| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Poor Omasa, running away from he face of death but still fights back. This was a thrilling finale and I'm not surprised that they kept the violence. Luckily, she got saved on time. Too bad this episode didn't go without tragedy D: |
 |
| This show was very good. A nice seinen. |
| Omasa was right about Matataro. He was there to convince his brother to change his ways. But it didn't go well and he killed his brother. It was nice of Heizou to let him go. It's unfortunate he died from an epidemic. Omasa was devastated. This was a good series. I liked it. |
 |
| Never did really feel like a finale but nonetheless it was a great episode. I'm glad Omasa was right about Matataro, too bad Bonkichi couldn't listen to his reason. Nice of Heizou to let Matataro go, his death to the epidemic was unfortunate and Omasa crying in the rain was very poignant. Overall, this was a great show, the episodic structure worked really well and every story that was told during these 13 episodes had a good amount of development and fitting conclusions be it happy or sad and portrayed a wealth of different themes, simply put the writing was great and really enjoyable and they brought out the historic setting quite well in my opinion. The characters were good, even the ones that appear for only an episode had a personality to them, Heizou in particular is a great character, righteous yet capable of showing compassion to a wrongdoer as he has proved on many occasions. The show started with an episode about Honor among Thieves and it ends with an episode about the very same thing. :) 8/10, It's highly unlikely we'll get an S2 but I'd love to see more stories. |
 |
| It was a good show. |
 |
| Personally my favorite part of the episode was at the end with Heizou comforting Omasa in the rain. The timing of the ending song with its lines about crying and the symbolic first tear being followed by rain pouring down on both was the best. I would have loved for this series to have 13 more episodes... |

| Wait is that it? MOAR MOAR give me more, please second season, this was such a remarkable anime all the from start till the end, thank god this anime did not disappoint me as many other from seasons did. During every episode i was super into the anime, like bam and 24 minutes are over. Perhaps anime's strongest point is to make you love the character within one episode. Matatoro is a great character, i really started to love him, he is super honorable, RIP him T_T This episode was quite bloody tho O_O and it all happened to the same guy, RIP nose and RIP arms. The end with Heizo telling her that Matatoro died from disease was a really strong scene, considering it was Omasa who saved him by saying he is a merchant, if he was arrested there by Heizo, he could have left the jail in couple of years and still be alive, so that must really hurt her T_T |
| Every episode, it had such a nice story. Almost every story brought tears to my eyes. This anime was amazing! 9/10! |

| Sad to see this highly underrated show go, really. I would honestly love another season. I liked most of the characters and Heizou was such a great character himself. I'm going to miss it. Pretty much one of my top favorites of the winter season. 9/10. |

Really nice Omasa centered episode and man I felt so bad for her there at the end....Matataro was a really great guy, may his soul RIP I REALLY wish that we could get a S2 but the odds of that happening seem pretty low :( Either way, this was without a doubt the hidden gem of the season and I loved every bit of it 9/10 |
| At first I wanted this to have an actual plot rather than being episodic, but the episodic nature of the show grew on me. I would have liked a happy ending, but not everything is fairy tales and roses. Nice finale, and overall a decent show. 6/10. |

| This anime was so sad yet so beautiful. It embodied perfectly what Japanese fiction is often about, human warmth, emotions, well, basically what's make us love fictional characters, their humanity. This was one of the best this season, it will probably not have a second season though. (╥﹏╥) This anime was in my opinion exceptional. I will trully miss this show. shotz said: This AFstill don't understand the lack of popularity. |

| Omasa's great, glad she got another episode, though it probably shouldn't have been the final. Someone sub the OVA please. |
| Sieg Zeon! |

| This show tends to be bittersweet at best, but it really sucks for Omasa that Matataro died back in Kyoto. I really enjoyed this show, as others have said it's a shame that it's not more popular because I'd love a second season. |
 |
| The ending came out of nowhere. "He died from an epidemic." What? Mixed feelings towards this anime in general. |
| A personal intrigue about one of the regular characters? Nice way to close the story. Especially since it reflects the first episode. 4/5 Good period cops procedural using a shared theme to tie independent cases together. Well rendered atmosphere.Constant 3DCGI walkers and several bad drawings make it less pretty than it could be. Score: 7/10 ======= @justlarry33 When they announced the episodes before the first airing, it was easy to guess the anime was going to be a "best of" featuring chosen intrigues among the loads of short stories available in the novels. |

| Thoroughly enjoyed! I would love to see another 13 episodes. If these episodes were based on true events in and around Heizo Hasegawa's life, he was a serious beast...kind...but a beast, nonetheless. 8/10 |
 |
| Another damn great episode! we got more history of the life of Omasa. Such a shame Matataro died because of an epidemic on Kyoto. 5/5. 8/10. - this is such an underrated show! |
 |
| Really enjoyed this anime. Every episode left me with some kind of over the top reaction! The ending definitely left me wanting more. |
| Don't feel like a finale, I hope we will have another season of little stories. All the stories were very good and sad for most of them. The edo period is one of my favorite so I inevitably liked the ambiance. Regarding the characters, Hasegawa is a good MC, but I would have liked that the other characters had more screen time. Good Seinen |
| Pulling the sums is not that I expect a lot from this series. The final is not bad as well as the whole episode. I have adored some aspects and I hope there is a sequel. I hope the animation studio you worked on can stage another project, but improve quality. 7/10 |
 |
| Really enjoyed this show. Characters were great, stories and overall atmosphere too. It's good to see more down to earth and mature show in 2017. Music was ok, as well as animation. Sometimes it looked like characters lacked some detail, but environment was great. Overall it was well developed, refreshing show. 8/10 |
| Great series! 7/10 Can't believe how underrated this series is. The plot, soundtrack, characters, visuals and verything are actually absolutely fantastic. Way to go. Fingers crossed for season 2. |

ItsXolo said: Bonkichi had a peculiar voice. I know right? I fell in love with his voice. Sounds like heaven lmao. |
"Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| I didn't expect this anime at first, really a good one. Usually Noitamina anime gave me surprise but this anime even beat noitamina anime this season. Does anyone have information about what is the OVA about? I hope it's a story about Ojun's past. |
| This needs a second season!! Felt sad about Omasa. =( Seems like nothing in the past goes well for her. |
 |
| Worst show ever I hardly finished it. |
| Aww poor Omasa her love has left her in such a lurch 9/10, second season please! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This episode didn't feel like a finale, but I stil think it was a good episode. For a new studio, I think they did a decent job with this series. I love the way they animated the action scenes in some episodes, I think it was very creative. Still need a lot of improvement on the animation, though. |
| A great final episode, it suits the series well - there was no overarching plot, so I didn't expect a special finale or anything. It was a nice show overall, nothing outstanding, but stays true to its style. I wish I could watch the OVA too, I heard it tells us more about Heizou's past. |
 |
| I'll miss this anime, because usually these kind of anime are my favorite. This one never disappointed, the series of stories about heizou were really good to watch. Others were sad like those from ep 7, ep 3 and this one, others were funny like those from ep 5 and 6 but others ep were alright. The animation was not up to standard but the plots made the show tolerable. 7/10. |

How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Pretty great show, though this wasn't the greatest episodes in my opinion. Though Bonkichi had a pretty noice voice. |
| "This is the best samurai anime Ive ever seen" doesnt quite fully explain my opinion of Onihei. The fact of the matter is: Onihei is literally the ONLY good samurai anime Ive ever seen. All other samurai anime are either (a) poorly made, (b) boring to watch most of the way through, (c) or have one-off gimmicks and the show is hardly about the samurai aspect or swordplay. Everything about it is good. Some of the best and smoothest sword fighting choreography Ive seen in anime. And there's a lot of exciting camera movement; and when the camera moves the background, all the layers from the foreground to midground all move accordingly. Crowds of people in the streets are not just frozen still, but are all moving naturally in different directions, and unsynchronized. All the 3D animation is smooth, and naturally blends with everything else. The setting is one of the most detailed and realistic representations of Edo Japan Ive seen. The story is episodic, but the events that happen are at least believable. This isnt some generic samurai soap drama, like "my family is at war with your family because your great-great-grand-daddy pissed in my great-great-grand-daddy's rice bowl" -- or the two other two stereotypes samurai stories typically fall under. No, Onihei is actually enjoyable to watch; which is refreshing, when lately, most samurai anime have become dull and stale. |
