| Glorious storytelling. A beautiful anime in just about every way I can think of. Bloody, yes, but it doesn't feel gratuitous. The pace of the telling, the muted colors, and the sense of quiet play a huge part in balancing out the violence; not to mention those all-too-frequent glimpses into the darkest parts of the human psyche. Don't get me wrong...every sight and sound is in the perfect place at the perfect time. No part of Shigurui is gratuitous. I'm only 8 episodes into the series, which is why I'm "discussing" rather than "reviewing," and I will admit to taking a break after every 4th episode to watch a couple Fruits Baskets. I know, talk about polar opposites! Although not in any way frantic, the intensity is almost a character in and of itself! I don't know if it's because I don't have to wait a week between each episode, but this series shares a certain quality found in the best of film. It's a masterpiece, pure and simple. |

| Beyond amazing. kalaris said: Am i the only one who saw the autofellatio scene in this episode?!!! I was wondering if I had overdosed on BL or something; glad to know I wasn't just seeing things. |
| pretty good ep Asako is gay tho |
ashura said: i think actually Mie loves Irako. in the first ep she lied to Fujiki because she wants Fujiki dead as he is the last person of her father's dogs, only then her revenge over the whole Kogan ryu clan is going to be completed... Oh god, this makes so much sense! I was wondering what the fuck was going on in the first ep, I mean clearly she "sees" Fujiki getting his head chopped open up the middle and yet she said that she saw him win. That really confused me. If she was really trying to get him killed them that'd make everything click. And when she was saying "He's a monster" she was probably referring to Fujiki, too. kalaris said: Am i the only one who saw the autofellatio scene in this episode?!!! Good, I thought I was imagining things. This show is fucking insane. |

MajorAddiction said: this was my expression the whole show Mine too hahaha. I'm pretty convinced that Irako is the murderer, but this show is so unpredictable. |
kalaris said: Am i the only one who saw the autofellatio scene in this episode?!!! MajorAddiction said: All kinds of disturbances to me!hmm? Isn't Irako Seigen the murderer? this was my expression the whole show |
| So Irako is the murderer. Makes sense, and I figured it was him as soon as they said it wasn't Kogan and wasn't anyone from the dojo. So, NOW I'm pissed off at Irako. My distant, distant second favorite character kills my first favorite character... And for no reason, he wasn't even a member when Irako was exiled. :( The other two killings were pretty justified though, and anyone else he kills from the dojo is too. Just not Suzu. :( And I guess that explains why bug-eyed guy was so much more upset over Suzu's death than the rest, guess he had a thing for him. Still need to see how Irako gets crippled, and how Fujiki loses his arm. Guessing it'll happen in a fight between the two of them. |

kalaris said: Am i the only one who saw the autofellatio scene in this episode?!!! Thats what I was thinking.. But everyone here cant seem to get their mind off the eyeball eating seance.. |
| at least that guy had one last fap before he died.... though I can't say I approve of his method x.x |
 |
| As weird as ever.. |
| Just when I think the show cannot find new ways to shock and awe me, we have eyeball eating and autofellatio. Wow. It's great slowburn storytelling though. It's a straight, classic revenge story but with character that make sadism and masochism sound like fairy tale words. |

kalaris said: yah i really cant tell if he sucked his own dick or not, he even kind of wipes his mouth afterwordsAm i the only one who saw the autofellatio scene in this episode?!!! |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
kalaris said: Am i the only one who saw the autofellatio scene in this episode?!!! Thank god! For a while I though I was a super pervert! Best scene so far...mwahahahaha |
| Ugh...this episode was just plain weird and nasty. Such a strange show. |
 |
| That eye eating and all that killing was really disturbing... shit son this is getting really epic :p |
 |
| "alright men, we have no clue who killed this woman. So lets blame someone whos skilled but is completely unrelated to the matter and kill him so we dont look weak. in the meantime well find the real killer." ~fucking genius judicial system |
~my list
| I didn't know that big eyed guy was such a savage Wrecking all those guys and then eating his eyeball. |

berserker15 said: I didn't know that big eyed guy was such a savage Wrecking all those guys and then eating his eyeball. Also, that One Handed Swordsman at the beginning got wrecked pretty neatly, so Irako, or whoever the murderer is, sure has balls (or not) to fuck around with the Kogan Style |
| Fish don't bleed like that lol. The killer is Irako Seigen, the guy they blinded and threw out. I wonder how long it'll take them to realize that. Wait wait wait...was that guy with the weird eyes sucking himself while thinking about Suzu? Sure looked like it... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| That moment when you're eating fish for dinner and the door opens to Kogan eating a bloody fish. Appetizing xD Pin the blame on a random past enemy to use as a facade while they look for the real killer. They sure go through ridiculous lengths ta protect their reputation. Everyone in the Kogan Dojo has some sort of inhuman strength even the minor characters. Speaking of minor characters, the moment the spotlight shines on them, they get killed off kek (it's obviously Irako, just look at those dark girly lips). Big-Eyes gets his name from eating the eyeballs of his enemies and spitting them out... and giving himself a blowjob while thinking of an effeminate samurai boy in his dojo :3 |
 |
| This show smakes me wonder how the age of samurai could have lasted so long, with the samurai being degenerates who kill each other for the slightest reasons. But certainly an impressive title, and maybe better to watch in the morning... |
| Sensei was really going at it in the beginning, wasn't he? That whole eyeball bit rocked my world! He just popped it in his mouth like it was nothing. The murderer has to be Irako ~ |
 |
| I'm shocked to see a samurai do blowjob himself |
