| Yeah Its hard to follow, but it still appealing and quite addictive. Yeah animation was sweet, and I was hoping for some Kenshin-style sword action, but I guess maybe they want to be a bit more serious and real-time. |
 |
| Not really that hard to follow is it? Another anime done "Tarrentino Style" :3 |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Was a nice episode, hard to follow in a few places but I think that was mostly due to the pacing of this anime as it seems rather slow. Not a big fan of that aspect but its still a good watch so far. |
  |
| With my background/interests, this show is REALLY heavy on me. The animation's great though. |
 |
| Nice episode. The story seems a little hard to follow, though. Also, that old man (their Sensei?) pissing himself was so weird =S |
| Remind me never to join that dojo? Ever? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |

| Tarantino's seemed to have patented the fractured narrative all by himself. I really disliked Kill Bill. He's not a bad director at all, but his dependance on homaging everything is frustrating. Just wasting his skill. Seriously, just stop me if I even head in the direction of that dojo. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Intriguing, but I'm still way in the dark. |
| I really enjoy the symbolic shots and the style of the animation. I think the narration style suits this anime really well. So far I really love this anime. |
     |
| Im getting really confused with all the bun-heads and pony-tail freaks. I can't tell who is who anymore .. I like the atmosphere of this though. |
Beatnik said: Tarantino's seemed to have patented the fractured narrative all by himself. I really disliked Kill Bill. He's not a bad director at all, but his dependance on homaging everything is frustrating. Just wasting his skill. I believe the idea is that he borrows from things because he loves movies, and he wants to make movies that speak the "language of film," which, to him, means a revenge flick starring a woman in Bruce Lee's yellow and black outfit slashing people to pieces while "Flower of Carnage" from Lady Snowblood plays is movie heaven. He takes iconic images from pulp, exploitation, and cult classics and stews them in a pot of awesome. Admittedly it doesn't always work quite as well (I liked Kill Bill Vol. 1 a lot more than Vol. 2), but I like his overall approach. There were people making films with fractured narratives long before he ever did, but he certainly popularized it. As he did with many other things that had been done in film before. So anyway, Shigurui is certainly an interesting change of pace. |
| I'm really enjoying this so far it's somehow relaxing to watch in a weird way :-) |
| W-what the fuck...? |

| This is an hilarious anime. In a similar Kaiji way of hilarious. Enjoying it a lot. |

| This is so weird. AND I LOVE IT! 5/5 As expected from Madhouse. |
| Its a bit confusing but I am extremely intrigues so far. This reminds me of Basilsk which is a good thing to say the least. I love the senile dojo sensie. He just stands there looking all dazed and then whips out that crazy bean cutting technique then stands there and pisses himself. The look on Mr. Lipstick was priceless. |
| Its one of those anime which you gotta give 100% attention at all times or else you're gonna lose important information.. Very tiring to watch but also rewarding! |
| Interesting yet creepy development! Especially that ending! |
 |
| im so confused! >,< well then again I've been paying attention more to my phone than the actual episode lol |
| More suspense It seems that that sensei guy is almost dead It was interesting, the way that guy wielded that large clever like sword, reminded me of something out of Dark Souls or Demon's Souls |
 |
| Too much flashback and art isn't that great , let's see next ep. |
 |
| What the fuck.... why did he even piss himself? this is so weird Also i dont like how poor in colour this anime is, makes me think I have poor eyesight. But the animation is great as well as the directing is unique. |
| Old people pee themselves, happens. Anywho, this show is suspensful and gripping, let's keep at it. |
| I am thoroughly confused, I don't know what's going on. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| It was a little hard ta follow since I can't tell most characters from each other (damn that samurai clone hairstyle) but I think I knew what happened. It starts off with the Kogan dojo doin' chores with Broken Finger Fujiki struggling with his condition. Flashback to what happened during the fight with Ushimata and Seigen. Seigen in waiting room for student audition while thinking of fucking Kogan's daughter. Flashback further back to 6-finger Kogan's early days. Bean initiation with Seigen and husk Kogan commence. Woo forced muscle expansion looked awesomely disturbing. I didn't know it was beans before they gave a closeup @_@ Kogan is a fuckin' husk compared to his old days, pissing himself and looking like a walking corpse but, damn. That skill! |
 |
| thats.... a dojo?.... o_o |
| This isn't an anime. This is a window into Hell. Everything, from how it looked to how it sounded, made me uncomfortable. 5/5 |
| Dementia and urinary incontinence often go hand in hand. Despite his state,Iwamoto still manages to show some skills. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Better then the first episode. It's slowly peaqued my interest but I'm still not quite on board. One issue I have with it involves the lighting. It's a little too dark (not toneally of course, this show is obviously intended for a specific audience) and it could stand for a bit of coherency, but my initial view is changing just a bit for the better. |
| Big fan of Anime/Manga, Bigger fan of Wrestling, Biggest fan of Music |
| I legitimately have no idea what is going on still, oh well. |
 |
| I'm all for weird. I'm totally digging the vibe for this episode. Is it just me or do their eyes look extremely creepy? oh and that whole bean scene at the end with the zombified sensei was kind of strange. |
 |
| God, I hate the lighting in this anime. Would it kill them to have a little light every now and then? I get it, it sets the tone of the show, but it's pretty ugly to look at constantly. |
