Who wants to see fighting when you can not? Impressions: Atrocious end made worse by fabricating a new character out of thin air for Kenshin to fight. Because Kenshin has been a central part of this show so much that he deserves to have the spotlight. Mouri hit Yukimura once, then Yukimura’s fighting spirit [...]

  Great bloody work, Hisahide. <Aroduc> Last episode had antagonist randomly toss protagonists off a cliff <Aroduc> This episode, they’re just back <Aroduc> It just basically reset <Aroduc> To before they were thrown off a cliff <Aroduc> And the antagonist runs away <Aroduc> God <Aroduc> This season is going to give me an aneurysm <Guncannon> [...]

  Tactical geniuses. Impressions: The first half of this episode could have been cool if there were actually any antagonists involved. Or if they had spent more time animating the fighting instead of animating pirate/Masamune grunts running over landmines. Or if it wasn’t so painfully stupid. Or if it meant anything. Okay, so we’re not [...]

  Because when I think "fight scene" I think "morons doing sports cheers." Impressions: I guess this was better than a lot of episodes this season, but it was still pretty stupid. They spent more time focusing on how Motochika and Masamune’s lackeys cheered than they did on the actual fight, which apart from being [...]

  Okay, Basara, this is past the line. Impressions: Well, this was miserable. Most of it was Keiji bumming around whining about how Hideyoshi has gone evil. Then some more of Yukimura in way beyond his 2nd grade reading level before Keiji’s monkey gets sick which leads into a whiny flashback showing how evil Hideyoshi [...]

  So much for last week’s inertia. Impressions: Normally if you play a drinking game like "Drink every time that you can see a character speak," even the hardiest of men will be toasted by the end of a twenty minute episode. For this one though, I’m not sure that you’d finish a single beer. This episode was [...]

  I’m oh so glad I took that nap earlier and was awake for this. Impressions: Holy crap. This episode may have pissed me off more than the recap episode of Zombie Boobs. This embodies every single thing that this season is doing completely wrong. Gone is the fun. Gone is the over-the-top craziness. Gone is the [...]

  Are you ready for some talking!? Impressions: An extremely boring episode that consisted of about 97% talking heads. Hisahide alone just kept going on and on for nearly ten straight minutes about Nobunaga and Oichi et al for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Then they went the most abysmal of all routes with the Hideyoshi/Masamune fight [...]

  Damn, Keiji. Take better care of your equipment. Impressions: Well, this was different. Since it took a trip for the inane, even for this show, I’m going to call that a bad thing. The first half was the usual drivel. War is evil. No more killing. I like steak. They may or may not have actually said [...]

We’re back for another season of MANLINESS, BADASSERY, and GAR. I already did the recap of Season one, so let’s not waste time in covering Season 2. By the way, the OP is by T.M. Revolution, the guys...
