| Very good episode. I'm liking the direction the story may take and it seems it will have some interesting villains and characters along the way. Looks like we're in for a good show this fall. |
| I am ready for some Helling levels of hype! Totally didn't know the same guy did both series. I had a huge hunch the first ep with the art style but forgot to look it up. Then the second ep hit and I just knew it had to be the same or some awesome levels of style devotion! Hype! |
| Oh LORD! Is that a licensed song in ANOTHER Kouta Hirano anime? I missed you SOOO MUCH!!! Andit's the OP, that's fucking awesome! And let me say this, Gate can't hold a candle to what Drifters is, Gate done right, with motherfucking badass samurais. And that scene when Toyohisa bashes the guy with the hilt of his sword, BRUTAL And DELICIOUS!! The asshole deserved it! |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| The was a damn badass episode. That absurd brutality hype me up in my seat. I guess the humor here depends on the watcher, so for me I find it laughable. The trio really are badass. Oda's quote while watching the grain fields burning was so badass. Shimazu got done really mad, made him torture the head of the Commander. Looking forward for next episode, looks like more enemies will be introduced. |
 |
| lol It's funny when you realize that Nobunaga from HunterxHunter(2011) was also voiced by Naoya Uchida. And this episode just confirmed that this is not Hellsing + Fate stay night It's Hellsing + Fate stay night + Umineko no naku koro ni Btw, I wonder if Nakata Jouji is getting a role in this? Or in any anime of this season at all...? |

| I love it. The second episode was really amazing, Drifters might become my favourite of this season. LOL at Toyohisa's line "If you don't speak japanese, you must die!" xD It's good he encouraged the elves to end that commanders lifes themselves. This is like the first (very bloody) step to be able to protect their village from now on. These guys need some good training. |
| What a magnificent gorefest. This time the comedy was better because it was used when the action ended as a way to drop the tension since it wasn't needed anymore. Not liking the comedy != bad comedy Even though I am not a fan of the style it managed to steal a smile from me. |

| damn I didn't like the first episode, but this was gold. Loved the OP, the characters are great, the art style's nice. I could have doen with the FMAB-style humour, but this was really good |
| Good opening song. This is the secound and last part of the OVA, i hope the next episodes are as good as the ova and the manga |
 |
| Blood and fire is sweet! I love this episode!!! |
 |
| the OP is amazing and that was brutal |
 |
| Nice OP, nice action and violence. Liked the 2nd episode. More interesting than the 1st episode. Seems there are different factions fighting which will make it intersting. (Only the action itself would get boring a bit.) |
| Well, apart of the beginning with Scipio and Hannibal, there is anything new respecting the second half of the OVA, as expected. Anyway, I enjoyed again the over the top action that Kouta Hirano's series has and it was an enjoyable as the OVA (didn't mind the awkward comedy at all). Next episode will have new content. Cannot wait for it. Btw, the opening it's fucking great. |

Cause usually, the situation or pure clever writing of the joke shine through anyway. Drifters on the other hand doesn't... at all. I meant the sudden switch from a dead serious situation to a joke. Gintama has a lot of comedy types. like almost every type. All I'm saying that it's easier for Gintama fans to adapt to the sudden mode changes. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| The OP sequence is so good. The comedy is still awkward, though fewer than the first episode. And that violent torture lol. So cool yet so wrong. Though that guy wasn't dead yet, or at least incapacitated, what tenacity. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| Not sure if I like the excessive blood but I guess that was to be expected from the mangaka of Hellsing. All in all it was mostly entertaining. Hopefully they stop talking that gibberish soon. That's really the only major annoyance.

It sounded Germanic. I could even imagine they used "regular" japanese then simply cut it into pieces and switched it around a little. With some kind of system, obviously, to make it sound consistent. |

All I'm saying that it's easier for Gintama fans to adapt to the sudden mode changes. True, I'll give you that. Although when gintama gets truly serious, the moment is almost never ruined by a joke. Gintama knows when to stay serious. I know I cried for a whole episode and after it too. This never happened to me before. |

After 61 chapterof manga I still have no idea |
| Shimazu is crazy as hell!! I like that!! |
 |
| Shit went down in this episode can't wait until next week. |
 |
| This show is so brutal and beautiful at the same time. |

| If nothing else, at least the action is bloody good. |

| I see now that the director of JoJo's is in this. I can feel the GAR in here. |
joe_own said: For all the people complaining about the comedy, have you not watched hellsing?, 2ndly just because some of you people don't understand it, doesn't mean its "cringe" or bad, its more or less your ignorance, and that's not the fault of the anime neither the manga, that's the individuals problem, and no there is also no mindless killing, there is most definitive a story and reasoning behind there actions and motives, this is not some run of the mill anime, and for the people that reads the 1 lonely review on MAL take it as a grain of salt, as that moron is reviewing it base on 1 episode, and that is what we call "inaccurate judgement". I watched Hellsing and it's bad comedy, why would someone change his opinion based on another show? It's just so out of place whether you watched Hellsing or not, your comment makes no sense. |
| Hmmm... I didnt kow how i felt about ep 1 but ooooo booy was this episode on some next level shhiiiiiit |
| the first episode was average and i was not that interested in the story. But after the episode 2, i'm really hyped about this show. |
| Is only me or actually this anime is hard to watch? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR PLAIN JOKES PLS HELP EXPLAINING THEM TO ME. Even they dared making harsh joke after those death?! I'm not complaining but it's only 2 episodes and now i'm complaning the whole show. Ee? I haven't watch hellsing and I don't understand how to enjoy this anime. I mean.. Do people must watched hellsing beforehand in order to understand the whole thing? The art is appealling especially those op and ed, i like it. But it's gone nothing for me cause i don't understand the plot. I don't like mc's goals ideals. He is dead and now he is obsessing to cut people's head. He barely just swung his sword and it's mere blood for show? It's creepy although his team now is siding with elves afterward. Feel bad for those poor germanian elves. I hope their approach become clearer in next episodes. |
We did this every day that summer. There wasn’t a day we missed.  "I love you, air conditioner." |
| I'm frankly loving this fucked up show, its kind of refreshing to just see something so not give a shit about how edgy and brutal it is and instead just double down on it. It gets me hyped. Also that opening is outstanding. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| amazing Op song and ending |
| Opening was between Good-OK.... I am so enjoying how Toyohisa and Co. are slaughtering these Racist Pigs. F***ing and Nobunaga....Absolutely love his Maou of the 6th Heaven act! I am fan of him, even if he was Crazy Warmongering Warlord. LOVE THE FACT THIS IS NOT CENSORED THAT BADLY!!! XD |

I think some bits sound like normal Japanese. |
| Great episode. Good action and not to shabby with the blood, I like it :3 |
 |
| I really enjoy this ep. That was so brutal and bloody. |

That is indeed a possibility I didn't think of and on top of that is much simpler to do than my approach :P I had the same impression. Some syllables/words sound like normal Japanese. |

| Holy Shit that Intro man Then on top of that the rest of the episode HOT damn this is going to be amazing.. 5/5 |
| Jesus this show is pretty brutal only still interested behind the whole reasoning of warriors of different time periods getting put together,but man after all that not even seconds after the guy getting killed by a bunch of villagers "lets turn to Wacky comedy" i'm just like why?! oh god why are you doing this right now. the still art sure look nice at times |
 |
| YEA! This is the best 2nd episode that I've ever seen this Fall 2016 season! I personally call them "The Three Overlords" ! 5/5! |
 |
| Definitely my favorite opening of the season. I'm enjoying the characters so far, but am really hoping to see more drifters and ends introduced as quickly as possible. If they all have the same level of chemistry as the first three I think we'll be in for a great show. |
| Drifters Vs. Ends, next episode, i want yet!!!!! |
