Nice to see Sugimoto and Aspira back again on their adventure together.

It looks like this episode dealt with more troubles including a dangerous sniper. On the other hand, this episode also contain some entertaining segments like the previous seasons. Wasn't expecting to see some ice skating out in nature lol

Solid start so far and that ED theme song is rather stylish.

HINNA HINNA is back after 2 years! Though the studio change from Geno Studio to Brain's Base makes Season 4 embody the Fumetsu no Anata e feel, while thankfully not much has changed.

It's great to see Sugimoto, Asirpa and the rest of the cast back on their route to scout out the escaped Ogata, Rushin' Outta Russia. But this is where the start of the problems ensues with a lone Russian sniper in disguise out to get Asirpa from last season's Emperor assassination. And the only person whom can subdue him indeed is the Immortal Sugimoto, which he succeeded in, but he is also looking for Ogata. Sugimoto's drawings are so bad, it's funny lols.

Kadokura and Kirawus looking for Hijikata, and there's a rando kid doing ice skating lols. And while their leads ran cold with the silk cocoon, the latter's experiment with one being filled with toxics got straggled with insanely bad luck.

Another season of Golden Kamuy, it's gonna be another wild ride!

I don't like the ending of the comics, but it's still interesting at the stage depicted in this cour/season. It would be another hard-boiled cour like previous one.

Really glad to have this back. Since I am rewatching To Your Eternity currently, I can tell there is a touch of that to how this episode looks given how Golden Kamuy is now being adapted by Brain's Base instead of Geno Studio. But the content was still well-delivered and paced out, which is good to see. Not an amazing episode by any means but it was more than a solid return to this series and setup for what's to come, had a nice time seeing Sugimoto and Vasily try to communicate through their mutual desires to get revenge on Ogata.

Very Solid starting episode to season 4, I was worried a little bit about the studio change but so far everything seems to be going steady right now.

This was more or less a setup episode and I'm very excited to see what comes next as I'm now going to hold off on the manga until this season finishes off because the pacing seems pretty good right now. Comedy is still well delivered for the most part which is great.

OP and ED were both really good as well.

Revenge on Ogata is coming with my boy Sugimoto and the gang heading back on the road towards him.

Another huge return for a show I love. Golden Kamuy the most hidden gem in all of anime has graced us with a new season! Picking up right after the big reunion last season and the confrontation with Ogata. Revealing himself to be the true villain the group should be worried about. Ogata fixated on Asirpa since the secret to the gold map is locked in her memories. Thankfully he's gone for now, eventually he will return but now just getting out of Russia is priority. Running into Vasili the Russian sniper again was cool. He's a good dude he just still thought Ogata and Kiroranke were with the main group. It was really funny seeing Vasili and Sugimoto drawing little doodles to communicate since Vasili was shot through the mouth. This show's comedy I've missed very much.

Even more so with afterwards when we follow Kadokura and Kirawus whom are working for Hijikata and trying to find Hijikata and Ushiyama whom have gone missing. Lots of laughs following these two as they investigate. The story Kadokura told about having to look in assholes was funny, all for nothing. This escaped prisoner who poisons people is pretty crazy. Unless you have really good luck apparently he is very effective. Luckily it seems like Kadokura has impeccable luck even if he doesn't realize it.

Lmao Sugimoto's conversation (if we can call it a conversation XD) with the silent russian sniper... also Kadokura has much more luck than he can think falling on the ice and losing the fish was the best that could happen for me xD Great episode to start the 4th season, I love the comedy as always, also the ending theme is incredible

The GOAT Sugimoto has finally returned with Aspira. Man, I've missed the duo a lot, but it's great to have them back. First of all, the comedy has remained the same so that's a plus point. Gonna laugh my ass off and it sure did with the russian sniper, kadakora with the ice thingy. The opening and ending are both pretty good.

Studio did change but it barely matters when we talking about something like Golden Kamuy.

Never thought there'd be someone who can incapacitate Hijikata, but yeah surprises is like a part and parcel with this series. I hope Tsurumi makes a return soon too. Also yeah that bop opening and amazing ending just the cherry on the cake.

Indeed. Been waiting to see the asterisk panel animated since it came out, lol.The humour of this show is so unique.

I am beyond happy the 4th Season of Golden Kamuy is finally here, it was the first show I felt the need to post on MAL for back in Season 3, and I’ve been following it since the first season back in Spring 2018, it feels great to be back lol. A great first episode too, from being pinned down by sniper fire to drawing and talking about assholes lol, there’s nothing else like this show.

And I’ll say I’m glad we didn’t get much of a recap, love when we’re thrown right back into the action, so far Fall season sequels have been good in that department. And I loved the OP visuals but that song will have to grow on me, it’s good but I was hoping for another rock song, but the ED was without a doubt a jam, love the visuals with the newspaper portraits, very nice, it definitely fits the vibe of all the EDs so far. It’s barely gotten started and I can already say this will be a favorite of mine this season!

The main thing I can say about this opening episode is that I'm glad it addressed one of my few complaints with season 3 by showing that the Russian sniper actually survived his injuries and is now determined to finish what he started with Ogata. And seeing Asirpa and Sugimoto together again after all this time was nice.

Would be kind of disappointing if both Hijikata and Ushiyama were taken out so easily off-screen though.

God I missed GK so fucking much! Loved the episode and I'm glad there's nothing jarring about the studio change.
If anything I'm noticing the OSTs a bit more in this episode so it might even be a positive.

One thing I'll really miss is the amazing way each episode ended in S3... That ending song hitting hard every time and making me super excited for the next week. I hope we can get something like that because S3 was definitely my favorite season.

It feels nice to have Golden Kamuy back again for a fourth season. It has been nearly two years, but the comedy style is as good as ever in this episode. XD

It didn't waste time in getting straight back into the story with the silent sniper already causing an annoyance for the group before Sugimoto put a stop to it, which still had some funny moments with how their conversation went.

Hijikata being incapacitated was rather surprising, though. It makes me wonder of he did this intentionally or not, but either way, the poisoner guy is someone that needs to be dealt with.

The OP visuals look great and the song itself was pretty good, to. The ED combo is rather chill, which I like. Overall, this was a great start to season four and I look forward to seeing how this series will make me laugh at the silly jokes while enjoying the satisfying story. =)

Fall 2022 is half-saved! Now we only have to wait for Mob Psycho III's premiere in a couple more days.

Solid start for this new season. Russian sniper has joined Sugimoto's group and now it seems we will have a side-plot with Hijikata dealing with a new inmate. Really looking forward to that!
