----------------------------------------
This episode was about Uesugi Kenshin and Naoe Kanetsugu. Kenshin enjoys their new life in our world as a modle while Kanetsugu is happy being with her except wants Kenshin to fulfill her old dream of ruling Japan. This eventually leads to an argument where Kenshin tells Kanetsugu that she gave up on that dream and wants to live a normal life with Kanetsugu. Again, Nobunaga scores a easy victory since her opponents don't even want to go back to their world.

Well that's all the four characters who are listed as "main" introduced.

Both Kanetsugu and Kenshin willingly gave up their secret treasures as well. I hope things get a bit more interesting than that. And I hope the next episode is more than just another character introduction, and we get more than just the new character for the first 20 minutes before Nobunaga shows up and the new character willingly gives up her secret treasure too. If that pattern continues this could get rather boring. But there's still potential yet, so I'll continue watching.

Well it's a 26 episode series and there's only 3 characters left I think. So something HAS to happen... It's just a question of what.

Pretty slow paced episode not much happening at all seems there focussing mostly on character background which does suggest that something might happen to them in the near future.
Kanetsugu looks like a very interesting character and she seems to be a angel wonder what had background story is like and why she admires Kensin so much.

The way this is going I doubt it will happen. of course everyone involved could change their minds since this is a 26 ep series.

Pacing is a bit slow but seeing as it's a 26 ep series, I'm going to hold off judging it until all the characters are introduced.

The synopsis say they all become best friends in their adventures and so far it's just been introductions.

Hopefully it gets better by then. At this point it's the seiyuus keeping it interesting for me. Three of my fav seiyuus are in this so I'll survive :P

Pretty dull, what are the animators or storyboard doing. It is really shocking when something like this gets 26 episodes but other more plot compelling anime get 11-13...

Yeah, surprised this gets 26 episodes. Either way, out of all 3 eps so far, this was my favorite. I give it a 4/5.

This and Tsuritama are my least favorite out of all the spring 2012 anime I'm watching so far (not to say I don't like them, because I do, just not as much), and I plan on sticking with all of them. I already kinda liked this anime, but this episode boosted that a little bit - it was kinda cheesy, but I really enjoyed it; there was more of a dramatic story this time compared to the first two episodes. I'm sure this will pick up a bit in the remaining 23 episodes anyway - I look forward to it.

And since the new Tsuritama ep was released today as well, I'll have to watch that right now - hopefully it's just as good!

i still kinda don't get what's going on o.o so like, the new characters get introduced, but near the end of the episode they are being left out(?), or so that's what i think so far. or they could either meet at some point later. welp, i guess i'll have to find that out.

I'm curious to know what direction this anime is gonna take especially the way the episodes are being paced.
I want to know what Nobunaga does while searching for them for their treasure her 5mins cameo makes it appear as though she's a support character.

Well, three episodes is a good hour. There's no excuse for a full hour of this drivel. And despite assurances that there would only be three episodes of this introductory tripe, it looks like ep.04 will be more of the same. How many other 'main' characters can there be?

I have to say that I'm surprised that this stagnant puddle of a show is booked for a 26-episode run. Given the artwork, music and writing, it's probably inexpensive to make but it can't be cheap to run for six months.

Funny that it got such a bevy of good seiyuu. But as much as I like Noto Mamiko, hearing her say 'Kanetsugu' every minute but nothing much else, just makes me feel that this is a wasted opportunity.

While it's too tepid to be called a train wreck, I can't say that I expect much from this one. Is there a worse show this spring?

Wow, I got a serious YoumuxYuyuko vibe in this episode. Kanetsugu felt a lot like Youmu personality wise, and she was really cute, just like Youmu. Kenshin too, felt quite similar to Yuyuko. On top of that, Kenshin's and Kanetsugu's relationship is easily comparable to Yuyuko's and Youmu's. Any other Touhou fans here feeling the same way as I am?

I enjoyed this episode. While the plot of what we've seen so far, is admittedly only average at best, the characters are actually quite enjoyable to watch, to me at least. Because of this, I'm always looking forward to each new episode.

Whoa. This could definitelly be the best episode of the whole season. That yuri was awesome and caught me completely off-guard. These two might've just raised the score by one or two for this show.

I'm dropping this. Enjoyed the first episode, but didn't care much for 2 and 3.
I know it's really early to decide something like that considering that it will have 26 Eps.
But my watching list is way too high this season and I really need to drop some of the shows I find lesser interesting.

I was looking forward to seeing Kanetsugu and Kenshin, always liked their characters in games that I've played. And it didn't dissapoint, lol I love these two's personality here and they're both so cute. Was really glad to see Kanetsugu get her colors back, felt bad about it the whole time.

Ffs the whole everybody just adapting and wanting to just stay in this world is disappointing me. Cmon is there anyone who wants to go back to their original world like Nobunaga? And I am hoping these first few episodes are just going to be character introductions, I want to see them all gather together at one point and actually do something. It can't go on like this for 26 episodes right lol where they just all go their separate paths in this new world.

This anime has 26 episode so people please give it a little more time. I doubt they will do this sequence for a long time as there arent many characters left so something is bound to happen. Look at Kyouka senjou no horizon, people dropped it after 3-4 episode but it turned out to be an awesome anime after those introductory episode.

Also lol at Kenshin having the same VA as Yuri from Mawaru penguindrum as both look almost the same and have almost the same personality and both are anime from the same company

I though Kenshin was the prettiest and I did not like Naoe. She was cute but that's all. Pure beauty was in Kenshin. Other than that the drama and resolve was fine.

This was slightly better than last week's episode, but only because I don't like lolis like in ep2. This episode failed anyway, especially since the conclusion made no sense, it was all about f*cking food? And then again the stupid part with those annoying three shrine girls which I absolutely hate since the first time they've showed up. I just find it so weird that episode 1 was so nice, until the part those three showed up, and after that everything was just so bad. I will keep on watching till they're finally at the part when they come back at it, but I'm expecting it will take too long to survive this show.
The only thing I need is more Nobunaga, I don't need so many useless characters whose names I forget every second.

I hope there will be some epic fight soon, although the animation so far reveals their budget is quite low.
I also need more of Nobunaga and the boy she's living with.

What. That's my initial reaction. The uguu faces were distracting and since the characters weren't properly established I couldn't sympathize with them much. The atmosphere was enjoyably laid back though. I also liked how Nobunaga was dumbfounded that they didn't want to return. I wonder if she will come to this decision too at the end. 3/5.

Ps: Finally someone pointed out how strange it is that some people are just running around with animal ears.

It bothered me. Every time Kanetsugu appears I'm like "her mouth could've been drawn a bit lower."

I have concluded that it would be better not to marathon this series. This is kind of making me sleepy.

Very good episode again.

Kenshin and Kanetsugu are so adorable together. <3 I'm glad Kanetsugu is able to see the world in colors again.

So far, this show has been so much better than I expected.
