This one is a funny and interesting one. Lots of funny moments and I love how they've mocked the detective movies.

LOL Hilarious. Humor was tied in extremely well. I liked it when the artist tried to be all dramatic and made an echo when he was saying his farewells.

Epic episode of lulz.

Well not completely, but it was definitely funny at some parts. :) Fuu's a bit naive, no? Anyway, Mugen continues to amuse me, and Jin's silent intelligence is pretty intriguing... and terrifying? Haha. He seemed like he was just chilling and playing around but he earned the most money. :D Awesome.

I also found the Van Gogh thing pretty funny. XD Suuure, just another "untold tale" in history...

Not my favourite episode. I liked jin in this one though, and the comedy was top.

Fine episode - nicely connected with van Gogh... Showed us that sometimes mere sitting and thinking brings the most profit. And... Holy cow, Fuu's so damn beatiful o_O

Superb episode! I love how each episode seems to start off with them just needing enough money just to get by, or on with the next leg of the journey!

Mugen just mugging yakuza was hilarious, and Fuu was too cute!

Nice!

So many hilarious scenes in just one episode :D Not only that, but all of them were well thought of and smart XD

The offerings (ah, Mugen, you bastard) and the grandpa's reaction, the innnuendo scene where the detective works out with Jitte (made me laugh so hard), Mugen's encounters with yakuza, artist's echo when saying farewell (that one is the best imo XD)
Another brilliant episode.

Loved this one ^^

- Mugen robbing the goons
- Jin being awesome and making the most money, as expected. (I wonder if he ever defeated his master in swordplay)
- Fuu getting "painted" and abducted by Roy Mustang/Urahara's Seiyuu... LoL. ("You're my number one fan!")
- OH YEAH! That detective was just win. ^^

They talked about Van Gogh. And about going to Holland. This anime was waiting to be seen for me. YESSS!

I didn't expect this anime to be this good.

Omg!!!! Soo much to say!!!

I love the how Mugen mugged the muggers!!! Was absolutely hilarious esp. the mugger with the cross skulls, he got the *&^% kicked out of him.

Not to mention Jin's stoically astute mind beating the old timer at that game of shogi, truely intriguing nonetheless to show off his high skill of intellect

Lastly, Fuu!! she is soo totally kawiiiiii omg omg, the end was hilarious when she lashes out at Mugen with the porno hahahha

Oh and not to mention me..being a hirstory buff loved the way art history of ukiyo-e paintings were tied into a factor that influenced van gogh.

when the back story started, i was like "Oh my god! Art class at uni!" our art history teacher taught us about that event. happy to know i remember it. Or am i mixing it up?

And no need to worry about the adolescent girls already kidnapped and sold to the european flesh trade. Many decades after their minds and bodies are shattered by unimaginable abuse and horrors, the sweet embrace of death will be granted to them as their very souls dissipate into the very void of nothingness

Nice alliteration you got there.

Seeing this forum makes me want to rewatch the entire series over again. Even the "filler" episodes were hella good.

Well that detective/sheriff/chief/policeman - whatever is most certainly the one holding the most entertaining value this time. His entrances where always so fucked up - got me laughing.

See action slow down a little. What I enjoyed here, it's showing a history and culture of Japan 'Shogi, I hope it will be more elements like that. In this series i don't like one thing, yakuza guys, they are always shown as stupid punks :/

My favorite part about this episode had to be the interactions between Jin and the Old Man, I just found them so good!

Funniest episode about human trafficking I've seen in a long time. Very fast paced episode, but that works well when it's going for a lighter tone.

It's 19th century, OF COURSE they had books o_O, printing in Japan started in the 8th century (earlier than Europe), and it's not even the beginning of bookmaking there...
