That was surprisingly decent and the two main leads seem likable enough. I'm really digging the soundtrack too.

This anime looks like it is going to become one of my favorites. I have a soft spots for animes about samurai wanderers. Animes like Samurai Champloo and this appeal to me

It's somewhat ridiculous, but very amusing.

My first thought is I'd really like to see her and Kenshin team up somehow. Digging this show so far. The lead is very quiet, which is so different than what I'm used to.

Very nice, I really liked it from the start.
Very weird way to find help from those brothers if you ask me, what if they kill the ones who they attack,lol.
We still haven't heard her name but the samurai woman is really strong and so is Meow, I always liked girls pretending to be cats, or using cat martial arts.

Very good start I thought this will be another shitty samurai series I have to endure but damn the 2000s sure knew how to do it right.

oh man how i've craved for some old school anime, love the hand-drawn/cel-animation so much, as well as how unique the scenarios/character personality can be. Loved it.

This is second anime from my 2000 marathon. Much better introduction than the chaotic first episode of Miami Guns. Comedy wasn't annoying or exaggerated, characters are fun to watch and the formulaic format is quite good. I thought Ran was a guy before watching the anime lol.

By poster I really wouldn't guess it's comedy.. But it's tagged so..
Well, she just defeated everyone.. Both sides..
So far show tries to be absurd with some things and at the same time tell serious story.. Well, will see, how they'll manage to do so.. If they'll stick to it, of course.. Maybe will see something else..

Got to give the show some credit; they put a decent amount of effort into the fight scenes. The dual fight with both Ran and Myao participating was the superior action scene. Will it be topped in future eps?

Ran is a surprisingly likeable character. I think her softspoken way of speaking and calm demeanour compliment her samurai skills pretty well. Her fascination with sake tho is really worrisome, hehe. Myao, on the other hand, is so vibrant and full of energy, the complete opposite to Ran, and it works.

As the synopsis explains, not much is going on narratively, but as a character introduction episode and showcase of the series action element, it wasn't a bad first episode.

Good first episode, really liked the animation, historical setting, characters, and action scenes. The comedy was a little hit or miss, but I guess humor is subjective after all.
