The scene with Kagome and milk was so cute. <3
Anyways, the more Ayame and Yoichi scenes, the better for me; I was totally expecting something else...and knew what was going on...
Poor Jinjuro getting pwned as he comes.

That was what's his name's (OH! Ukyo) younger sister Sonan or whatever, not a spirit, lol. Fake Ayame made for a pretty funny scene.

Next episode with Ibuki getting memory loss seems interesting.

It's nice to see that Chihaya has more of a part in the plot, but it sucks how she's just overshadowed. Such a cool character gone to waste.

At least the show isn't all about fanservice.

Reminded me of those old arcade games where you have to fight all the previous bosses again on the final level before you meet the big boss.

The part I found most puzzling was that Yoichi and Ibuki say that Ayame isn't that forward around others.. but we've seen her be at least close to that forward before.

I noticed the breast size difference, but assumed she'd just padded.. she was headed out there to try and get Yoichi's attention after all. And he has made some obligatory comments about them.

He lives around bears and wild animals and no humans, but somehow within three months he learns to recognise women by their breast size O.o I've lived around other people and I can't even do that.

Finally, the action scenes are back!

I didn't expect that he will fight all the previous episode bosses that he defeated before. However, the action scenes were cut short. He just used a one move and simply overpowered all of them. This proves that he is stronger when he is protecting somebody.

I did notice that the opening sequence changed. Those people behind the masks are now revealed. I guess it's pointless to see their faces anyway.

Only 2 more episodes to go. I can expect a generic good ending from this show. Nevertheless, it's still far from being the best show this season. It doesn't standout as compared to other shows. However, it's still not bad at all.

I pretty qiockly realised that Ayame in the cave was antagonist's sister. Nice action-filled episode with lots of "fighting"... I'd prefer seeing real sword fight instead of windstorms once in a while, though ^_^

I noticed that Ayame's breast size was bigger as well. It's pretty noticable when she's been complaining about how small they are this whole time and all of a sudden they look like a C. I just thought it was another case of animation making breasts larger and smaller in a matter of seconds.

Chihaya went "pu-hi" and it reminded me of Botan, Kyou's pet piglet from Clannad. However, when I checked the seiyuu, it isn't the same lady.





What's up with the end of episode previews? It is always Samurai's father rapping about nonsensical things.. *facepalm*

You'll understand why she called Yoichi Onii-san in the next few eps when they explain Ukyou's past and his "promise" with Ibuki.

Overall this episode was pretty good considering they changed the story from the manga a lot.

The truth is I had also noticed Ayame's breasts being bigger but I thought it was just the design.. I guess not.
It seems that this will be the last arc of the story since it seems that Ibuki has lost her memories until the time when she was young. Can't wait to see what happens..
I hope we get to see more Wa-san before the series ends!!

Nice episode ^^
Though I thought some parts were going be done differently, and the makers switched some parts arounds from the manga, it seemed to fit quite well. Lol at Yoichi figuring out Sakon was not Ayame by testing the breast size, and also doing it later on the real Ayame to make sure xD. And we have Jinjuro finally apperaing (though through all dramatic-ness they added unto him, he taken out by Ayame in one hit O_o). Yoichi running to save Ibuki was like a game recap (when the main would go through several bosses and finally make it to the end etc. btw, kinda nice how they made him go against the previous encounters he fought against). Now upon finding Ibuki in the end, she seems to be "different" (must've been the random jar the antagonists gave her in that one scene).

OH NOES A CLIFFHANGER!

This should be interesting, but to me it seems like they're really rushing things along in the last few episodes. I was kinda afraid of this back in episode 8.

5 out of 10 for this episode. I didn't find myseld overwhelmed here.

-Yoichi's hand eye coordination= good at sword fighting/ bad at everything else
-i can't believe that ibukis memory have been erased, bout to hit the climax of the anime with only 2 episodes left
-the fight bgm is pretty awesome
-they built so much hype and attention for the samurai, was expecting an epic fight between him and Yoichi...didn't get anywhere near it T.T

Does anybody really like Ibuki?
She was forced into the spotlight from the beginning and she's the most bland and unenchanting character this show has to offer.
They could pull any bimbo from their cast and she'd do a better job than Ibuki.
I personally wish Ayame and Yoichi would kick it but I can also see the sparks between Wassan and Ayame being forcibly set off. (I wish Wassan could be with Tsubasa but that's just me.)
Honestly, I had no expectations coming in to this anime but the more I watched, the more I wanted.
This episode wasn't exciting enough for me.
Just an episode to gain momentum for the ending it seems.

yeah i can agree in what youre saying, its been a long time since ive seen this anime again so i decided to rewatch it yesterday. and yeah its a really fun anime and with each episodes it feels like you want more of it but sadly it ends really short even the manga is super short but then i guess the author does not want to make his story to go around circles and rather end it with the readers/watchers imaginations on how it will end
