Finally had a chance to watch episode 1. I really, really, really don't like the old guy, Serizawa. But I assume I'm not supposed to like him, so I guess he did job well.
I'm disappointed that CR isn't offering a 1080 stream. The lovely eye candy deserves the best resolution possible as far as I'm concerned.

So episode 2 covered the rest of chapter 1 from the VN that wasn't in episode 1.
Saitou joining the Roshigumi was good news for them. Saito vs Okita with Saito winning, although it was enjoyable I'm waiting to see their first match. Saito mysterious about what made him quit going to Shiekan. They still don't have any sponsors and are a nobodies, the people out there don't trust them either. Serizawa, since he comes from a wealthy samurai family and has connections, managed to get a meeting where... Yukimura Koudou appears and shows ochimizu! Niimi (who IRL was a commander like Serizawa and Kondou but got demoted for bad behavior) seems to have plans regarding ochimizu... Ryunosuke mad because he looked like useless Chizuru... Spoiler for details not in the anime about this episode:
Liked the ending, your typical Hakuouki ending with mao song and beautiful visuals. Comparison of game CG and anime in this episode: The comparison game-anime for episode 1:

Saito makes an appearance.
Seeing Hijikata smile sure was a rare treat ^-^ Everyone else was pretty excited too. Well, it was nice seeing them all together. Ryunosuke seems to be attracting trouble wherever he goes. His main problem also seems to be the lack of fighting skills. Can't figure out if he's just scared to fight or has been previously traumatized by something. All in all, since he's trouble prone, his problem keeps repeating. Guess we'll finally get to see how the whose rasetsu thing got started.

I was waiting for this episode just to see Kosuzu Her voice sounds less annoying than in the game (the same seiyuu) and she is as cute as ever.
Aren't Kosuzu and Ryu made for each other? With that attitude of not being afraid of saying what they think, their hate for samurai and they're both cute. I could get a glimpse of Sasaki between the Roshigumi members Poor Shinpachi, Serizawa treats him the nicest but he has to go to his parties in Shimabara They're accepted by Aizu clan but they still have ways to go. Hijikata made the famous Code not only for the new members, it was a way to limit Serizawa's behavior although he doesn't seem concerned by it. Okita seems jealous of Saito because he has killed people. He behaved like a little kid during his argument with Hijikata. With this and last week's release of Toki no Kizuna with Chizuru's hot ancestor and a heroine who fights during the battle of Sekigahara I'm pleased

Well it's not like she's in an upstanding role in society. In fact, she's in a bad spot. (Not wanting to get into the geisha vs "other female profession that they are compared to" arguement. ) To him, she's prob in a very low class and no right to disagree with him so that's why she got what she did.

This is visually such a beautiful anime.
There is no way that any girl wouldn't enjoy this ^^ Kondou - Okita relationship history was interesting. The flashbacks to his childhood and past were kinda sad. It felt good watching his be stronger than himself to overcome his situation. Looks like Serizawa is using Okita for his own little plans. Not good. This episode was all about Okita Souji.

In real life, Tonouchi had many followers so he was a potential threat to the Roshigumi which was just recently established. These followers ran away after his assassination (like the episode showed, he was assassinated in a bridge) or were wiped out by Serizawa faction.
Next week we won't have an episode. At least the wait is going to be worth it since the preview mentioned the duels for Aizu and showed Kosuzu x Ryu scene.
