damn you Emonzaemon

[shichi-chan]

Rinnes laugh is sexy. Ukekekekekekekeke. EPISODE 11 PREVIEW? I HAVE TO WATCH THAT LIKE NAO OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMGOMMMMMM

*impales medigo* Don't say bad things of Emonzaemon-sama. >

On yeah, I would refrain from watching that preview, it contains massive spoilers!
Good god, that was fucking amazing. I am going to resort to tying myself down to a chain in a basement, from going crazy over this episode. Slaving over Houou-sama has proven to be healthy to me. But I am angry at him for doing such a thing to Pengin (not trying to imply anything, only if you seen the preview then you know what I am talking about )

[karinvampire]

Has anyone listen to the soundtrack by Taku Iwasaki?

The theme song for Togame is beautiful omg if it gets played during that upcoming "scene" I'll cry lmao.

[Kakkou]

Spoiler for ep10 trailer:

To draw your guns at Pengin, Emonzaemon you demon >=[. Oh shi- the last scene, the last scene is D=.

[shichi-chan]

I've heard the entire sounds track, and have it all, yes alot of the songs or tracks are beautiful and awesome.

It's highly probable that her theme will get played when it happens. Regardless of the music used, get ready for the waterworks.

Man, I'm already crying my eyes out just watching the last couple of seconds of the preview!!

[Kotohono]

Wow episode 10 was different, yet very interesting, I really enjoyed this episode the sword itself was interesting and logic behind it and Rinne Higaki was quite an amusing character, Togame's father must have been an interesting person. I was thought Shichika could be one of the blades, but I didn't think it would really be true and that their line is the "final" blade is surprising, I wonder Hitei is aware of his style being considered the final blade though?

Also I think I forgot to read/post in here for episode 9, which I had mostly enjoyed thanks to Shizuka roll as Zanki Kiguchi, well that and Togame's delusions .

Though I am eagerly waiting episodes 11 and 12 since things are set-up to do be pretty interesting, I have honestly no idea how this will turn out exactly for the end .

....DAMN YOU TRAILERS!!!!!!! *SHAKES FIST*

*retains composure*

Spoiler for Goes behind the spoilers screen:

DAMN YOU EMONZAEMON!!!!!!!*DOUBLE FIST SHAKE+TABLE FLIP* FOR BOTH PENGUIN AND THAT LAST SCENE!!!!

Just a thought, did they considered not hiding any plot point anymore because they've showed the last two episodes already at the special event?

Oh, and has anyone noticed that they are starting to sale MANJUS themed around the twelve swords?
Let me repeat that...
THEY ARE SELLING FOOD THAT'S THEMED ON THE EPISODES AND THEIR LOCATION.

...All we need now is some cosplayer cosplaying this series while eating these, and I'm satisfied...XD

Now regarding episode 10...
If Rinne is a composition of Shichika and Togame's memories...
Personality --> Takahito Hida
Appearance --> Konayuki+Nanami
Posture (sometimes) --> Zanki
Drinking habits (sometimes) --> Meisai
Laugh --> somehow I reach the natural conclusion of....Koumori?!?!
Wait...what?

Spoiler for 1:

Look at it this way, if you didn't know what happens, that preview would be intriguing, not spoilering, because unless you know what happens for sure, it really doesn't set anything in stone. I guess the cour trailer gives it away and if combined with this, even more, but this regular "next episode" by itself - doesn't.

Regardless of the music used, get ready for the waterworks.

I cried over the written version. Take it as you want.



Still no info about Soundtrack #2. I wonder, will there be #3? Will #2 be 2CD? They certainly won't fit the remaining music on a single 80min-CD.

[Maniwa Akagin]

Okay, finished watching episode ten earlier today. A great episode, I honestly think Rinne was funny as heck, in the way that any 'wise old hermit' can be. Including the laugh! Seitou Hakari's design was pretty snazzy, but I don't think I quite 'got' how it's focus worked. In the end, I think that's alright, however, as it seemed to be more about the characters than the sword. Yes, that's usually the case, but I'd say a little more this time around.

As for Kyotouryuu being the last sword, I honestly had about half an inkling it might be. Though I wonder if it was always Completed, or if it required the successive generations, along with the continually killing of their own family members, to really perfect it? Maybe that was also a reason why the sixth didn't want to teach Nanami, sot hat she wouldn't have to get killed? Or even add a Highlander flavor, int hat the true 'Perfected' status is only available to one practitioner at a time, so the killings would be required to reach 'perfected' status?

I personally liked the ending, a bit different, but ultimately nice. Though for some reason, it made me almost remember another song, and I can't quite place what it was. Going to drive me crazy!

At this rate i can't see two soundtracks being sold, unless we see one released with a DVD/Blu-ray, so yeah i'm gonna go with the release being two discs. Has to happen soon though, because i want these new pieces.

I'm really happy I'm not the only who feels this way. Even if there was absolute SILENCE during that part, I would still cry. In fact, for me personally, silence would probably make it even sadder... >_<

I think Seitou Hakari's focus was about how they mention its not meant to cut anyone, but the owner, and trying to like say that, you must be truthful as a person, and as the sword is truthful to you, kinda like opening up the darkness in your heart to come out. Well, that's how I made it out to be. That or I am confusing it with Rinne's general purpose.

As for each new head of the school, I think Mutsue didn't want to teach Nanami be cause of her Hidden Technique, or she would become OP. Hahaha. He wanted to contain it. Plus on the killings I think it is because There can only be like one sword at a time.

[Haak]

Dear God, this anime is simply brilliant. Everything about it is just awesome.

[Master Chibi]

Good shit being fucking subtle guys, seriously.

The version I downloaded didn't have a preview, all the better I suppose.

Amazing episode.

[tsunade666]

at episode 11 preview. I didn't notice much on what people was angry about because I was preoccupied

Spoiler:

[Daniel Lind]

Good 'ol Pixiv works fast enough.
A certain artist who did a lot of Katanagatari fanart made this amazing piece featuring shogunate warriors from the ultimate episode.

Spoiler for Episode 12 (Only what was shown in the cour trailer):
