There is no problem in adaptation. But I didn't like killing to each other and the motivation behind it.

As expected from MAPPA the animation was impressive but the brutality is even more fascinating.

I have never heard of this anime's manga's name so as expected I never red it but I'm eagerly waiting for the next episode and what else this anime holds.

If I have to give praise to this show is for the huge effort the writer and director made in order to bore me to tears with slog slow sad backstories that are only missing a guy playing a sad tune on their violin.

I'll have to say that even though I wasn't pleased with Gabimaru's story, at least it was presented in a way I can feel some level of empathy. With Sagiri's long boring soliloqui about death and her family's business I just can't, specially when she acts as some martyr awaiting acceptance from the audience and expecting some "atta girl". The cherry on top is the expected though quite hastened epiphany triggered by MC's words of hope that completely changes her view in order to achieve the "character development" shonen stans yearn in order to gush and feel proud for watching these shows.

At least more edgy clown characters were introduced into the story, so maybe, just maybe there will be one that actually makes me laugh rather than make me yawn.

Thank god there's Heavenly Delusions that makes the huge difference in quality writing and execution on the same day.

It’s going to be really interesting. Story is nice and the known characters are all dealing with their fear of killing or fear of death. Wonder where this will all go, these criminals are strong but what if the elixir of life never existed?

Man said "there is no danger". I don't think you have the facilities to make that judgment big man.

I'm kinda confused as to why those kids were throwing rocks at Sagiri. Was she an outcast? Did I miss something?

Also, I don't like the rule that the criminal will die if he/she does not come back with the executioner/monitor. Now they also have to find this elixir and watch the backs of people they don't know. So what if they do get the elixir and return? Then they die regardless?

Someone told me that Gabimaru isn't an OP character... well that scene definitely convinced me that he is. Regardless, it was a solid episode.

Looks good and very brutal.

"I'm going to be burdened with weighs heavily on my mind. Would you approve if I made it pretty instead?"
Gabimaru is an absolute gigachad. Sagiri always saw that the dead would cling to her, that she needed to atone(?) for it, Gabimaru on the other hand didn't think a lot of it (till he fell in love), he instead wanted to make it pretty.

Chills.

Well adapted, the fight scene of Gabimaru was well done, made it quite clear that he is not afraid to kill in the most brutal way if he has to. Im a little disappointed with the design of chobei, he looks a lot more brutal and intimidating in the manga.

I actually imagined Chobei to have the same palette as Sanemi from KnY.

They look super similar.

Obviamente existe o clichê da reunião de bandidos e matança para escolher os restantes como os principais na jornada (curiosamente a maioria bem desenhado e com cabelo colorido). Mas não torna o episódio ruim, é divertido e, mais uma vez, super bem animado!
O aprofundamente na psiquê da Yamada sobre matar e a percepção do Gabimaru acerca do mesmo tema é interessante e um choque com outro, criando essa diferença de perspectiva. Um ótimo episódio!

They set this up nicely. Not familiar with the source material but so far this is very well done.

so yeah the first episode failed to hook me; its dramatic pretext and the goofy tropes kinda made me snooze, and I found nothing to like (or dislike, FWIW) about the characters or premise, but this episode... oh my God, from the opening sequence to the supporting cast called out by name, I was glued to my seat. I loved everything about this. It's hard to put into words what changed, but I loved the way the characters felt, I love how Gabimaru called out the Shogun for his ruthless assessment, I love the foundations of Sagiri's character arc, I love the little snippets we got to see of the supporting cast. The ingredients are here for an all time great shounen.

I especially loved Sagiri's epiphany, that Gabimaru made her realize she was wrong to try erasing the fear; instead, she needs the resolve to carry her fear. It was an emotionally resonant moment about accepting one's responsibilities and all the ill that comes with it.

Great fuckin' episode. Heavenly Delusion is still my AOTS, but this episode bumped the show up 3 points to a solid #2.

Guy explaining their mission: "Whoever completes the task shall recieve an official pardon..in the form of this certificate."
Someone in the back: "Sir we can't see shit! you put papers on our faces remember?"

Jokes aside I'm worried about the character count. We have the 10 criminals and then 10 Asaemon to accompany them. I wouldn't think many of them would be important characters but the opening features many of them. Besides that Sagiri's conflict felt like it was a bit rushed but I guess you need to do if you have 13 episodes.

So far so good.

Already we in the action , I agree the killing of each other to decide who’s gonna be aboard the ship is so unnecessary but at least we get to see how much of a beast Gabimaru is. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes

They're sending the executioners along as monitors.

Doesn’t guarantee some of them can’t escape their monitors. Nor does it guarantee that they won’t drink it before their monitors act.

One more below-average episode of this anime, I wonder if it will get better in the future? So far, it has shown NOTHING that makes you want to keep watching. I'll watch the 3rd episode, if it doesn't improve, I'll be forced to stop.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

The premise is pleasantly surprising me to say the least. I wasn't expecting all that from this title. Dope stuff.

Whoa,  Gabimaru just gave "hand to hand combat" a new meaning.

I wonder why didn't he kill the whole Yamada's and those other officials as well, he could have gotten away?
