Another solid episode, I'm enjoying this series a lot.

It would have been really hard to top the last ep so I was fine with what we got. At least there was some level of character and relationship development.

Next ep looks good

The only thing i dont love about this anime is the wait between episodes.

It was pretty funny seeing Shichika getting jealous without realizing what it was.

and if you have seen any British movie or movie with British settings you might have heard it being said once or twice.

i wonder how he will change once he develops some common sense, as well as feelings for togane.

Ahaha, Shichika was jealous xD That was funny.
Man, I like him so much.
Though the two of them are shaping up to be quite the anti-heroes - first Shichika killing Meisai with a smile on his face, now Togame's strategies for obtaining the armour...Seriously, if this keeps up...

Also, yay for an actually competent Maniwani dude! xD

Shichika was all sorts of awesome in this episode <3
"I somehow got the urge to tease you..."
"Don't touch my women!"


I have no complaints here! A Maniwani actually survived an episode too (minus one arm) which makes me like it even more. Plus I loved Shichika 'teasing' and Togami's outburst xD

Do I sense jealousy? Well I did for awhile. And it was actually a funny development in the story. It's perfectly natural, and the show treated it as such. I wasn't disappointed in anything for a moment. And I actually feel silly for complaining about the dialogue in the first episode, when I'm hanging on every word in the fifth.

Finally, it felt like it was a conscious decision to Aketaru alive. A decision I liked. This show tries and succeeds at not being predictable, but consistent. And I'm impressed with it so far.

Yeah, finally he lets a former sword-owner live. Although I wonder if it would have been better to let him die, so he didn't have to live with his sister's death any longer than he already has, and being rejected by Togame. It's pretty cool to see, you know? I also found Shichika's expressions hilarious when she was coming up with ways to get the armor-sword.

Anyone else surprised during the onsen scene? I'd have thought that Togame would do the blushing tsundere thing, but like she said later in the ep, "I don't feel embarrassment". We sure realised that, after she was staring at Shichika's junk for so long.

I still think that the romance between the two is very forced: Togame decided he should fall for her, and then in one ep he said he had. She even mentions that he wouldn't try anything with her. I realise this is probably because Shichika's been so isolated, so IMO the best part of this ep was definitely the scenes where he's jealous and he doesn't realise it.

Almost yes. It was a very good episode as usual, and although the series is extremely dialogue-based, it's really well-directed and much more coherent and consistent than Bakemonogatari. I have almost no complaint about it, Katanagatari is a great mix of romance, adventure and action with a lot of creativity involved.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Hm, I don't know about that. As you said, he'd been isolated for 20 years on an island with his father and his sister alone. It's not really surprising when he falls in love with the first girl that ever interacts with him that's not related to him, not to mention that she's pretty hot (falling in love at first sight isn't really that uncommon, even if it's mere physical attraction and not love). He's not as emotionally mature as he should be at that age.
But that's just my opinion.

Well...The Armour is damn heavy and the impact on the ground will send damage from the ground to the Armour directly into the body including the brain.A sudden shake inside the brain will cause the guy to faint.
( this only works If the weight of the body + Armour are heavy )
This concept is also the reason why Shicika's ultimate skill can't work on him.
If you are confuse then don't think so much about it because the secret will be reveal a few episode ahead.

Didn't realize Togame had such great breasts. Wow xD. Too bad Shichika doesn't feel anything when they were in the onsen. But I like it that he is slowly developing feelings for Togame and reasoning by himself. I lol'ed at his teasing of Togame.

I was pretty surprised when that Maniwani cut off his arm. No Maniwani death but there are 3 who died last episode so it's ok. Looks like an ambush next episode.

Really thought Togame was connected to the armor dude but she wasn't. The fight was kinda cool but how it ended was pretty lame. Still, we see that Shichika can panic a little and he's physically strong.

Pretty hard to top off episode 4 but this one has its merits. We see some developments and progress. Now to wait for another month...unless the 6/4 at the preview means June 4, then it's pretty soon.

Loved Togame's confusion about Cheerio. That was very cute side of her. But for me, Gyafun > Cheerio. :)

Today's lesson : never trust the pirate XD.

A truce with the maniwani, didn't expect that we have the 1st ninja to survive.
This time another good episode, i like the development in their relationship like at first Togame didn't trust him, now he trust him and looks like Shichika already developed some feeling towards Togame although he doesn't realize it.

To be honest,the pirate is very rational during negotiations.Even Shichika lose, Togame will still able to gather the sword,even Shichika win the pirate will let him take the sword and also let them free from the sea port.
No matter how I look,the pirate seem the get all the bad part of the negotiation while togame get the good part >.<.I think today's lesson is "Never fall in love" or "love is stronger than the poison of the sword"

Ohh.....but anyway,that bring in another question.Why the pirate knows where Soutou is? lol
Maybe Azekura just want revenge and randomly send them to Ezo,but Ezo hold the sword of Soutou Kanatzuchi which Togame knows this very well also.And still nothing bad happen to Togame's mission....

Maybe because of their netwotk? they usually go from one place to another place, but it could be he just want revenge and randomly send them, Who knows :).

Yeah, she knows that but i feel a little sorry for her. she was thinking to do this sword collecting more slower but that wish isn't going to happen lol.

I gonna faint if this go any slower than that.I think If Azekura didn't send them to Ezo,I think the trip(honeymoon) will take 2 year to finish. LOL
About the network, its true because the pirate have good connection.That is why the pirate knows Togame very well.
Usually I think big guy are usually dump and stupid,but Azekura seem to be the opposite ^^

nice episode as always
this time it was more comedy than in the last one
Togame also had some crazy scenes in this episode, the head massage was funny as well as Shichika's teasing.

the onsen scene was nice,too
Togame has some nice curves, too bad the nipples were missing ; (

one questions comes into my mind how can an armor be a sword?

these Maniwani costumes are getting more and more ridicolousXD

"The sword instruct man to make sword for war".Well this is Shikizaki's Motto I found in the novel.Its kinda confuse but I think it will solve your question LOL.
Of course sword has no mind and can't instruct man to do thing but sword IS a weapon of war and it drive people into war just like this.its just because of this, people go to war to make all sort sword(weapon).
人は刀をつくるじゃない、刀は人をつくる
people don't make sword,but sword make people to make >.<
If I am not mistaken,It is something like this......(the sentence also show how important the sword is to human.)
