| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh man. That conversation with the guy from the tea house. Jin: "Time to go." Awesome follow-up to the first ep. I love this anime. |
 |
| love the anime too one of my fav's second episode was ok i love jin and mugen i like mugen alot better doe |
     |
| Really good so far... For some reason the art reminds me of zetsubou sensei at times... |
| nice episode |
 |
| not as good as first one but was good anyways |
| Ok episode |
 |
| If an assassin told me he was sure we'd meet again... I'd be watching my back and would probably become paranoid. XD nitecafe said: mugen is cool in like obvious way but mugin is cool is a silence way. Yeah I agree, Jin's coolness is more subtle than Mugen's but present nevertheless. Jin is also more pokerfaced whereas Mugen's emotions show immediately on his face. :P (In that regard I can relate more to Mugen, hahaha.) And what is Fuu in all this? Anyway I'm glad that one-armed guy from the last episode died. He was just a flat out bully. D: Felt bad for the owner of the dango-ya... though I guess he had it coming if he went along with aiding in killing Mugen, Jin, and Fuu to save his own life... |
| It was good. |
Madcap said: I just finished the series and the only thing on my mind was what happened to that old, homo-erotic assassin guy showing up again? I dunno, his last line in episode 2 was:"I have a feeling we'll meet each other again, matter of fact, I'm sure we will." Did I miss him or did he really never show up again? I was wondering about this myself. The whole series I thought that was going to end up being the samurai who smelled like sunflowers, but I suppose not. What happened with him? He kicked ass. |
| One of my favorite episodes of Samurai Champloo. Felt sad for the Ogre-dude. |
| Good episode. Mugen is cool. It looks like he doesn't remember anything :) Funny guy. |

It would have been fun to see him again. I Felt bad for the orge aswell, he was really cute in his own way :) |
| Fair enough episode for me, even though this giant guy's history was... a bit hackneyed, if you know what I mean. He didn't deserve to die, though - Mugen could stop his attack, c'mon. |

| Really awesome |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| The ogre should have lived... |
| Ha! I've had this for ages and kinda forgot I had it! It was when making my lists that I found it and re-watched the first episode (I'd forgotten I'd seen it but after a couple of minutes it came back to me) and watched the second. Argh! Why didn't I watch this sooner! I really like Jin and his short rebuttals to Mugen's rants! And I'd like to see more of Fuu too! >_> ............ <_< ........... >_> !!! |
 |
| Not as good as the first episode but still decent. It was sad that the ogre died in the end. |
 |
| Nice episode. Very well put together |
 |
| First episode is more interesting.. |
| IMO bit better than episode 1. Series so far is pretty chill yo. |
| Decent episode. I'm guessing this anime will have an individual plot per episode then. |
 |
| Aww poor ogre. Love the soundtrack of this series though especially @ the end. |
 |
| LoL at Mugen about to have sex with that girl. He should've pulled a line on her before he left like "We wont be enemies the next time we do this". I really imagined him to say something of the sort. Any way, Jin is a target for misfortune. While Mugen is busy with a girl after a decent meal, a gay assassin tries to sweet-talk Jin with an empty stomache... LOL. Good thing Jin is so cool and collected, someone else would've been a broken man by now. That fight was also pretty cool, though from what I've heard, it's fodder compared to the ones coming up later on. Oh yeah, too bad about the ogre but I'm glad they wrapped that up in one episode. Would've been annoying if it dragged on. |
 |
| Quite a nice second episode the story really gets connected good and has a nice pace, quite starting to like this! Hope it will stay this good! |
 |
| I don't know why, but this episode really hit me in the heart shaped box. The metaphor with the fireflies, was incredibly poignant. The moment where the "ogre" reaches up to touch his first lightning bug blew me away. Everyone attracts a mate in their own way, but you don't send out the signals until YOU'RE ready. I hope future episodes can retain this sort of emotionality. |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |

Sedinus said: this giant guy's history was... a bit hackneyed, if you know what I mean. Yeah it felt very cliche. Everything else was great though. |
| that poor ogre was just misunderstood i always stick around for the ending song |
| 2 episodes in and I'm already getting the feels ;____; First time watching this anime btw I'm loving the ost |
 |
| Big fella :( |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Jin should have taken down that assassin only thing missing from this episode. |
| Wow... What a decline. The first episode was awesome, and it felt really original overall, and now all of a sudden comes a clichê japanese version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame with a really shallow ogre and an extremely forced relationship between him and the girl!. Hope it gets better! |

| The Hunchback of Notre Dame, kind of cliche but i liked the episode, hope the girl doesn't hate mugen for this. |
| Poor Ogre guy :(. Pretty good episode. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Kind of cliche scenario, but good episode nevertheless. lol at "Time to go". 4/5 |
 |
| That 'monster' guy reminded me of John Gardner's Grendel. A so-so episode. |
