She is way beautiful in that pic, isn't she? I also love her in her Shinsengumi outfit as well. I'm hoping we'll get to see Chizu wield that short blade of hers - her attack at Saito wasn't bad.

Everytime i see Hijikata eat i keep waiting for him to take out the Mayo

OMG! Now I'm going to have that image stuck in my head - and I haven't watched Gintama.

This series' Hijitaka's stoic personality plus the mayo...so made of win.

When I think about it, part of the reason I enjoy this anime so much is because it reminds me of Gintama. It's biased my view of the Shinsengumi forever, and it looks like I'm not the only one in this case

I was also expecting Yamazaki to pull out a tennis racket at some point. And I'm still waiting for someone to call Kondou-san "Gorilla", he seems like the character closest to his Gintama counterpart so far

I wonder if this has anything to do with this medicine stuff they're talking about? Though they call it "medicine", they sure aren't referring to it as very friendly stuff - seems like something they'd take as a last resort.

If you look carefully at the scene when Chizuru brings the food. Sannan is facing a desk or something that has test tubes and some sort of piping, I think. It looks like the sort of setup you would use to extract something. That made me wonder if he wasn't already contemplating (or outright taking) it.

Because its cool. This is like asking: "why aren't any ninjas with braces" or "why aren't any samurai in wheelchairs".

Because long hair on guys is hawt. Not only in anime of course, in rl too.

Lets just say I am biased when it comes to Gintama . So Shinsengumi from Gintama is still cooler . Most girls okay let make that all girls will disagree with me . But just used Kondo's stalking Hijikata's Mayora and Okita's Sadism or worse Yamazaki Badminton tenacity . One thing very similar, though Kondo is head of Shinsengumi and his valor is celebrated in history . In both this animes I have never seen/come across his poweress in actual combat . Regarding Sannan I have to agree with the injury maybe foreshadowing to him turning on Shinsengumi . And Sannan seems way smarter than Kondo also comes off as a better leader . I am not questioning his alliance/obedience just that the injury may turn him into a Oni/Zombie <SPECULATION> .

Also I have to get used to identifying faces with names . As every-time I read this thread I have to google up . Also yeah work on Gintama Dissociation with faces/names

Awesome images as always loved these three in perticular . Strangely remind of a young Byakuya . Like young Byakuya's face on a grown up man . Also many fanarts depict cherry blossom around him .

Are there no Hiji x Chizu pics? Pretty please.

Are you sure that's Chizu in that pic? The obi is tied in the wrong direction. Chizu's should be tied in the back IIRC. I thought that a front tied obi was the sign of a prostitute.

Im with Zu, Im biased to Gintama as well though I watched RuroKen long before Gintama but your take on the Shinsengumi after Gintama stays with you

It is fun to see them in a more historical based setting but still those little Gintama idiosyncrasies stay in your head XD Espc with Shinpachi being in the Shingengumi that really throws me XD

Try this site, which is also in my sig.

Episode three finished broadcast about an hour ago, but it always takes a while for it to show up.

Ya it is cool but you think it would just get in the way when your fighting. Well samurai arent in wheelchair is easy that because they get killed in the a fight

no no it isnt and long hair is just so itchy

kitten320 · 2010-04-17, 21:30

I'm also not big fond of long haired guys... of course there are exceptions...

I prefer it short and so it sticks in all possible directions

Or really short, almost like bald... like the feeling when it is like headgehok

Epi 3 - It appears that the colour palette got brighter ? more saturated ? post-Ikedaya showdown. I hope this does not stick for the rest of the series (although the preview seemed to look like it) *rubs eyes*

MikaMiaka · 2010-04-18, 00:33

Yes! And the blood gushes! Muahaha! Slow action sequences (wish it was more fluid), but at least there's plenty of blood and more adorableness from Chizuru. Loved this 3rd epi, couldn't stop smiling throughout.

Spoiler for Ep 3:

andromeda0201 · 2010-04-18, 09:23

Ep 3 was excellent

Yeah, I noticed that too. They got yellow-er?

Spoiler for save space:

Could it be just the raw rip? IDK. Not a big deal though, esp. since the definition is rendered higher now.

It's really hard to find good Hiji and Chizu pics. Hell, it's hard to just find Hiji pics.

Most of them are Saito's...

Anyway, here are three I have of them together.

MikaMiaka I like guavas. Join Date: May 2009	Yes! And the blood gushes! Muahaha! Slow action sequences (wish it was more fluid), but at least there's plenty of blood and more adorableness from Chizuru. Loved this 3rd epi, couldn't stop smiling throughout. Spoiler for Ep 3: Angry Haji is angry . . . but cute! Love his flamed fist in the light hearted moment (they heal really fast though haha). We also get a cute scene with two of them grabbing her hand, so cheesy but my joy for the scene was not diminished. ^__^. It's raw, and I don't understand much, but it seems like she's joined their ranks. I don't know why she runs around like she can do stuff when they always have to run to come to her rescue. sigh The bad guy made an appearance and he is crazy sexy lol.

andromeda0201 Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006	Ep 3 was excellent Spoiler: I was extremely pleased with them making the fight scenes bloody enough and the whole Ikedaya part was actually done really well. I was also surprised how much they followed history too in the sense of who got hurt and sigh Okita.... though in a different way. Looks like DEEN splurged a bit more on this compared to their other works this season. I look forward to any future big battles if this one is a good indication. Chizuru is starting to bug me a bit though, shes cute but I wish she could be more useful during their battles or at least learn how to defend herself And Sannan definitely doesn't look too pleased with his current situation.

Irisiel Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008	Spoiler for Episode 3: Um, I thought "unclouded" sword style meant that Chizu-chan had the ability to draw her sword and protect her friends, even if she wouldn't win. Not that she runs into enemy territory, keeps her sword sheathed and then gets saved again. She better get her act together real soon, or she drops below Akane (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de) in usefulness, considering that at least Akane randomly called down divine intervention when things got tough. Anyway, new status quo: The Shinsengumi seems to trust Chizuru now, at least enough to play around with her outside. Oh, and Souji doesn't feel so good. Damn, I had hoped that of all historical facts to get changed, that one would have been. Especially as we seem to be going the Toshi route, which means that maybe Souji wont be cured (if he was in his own route, but maybe he just lived his last years in peace with Chizuru or something). Anyway, I hope the zombierais show up again soon, so that we can get back to the main plot (I also want [bee-spoiler-censor-eep] to show up soon). Hey, maybe this Souji doesn't have TB, but instead something related to the zombierais and therefore can be cured by Chizuru or her father! Hopes 'cause I always like Okita the best in Shinsengumi adaptations, and he ALWAYS dies, except for in Gintama.
