THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Awww I thought Sasuke (from Naruto)...I mean Saizou looked much better when he was younger ;).

So apparently Rokurou's eye power can also read memories. I'm getting suspicious of Ana though. She seemed a bit too interested in Rokurou's eye. I wonder if she's a double agent...

hahaha yeah high five!!

But well I think the episode was okay... and Isanami is seriously getting on my nerves... I bet she'll get kidnap next week or maybe she'll cry and call saizou for whatever reason...
Oh well I'm still watching this cause I want to know what will happen next but if Isanami continue to be that annoying, I think I'll drop it

exactly my thoughts ♥

looking forward to more Yuri-being-jealous as it was in the manga *u*
and more subtle RokuroXSaizou fanservice xD It must happen! *fujoshi grin*

So Sasuke not only goes to save Isanami but also beats up Saizou for no good reason, I hate him even more now.
The guy who looks like a chick is still doing a rather poor job at hiding the fact that he's got a total crush on Saizou and just wants to get him nekkid.
Ana is, well I only would've cared about her if she had let those guys have sex with her, that would've made this episode a little less unbearable.
The other guy who looks like a fag is a very boring antagonist.
Isanami is as annoying as always, I just wish she'd get killed already or just never make any more appearances, but that won't happen because she matters to the story, which I by the way don't really care about so far.
Next episode they'll fight a guy with a stick, so yeah.

I felt the need to check the forum first and see if she got abducted again, I was greatful that she hadn't!
Though, she did spend a great proportion of the ep' helpless in captive, still, I better give her the beneifit of the doubt.
So Hi 5. ;)

If Isanami gets abducted again; she's going on my character disslike list :P

maybe its not enough motivation. especially if your saizou and your treated like
trash because you have no "master". how much selfworth would Saizou have?

Not much im guessing, but if he believes in someone or something,he'll move
heaven and earth to get it done.

The fact that Isanami was rescued before the first half of the episode was over made me think she was going to get kidnapped again before the end.

The second half made this probably the best episode yet.

I was expecting Saizou and his group to go save Isanami but Ana and Sasuke were a good team too.
Don't like that Date Masamune >:( He's way too hungry for power and destruction. I sure wanted Saizou to cross swords with him.

Quit interesting episode, Rokuro's eyes can take the the letters of someone's memory and Ana is a bit suspicious about that!!!

Yes, I know they were really close and then Yuri start asking Saizou about that *u*(jealous Yuri-I want more of this)

Also, I like the part where Ana was talking to Isanami:

XD Excellent quote!

Agree with this...very good scene, and finally we saw Ana taking some action and give coinfidence to Isanami, who was crying all the time adn didn't believe in herself!!!

Rokurou and Saizou moment was drool worthy *_* Whoa, intense.

I still don't get why people are hating on Isanami, I like her better than most female leads I've seen before. I hope she does become stronger though. And thumbs up for Sasuke beating some sense into Saizou! He was starting to get on my nerves with all his angsting UGH.

Lol, the conversation between Kamanosuke and Yukimura. Sasuke is cute. xD Rokurou getting in Saizou's face was too funny! But isn't what he did kind of a forced mindmeld? x_x There was some nice fanservice this episode. Can't wait to see Masamune and Yukimura interaction.

Not that I ever really disliked her, but I think I like Isanami more as a character now. It kind of reminds me of Luke from Tales of the Abyss. He was one way for a while (mostly due to his upbringing) but some things happened to open his eyes and bring out his potential. Maybe Isanami will grow too.

Koyasu-san's voice is to die for. Not sure about the character yet, never really was attracted to villains with God syndrome. But that voice! >.< I'm curious about his relationship with what looked to be his retainer at first. I mean, he can stop Date from leaving the house just like that? Either he is really strong, or Date actually has that level of respect for him. The whole "four kushi-mitamas" idea is kinda... well, old. But it depends on where they take it from here.

Kinda pissed at how easily Isanami was rescued (I liked that little scene where Date turned her to face him, then gave her that bunny doll thing. Was hoping he'd get to tease her some more >.>), but given the awful pace of this story, it isn't surprising. Ana was epic in being the first one to finally tell Isanami to stop playing damsel in distress and start acting like a hero that Yukimura-san chose her to be.

This show is definitely trying to bait yaoi fangirls and that's kinda ticking me off. (No, I'm not a yaoi hater. I guess I just want some goddamn serious SEINEN already, and this is looking more like a shoujo harem with historical setting lol)

Don't tell me Saizou and Sasuke are planning to fight again next episode... can we please focus on the story already? I am not a fan of these two and their quarrels, it's getting old. Well, it isn't the only thing in this anime that's already getting old despite it being only five episodes in... u.u

Characters are still under-developed, pacing is still bad... Fights are still awesome though, and so is the voice acting, so I can't say I'm not greatly enjoying it. I just can't see it being a 10/10 show on my list. My expectations were much higher, but of course I didn't think it'd be only twelve episodes. Sigh.

P.S. Yukimura-san is my favorite. Or rather, he is one of the very few characters that I don't want to smack for one reason or the other.

For an episode lacking much action, I think this is possibly the second best episode. I enjoyed their interaction and development with each other and themselves.

Finally someone snapped Isanami out of that helpless mode!!! You have my gratitude Ana! But I wonder if Ana is a double agent.. She said something about betrayal and also she seemed suspicious when she looked at Rokurou's eye.

I wonder what's the big secret Rokurou and Yukimura are keeping. Looks like only time will tell..

I love the fight between Sasuke and Saizou!

Not a bad episode. But not really that good either.
The fight between Sasuke and Saizo was kinda entertaining.

It's nothing strange dude. Most people feel more motivated when it is about helping someone they have feelings for than themselves. Is common human psychology. We can easily neglect our self but not the ones we love.

Great episode but I was hopeing for more on Siezo(sp?) I'm preety sure that his past isnt mutioned much and when he had the flash back clip in the beginning I was hopeing for that only to be disappionted... hopefully the next episode will be better in my eyes.

Sasuke, Ana and Isanami got back before Sai-chan and the other 2? How is that even possible?

So the writing on the wall clearly said something important, but Yukimura(sp?) lied about it to the group. Also, why is he siding with Saizo? In what? For what? Hmm

Still enjoying this show. Don't understand how it's not rated higher
