Heh, it's pretty fun watching this after Gintama.
Some seriously good Ko Otani in this first episode. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us once there's more action later in the story. It'll be such a treat, especially seeing as though it's been a while since the last Ko Otani score. Also i'm finding it pretty impossible at the moment to pick my favorite male character.

Pick a favorite male character? Right now, I'll settle for being able to keep them all straight. For example, I'll need a least another watching to know which one of them was injured. After 2 viewings, I still can't put a face to his name.

I'm beginning to get them straight -- after watching the show three times: raw, Chinese sub, English sub. I'm enjoying Hijikata (duh) and Sannan (l-r):
Sannan is played by Tomita Nobuo, who was Lumiale in three different Angelique shows, and Sei in Uta~Kata, and has a career going back to 1981. I just love that voice. Hijikata is played by Miki Shinichirou:

As for the guy harem I get a Fushigi Yuugi vibe. At least there I knew that I should cheer for Tamahome (nyaaa)... Anyway I'm going to watch this show mostly because of the bishies...Anyway can you tell me if the anime is categorized as a shoujo? I think I read this somewhere...
It looks good though.

Speaking of Tobita Nobuo, for all this time, I was conviced that he was the one playing the main characters (well, most of them) in Aoi Bungaku when it was , in fact, a completely different actor (Sakai Masato). That was because the voice Sakai Masato used in No longer human sounded a lot like Tobita's "creepy" voice, that he's kind of using for Sannan in Hakuouki. I feel kinda dumb for noticing this months later...

I'm totally loving the OP song.
It probably won't be until episode 3 before I can remember all the Shinsengumi's names. All I remember now are Hijikata (of course!), Saito, and Okita...gee I wonder why those 3? Oh how I love series with hot bishies in a historical setting.

That first episode really whet my appetite for this series. And I, too, got that "Kenshin" vibe from Chizuru (which was the name of the original heroine from Watsuki-sensei's pilot version of Rurouni Kenshin if memory serves...coincidence on top of coincidence, heh.)
Definitely looking forward to more. I hope they keep up the suspense.

Chizuru is really strong...to still be able to think straight in the midst of all that testosterone. Hmm, I'm beginning to think this thread will be the sink for major fangirling outpour for me. Okay, so as not to make fangirling-only posts ( ), I'll add that I was rather surprised that they hinted at, what I think, a semi-spoiler in the OP.

Just watched the episode
On a short note, I appreciate how the guys are still suspicious of Chizuru and vice-versa. Not expecting great things form this series, but I am hoping for solid character development (and please no rushing of the romance part, if ever there will be one) at the very least. |
