Konayuki is.... is... HHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! *Dies*

Killing a whole clan of supermen and women like that... Nanami is one heck of a scary yandere, worse than a monster yet so moe... Creepy.

Those Maniwa people are sure a crazy bunch. I liked Togame's "so what?". :] She'd do well on the interweb.

FU narrator, FU! Whether you're trolling or not, the result is still the same, so FU! >:(

THIS DAMN ANIME...MONTH AFTER MONTH...




MEGATRON said:
Yeah, the delivery was so casual with that too.



I was amazed by that. It was completely out of nowhere. I don't know whether to be extremely pissed off, or if I should just laugh at it. Could be a troll. Might not be. After episode 4, I wouldn't rule anything out. Anyway, I'm sure we're in for another great episode next month. If Nanami is killed, however, I know I'll be sad to see her go. =(


As for the actual episode itself, I'm enjoying the interactions between Shichika and Togame as usual. Shichika, especially, has grown a lot over the course of this journey. Usually he wouldn't hesitate at all when it comes to killing his opponent, but these past two episodes have changed that. I'm definitely happy Konayuki survived in the end. Maybe we'll see her in the future.

Nanami is so popular 0.0
I wonder if Shichika will hesitate to kill her or not ?
The Yasuri family are always killing each other......
Where is the mother??

The only thing that the preview spoil is that they show Nanami annihilate the village of Seiryouzan.And Togame's hair been cut short ^^
Nanami gonna die or not is just your wild imagination,,,but Shichika will fight Nanami and the Bita will be collected by Togame as always. End

Something about this episode made me feel continuously underwhelmed. I liked a lot of the moments with Shichicka and Togame, except for at the beginning on the mountain. That was pretty out of place, and, dare I say, useless. I don't know. I liked all of the developments, and how things progressed, but something was missing.

Then again, is it really a spoiler if it's something the producers themselves want you to know?

Either way, things are really starting to get interesting; I can't wait wait to see how things unravel.

I will attempt to agree with you. If i can i won't have to whine which is a better option. However this episode was somewhat lacking at times, although i didn't quite have to force myself to finish it.

Hmmm... Did they really obtain 6th katana? I saw it was on that little girls back... So they have only 5 swords, they didn't get any this episode.

No they obtained it. She's the only one who can carry it so they asked Konayuki to take the sword to the government, shougunate or whatever it's called.

I'm confused about Nanami.

Assuming she retrieved Bita from Shireizan just recently, how was she able to endure her illness until now? I always assumed she "couldn't die" because she had Bita from the start inside her body or something. How does its powers work, exactly?

I loved this episode, there was a nice amount to digest. And that little (super strong) girl was too cute! Once again this show keeps changing just enough. Another sword is collected, but the situations never become predictable or standard. I'm going to do my best not to think of all the damn information they threw at us at the end of the episode and in the previews. I'm going to focus on the things that didn't annoy me.

Why would they tell us that he's going to kill her? I think we're being trolled again. If not, that is a shit move and I've lost a little respect for this show. I don't watch previews so I won't be spoiled, and to have them say something like that for the last line of the ep is not cool.

It was quite obvious Shichika was going to have to kill his sister eventually. I didn't think they would do it so soon though.

I love this anime, I would rate it a 10 if it wasn't for the art, specifically whats-his-name's eyes, they're so bland. Still his eye's seem to suit him because they seem to give off a clueless feature about him. Other than that, I love the colors and the story so far, I don't think there is a story that matches my ideal so closely as this so far.

Edit: When I immediately heard that the village was destroyed(can't remember which episode was the first) by a beast within half an hour, I already knew it was his sister. After all, she did say she needed to join in the sword gathering, and she is just freaking scary...

I'm not too worried about the spoil... maybe it's a troll, maybe not. But the show keeps suprising me from one episode to the next, so I think whatever they do will be interesting... Even watching Shichika change is entertaining.

Okay, first time I'm going to give my insights on Katanagatari.

Yes, I really like the show. It's a bit dialog intensive but I like the story and the action.

There is one thing bothering me.

What happened to Hakuto Hari at EP4? Why did they didn't show what happen? Will they ever show it? Though I do like the episode because of Nanamil lol.

I heard that the light novels didn't grasp the battle parts in episode four. So they just ended up winning and got the sword.

I am excited to see next month's episode. The long wait is killing me.

Probably the best episode so far!

Konayuki is awesome, Muscle-Bound Moe FTW!!

The "Rabid Dog" was bad ass, I wish they would have kept her in the HOTT! faster body. But I knew right when the one dude said she could only transfer to female bodies that she would go into Konayuki's.

Next ep should be tight, but WTF? on the

Konayuki is adorable to the max! XP.. Good episode but it lacked the scene and score ties. It seemed a little out of place maybe. But the next episode looks insane! No more Nanami! :( Even though she scares the life out of me :l

I like Nanami, but no offense to her fans, I'd rather have her die than Shichika. I love Shichika, and him dying would definitely be sad. Anyways, this episode was awesome, and I would really like to see more of Pengin...he was so cute. Konayuki was cute too and a pretty awesome character as well.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Nooooo Shichika lost? Like for real? :( I was so sad when I watched the fight, I really wanted him to win... Wel at least he won but that didn't really count, did it?

But well yeah, really nice episode but omg what a spoiler for the next one o.o" I did guess he would've ended up fighting against his sister (since that mind shaped woman showed a flashback with her, killing the entire clan) but I didn't expected them to spoil the outcome already?...

An awesome episode, the little girl was really great to appear on their journey! I felt quite sad when she was taken over by that blue girl, good that he could remove and didn't have to kill her! Was also quite nice to have an intimate moment between the two main characters!

Great episode totally loved it!

Yes anime, please spoiler the opponent of the next episode, thank you... And it wasn't even the preview... I hope they'll troll us again and Nanami won't be all evil and/or get killed.

If they aren't trolling like in episode 4 then that was a huge mood killer. Awful.


Freakishly strong and cute snow girl. I'm glad Shichika didn't kill her.
