Wow. They knew exactly what they were doing when they casted Nakahara Mai as Nanami.
Which means to say, this is my favourite episode so far of the series, by far and away, as it serves as another example as to why I think Nakahara is the most skilled VA in the business. Screw not watching Shichika's fight... we get to see awesome brutality in the form of Nanami. Her otouto has NOTHING on her lol.
And I praise the authour. He really wanted to point out that Nanami is THE one to beat, and putting into the background the fight against who is supposed to be the strongest swordsman in all of Japan really drives the message home. Such a shame that animation for ep3 preview went to waste though lol.
