PMK

[Vagabond]

Yeah but they still haven't explained the relationship between that one guys with the gun (can't remember his name) and tetsu father.

Oh and i think something is gonna happen to Okita cause in like the first epsiode you hear tetsu shouting his name.

[itachi_]

Did you know that The real Okita died of tuberculosis in 1864,,, you've already seen that he's coughing blood, he'll die soon, because it's already 1864... and it's reasonable that they will follow the history..

[Vagabond]

wow you know your shinsengumi history.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

[itachi_]

I guess I've read too many books about them, watched too many documentarys and films, I've been researching alot lately, I know my thing,,

[Vagabond]

I found a cool site with some discriptions of the squad leaders.
here
Also on the homepage there is a discription of the guy kenshin was modeled after.

Edit: Oh yeah, they also talk about the Ryoma guy in PMK

Edit again: Kinda off topic but I recently read that genki made a shinsengumi game for ps2. I think its out in japan right now.

[Xollence]

Interesting site, never knew the characters in the anime were real people.

[itachi_]

Duh? A few people in Kenshin was based on real living persons also, Saitou, Okita etc.

[Vagabond]

Whoa 22 was fucking awesome. Can't wait to see tetsu fight.

[itachi_]

Agreed...but...

Tetsu is a pussy he don't deserve to be in PMK, let's watch more of Okita, Sanosuke, Kondo, Saitou, Hijikata, it's those who bring the life out of PMK... tetsu ruin everything acting like a freaking queer.

[PSJ]

tetsu isnt that bad, he was cool in ep 22 when he stopped yoshida's attack and everyone was like wtf? this show is quite cool, but it cant end after 24 eps can it? when does the raw of this show releases?

[itachi_]

It sure can, in episode 01 there is a flashback of episode 22 which means that it's about to end there, it will end in episode 24 no doubt, when Tetsu get that girl, saya? and have finally become a member of the shinsengumi, but we haven't really got an answer to that guy said something about "peacemaker".

[Egan1]

If it's going to end within two episodes then there's either going to have to be a huge amount of info crammed in a very short space, or lots of questions will be left unanswered.

[Lz]

does anyone know which fansub is releasing episode 22 and where i can find it?

[itachi_]

PMK 22 has been released by Lunaranime, prolly AonE soon, it was in QCv3 2 days ago, anyway you can find lunar's at #lunaranime @ rizon, there are plenty of bots there.

itachi_, check your facts, Okita died in 1868 not right after the Ikedaya affair.

[itachi_]

Sorry, you're right, I meant 1868, I've got a documentary 180 minutes long just about shinsengumi, he died in 1868.

[Hakeem_21]

Cool that mean Okita-san wont die now atleast yeah[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Itachi: Where did you get the documentary om Shinsengumi?

In history we are gonna start reading about Japans history,im gonna try to put in something Shinsengumi in cause the teacher said we can choose what period to read.


Itachi you are pretty good with japanese history it seems. When did the revolution begin and end. The name of the emporer then?

[itachi_]

Er?? what revolution?

The tokugawa family became shoguns in 1604, four years after the battle of Seikigahara, and they ruled until 1868, when a young man called Meiji was choosen to become Japan's new emperor..

And between 1864 and 1868 there was a some wars, one of them called the boshin wars etc, Shinsengumi was choosed to protect the shogun in Kyoto, that was their purpose, but shinsengumi was founded in 1863, and ended in 1868. Right after the battle at Ikedaya all went down for shinsengumi, with the politics etc, the chooshu had began moving and in that time, the last days(more like years) of the edo-era (1604-1868) was called bakumatsu.

well buy/download a movie called "When the last sword is drawn" (don't know the japanese title) then you'll get alot of facts, and it's a great movie also.
