It must have been Misogyny Monday the way Genji was talking down to Sagiri and encouraging her to leave because this is "too much for a woman." Love that she found some new resolve after a surprising heart-to-heart with Gabimaru. Trouble shows up at the end, but I'm glad Rokurota got Genji out of the way lol, RIP bozo you won't be missed.

The cut to Nurugai and Tenza's dilemma was good too. Tenza is an idiot but he has a good heart, not wanting to see a little kid get executed. Lol at the gender confusion. Slower episode this week but still good.

I mean, calling him a sexist is a cheap copout. I will say he was pushing it a bit too much, but he did have  good reason. Even the other Samurai was in agreement. She was showing a lack of resolve, and her inexperience on the battlefield was telling. As for the baby stuff, it's not unreasonable given the context of the story.
Yeah, i think maybe it's a difference of culture and time and he was actually more worried about her but she showed her resolve and he smiled. well, until he got btfo by monster-bro.

Genji was getting on my nerves with all that bs. To make matters worse, he steps out of line by attacking Sagiri, then hides behind his rank after shamefully losing his sword to someone he treated as inferior.
Peak maidenless behavior right there. Good riddance.

I like how both guys who trash-talked Sagiri got one-shoted by Rokurota.
Rokurota is not listening to this crap. Rokurota is the GOAT.

Gabimaru finally decided to be honest with himself... he needs to lay low after the chaos. Yuzuriha and Sagiri are beautiful as always, and the Yamada clan memories were decisive to the young samurai's choice.

Dropped.

5 episodes is more than enough of this trash. This show stinks. It doesn't even look good outside of the opening. What happened there? This show has neither a good story nor good animation. It has nothing going for it.

There's around 15 different characters and not a single one has had any sort of interesting backstory, personality, or motivation shown so far. NOT A SINGLE ONE. I don't care at all about Sagiri's struggles. One second it's that she's haunted by the ghosts of people she has killed, the next it's her daddy issues, and now it's that she struggles with society disapproving of her being a woman with a sword. All three are BORING. It's just very shallow stuff.

And, I don't even understand this Genji idiot. Spends half the episode begging her to get off the island on a boat because she's a woman, but when she refuses he tries killing her? Wtf? Why waste your time bugging her to leave if you're just gonna murder her? So dumb

I have a huge crush on Sagiri... and having her hair down made her look even more prettier.

Her surprising reaction towards how Gabimaru asked how her health is. Everything to her reaction and dialogue makes my heart beat.

Nurugi and her executioner seem to have great chemistry. Not only did they work well together, they both made it out of that tentacle-kraken ship battle alive.
Nurugi's executioner is the real mvp for snapping her back to reality and giving her purpose for living.

We get to see more of Sagiri's perspective. She wants to continue the warrior route of becoming a samurai. She does not want to live the life of a normal woman.
Leaving the island will hurt her pride. What I love about her character is that she's not afraid to stand up for herself. Sagiri wants to be recognized as a strong, independent, woman.
The interaction between Gabimaru and Sagiri at night time was endearing. Gabimaru was worried about her condition. Which is sweet.

Also that cliff hanger at the end felt abrupt.

I like that we get to see Sagiri take in what each person has to say and make her own decision, but seriously getting tired of every antagonist to her character just being blanket misogynistic. There are other flaws she has that isn't 'you have a uterus'. Hell Gengi even implies some of it with her not being in a state of mind to kill someone and that her skills aren't necessarily suitable for the battlefield they found themselves on. Having characters lean in on the flaws she is trying to grow through would be just better writing at this point then girl bad. I get societal and time period context, and that can play into their actions but it doesn't have to be the only reason for their actions every single time.

Crazy cliffhanger. Now that we've got our main cast introduced, it's time for things to get crazy. 
  
Not gonna lie, I feel pretty attached to all the remaining pairs. It's gonna be hard to root against any of them. Hopefully they end up banding together vs the island so they don't have to kill amongst themselves.

Another character development driven episode to be watched here and it's amazing actually, the whole Sagiri and Genji convo of the whole term sexism is always unbearable to watch. Ofc i would always treat woman as equally as possible if i ever could. Also that last scene being the giant of bizen rippin like half of the dude's stomach was funny asf for some reason imho XD, mainly cause he got yeeted right after the whole convo thing going on.
+ The Gabimaru and Sagiri talk of "people understands themselves less than we might think until they act, anyway" is a top notch quote of all time frfr.

Hoping Tenza and Nurugai survive this dark mess of an island though.

5 episodes in and I can say this show is a huge miss so far.

The characters and their "backgrounds stories" are clichéd, the story so far is non existent, I don't feel intrigued by the "mystery" factor, animation is not bad but far from good enough to carry a mid anime (Demon Slayer I'm thinking about you), the episodes feels repetitive (A background story of a character is shown, the main characters dealing with inner struggles, some action - rinse, repeat).

It isn't clicking for me at all, hopefully it will get better soon but I doubt it.

HAHAHA EXACTLY DUDE.
Took the words right out of my mouth, way too much is going on; it's such a overly rapid sense of progression with an onslaught of side characters with backstories immediately thrown right at us. It just doesn't give us time to breathe.
Sagiri is the closest to being a fleshed out character but she's probably not gonna be able to carry this series.

This was another great episode. I think it was a lovely introduction to Nurugai and Tenza. Their duality is one of the best in series. Sagiri’s convictions were brought out really well in this episode and her development is simply going to go up from here. Cannot wait for the next episode when they smoke (hint hint) the big guy.

I adore how Gabimaru and Sagiri are a support. And above all, I like how Sagiri despite everything, does not give up. I love Tenza and Nuragi, I hope to see a lot more of them. It seems that the giant does not like misogynists

Tenza and Nurugai bonding was quite nice. I really liked them when I read the manga. On the other hand, Big Foot is back which will be a bit of a problem.

People got baited so easily by Genji when he is obviously just there to show how tough Sagiri is but she already got beaten down by Gabi so she is still weak.

This episode was alright I guess? I still really don't know how to feel about this show

Main highlights for me were the little bit of lore/info we got about the island, Sagiri standing up for herself, and I guess the kid and the samurai trying to escape and teaming up, but that's about it. I will admit though, that whole scene where Sagiri stands up for herself felt almost forced I guess? It's hard to describe but it felt almost dragged out too long or something

I was totally expecting Genji to have been testing Sagiri's resolve all this time with that misogynistic speech so I was a bit surprised when he turned out to be actually a misogynist. Well, he's no longer a misogynist at least.

Also, I hope that marks the last backstory we have seen and now we get some side character progression instead.
