It's back.

First episode is what I expected with the girls and some action. Not too much to say but dat ED song; those imagery and super deformed versions of the characters. That's something right there. Some of the soundtrack were okay as well. It's been awhile since I've seen this.

The version that was aired on AT-X which is a cable channel was not. But the one aired on network channel was.

Anyway, I find the new season uses considerably less sumi in the sakuga, thus reducing quite a bit of the classical Japanese feel that was so rich in the past season, and I think it is a shame.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

The dark samurai girls were badass, and kicked Muneakira and the girls asses quick and proper.

Apparently Jubei's samurai alter ego who comes out from the kiss is gone from the battle from last season and Muneakira has 1 month to get her back or he loses his General powers.

The dark samurai girls actually seemed sorta friendly, the one girl even coming back to the cafe the next day for an omelette. Comedy was fairly decent as well. Not a bad start.

Well the only available one for me was from AT-X and it was uncensored, so looks like that's what fansubs are going for anyway.

As for the episode, it was great, the dark samurai girls are strong as hell, can't wait to see more from them, enjoyed s1, hope this one won't disappoint as well.

The story takes place in Japan in the early 21st century, in an alternate reality where the Tokugawa Shogunate has remained in power.

If I didnt read the synopsis for the first season I would have been confused too

No one caught that moment when Sen slams into the ground and Hanzo shouts "ONII-sama"?


I can't believe I'm still continuing to watch such an awful show like this, but I'm hooked to the art style.

I love how it makes them out as "dark" samurai but they are pretty dang tame. They may be strong but dark... eh.

I am not a fan of the art style as some are. I think just like in the last season they will over utilize the splotches.

Yes, she did. I rewatched it about 2 months ago.

There was a timeskip though. So maybe we'll get a flashback to how she came back.

Nope.
The artstyle is the best thing in this show, but the characters, comedy and action are good in their own right.

But you're right. All females should be pure and not use their beautiful bodies for money.

They changed the end of the frist series for the blu-ray release, at the end Jubei reappears the same way as she did when first appeared, would have made sense to show it as a little recap at the start though.

The BD release has a different ending that answers your question ;)

Basically She falls alive from the sky into Muneirika arms in that version, so the show didn't fail.

Thanks for that useful bit of info. I watched the blob censored version and didn't bother with the blu-ray version. I guess I'll just rewatch the final episode again.

This was actually a pretty solid episode, made fun of moe a little and also went into explaining the reason for it and even throws in some light economics lol. Good stuff... I imagine I'll have a hard time reading the next chapter of Vagabond though.

My favorite bit was when Musashi looks at Juubey and there is something wrong in the air vibes goes on, I was expecting the katana swinging to start there instead of "moe moe kyun kyun" lol ^_^

Best part of this episode.

I guess from the first seconds of the episode we can assume that D'Artagnan and the Tokugawa production Master Samurais we beaten into a pulp by the four dark Samurai. According to history Yaguu Juubei went missing for about 4 years to perfect his training, Muneirika better pray it doesn't take that long.

It will be funny to see the Tokugawa steal Muneirika reward at the end of this season AGAIN lol

Ah, thanks for clearing it up for me. Either way, I'm not going to be following this show seeing how I thought season one was mediocre at best. And knowing that they had to pull a deux ex machina out of their ass to revive Jubei for no apparent reason doesn't help to change my impression for the better.
