first sight ,and Shichika became jealous .This episode made Shichika realize that how important Togame is when her heart was stolen by some big guy .
I hope this explain your problem.Well,its a one month Anime,even I am slowly forgetting the story from the Novel.

Anyway, the relationship are also an important part of the story as well.
the owner and the sword's relationship .That is why this Anime is called "sword story"
Later on Togame in dunno what episode....her real name will be reveal and it will provide plot in episode 3.
As in this episode, HiteiHime. The word "Hitei" means "denial" ...not much meaning in the plot story right now. yet....
Next episode is Outou Nokogiri No much action compare to this episode, but next episode is my favorite part in the Novel.

I have to question whether this is quality animation or if she genuinely just never wears underwear.

Since Katanagatari is pseudo-historical she probably just don't wears underwear; japanese women started wearing underwear only after the 2nd world war.

LOVED this episode. Umigame's personality surprised me, him dieing did not. Emonzaemon is pretty damn cool as well and lol Houou has a new arm, thanks for pointing out whose it was btw. I was hoping he would do something about that soon. I seriously love that guy. Of course, he's sure to die eventually (like the past Maniwani...) and when he does, I'll be really sad :(

Not a bad episode. I think I'm more happy with the fact that Shichika is showing more emotion. Definitely not as flat as a character as he use to be.

Awesome episode as always. Though I think Shichika's personality made too big a jump between last ep and this one compared to the rest of the series so far. But such a small problem really isn't a problem at all.

Great episode the concept of the robot doll being the sword was quite interesting, and ended quite nicely! We also got a new Op and Ed so sadly that means we won't see her having her long hair back sadly enough! It will take some time to get used to it but it will be fine in the end!

Still great episode, love how the story progresses!

They are so cute together, I like how they tease each other :)

As expected, the pair of guns really are a "sword" (though it was kind of obvious coming from its name and silhouette from the first episode).

This was probably my least favorite sword so far. I liked the idea of both the armor one and the guns, but somehow I found this to be pretty meh imo :/

Btw, the new OP is also meh, the first one was much better (which I've found good).
