Now there's a serious competition going on for the deviant swords. I wish the fight was longer and actually had substance.

Holy shit Francis, relax.

The episode was pretty good, wasn't enough cheerio though. I would have liked some better fighting as well but it's pretty apparent this anime doesn't focus on action.

Now I see why you bugged me for! :D Anyways yeah not enough Cheerio but not even a single Gyafun. Me relax? I am ok...it was exciting episode after especially those ninja chains!

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Better than the previous episodes in all aspects other than fighting. Which I still think should be a much bigger part of this show. Oh well, next episode seems promising.

Holy crap!

I just marathon three episodes and damn, this has more words than an ancient Japanese war story, written on a mile long toilet paper scroll. Yes... it's kind of shitty. However, the preview for the next episode looks interesting. They were holding out some good action.

The first sword zettou~ hardest and cannot break,thus no need scabbard and also can cut well without fearing being break.

Second sword Zantou~there is nothing in this word this sword cannot cut.

third sword Sentou~thousand of sword.All the sword are SAME(absolute).Usually if swordsman use a sword the sword will rot,destroy,ect....and changing another sword takes time to ADAPT .But if there one thousand sword then its a different story right?Out of the all the Shikisaki's sword this is the only NORMAL sword.Shikisaki is known to made weird sword.So this is~extraordinary normal sword~.....that's why it call Sentou Tsurugi(thousand "sword"),Tsurugi is just general meaning for sword,that's all......Gold(metal) being killed

The annoying ninja trend is becoming tiresome, but the main antagonist this time was great. Honestly at first I didn't like this episode as much as the previous, but by the ending it had definitely taken top spot as my favorite episode so far. However, that will most likely change with the next episode, judging just from the preview alone.

The next episode looks to be an awesome over-the-top episode, but in the ocean!!! ... original I must say!!!

Shichika is smart to go near the tearoom.The only place where there is no sword can be hidden(except one).because placement of the thousand of sword are done during the night(when they are sleeping).If they notice that, the skill Sentoumeguri can't be use.The weakness of Mental attack are USELESS if the secret are known.In either way,Such skill are useless for a barbarian that live in a lost island for 20 year.Some more Shichika is PRIDEFUL when come to his own skill.That's why he wanted challenge it(Sentoumeguri).Meisai sure hurt his pride.I guess girl use more brain compare to brawn .When Meisai draw out the sword from the ground,i was thinking " Is this the fate of her?(the founding of the sword) "the sword will choose the owner and the sword will not choose to kill.

Great episode. It wasn't as strong as episode 2, but it was still very, very good. This episode managed to further characterize Shichika and Togame, introduce Meisei, and brilliantly deconstruct all three in 45 minutes. The show knows exactly what it is doing, and I think it's genius. It's probably my favorite show of the year so far, and I wonder if anything in the spring will touch it. Much like Higashi no Eden, I trust the creators to both entertain me and make me think for the remainder of the series.

I also really love the once a month format for the show.

Cheerio~
That's a mighty suggestive scene btw.
So.. Cheerio~
What the crap is up with those shrine maidens anyway?
All these Maniwani-guys are somewhat retarded, aren't they? Like this last nutcase for example... Oh well, the backwards-guy was worse xD
Cheerio~
Next episode seems to be lots of action : o
Cheerio~

Tl;dr what I've learnt so far from these 3 episodes: These people've got quite freaky eyes xD
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.

I love the interactions between Togame and Shichika. This episode's fight was definitely not as interesting as the first two. The next episode looks amazing though from what I saw in the preview.

So... what can I say, hum: I love it! (If only it was possible to have hair like this... ) I really don't want him to change. I really love his naivety... and the art. Maybe he killed his father to accede the title of master when his father was ready to die. I don't know but I don't like characters who began to doubt and whine...

God I hate Togame. The somewhat lack of her in this episode made it so much better than the first two and it didn't waste its time with lame comedy for half the episode. Felt like the dialogue between Shichika and Mesai made this episode was good as it was. The fight was a bummer though :/ the next episodes fight looks like it will make up for it though.

Wish Togame would die....

must have been an accident, he's not bright enough to carry out a plan, however now we know that he's stronger.

I love this anime.


Guess his father had some sickness or something, He seemed to get along with his sis even though he (killed?) his father

Waiting for next ep is a pain in the ass :/

...he probably put one of those traps by the house like how he caught his imouto. That would have been irony if he said that was the reason. Another great episode and amazing how time flies when you watch good anime. Loved the fights, too bad Bleach and Naruto cant incorporate this kind of fighting. Its a good change of pace. I dont mind the 95% dialogue at all.

And how can you say Togume is not attractive!? Reminds me a lot like a cross between shana and kagami. And that hair...


I would like to pull it.

Well for those commenting on the fights, this was never an action-oriented series.

As for the episode it was awesome, really, really good. Another interesting antagonist and great Togame moments! The pacing was perfect, the dialogue was good and the episode raised some very interesting questions. Looking forward the rest.

Very well balanced episode. Some action, dialogue, and a bit of character development. Togame in her moment of echii was something i noticed but wasn't too sure about. :P Next episode looks amazing though. [Score and visuals were awesome in this episode!]

It means that you will always have another sword to use wherever you are, using a hit and run tactic. And you have mastery over the environment.

Still, his reaction to the outcome of the fight was creepy.

In a way, Meisai seem like a champion and had good intention overall. Should of held back a little.
