It's time for Keiji! And with him, he brought the plot that everyone has been asking about! XD

A lot less fighting in this episode, but to me showing the differences in the personalities of Keiji and Masamune was pretty important.

Yumekichi stole the show, though.

Pace is what impress me most about this series. Me think all is balanced other than explanations about certain details.
I like: Matsu and her going after Keiji. That was interesting part. Inouchio with Matsu was good.
Keiji meeting with Kenshin/Kasuga. Best was Masamune practicing in rain doing sword swings and Masamune VS Keiji. Like very much Keiji long sword. Like also the super dragon move of Masamune!

That is nice sword!


So Keiji get defeated so he join Masamune...going to get more interesting because
Keiji don't look weak at all. Monkey is fun.


I like the sword going in air when Masamune call them+When he have all six of them with blue energy around him. This my favorite of all episode.

I was expecting a lot more Keiji action, but he played his role well all the same. He should also remember that the fights are still unrealistic, and beautiful sword slashes are just not good enough against LIGHTNING DRAGON OF FURY. Show us your wind tricks, Keiji! Toshiie also lacks his action moments, which is sad - I mean, come on, cold? How could he even catch a cold in the first place?

I like the sudden change of pace - it seems that characters do change their clothes from time to time. By the way, I like Masamune much more after this episode, as it appears he has something besides Engrish and biker attitude. I may even call him GAR now.

Next episode - Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, hell yeah! It's like they want to show my favorite characters one after another!

Good episode ,but not as good as the last one ,I'm starting to think the fighting makes this one a little special (but maybe that's just me)

Anyway I'm starting to believe that Yukimura is a complete idiot hopefully he does something about that in the near future ^^

To me Yukimura is simply very, very naive. XD Hopefully at some point the anime will take a moment to show the audience this in a way outside of Shingen fanboyism.

I still think this anime should have followed 1 character instead of force 10+ into the first 3 episodes. The plot still isn't there for me, but I suppose not much can be done when it's all about conquering land and expanding your territory.

I'm not satisfied yet, but that's just me.

Somewhat, here and there. For example, Keiji visits Kenshin because the real Keiji was allied with the Uesugi clan. Other things are wildly exaggerated. Masamune was actually much younger than pretty much everyone else. Twenty plus years age difference in more than one case.

Things would be much less interesting without Masamune though, so I'm glad they overlooked that fact. XD

Manpanties was the only thing enjoyable about this episode. Not a bad episode, but not necessarily good either. It just shows that the action is the only thing really worth watching the show for...besides Sasuke and his way of getting under people's skin. Keiji is a nice addition to the cast, so that's 2 (3 if you count Nobunaga) characters I like. Not bad.

(Callin' out for D.Gray-fans... Don't you think in anime Keiji somehow resembles Lavi? Ok, of course I'm only talkin' 'bout his personality... And maybe it's only first impression. Or am I the only one who think so?)

Keiji is sooo damn funny!! Yukimura's still a lovely idiot, and Masamune's sooooo cool, but.. yeah, that's all 'bout this episode. It was tooo slow for my taste, but... nah! I'm lookin' forward to the next!

It was... different. It didn't have much combat, and the plot is jumping around in a strange way. Is this actually airing in chronological order, 'cause it seems really jumpy.

One word: GAR.

The engrish was epic as always. Masamune now deserves a place in my top 10 characters. And if I was that Nobunari guy, I'd be proud that my ancestor is voiced by Wakamoto Norio.

Awesome episode. Was pretty cool to hear Morita Masakazu in here as Keiji. His sister seems crazy ^^.

The Kenshin - Kasuga scenes were funny again. And Sarutobi is becoming one of my favourite characters.

I must be one of the only people who doesn't like any of the female characters thus far. However, Yukimura and Sasuke are awesome. Keiji is just as annoying as he is in the games, and I'm still on the fence with Masamune.

Like the show, loved the games, I just don't like the personalities of most of the characters (or, in the place of Kasuga, anything about her. I'd prefer if she didn't exist as a character.).

Damn, this episode was good. So, we get this new character called Keiji. I think he didn't really show his true powers when he was fighting Masamune. He just wanted to be allies with him.

This episode is rather calm. Calmer than the previous ones. That Devil King must be that damn powerful if all warlords needs to unite just to beat him. Masamune will go straight to him, and I think he's going to lose.
