The show's terrible. I'm amazed it has a fanbase.
The characters, style, and plot are all among the worst I've ever seen.
Kudos to you all for managing to watch up to 6 episodes.
...jesus wtf man this show is well its messed up, if you like this at all go ahead and watch to episode 6. i have not seen a beatdown like that in a long time....crist

Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

Well, it seem like you've watched 6 episodes and ignored everything. I can see why it isn't for everyone due to the gore and pacing, but I really don't understand why you call it terrible. Maybe you just aren't a fan of storytales based in ye' olde Edo?Originally Posted by Dark_Sage
Well, whatever, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Thats fine and I'm not going to change your mind. Just don't insult others for enjoying it.
This is one of the very few shows during the summer and fall season I've been watching. It's intense and has nice animation. How is the plot worse than other shows? It shows how the rivalry between these two was developed. It will be sweet when they fight.
This show is great, even with the slow pacing more than enough happens in the story to keep in interesting throughout. I suspect it will be a lot easier to understand once we can watch it all at once though, since there are so many skips. The sensei is quite an interesting puzzle, I can't figure out if he can still sense what's going on when he's in crazy mode or not, but I'm guessing he can since he never gets caught off guard.
Something I find very interesting is that I've come to see Irako as a huge dick but I can't really figure out why. Besides his lack of respect and (seemingly) honor to the dojo and the Sensei he's not really that bad of a guy. He wants to be the best and he'll do anything to get there which is understandable but yet he seems like an asshole doing it. On the other hand Fujiki demonstrates all the qualities of a tool, yet I really like his character. The sensei is pretty much insane but everyone, including Fujiki, follows his whims without hesitation, which would normally make me dislike them. I guess honor goes a long way in this type of show.
A lot of the bias probably comes from their character design. Irako just looks despicable, while Fujiki looks like the main character. Their actual qualities do not necessarily fit into those types though.
Peace.
Irako has done a lot more terrible things than Fujiki. He killed his mother, covetted his Sensei's mistress, and obviously power hungry. Its easy to picture him as the antagonist.
I really like how still sympathize Irako's situation. He was born as a peasant. Not just any low rung person, but considered the son of a demon. Being shunned like that, told you could never amount to anything must have been incredibly difficult. Its no wonder that he struggles for the top.
Does he really deserve such a cruel punishment? Blind and mutilated.
..... er um is this show over cause i still have it and was gonna burn and dump it if its not gonna continue ... um honestly it cant end like that right ?

I'm pretty sure it's over and there have been no announcements about a second season to my knowledge. If you want more of the story you're going to have to read the manga.
I happened to dig this out of my backlog and watched it this weekend (followed by reading from Chapter 32 to the final chapter 84). This shit was good.
I've read that the biggest complaint about the anime part is that the pacing was slow, but that's only as true as speaking slowly enough to make your point heard. It wasn't unnecessarily slow.
The manga's pretty much a must read if you liked the anime since the latter gives no closure whatsoever.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
