Ao no Miburo - update
The show cant decide where to place itself on the scale of historical accuracy. why play it fairly normal in the first part of the story just to kick into crazy later? and why call attention to the mismatch by also moving to a much more "out there" intro song? I prefer the show after the change, but it doesn't have the visuals or artistic direction to make it work.
show has a problem with time transistions.
the blacksmith girl is a good plot - done before, but it doesn't matter since it works.
it's hard to make one fight hype up two characters, the show already has too many characters to introduce a cabal of evil warriors (is it a single digits cabal or is it an ideological faction?). if someone sent you a letter of challenge, there's no reason to try and hide that you're coming.
episode 18 - black text on dark background? fuck whoever did the subs. more Iai bulshit, people using one handed swords being surprised they can't overpower a two-handed blade.
