| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Strange, but okay to watch. I like the opening a lot. |
| I'm pretty sure it's impossible to run that far that fast while wearing samurai armor. Still a fun show, even if it was surprisingly over the top in parts. |

| I read the manga and saw the raw at the same time, it seems to be a faithful adaption except for some scenes which were rewritten. As far as material the first ep covers, the anime is a bit slow paced, some scenes are drawn out longer like that scne where he ran far off to catch the thing. Also at the end its not sausuke who talks to the lord at the end, but some other famous tea-maker who criticezes the color of the ship And the scene where he kills the guy at the end, in the manga they show the head is cut off and some blood showers, but the violences seems toned down here. I'm probably going to read the manga and watch the eps for while together and drop the anime If its too slow or isnt well adapted, cuz the manga seems pretty cool at this point. |

| I guess I'll give this a fair shake if there's a sub, it doesn't seem to bad but honestly it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. The whole plot seems downright silly, and not really in a good way either. I'm not much for the quirky senine shows, favorite studio or no favorite studio. |

| This was very slow and very boring. Typical BeeTrain... how do they stay in business I have no idea. |
 |
| Bee Train. Destroying interesting manga since 1997. I'm not touching this with a 10-meter stick taped on another 10-meter stick. |
| Well, for one I dig the setting in general, but I find it especially interesting as I've been playing the hell out of Total War: Shogun 2 in recent weeks. I had low expectations. Very low expectations that were formed the minute I read "tea ceremony" in one preview. The direction, music, and setting were enough to keep me interested and exceed my meager expectations. That said, without subs I didn't find it quite interesting enough watch without interruption. Every several minutes I'd pause it and do something for a little bit then come back. Hopefully it gets subbed at some point. |
| didnt expect that... |
 |
| Christ, that was far better than I would have though Bee Train could ever hope to do. I think they handled it very well... It was intense and incredibly relaxing at the same time. I've been itching for a good historical anime for a while, and this shit is it. Here's hoping Huzzah doesn't drop it! |
| Your favorite anime is shit. |
| Surprised how many people have complained this is a slow paced show, and really with a plot like this centers on Furuta Sasuke, a vassal of the great warlord Oda Nobunaga and a man obsessed with tea ceremony and material desires in his pursuit of a fortuitous life were you really expecting an adrenalin pumping action show? |

| That was great! Honestly, wtf you talkin' bout, that was not too slow paced. This is like bee train in overdrive. I am glad they didn't ruin it. I love aesthetics, and I love tea, and I love history, and I love war, and I love their facial expressions. |
| Not in my watch list, but it is now. |
| . |
| Holy shit. This episode was so good that I didn't even know that Bee Train made it, and for Christ's sake, people, this isn't supposed to be some stupid moeshit series or an action series. If you haven't noticed yet, it's a comedy. I don't get how anyone could watch this and expect to see a bunch of fights in it. |
| Thank god this got subbed! It was a decent episode and they adapted it close to the (award winning) manga so far. Can't wait for the second episode. |
 |
| So boring I felt asleep. |

And honestly: If you are expecting fights in an anime about politics and tea, you are a goddamn moron. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Cleaned topic. All 'fansub' related posts removed. |
| Best show of the season. I didn't know what to think of this at first, but I love the era that it takes place in(Thanks to my love of the Samurai Warriors games). |

| Rewatched the whole thing without being sleepy, this time I really liked it, such a manly show, also it kinda turn me into an aesthete. |
| This anime has made my day. Sasuke Furuta is one of the most interesting lead character I have seen in a long time, there's a very strange charm to that man. I would hardly call this slow-paced, but whatever lol...maybe when compared to the manga or something? It felt like something new happening every minute. Bee Train anime should not be this good. |
 |
| Funny plot and nice art. I really loved Hyougemono's OSTs. |

 |
| The way this anime switches from borderline-bombastic to farcical at the drop of a hat (or a teakettle lid)... I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from this when I first saw the synopsis, but it wasn't this. I guess I thought that it would little more subdued and serious. Well, despite not being what I thought it would be, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I'm not typically a fan of anime comedy, I got a laugh out of this episode, and the relatively esoteric subject matter is a refreshing change of pace. |
| Once again, I'm grateful for not trusting the ratings. This was actually a very good watch. Never laughed but kept me with a big smile. Hyouge Mono is for ladies and gentlemen, indeed. *drinks tea* |

| Koichi Mashimo returns in what he does best, black, parodic, Taylor-like humour, with an almosy LOGHish episode (I mean, there's tea, politics and great generals, doesn't that feel like a Yang episode ?). It was badly executed though and I'm in no mood to watch it so I've dropped it for now. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| More entertaining than I thought it would be. Loved the OP and ED. Not sure if I'll last through 39 episodes though. |

DunkyHarwood said: I would hardly call this slow-paced, but whatever lol...maybe when compared to the manga or something? . cant say about the others, but when i said slow-paced, I meant compared to the manga, and that too only one or two scenes. In fact, I think its not the speed of the pace that bothers me, but the overall sloppy flow/execution (same complaint I had with Blade of the immortal, which was done by Bee train and the same director). |

| Oh shoot, Blade of the Immortal had the same director and was also produced by Bee Train? I was not aware of this, I'm not sure what to think of that because I truly loved a few of Koichi Mashimo's past works, but then again there were some others that I just outright hated. |

| yes, thats exactly why i was getting strong pre-rape feelings for the anime adaption. I just hope I'm wrong. |

| I enjoyed the first episode, a nice change from the typical fodder lately. It was a little slow, but kept me interested the entire time. Not sure if I'll be able to make it through 39 episodes, but I'll give it a try. Urahara Out!! |

Seoko said: Worst show ever "2011", its evident that even the subs don't come on time... for weeks.... despite this being a show released every week. Every week. ???? Since when does the abundance or lack of subs dictate whether or not a show is good??? There are plenty of shows that are fantastic and have issues getting subbed while there are many shows that are complete bullshit that have 4 diff sub groups covering it... |
|
| Popular = good. Yep, sure. |
|
| A decent first episode. I'm not a fan of comedies in general but the historical aspect was interesting and some scenes were amusing. I feel this is something to watch slowly to appreciate it. Nobunaga Oda looks vaguely like Sean Connery, props for that. I thought it worked surprisingly well, better than most series with masculine posing and comedy bits. |
| So, finally enough episodes have been subbed that I feel comfortable starting this. The first episode was pretty entertaining, though a bit more on the goofy side of humour than I expected. But it's the kind of over-the-top manliness comedy that reminds me a bit of the more recent Jojo TV Series, so definitely something I can enjoy. I have no idea where the plot will develop to though, so for now I'm just gonna see where this takes me. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Great first episode. Liked how the comedy is delivered through the original main character and his insights. I think it reflects well the mix of refinement and brutality that were common during this period, which adds value as a historical. Opening and ending themes were also very smooth and stylish. Overall a classy show. |
 |
| Glorious first episode, I didn't expect the great humour. The opening is incredible by the way! |
 |
| LOL had me in fits the entire episode, when the facial expressions come from a purely passionate heart as opposed to a reaction to an absurd situation. Love the quirky samurai version of a fabulous fashionista that judges his coworker's clothing! Is Sasuke by any chance an ancestor of "Seishuu Handa" from Barakamon. _____ This show really gets better with the rewatch, they really did do a good job in making an entire show that pivots around . Leave it to the aesthetes to entertwine their seemingly trivial hobbies into something grand. |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Reminds me in some way of JoJo's. Really odd in a funny way |
| I think I would appreciate this more if I knew the actual history of the Sengoku period, because it didn't waste much time in introducing the characters. Probably because everyone and their mother in Japan already knows about Oda Nobunaga. I'm also not sure what the overall tone of the show is supposed to be. The first half was mostly comedic and the second half had a mix of both comedy and some serious drama. Still, I definitely like what I've seen so far, especially the direction and cinematography. It doesn't have the usual frozen frames you see in adaptations of manga and instead gets creative with its shots. |
