Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance - Episode 11

Gramps targeting Kenshin's wallet to get him to talk was great. Kenshin's comparison of Misao to Iori actual was a big statement. After all, to Shishio and his men, outside Kenshin and Aoshi I would imagine everyone else seems like ants. Sure, Misao can hold her own unlike Iori, but to a giant, what is the difference between an adult and a baby ant?

It was funny of Kaoru and Misao meeting so suddenly. Though at this point, Kaoru's resolve is past firm. I love that gramps and Misao recognize that.

Still, we finally meet Kenshin's master, Seijuuro Hiko. To think how strong Kenshin is, it makes you wonder what kind of monster Hiko is. Still, his saying on sword is very true because while illustrated previously that it is the swordsman who defines the era, not the swords. At the end of the swords are weapons. Swordsmanship is a means of murder. After Kenshin wouldn't take up his sword hear if there wasn't a threat. Kenshin is living off a lot of his ideals. The catching two hares at the same time leaves you none, symbolizes that Kenshin needs to slow his horse. Though given by the flashback, this isn't new behavior for him.

Hiko last statement is interesting as well. It seems those ideals that Kenshin mentions miss one important thing, that despite protecting the people comes first. It only comes as a free sword, which, as we can see, allying with Saito in his fight against Shishio could create that distortion. I am curious where the talk between him and Kenshin continues.

Though finally, we see Kaoru has finally caught up to Kenshin. Also, I love how Yahiko and Misao went straight in to defend Kenshin.

I’m not enthused about the studio but this is the novel series I’ve most wanted to get an anime.


I noticed it says season 1 so clearly they plan more.

Ya let’s hope not need to get back to reading that got it on hold for now but i enjoy it

Honestly, the 2nd half of the S1 caught me by surprise. A really nice, tightly written cosplay series that has decent comedy with how self-aware. Liked a lot more than Dress Up Darling, which was really a cute RomCom with a cosplay theme. But never capitalized all that theme too much.

Yeah, this is crack if they handle it right.

I feel like Blue Box limped its way to the season (or cour?) finale. Though it might be the case of weekly watching hurting it instead of binging it like I did with the first 7 eps

Chinatsu's shooting form is I stopped doing that two handed shot when I was like 10

And I wonder if the anime making us feel like the MC should be with the gymnast instead of Chinatsu was on purpose or if they fukked that one up it's gonna be fukked up when Hina gets her soul crushed.

S1 is going to be running for 2 cours straight. Like 25 episodes iirc.

that makes more sense. I hope the story starts picking up though, I feel its been stuck in the mud for a while, not even getting interesting/compelling character building

It's the typical slow burn romance. Though, the biggest appeal is how it is more realistic rather than idealistic, the latter are what most romance shows end up being.

Tbh the good stuff won't come until S2 having read the manga. The series does a fantastic job building up the cast individually, but I wouldn't call it compelling since it is pretty obvious where the story goes. Mileage will vary, but the 2nd half of S1 will prob feel like a slog for some.

I think he should go with the gymnast.

Well damn

I think he should go with the gymnast.

The childhood friend being the clear better option but getting pushed to the side is an anime troupe that I will never understand. It's not even about screwing up the childhood friend, but why in the fukk do these mangaka always make that character waaay better and less annoying than the MC's real love interest

Damn Bleach been killing it lately

Spoiler: Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Conflict - Episode 11

It is very interesting how these past 4 episodes have been focusing on Mayuri and Shunsui where even among their great powers, they need the help of their lieutenants. The power of the ones they protected being the deciding factor.

Got to feel for Shunsui. Losing his brother and sister-in-law. By all accounts, it's easy to see that Nanao's mother was an incredible person. For wanting to end that curse of her family, that takes a remarkable amount of courage. Granted, being she was the last one, Shunsui's brother ended up dying. Shunsui carrying on their wills is not an easy thing.

Though it does seem that Nanao had some suspicions about Shunsui, but it seems she didn't know that he was her uncle. Still, Shunsui standing by Nanao's side was great. A fantastic episode once again. These 4 episodes have been insane.

You actually liked this ep?


That drug that shyt out far too long just to have that plain ass ending to the fight, don't care how pretty the colors/animation was

We just seen Mayuri have to get into his bag for real, this all we got from the Captain?...

nikka taught his pokemon 'Reflect' and won the fight that easily.......




Edit: actually after reading your post you fully go along with whatever emotion they present to you this hard?


Everything these people write is not that good or potent, and it's okay there's a reason Kubo got shytted on so hard for how he ended this story



Captain of a damn military force should NOT be mentally shaken by a whopping TWO deaths in his life what the hell kind of boss is that ( in the context of a fighting force)

They are fighting for their lives, the time for holding back until a flashback arrives is over. Entire world collapsing



A nikka being someone's uncle isn't a "reveal" worth saving for the final arc this is where people started shytting on him cuz it felt like he was creating these quick little flashbacks to make it seem like he had all of this stuff planned


They could a sped this fight up cutting out all that slow monologue nonsense. Easily the weakest episode of this cour

Spoiler: Orb: On the Movements of the Earth - Episode 12

As soon as Nowak saw that necklace, they were safe no longer. The moment that Rafal stood by his beliefs was such a big shock, I don't think Nowak could ever forget that necklace. Then also adding that the necklace came from a heretic he dealt with, from what I recall.

Oczy and Badeni's conversation was fascinating. Oczy's main point is that if you don't allow others to dispute or criticize the work that is laid out, that is more like faith. If you believe in something so much, you will go against those that challenge your beliefs. Badeni's points to Oczy are interesting because, from his standpoint, sure passing the torch would allow more time to work on it. But will that really happen? Badeni simply is looking at a glass half empty here. It's a risk to pass on your work, but if those people do search for the absolute truth, you can get closer to the end goal.

Man got to love Oczy. His character development has been a godsend. From a man that hated life and was afraid to look at the sky. In his talk with Badeni he will buy him time because Heliocentrism is his faith. The phrase a wrong answer is not a meaningless one again applies. Essentially, Oczy will be buying Badeni time and even if he sacrifices his life, his sacrifice is not meaningless. Though given Oczy has the necklace, would his death would pass it on to Jolenta?
