Damn, he didn't have to kill Meisai. I'm sure with his skills he could have found a way to incapacitate her without murdering her. I liked Meisai a lot, and found the transition to the semi-comedic scenes afterwards kind of jarring. They just killed a woman who has been trying to heal the scarred psyches of a thousand people, and then as they're leaving they're flirting and tumbling down the stairs. Certainly there's "no room for mercy" on the battlefield, but a little more humanity afterwards wouldn't hurt. Entertaining watch so far though. |

I have to admit that felt a bit wrong to me as well.  |

Eeeh well so far I don't really thinks this anime is that good... I'd give it a 6/10... I think the art is quite pretty but the plot just so-so... Is that such a good idea to gather all the swords? For peace? I feel like it could lead to the opposite... Togame is quite a weak strategian imo... She claims to be one but isn't even good in that aspect ^^' And really Shichika didn't really have to kill Meisai, did he? I think her reason for wanting to keep the sword is much more honorable than Togame's... Ah well will keep watching it though... still enjoyable I guess... |

Nice episode, it's only strange that they take time to introduce the Maniwani ninjas just to let them die with one slice without doing anything significant xD I like the relationship of Togame and Shichika :P  |

Ya, that bet is bullshit. 2 swords for one based on a duel? Pfft. I lol'd @ that scene at the inn at night though. It looked like they were.... Seems like Yasuri also admits that he fell for Togame. It was inevitable tbh. The duel was good and so was this episode. Cheriooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  |

I was kind of dissapointed in her ultimate technique Sentou Meiguri and in how it was so easily defeated in such a lame way. But aside from that it was good episode and Tsuruga Meisa was an interesting character. 5/5 |

Why show some blood if we can put some dark screens instead and leave the rest for imagination of the audience. IT DID NOT WORK because The duels of this episode were really really lame lame aspecially considering Meisai's potential. Oh and another ninja killed within one shot- this is soo uncool :< I wonder how much did Togame and Meisai knew abot eachother- I mean their past is very similar. Shichika's also and I think this is what he calls 'love'. Btw my impression on him stering at his covered with blood hand: truely dreadful o.o and so not a human. Ah right he is a katana :/ (I'm pretty shure I shared this thought with Togame considering her face at that moment) Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter. |

Not the best episode so far. The previous episodes were better in most aspects, though this one was also better in a way. Shichika really shouldn't have killed her :/ I also hope that Shichika will develop some emotions about killing soon. It just felt so weird how he didn't feel anything when he killed her :/ The contradictions that Meisai spouted was also kind of confusing. And I'm sad we didn't actually get to see the so-called thousand sword technique. The "fights" (both the last one and the one with the ninja) were too short. I hope not every ninja will die so easily. Other then these though, it wasn't bad. I liked the kind of sad story of the maidens and I also liked the comedy in the episode. Especially Togame's and Shichika's moments :) Also, I didn't expect that he was actually the one who killed his own father, though I think the father was probably happy with it, knowing that his son surpassed him. Well, that's how I imagine it happened, anyway. Modified by RazielZero, 04-04-13, 2:08 PM I am justice incarnate, brought to this world by forces beyond your comprehension.

Liked this episode the most so far. There should really be more action though. The fights end in a couple of moves.  |

What is with the cookie ninjas? 10 seconds appearance and a quick death. What is with the techniques? The woman says it is invincible and the guy kills her with one punchy move to her heart. What, is that it? |
