Ah... tehutehu is actually pronounced as "chouchou". that's ancient Japanese spelling. these are the things that is teached in Japanese junior high or highschools... so I think it's natural you didn't know it |

| Well at least I don't have to suffer through the novels and can move on to read other Nishio works some time in the future when I'm finished with other things from my book-pile. (YEAH for not heaving to read the 20-40 page introduction anymore) Somehow I can't quite catch the magic behind Katanagatari...it really shows that the plot was written in a 1 book a month rythm. I just hope critics and a friend of mine are wrong and this wasn't the best out of all the volumes...but I can imagine it, because just like them, I can't seem to see Togame and Shichika as interesting characters. Nanami on the other hand was great. |

| The best episode thus far wasn't even about the main characters... I did not expect Nanami to be a sadistic monster... |
| Not what I was expecting whatsoever, but that was pretty bad ass, as I wasn't really expecting the stone cold killing when she first started (though I did expect her to be able to fend for herself), I thought there would be actual questioning. I liked the way they tried to humanise the Maniwa dudes to make her seem even more cold. I thought that this was probably the most entertaining episode so far as well, though I did miss the main characters. Also weak collarbones. And poor bee dude. |
 |
| Wow! this episode was pure awesomeness. I truly loved Nanami sadistic side, hope to see her more often in the next episodes. |
| Man, Nanami was some scary stuff. Kind of annoyed how they bragged on and on about the main characters epic history-making battle without showing a minute of it. Kind of rubbing it in our faces. Also: Onsen scene with the two main characters naked next episode? They're really trying to kick off their "relationship" aren't they? |
 |
| i feel that i was trolled |
 |
Netforce said: i feel that i was trolled Almost reminds you of Endless Eight, doesn't it? |
| |
| in a way im disappointed but in another way im not, seeing Nanami like that was awesome but not seeing the main characters fight was sad =[ and next months episode looks just as good as this weeks argh and so the wait begins again till next month >.< |
 |
| Nanami can learn a tecnique by watching it.... let's hope they explain why. Best episode so far. |
  |
| This episode was WAY better than I thought it would be, although I pretty much got trolled for the preview of it. |

Navarr said: I don't think that they will show a lot explicit...one of the things about Togame in the 1st episode was they never made it too much or too little during one nude scene and I liked that fact so in this onsen I hope it will be fine.....other than that action packed episode! Time for some GIFs! These will be nice.....to put on my profile.Also: Onsen scene with the two main characters naked next episode? They're really trying to kick off their "relationship" aren't they? |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Hahahaha ... Nanami, you rulez ! |

| TROLLED by the last episode preview LOL. So it kept the format of the book LOL. The author is TROLLING us. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Wth, they trolled us xD But I'm actually glad they did; the same formula over and over again is not going to work, and that really was like some fresh air xP Nanami managed to seriously creep the hell out of me a few times there x__x |

| Namani was a real badass! Disliked the trolling though. But the episode was still pretty cool. |

Maximatum99 said: This episode was WAY better than I thought it would be, although I pretty much got trolled for the preview of it. Agreed. Since the fight scenes here are very short, guess the preview at ep3 was the whole fight for the 4th sword. Lol at Togame ticklish at the collarbone but nice service there. So Nanami has Sharingan? She can practically use whatever techniques and skills she sees. She's so powerful and talented that her father doesn't want to make her stronger. I like her, easily fools you with her innocent look then gets all sadistic like that. We still have some short fights but there are 3 fights so it's okay. Next episode is a big armor dude? This keeps getting better and better. |

| Togame picked the wrong person from the start... Can you imagine Nanami with the skills of the first 4 sword holders + Kyoutouryuu... Fear the one that can use both the sword and fight bare-fisted..... without breaking into sweat. |
 |
| Lol so they never show the fight scene for shichika? oh well just as good. |
| Furious! I really wanted to see the fight in the preview T.T |
 |
| Something I really like though, is how they actually make it so that for example, this episode plays out in April, while the last episode was a month earlier in the story, and so on : p Collarbone. Weak stuff. xD And I still find it funny that the shogunate is named 'Owari'. Kinda makes it seem.. Not too powerful xD... Shichika's sister.. Is.. Awesome~ ..But somehow creepy O.o She's so awesome~ Somehow disappointed that we didn't get to see Shichika's fight with that Sabi dude : < Though I'm somehow suspecting Shichika might have to fight his sister somewhere in the end : | That would be... So.. Odd... But it seems kind of logical to me D: (Here's to hoping I'm wrong though : D) |

Navarr said: Netforce said: i feel that i was trolled Almost reminds you of Endless Eight, doesn't it? but you didn't feel so bad about it did you? never has a show deceived you and loved it...at least that's how i felt. i really hope they do show us the fight eventually. i wasn't sure who to feel bad for though. those insects were really wiped out by their own moves at that. i swear nanami has the sharingan. |

| Im thinking about dropping it after this horrible episode. Sabi was the most interesting 12 sword holder intoduced so far in the story. Then they go and blow him off like he wasnt even in the show. I could care less about his sister and the boring fights she had with the ninja. Her type of character has been done a 100 times before. They ruined the series for me with the troll job they did at the end of episode 3. Then they make the main character's talk about the fight for 5 minutes just to add more salt to the wound. |

| Hmm, the most spectacular drop in my collection. Apart from great visuals and sound this series was mediocre at best. This episode was the final nail in the coffin. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| I've never been so terrified of a little girl than I am now. (only other time was F.E.A.R) I can see Nanami being a future enemy somehow, she obviously has some deep deep hatred for her brother.. I guess we'll see. |
| Nee-chan is seriously scary, I can't imagine what kind of damages she could do if she joined Shichika and Togame. Well, overall the direction was great and as inexpected as this episode could be, it was quite brilliant. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Nanami is scary as shit. She's more terrifying than all the Yandere's in anime combined. |
rific said: I'm not 100% sure though if it can really be classified as hatred for her brother though. Would make more sense if it'd be hatred for their father, for not letting her become the head of the family.she obviously has some deep deep hatred for her brother.. Since, she has after all helped Shichika during all those years, right? Tl;dr I didn't really feel like she's actually hating Shichika at all.. : | |

| I love being trolled. TROLL ME HARDER AHHH HARDER PLEASE OH FUCK YEAH |
 |
| Boring as...as previous 3 episodes. I guess it would be better if it was 25 minutes long. |
| This is the first time in a long time I felt a shiver ran through my spine. |

| nanami has the sharingan! XD but i also wanted to see the other duel. :( awesome episode. |
| Was expecting some sweet action based from the last episode's preview, but they didn't even show the fight, lol. But it was enjoyable watching Nanami own the shit out of those guys, so it's all good. Damn, Nanami is scary! |
 |
| I had to watch the preview of ep 3 to be satisfied with the ep 4. Man was really hoping for that fight. |
