lol~ two young guys interested in sumo!!

Evil leader's evil doing again, and Hijikata needs to take care of it again. Even the miko is thinking about killing him. Evil leader in pain (with a hint of losing memory, but still remembers, it seems), and Kazama appearing!! He knows that he's sick.

The gov. knows that it was evil leader who was trouble-making that made Shinsengumi bad. For once, they and the evil leader are in one thought, to protect the gov. And officially "Shinsengumi" was named by the gov.

Two rasetsu were made in secret while they were celebrating, and they escaped next ep.

Really can't stand Serizawa's behaviour T_T

Even though it was brief, it was nice seeing Kazama again XD

I'm puzzled. I can't tell if Serizawa is really a bad guy. At first I thought he was evil itself, but now... I don't know....
I wonder what does he have... He looks like he lost his mind for a moment...
And Chikage appeared! I was so happy! I missed him soooo much! I didn't think he would be making his appearance in the reimeiroku. Anyway, he's wonderful as always.
Finally they became Shinsengumi.
I can't stand Niimi anymore. He just have to die!
Looking forward to the next episode

And this is how the Shisengumi get their name.

Old Man Serizawa begins to lose his shit like a dementia patient...Hot Baddie that showed up in season one appears and is basically 'lol you're sick and you're gonna die' while S is all 'Look at all the fucks I give'.


Nothing much other than Serizawa's lover appears again and for one second almost kills him.

The Aizu gov or whomever that was basically knows that it's Serizawa's fault that people are scared shitless of them. A bunch of Japanese politcis happen that I have no clue about and then everyone parties. Cutie pie Saito looks like a kid nervous about making the top of the class, as he talks to Ryuunosuke while everyone's partying. Hiji and Kondou chat too.

And more demons escape which is probaly next week. Two more weeks to go...

Considering this shows track record when it comes to its characters, I will be really, really shocked if Ryuunosuke manages to survive somehow.

So this is only a 12-episode season? That means I will probably cry in the next fortnight. ;-;
I like Ryuunosuke, but I admit his survival is...unlikely. Otherwise he would have been in the other Hakuouki seasons.

I was a bit confused at the ending. One scene, then fire, then the end. WTF?
The preview made me think the fire was where the furies were? (The fire itself looked lots bigger than the ruin in the preview though.)

Shinsengumi are finally Shinsengumi (sounds weird, but you know what I mean) and Kazama (yesss~ I missed his voice) appears.
I agree with AngelAngela, I hated Serizawa at the beginning, but now I feel kind of sorry for him, despite his behaviour. I'm also curious about his relationship with Oume.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

Somewhat glad to see there are other people oscillating on feelings with Serizawa as well. I think I mentioned for the previous episode that at the start I thought he was good already but then those feelings slowly faded until now. And through it all there's no denying he has that presence that people will want to follow.

just because a person has done something bad it doesnt necessarily mean that person in heart is BAD.

Yes, the world in and out of anime is never black and white. But what made me feel less positive about him wasn't just that he did things badly. It was the way he acted while doing this stuff that made me concerned.

Kazama appeared :'D Yeah~~!! Lol, that was really unexpected =v=
And Shinsengumi finally got its name~ (Is anyone else feeling painful with this season? Knowing they had such large ambitions, and seeing them so close together... yet knowing they'll meet a tragic end?

Even 10 episodes later, I'm still getting mixed messages on Serizawa. While his methods are cruel and he's mostly a selfish prick, he's still very wise and insightful and has his shining moments (such as taking that woman in and his reply to Kazama). I just can't bring myself to dislike him.

Wow, this was a seriously good episode.

Serizawa's image has finally been completely uncovered. He's a really respectable warrior.

Kazama was badass as ****.

Ikr, I overjoyed as much as them when they got the Shinsengumi name.



I don't know why I realize it just now, but the ending is so great.
