Oh , that actually escalated a bit there. We learn more about Okita Shoji. And honestly, his past doesn't look very pleasant either. I wasn't expecting brainwashing this episode though.

Didn't expect Kondou to go out like that. At the end it looks like he gave his peace soul to Toshizou.

We finally get to know more about Okita Shoji. Kondo lost his life, that's too bad.

Wow, Okita has it rough, but he still sounds so lovely. With that glimpse of his past no wonder he's so loyal to Kondo. Which makes it all the more terrible that Il is using that to turn his power against them.

Kondo-san's singing...! Damn. I'm really sad he had to die, because his singing is so nice.

Alright episode. I just hate that they cut off the good music (the rock I mean) and replace it with Okita's pop music. lol

The CGI on the characters...it's so fucking cringe-worthy! DX

Kondo's death was pretty sad.

Random backstory episode about Souji eh :P Certainly didn't expect Kondo to have a Peace Soul ... except then it went to Hijikata when he died O_O I didn't expect him to die either ... well, it's all because Ii was controlling them with some spell? Hm ... I guess all 5 Peace Souls are here now? I don't really remember what that means though XD
Again, more songs ... Kondo's song was interesting, kinda fit him :P Though Souji's song after was kind of weird especially the dance and how Hijikata was just kinda there XD
Just like I expected, those 5 charas have the peace souls ... and they might join forces next time! More awesome music please! :P

not really sure why the chose a song that sounded more like 'rock' to be Souji's song while he was brainwashed and singing heaven's song?? same thing but flipped with the song that he sang after snapping out of the brainwashing because it sounded a lot more like pop music than.... rock.... even though he was singing with the peace soul....

Haha yeah that's why I was confused when I heard Feedback of the first song last episode. Well no matter what OnoKen doesn't really have the rock voice anyways, I think both songs sound poppish.

Kondo :( wasn't expecting anyone to die in my idol/band music anime but damn. Also, really wondering what's up with the guy who looks like a girl. He was able to make Ii (that his name?) retreat.

I hope it's rock. I love pop, but these pop songs are pretty mediocre.

Sadly yeah. Only the main three have a rock voice so far. Mostly, Tatsun actually LOOL

You shouldn't, this show is so Immature its funny, and that is one of the reasons i'm watching it (So bad, yet so good).

Chills feels and a bit of backstory, can it get any better?

lol im still wondering why i still watch this show, but i just keep watching
the songs are all great~ they were so close to playing "what's this" xD
peace soul transferring to hijikata was predictable
RIP Kondo

They shouldn't really try hard with the dramatics. Seriously. Although I wasn't really expecting anyone to die, but, err, well... okay. I didn't even have feels for Kondo dying, although it's such a waste, he had too much potential.

Also, Kondo's singing voice doesn't fit his character design...? But nice song.

Though anyway!!! Okita's Feedback for me wasn't powerful, but this new one was definitely better! Totally loving ittttttttttt. ;u;

Can't wait for the next episode. Hopefully, they start to work as five?? Or idk?? But yeah. I want the OT5 song soon!! And Ryoma hating heaven's songs....... hmm.

Edit: Listened to the last song again. The first lines' tunes reminded me of Let Her Go...? IDK.

I liked Okita's first song more XD
Kondo literally died because he disliked this very song.

I always wanted to say this:
One female supporting character wouldn't really hurt in this show.

Uhm what? Ryoma hates Heaven's Song now? The song Soji was forced to sing is Heaven's Song? O.O

Can't believe Kondo just passed away like that. Good to know the Shinsengumi are actually good guys.

kondo's death was so random to me i caught myself laughing instead of getting sad. and he was one of my favourite characters!

somehow i feel this is not as funny as the beginning and it's kinda sad... maybe the absurdity is wearing off. but it's still entertaining.
