| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good OP song, definitely had a good amount of production quality poured in. It has montage of most of the main leads too. Loved the action sequences and although it still felt like a talky episode in the second half, it did establish its principle cast. Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki is starting to become my favorite in this series now. He brings in a brighter mood into the show and even has a GUN. Pretty balanced episode. The ending gave me some thrills. |

| The episode took way too long to introduce the characters, it was super dull and there was almost no OST playing for minutes. The last few minutes of the episode were great though, so they made up for it a little. The ED was alright. |
| Cool Mucchan (Mutsunokami) has arrived finally he managed to controlled a gun now. Yagen attack moves are too fast and im so happy They are introducing too long I thought its their honmaru but its inn.. kiya Yagen introducing himself is too funny😍😍 I dont have any idea what is that foreingner saying, but its pretty useful in the story to think that the ship will be exploding and gonna start a war in tht ship😍as expected from ufotable still Tsurumaru is not still appearing they are only 5 and cant wait to use the team 1 the Mikazuki team Oodenta, Namazuo, Manba, Sohayano😚😚 the ending is expected to be a sad song.Plus their masters like Oda, Sakamoto appeared in the ending video. of course Its Kalafina after all. |

| Well, It Took Long For The Introduction of the characters >.< The OP Was Good and The ED too >.< |

| It wasn't a bad episode Better than the first one for sure |
| Great ED and OP (Sounds like Kalafina for the ED) Episode was pretty fun, good introductions all around, amazing and tense action sequences and great visuals from beginning to end |
| The OP was good but I didn't like the song that much, the ED was fine. They basically let everyone in the castle die, some great time guardians they are ts ts ts. Also, was it really necessary for them to have all these long-ass names? It'll take me some time to memorize them. So far all the characters are fine, but I'm starting to dislike the guy with the piston, he's pretty annoying. Other than that, this was a pretty ok episode. |

| Well, not a bad episode to say the least thanks to the rather interesting second half of the episode. Definitely better than the first though but still not quite fluent, I reckon. Not a bad pick for the Op and ED but nothing noteworthy in this case. The action sequences looked quite appealing during the first half as well so that's a bonus. |

| I think that was rather good than bad and a bit better than last week, but I'm still not completely sold. In terms of action this show is still doing a good job with it's presentation. Definitely fun to watch. I also liked the opening. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty decent followup episode. Action is great as always. :) Episode was quite heavy with the introduction. so it did feel a little dull at points but it wasn't bad at all. It'll take some time for me to recognize character by their names. It's interesting how all of them are actually the swords of various historic people. So this time renegade army or whatever attempts to disrupt history while these guys attempt to let it flow the way it should. Let's hope everything works out well after the Renegade army's attempt to instigate war. |
 |
| Nice OP and I liked the ED (Of course it's because of Kalafina) An ok episode overall. It managed to introduce all the characters and it had some good action. |
 |
| Love this ep as well! Mutsu is a GOOD BOY, he eats a lot xD We got intruduction between the sword boi, but Yagen make it akward lol KALAFINA ED, THEY SHOWED THE SWORDS' ORIGINAL MASTERS |
 |
| Overall it was pretty good. I'm looking forward to the next episode, it seems is gonna be lit. |
| Ahh, this episode was just as I expected it to be. Interesting for the actions parts and boring/tedious for the rest until the next big thing happened. Horikawa was not focused on much in this episode so I couldn't gauge if ufotable fixed the issues I had with his characterization in the first episode ( kinda glad they didn't focus on him much ). The introduction scene felt pointless to me especially since most of the swords in that group know each other from the Citadel ( as they even pointed out in the episode themselves ) and it felt like a forced way of introducing the audience to the characters. Generic anime type introduction as well- coupled with the unnatural flow of the conversation and the character who initiated the introduction circle repeating what the person who introduced themself already said along with some added trivia - as per the usual. Was not as clumsily written as Hanamarus introduction sequences but I guess it felt extra tedious to me since I already know the characters well and it felt drawn out. Putting this under spoiler because its long. |
| Overall it was pretty good. I'm looking forward to the next episode, it seems is gonna be lit. |
| I got bored. Hanamaru was more exciting. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| this anime is slow paced for sure |
at least some of a dialogues are nice like this one |
| another zestiria, ufotable level graphic and then nothing else |

| This episode was boring, not because there wasn't much action after the beginning, but it was just filled with introductions that weren't even, imo, interesting. Again, probably because I really don't like Mutsu, and don't care for Izumi or Horikawa or Tonbokiri. Yagen was chill though, as always. Also the attempted "comedy" wasn't even humorous. I haven't been following news on the series, so finding out that they're second unit was nice. Save the best for last I guess? |
| Hmm maybe it's just me but I found the episode thoroughly enjoyable. Sure the introductions were long but for the most part it was quite natural since Horikawa is a newb and needed the intros. Mucchan (Mutsunokami) seemed to be the center for this particular episode and I'm not complaining because he was my starting sword (still one of my faves too). Only issues I found from this episode aside from usual ufotable directing are what seemed like a forced conflict between Mucchan and kanesan (more of that scene when Mucchan left for the port, like that was rather random), and also yagen's more lone wolf-personality that I felt wasn't true to his persona in the source material where he was chill but still more sociable. But then again this is the 2nd episode and I'm also still waiting for Tsurumaru so we'll see how this develops I suppose. |

Saniwa just poofs him there because they need a final member and apparently tsurumaru is strong and experienced so. ( idk why they didn't send him in the first place ) |

| This anime has all the tools to be successful quality characters, a good concept, and lots of action and adventure! I like the direction the anime is started down in this second episode and the fluid animation of fight sequences is top notch! I can't wait to see the next episode |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |

Shit, Tonbokiri time traveled 54 times so it must have been a while. |
| Fun episode but it was dragged out a bit. Maybe I was just to sleepy but oh well. Opening is great! |
 |
| This entire episode was incredibly meh. |
| I had a feeling something big and bad was about to happen the moment they started talking about the fire being spread further than before. Could be a big war coming. |

| Decent episode. Action scenes was pretty good. The character's introductions was a bit long though. Mutsunokami is quite energetic. Looks like the Time Renegade Army wants to start a war. |

Too bad..I want to see that part(saniwa forged them) :/ Yup its must been a while, actually i know why they decide to adapt tourabu with that timeline, they want to avoid inexperienced/noob saniwa trope or how he was choosed, how they can back to past etc, I think that will be too hard for ufo to write the story lol. |

Yeah ufotable is taking a lot of liberties/writing shortcuts which is why so far Katsugeki feels less like a Touken Ranbu anime adaptation and more like a ufotable anime ft. Sword boys lmao I think we can agree that ufotables writing choices for this anime are very strange |
