Before, I used to think this anime was just mediocre, a 5 out of 10. I didn't see anything special in it, but it also didn't do anything wrong. It was the most lukewarm anime I had seen in years. But now I'm starting to consider it as a bad anime, all this nonsense about Tao and the characters learning instantly is too much for me.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Overexposition, plot armor, asspulls, pointless reinforcement dialogue, videogame cinematics, protagonists and enemies talking endlessly as if they were in a café

This thing is just getting worse when it was supposed to get better
"Chimp in state of nature never jerks off, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean? In state of nature he’s too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore the futility of all his efforts and all his actions."

i've said before and i'll say it again; even if all else looks bad, gabimaru's flames always look good.
wanna partake in some bochu jutsu fr, they want mei for that, rough. some more tao explanations.
horai looked good in the end though.

unfortunately, think i might decrease my rating again from 6, i don't recall the manga ever making me yawn.

The animation is, I'm sad to say, definitely below the standard for a studio like Mappa. And I feel kind of sorry for Yuji Kaku. First, Ayashimon gets canned, and now his manga adaptation gets subpar animation whilst his cousin and mentor (Fujimoto) gets one of the greatest adaptations of the last couple years.

I loved the manga and overall the show is still pretty solid. VA work is great, Op and Ed are dope, doing the story justice and not butchering it etc. It's just so effin' STIFF in it's animation. And if any adaptation deserves all the stops to be pulled out on the animation, it's Jigoraku. Some of Gabimaru's fights could've looked phenomenal had it got the Chainsaw Man treatment. Also, the drawings themselves are so FLAT compared to the manga's incredible panels with such heavy contrast and wild line work.

This episode wasn't as bad as some of the prior ones and I'll still continue to watch, I just wish that Jigoraku got the same love that JJK or CM got.

I'm glad the brothers didn't die. It seems Choubei and Gabimaru are the first of the humans to learn Tao although they did it using different methods. Choubei's body seems to be evolving beyond human capabilities, is he turning into Tensen or something completely different? His brother saw a vision of him changing, although it lasted but a moment. But then we have Gabimaru who managed to master tan to be on par with the Tensen, who have been at it for a millenia, in a matter of seconds. I call bullshit but fuck it, we ball.

Lol off topic but I wonder if characters are gonna start having sex now based on that information they got from bug dude. I see that one ninja chick trying to jump Gabimaru as an excuse to mature their Tao haha

The story is gradually amping up, while I'll admit I wasn't a fan of this show in the beginning but as they begin to give us some answers I'm starting to enjoy it more and more.
Plus Gabimaru is extremely likeable and has such a wholesome goal (To be with his wife)

My thoughts exactly, I can already see Yuzuriha trying to get Gabimaru to "train" with her and Gabi being just like "begone thot, I'm married". That said, there are only 2 (legal) female characters and like 7 male characters, if they choose to go down that route, Yuzuriha and Sagiri are going to be pretty busy.

Damn, imagine a 1,000 year orgy.

I assume what happened with Choubei was him taking a bite of that arm from the pit. He probably isn't on same level as the tensen since it probably was not uhm fermented (?) enough but he has a crazy power up now.

So from what is with Gabimaru going on I guess the point is to have sensitive feelings with a focus on a goal but a strong yet not overly exerted body.

Lol @ the "Chibimaru" comment.

You can see in the flashback she's her older self with breasts and all. I just dont quite get why she aged backwards after that point. Only thing I can think of is the sexual practices had left her drained so she aged and when she got away she was able to recover in time.
