| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The movie starts with the mission to protect Kondou, and two leaving the team. Is it just me not watching (was listening most of the time) the TV series carefully, or I'm feeling that they changed and added lots of new scenes in this movie. I feel that the guys don't want her to be involved most of time including Hijikata. She's with that oni guy the most of time while not in the war. I like that Heisuke and Hajime, two fav. characters, were together at one point. Hajime also became Rasetsu in this ver. |

nu__ said: there's something i can't understand! the time where the storyline placed in, is it before the tragic anime ending? OR is it taking a whole different time line? Both the anime and movies are based on the Visual Novel(Game) which has multiple time lines depending on which choices you make in the game. So to call the movies a different time line from the anime would be correct. Though honestly the movies had completely new content all together in them, they merged some routes of the Visual Novel AND added new stuff. It was especially pretty neatly done in the second movie in my opinion. Callisto said: The last scene where they were all reminded was so sad... :( ..I know.. :(.. it hurt me to watch that. But at least the ending was a bit less.. wrecking than it was in the anime. |

| Well, what a lost of time here... Chizuru was just a helpess girl, and I don't like when girls are like that... Hijikata was so boring... And seems that all the war scenes was kinda for nothing, since we didn't see the end of the war itself... Kazama was the best thing. 5/10 |

| Hakuouki is mostly about Hijikata because he's the main boy and the name of the franchise itself is about him. Needless to say, this movie was more rushed than the first but I still liked it more than S2 of the anime, they animated some key points of Hijikata's route very nice. Of course, in his own route his character is very developed and exposed and the movie couldn't deliver even half of that, but I could feel some emotional impact from it. I feel that those kind of things are mostly enjoyed by people who played the original VN, but well if you're not a fan of Hijikata then you probably won't like it period lel. 6/10 |

| Yeah, had a hell of a time trying to find a stream with decent subs, but I wasn't able to so I wasn't able to understand this one so much...unlike the first one, this felt obviously rushed too |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| The subs were really bad. I'm glad I've been studying Japanese and did much research on the Shinsengumi which helped out a lot to understand the movie more. The ending was definitely more easy on the heart than the anime series but I still feel so depressed. Many of them, especially Okita suffered such a cruel fate ;w; I really liked how they ended up putting a part of the Kazama route in it. I accidently played that route on my first game play through n__n |

| There were exactly 2 reasons that made this film worth watching, 1. hearing them mention HAKODATE, where I used to live and GORYOKAKU, where I used to work. Hearing those 2 names almost brought me to tears, and 2. was the setting of the scene where Hijikata fought this demon guy, it was Goryokaku Kouen, the star-shaped park-fortress in the heart of Hakodate, a gorgeous place Overall 6/10 for me. Slow-paced with rushed plot, Chizuru as annoying as usual, the music was good though, the story was tried to be consistent, for some reason though, everyone who survived countless battles so far died all of a sudden from minor things just for the drama, but still pretty boys and a good historical background mixed with fantasy, why not? It's less of a waste than many other shows.... |

| Nice to see Ryunosuke again even if only briefly. This second movie certainly didn't disappoint. About on par with its second season counterpart given the time constraints. The different ending also feels like there's a bit more closure. What really grips my heart is how rather than dying tragically or having a heroic final stand, Hijikata will spend his final days in peace with Chizuru after losing everything & everyone from the Shinsengumi. While it's hollowing to think about how much was lost and for what price, that silver lining of being able to live out his final days with the one he loves most is what hits it all home for me. 7.5/10, this is actually making me want to revisit the main series again a bit. |
