| Not going to lie, I think the Oni (especially the one from this episode) looks insanely dangerous. Kojirou's father gave him some really interesting advice about pride and the way of the Bushi in that flashback. Looks like he took those words to heart in the present timeline. Musashi also showed a lot of pride in this episode and I believe that's part of his character personality. What an action packed episode but storytelling needs to improve imo. |
 |
| Oh yeah the usual katana = bushi's soul (xD) so Musashi really had to take it back from the Kishin, but well seems like there is another group of Bushi that is fighting oni, but the main duo won't give up os easily, of course. |
 |
| Pretty good action-packed episode. That Kishin was quite creepy! I also like that bike, although everyone else hates it, lol. |

| This follow up episode was full of action already and moved at a fairly slow pace overall with some flashbacks inserted too for Kojiro unsurprisingly. Another formulaic and uninspired episode as a whole, action wasn't terrible but given how this aired a few days after what I got from Demon Slayer with ufotable at the helm, A.C.G.T's work here doesn't really do anything for me here and not like there's other unique elements to this series. Not much to comment on in the story department since this was mostly bland and full of action anyway, the next few episodes should improve on that on paper. Still am not a fan of the bikes/flying bikes that are in this series, they feel really off in a setting like this to me. |
| Fighting against that Kishin sure took everything out of Kojiro, but Musashi being there at that time definitely brought things in their favor. But well it wasn't the end, as lot of Bushi's, apparently a Bushi band coming down there with that flashy entrance, did the last act. Also got to see captain of that Bushi band too. |
 |
| After an action packed episode I'm almost certain that this season won't reach any heights beyond decent, especially not within 12 epsiodes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This episode was okay from the animation and the oni looks not so bad( my opinion). That Musashi set his life for the katana from his best friend not going to lie it’s not so bad. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| at least is fast paced, 80 pages per episode, i expected worse from the kishin animation, it was decent. |
| This was just eh. The Oni looked scary and disgusting tho. I don't know how Musashi came back unscathed after taking a dip in gastric juices of the Oni. They better introduce the girl from the ED soon, its already feeling very generic, the power of friendship trope has gotten pretty boring at this point and seems like this anime is gonna focus on it a lot. I'm not feeling much emotions while watching this either. This anime is not emotiomally impactful at all. But when Kojiro was getting beat up by the Oni for not releasing his Katana, it was pretty brutal man, felt kinda bad for him. Also I don't like our MC as of now, I like Kojiro more. |

| This second episode is not an improvement. For anyone who thought the bike was out of place from last episode, we now have even more of them. So far it all feels so bland, the battle was just really dumb with the kishin literally doing nothing as he has his stomach torn apart. I really dont have much positive to say so far, just not a very interesting show, atleast not yet. |
 |
| Very unremarkable show |
| Samurais = Cool Motorcycles = Cool Samurais on motorcycles = FUCKING COOL AS FUCK!!! |
| Well, I'm out. 90% of the shows this season seem so bland/uninspired and lacking anything that pops, be it the art or animation. |

| Kojiro is at the cusp of being a Bushi, whie Musashi stil believes in being one to fight against the Kishin evolving into actual monsters. Kojio's backstory of a family born with Bushi blood, he's had enough of society belittling him in an era where the Bushi didn't matter as much, but it was for the purpose of peace, and as such with the personalized Katana as a Bushi's pride. Kojiro may have lost his pride and valour, but this didn't apply to Musashi whom put his life as a sacrifice to get Kojiro's katana back and regain his commitment. The Takeda band of Bushi led by Takeda Naotora, his band will help Musashi and Kojiro in the long run, just not now just yet. Sadly, A.C.G.T's production values hadn't improved much. Still can't get over the inclusion of motorbikes in the Warring States era wiith the bands of Bushi. Putting this on-hold for now... |
 |
| As a result of their views and family Kojiro and Musashi sure had a tough life growing up. Interesting in that the Kishin was actually just a capsule that hid its main body prior to its powerup. Its 2nd form was much more benefitting of a boss. Though he is clumsy it was pretty impressive seeing Musashi get through his ordeal like it was nothing. The Takeda's entrance into the fray though was damm impressive. But the new insight into the Kishin showed well just how much they underestimated it. Brash as he is im curious to see to what heights Musashi's rage is able to take him too. Also looking forward to seeing the kind of tactics the Takeda will be using as well. |

| Great episode! The Kishin looked really scary and dangerous once it ate that gold ore substance. Musashi saved Kojirou's sword which was nice to see and a Buji band came out of nowhere looking awesome and ready to fight that Kishin... Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Slightly better than the previous episode. The monster design improved by 100% for sure. Well, I still don't like their base forms which is just so unfitting. Also, the bikes? What the hell are they doing there.. Anyway, a band of Bushi's finally appeared to rescue the miners. Seems like they'll be joining them sooner or later. |

| The episode was a little boring, but it was necessary for Kojiro's character building. I think those people who appeared at the end of the episode will invite Musashi and Kojiro to join their group. |

| first half was not that interesting until that squad appeared. Im now looking forward to this. |

| I've pretty much loved both episodes so far, it's true I am easy to please with any action/fantasy based stories and get to appreciate nearly any sort of work/anime but I can't really understand why the anime and the manga of it is getting so much hate overall. Well, perhaps everyone has different taste which is completely alright. For me Orient really scores high so far! |
"Okay so the first night is never usually that bad in any of the games so I'll play through-" -Markiplier  |
| Musashi was pretty brave and bold but that ain't enough. All the developments in this episode were cliche and boring. |
 |
| even worst than the first. you basically bathe in a pool of acid that can disolve swords but you are ok. I would have understood if he hd a coating of dirt or if he washed right after, but in this condition... extremely unrealistic |
| Mostly an action-packed episode with the MCs taking on the Kishin, but the momentum of the fight was interrupted a lot by the flashbacks. That definitely messed with some of my enjoyment. I'm honestly surprised and equally impressed that the Kishin wasn't full CGI, I expected that to be the case tbh. And lmao this dude Musashi really fell into stomach acid and walked out unscathed 💀 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I guess motorcycles are gonna be a thing in this anime. I thought the episode was pretty good, I don't think it will score well on MAL that's for sure. I wonder what their band will look like at the end of the season. |
 |
| should i continue watching this? i am not sure honestly i generally like generic shonen but idk the score is only 6.26 and thats very low |
| The fight was very lackluster and all we got was a bunch of flashbacks about how the sword is important to the Bushi. However things started to pick up when the Takeda band showed up so hopefully things would be a little more interesting next episode. |
 |
| People are way too hard on this show, everyone has come to accept being force fed trash harems and trash isekai but low tier shounen is unacceptable? This is a really fun, watch in awe of its wtfness for 20 minutes a week. We need a break from the Demon Slayers and the Attack on Titans too! Now if they just wouldn't be shy and go full BL with it, it'd win some awards for originality among the tropes. |
| I doubt this anime will amount to anything more than bottom of the barrel shounen. |

| haha it was a bit good episode! Takeda bushi was somewhat cool and their Captain must be capable huh.. 4/5. |

| Orient is the successor to Kimetsu no Yaiba no doubt. Eventually it will surpass it, this is a hidden gem. |
