Episode 2 - HS




- - - - -



A jolly episode. This seems like a fine show so far. It does wonders to this otherwise unremarkable looking season to have a title you can really look forward to.

I am, however, slightly worried about the power levels. The swordsman seemed too strong. In the first place if he can cut rock with his swings, why can't he cut the insect itself? Maybe I should rewatch the first season because I don't remember stuff like that from it. But maybe it was there. Another strange thing was how Kuon fetched the curse monster so fast. Didn't it take Kuon and Haku a couple of days to get to the village, yet she now first climbed up the mountain, and then got back in very little time. But perhaps Haku's terrible stamina is enough to explain it.

Haku must be an engineer. A lucky bastard in any case to have Kuon as the first person he met. She's perfect for him.

Edit: I can't be the only person who immediately thought about professional football (soccer) players when the wounded dudes in the beginning where shown. They had a few scratches that weren't really even bleeding, yet they were lamenting as if they had multiple broken bones and ruptured internal organs.
