| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was one of my favorite episode. I liked how they used the side-scrolling and vertical-scrolling effect to make some battle scenes to look like a video game. Also, the dialogues in this episode had very crucial information about the background of this show, especially about the Shichika's family and Nanami's past. Finally, Togame's intelligence continues to impress me. She's probably one of the smartest strategist I've ever seen in Anime. Oh, and her new hair style is hot! (it might be disappointing to some people though...) If you're curious, feel free to check out my steaming-fresh review. https://blogs.emory.edu/animec/2010/07/10/katanagatari-07/ |

| I just finished watching the Japanese version and you may need to wait a day or so for the fansub. Btw, no link on fansub is allowed on myanimelist forum... |

| Haha, a sword with that power was an inevitability. They wouldn't have spoiled Nanami's death last episode so blatantly otherwise. It was kind of funny how parts of the episode were like a side scrolling action game, and you only really see the characters mouth's move in dialogue sequences. Shows how far down production values have gotten. |

Next episode is the puppet,Biyori.It has 4 arm and 4 leg 0.0 .I think the action will be good ^^ Thanks for reading my review! That was very detailed explanation. Anyway, after reading your writing, the story of Katanagatari makes much more sense. :) Fifty minutes full of dialogue can be quite difficult to comprehend and it's easy for me to loose track of import bits of details. Oh, regarding the comment on my blog, it was actually submitted but filtered as a spam for some reason. Your comment should now be up there as I restored it. I'll look into the wordpress's spam filter system. |

stevewiess01 said: Ya I know, it seem the Anime did not explain it,but I saw saw the electric spark ^^ .So you could say its a electric needle therapy.The Akuto Bita look like a KUNAI right?About the Akudo Bita, I don't think the anime explained in that amount of detail. I suppose you have already the light novel. Maybe I should pick up the novel some time in the future. :) 苦無KU means "suffering" and NAI means "No/nothing" Ku+Nai= No suffering.LOL ...when people wear this sword they will suffer no pain/suffering but will take damage to the body.Actually there is alot of explanation in the novel and probably I forgot most of them ..... |
| Nanami is a monster trapped in human skin. |
| By now, I can't decide if I watch this for Togame and Shichika, or if it's all for Nanami~ x'D Well anyway, Nanami <3 Also, I liked that part of this episode was kind of like a side-scrolling RPG xD (Not just side-scrolling actually, but w/e) Togame's hair D: And.. Nanami~ ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡ |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| This was an epic episode. I'm actually going to miss Nanami though. |
| Doesn't her skill make her the strongest? Think about it, a skill that could copy any move. And besides she said that all of what she learned was inferior to her "own" power. If she would've used her full strength with Akutou Bita, Shichika would've been, *cough* ... I'm sorry... OBLITERATED! But she didn't, I haven't read the manga but she surely must be the strongest right? |

The narrator did that, what I was spoiled about was: Pardon me if I spoiled you (at least there was a spoiler unlike the time I was spoiled); but, this way at least I feel better of the fact that it wasn't just me. Seriously though... this amazing episode is so sad :'( The ED brought me to tears. |

| This episode was amazing. Or perhaps, depressing? Either way works. |
 |
| Great episode as usual; Katanagatari never disappoints. The scene when Nanami slashes her way through the Shireisan grounds in top-down 2D must have been an homage to Pocky & Rocky - at least I'll tell myself that. I'll say it again: anime of the year, no doubt about it. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| The 2D part is suppose to be a serious part of EmonZaemon's explanation on Nanami's movement and I can't believe that part is so funny!!!! Is there any one can do a gift image for me on that part pls^^ |
| epic episode though ill miss Nanami loved the 2D side scrolling and the RPG elements next episode looks intense |
| NANAMIIIIIIIIIIIII ! My beautiful picture of her. :'( |
 |
| Great episode... great face off between the siblings and info about their family's technique. "They are a sword who cannot use a sword." Wow... that's crazy... |
 |
| Man, I got one heck of a Touhou vibe off this episode. Great episode! ^^ |
 |
| I thought the video game side scrolling stuff and RPG looking stuff was amusing. I'm also glad they killed off Nanami. I didn't like her character. Togame's new hairstyle is cute. I like it. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| Great episode! The 2D side scrolling scene seemed like it was based off the Pocky & Rocky (aka Kiki Kaikai) games. Does anyone know the name of the reggae/rap song at the end where Shichika and Togame were on the ship? Dang someone already beat me to the Pocky and Rocky ref. |
| *sniff* This kinda sucked. Nanami died, The Maniwani only showed up for five minutes, tops, and Shiki-boy was put through yet another traumatizing loss in his family. Togami looked much better with long hair, imo. I can't help but *almost* cry for Nanami, her life must have been horrible. Also, the ghosts of their parents, was that just her imagination, or was it the sword doing that? |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| Togame with short hair? Fuck this shit. |

DoubleDango said: You and me both, then. ;_;The ED brought me to tears. I love the episode. Nanami! ;__; |
| Hi! My name is yama. I am niced to meet you. |
| *sniffles* Togame should have died instead. |

| Believe it or not this was the worst episode so far for me. |
| I'd say this was second to worst. The worst is absolutely the first episode for me. The 2D stuff was a clever way to sidestep the fact that they had a smaller budget for the episode, but every other facet of the production seemed very cheap in a way that was disappointingly unexpected, especially for such a tense moment of development for Shichika and Nanami's death. Since she's my favorite character on the show, and just one of my favorite characters in a while, I'm very sad that this didn't really capture a whole lot of her despair the way her devoted episode did. I'm also glad she cut Togame's hair. I was getting tired of it, and it's a cute cut. Still a good episode, though. Just not as great as the others. |
| "I 'absorbed' techniques from others in order to be weaker, since my body cannot withstand my own strength" WTF! She is soooo Kenpachi lol! Anyway, great episode I'm a bit sad about Togame's hair though but we'll have to live with it; or not? Next month, next month... stevewiess01 said: Wrong!

| For some reason the atmosphere of this episode made me laugh at the poor jokes. 2D effect was cool. Was a good episode overall, but i agree they didn't get enough of Nanmi's emotions expressed. Was she really suffering so much?... I don't know if i like the haircut. Will have to get used to it. |

| This episode was pretty underwhelming, considering all the hype for Nanami, etc. I still liked it, though. Nanami was my favorite character too. |

| Good bye Nanami, she is such a wonderful character What a peaceful scene in the end between Nanami and Shichika, i almost cried |
 |
| "The katanas have too much design freedom!" ROFL If only this show had a little more budget... it would have been perfect. |
| I agree about the budget - the show could have be truly amazing. - I don't know if I care for the new haircut but it definitely makes her look more action figure-ish. - Not my favorite ep but a good one |

| I'm going to miss Nanami...I really liked her. I loved this episode as it had be in total awe and I was also bawling by the end. This episode really exceeded my expectations...but now I expect the rest to be even better! ...although I can already see myself being a bit disappointed at one point or another within the last 5 episodes. Although what I still don't get is...why was Nanami unable to die an ordinary death? shouldn't her weak body eventually give away, if old age or illness doesn't kick in first? Her fighting skills are strong, but her body isn't...Oh well, my guess is that she didn't want to live as an outcast by her father, calling her a monster and all, or she didn't want to live through the suffering of having a frail body not being able to handle her immense strength, or she wanted to be killed by Shichika rather than let her own weakness or some illness kill her off. In any case, She looked satisfied as she was still his older sister to the end (on the inside) and seemed to really love Shichika, as evident by the last flashback scene of their childhood...which was so incredibly sweet that I teared. I also love Togame's new haircut. And dammit, spoilers....really takes the excitement out of things and leaves me with dissatisfaction and/or disappointment instead. I guess that was my fault for underestimating the spoiler button. |

| wow so the reason why nanami copies other peoples abilities is to make herself weaker and thus making her live more because using only her power will make her body overload and boom her body will self-destruct |
| It's what amapressing. :) Anyways, loved this episode, same if i have been trolled. XD |
|
| I don't know if I should be depressed or happy now that Nanami's gone. She played the antagonist well(very well indeed I might add) in this episode specially when she cut Togame's hair which even roused whatever feelings I had for her. On one end Togame is left with a bob-cut, and on the other, we say farewell to Nanami....I should say this was a sh!t episode due to losing a great character but I'm loving it even more... R.I.P Nanami...you will be missed  |
4kicks said: And dammit, spoilers....really takes the excitement out of things and leaves me with dissatisfaction and/or disappointment instead. I guess that was my fault for underestimating the spoiler button. I know right? I pressed that spoiler button too. I've got into the bad habit of just thinking that they are pictures instead of actual spoilers. And that was one hell of a spoiler :( So, if any one has not yet pressed DoubleDango's spoiler on page 1.... DO NOT DO IT! |

ilikeyouevenmore said: So, if any one has not yet pressed DoubleDango's spoiler on page 1.... DO NOT DO IT! ^^^^^^ Also, spoiler tags are to be used for information BEYOND the CURRENT episode, not to hide shit like Nanami's death or Togame's hair. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
