Is that kid Kenta voiced by the same person as Naruto? I could swear they sound the same.

As for the show itself, it has some promise but looks too generic in some parts. Well, we shall see, judging based on 1st episode is wrong :)

Wait so this is shounen ai? ....I should've seen it coming with the overload of pretty boys and shoujo eyes

Although that crow coming out of his arm was pretty sick.

It was a good episode, but it didn't give off that "ZOMG need next episode now!" sort of feeling, like some shows do. I still found it enjoyable and will continue to watch it.

I got a little bored from the first episode. Probably won't continue watching and just deleted from my list. But that's just me.

My favorite character was the raven/bird.. Hah. Does anyone know who voices the bird? It's driving me nuts - the voice sounds so familiar but I can't pin it down.

Murasame (the bird) is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto, a prominent seiyuu who has been featured in many anime series. :)

Fine first episode, a little bit boring though.
Random thought - I know Sousuke is supposed to be a monk or something but his uniform somehow reminds me of the Shinsengumi uniforms.

Man this was actually pretty good. I'd even argue the best show I've seen of this season so far. Only the A1-Picture one seems interesting besides this one.
I hope the last few shows that will air soon make up for this shitty season.

Well I hope Deen doesn't decide on putting in a CGI dragon at some point...

Then I am willing to be a $hit eater. Hakkenden itself is an old and solid story. I am looking forward to seeing how they pervertarrange the classic in a modern style.

I wonder if your English is as bad as your critique...

To be fair this wasn't too bad, I really wasn't expecting anything from this show but was pleasantly surprised compared to most of the winter season I've watched so far. I'll definitely continue watching this.

The animation and art are better than I expected. Ah, it's good to see Abe Miyuki sensei's work turned into anime.
Shino's voicing is somewhat I found a little off for the chara of Shino in my mind.

Have you read the manga? i would really appreciate if someone can confirm that this doesn't have SHOUNEN-AI content, 'cause i would prefer to avoid watching this if it's the case.

Thank you in advance...

What I got from this ep:
-Hamaji is quite useless (at least ATM..)
-Shino is younger than I expect him to be >.<
-Mainly about the Shino and Sousuke; I expected Hamaji to have a bigger role besides being the "bait"
-OP and ED are really good^^
-Given that I'm not an expert at judging animation/graphics, I think that this show is quite nice on the animation and graphics~

Well, still continuing with this show^^

Very good episode. Definitely better than Sasami-san, though Hakkenden loses out in the art department (I watched them back-to-back, that's why I compared the two, for anyone wondering). The opening was very beautifully done and the setting itself gave off a good vibe. A 4/5 for the episode.

The manga is published in a shonen-ai magazine but as far as what I read in the manga, there is no explicit shonen-ai. If you watched 07 Ghost or Uraboku, I would say they have the same type of "friendly" interactions between men (they´re "friends"), the only difference here being that there is a girl here and she has a love interest. The anime is labeled as shoujo so...

I liked it more than I thought I would, seems like a nice super natural anime :)

Shino really reminds me of Natsu but I'm not complaining, I like his voice a lot ^^ I'm cruious what will happen from now on though but I do hope there'll be enough action to keep me entertained.
I loved the ost at the end of the episode -right before the ending-, does someone know the name of it already? It's very beautiful :)

As for the question if this is shounen-ai, excuse me but where does that question even come from? I think I've seen a fair share of shounen-ai anime's but I really didn't see any kind of hints towards it in this anime...?

Very interesting and action packed first episode, I really liked it. Although it was a little confusing, that's to be expected this early on. I feel like I'm already deeply into the series (as in several episodes in); not to say that it's fast-paced, but I like it anyway.
5/5.
