Sword of the month: Namakura, the Decapitator
This episode has Shichika and Togame journeying to reclaim the sword from Uneri Ginkaku. I’m starting to like Togame more and more throughout this episode.
Togame is actually really cute, even if she acts self-centered at times. She just tries too hard and ends up getting burned for it most of the time.
Actually, which of you IS older? Someone tell me…
DAWWWW… Shichika’s plan was pretty amusing. I love the chibi reenactment of what would’ve gone down according to his plan.
Shichika grows up a little and becomes a more interesting person. We can’t really blame him for his lack of personality from living on that deserted island with only his sister after his father died.
The banter between Shichika and Uneri was actually really awesome. It brought out Uneri’s honorable qualities, differentiating him from the annoying babble of the Maniwani traveling circus.
HAHA! I didn’t see this coming at all! Shichika is a genius.
As much as I appreciate the artwork in this series, I’m disappointed with the fight scenes so far. I hope the rest of the sword fights don’t just involve eye-defying skills that we can’t see. I’m sure Shichika will have to fight a final battle with a swordsman head-to-head eventually. My bets are on Hakukei, with the badass catch phrase.
Oossu! Welcome to my anime blog! The post by ExecutiveOtaku over at THAT has inspired me to finally start a blog to put down my thoughts as I feed my insatiable anime addiction. So without further ado, Katanagatari episode 1…
Just seeing the opening, I’m already loving the art style. The opening song is pretty catchy too, but not too memorable.
I like how Nanami is the only one who senses Komori’s projectile shuriken barf. I hope we see more of her later in the series, but I don’t know the hell she’s going to get off that deserted island…
This show has a lot of potential and there actually is a good amount of interesting character development and background in this first episode if you can handle watching it a second time.
The directives that Kogame gave Shichika at the end were touching. Maybe Kogame’s looking for a hubby to boss around when she becomes the Shogun. I mean, she WAS checking out Shichika’s hot bod earlier.
I’m pretty sure Kogame is making up her plan as she goes along planning her revenge. That useless rambling throughout the episode was actually her stalling while she thought of something intelligent to say. Right, Miss Strategian?
Looks like she’s going to be our comic relief this series. Gyafun!
This series is going to be pretty epic! I’m looking forward to writing about the next episode.
