I agree. It would've been at least an above average show it were a 12-14 episoder. Too much filler kind of dragged it down. I stilled enjoyed it nonetheless it wasn't that bad really but it could have been a better show I think if it wasn't 26 episodes long.

i disagree. the kind of excitement and hot blood with when

Spoiler:

just wouldn't have been as awesome, had it been 13 episodes

Haha. I'm the first poster in this thread in... a year and a half. Had watched a few episodes of Peace Maker when it was first coming out, but lost interest by episode 10. Same thing with the manga, read up to a point, thought it was nice, then stopped, as it wasn't terribly outstanding.

Nearly 2 years later a random comment on the suspicious nature of the Sibling relationship (Susumu and Ayumu) in the show compelled me to go back to this series and examine it for myself, starting from the manga, and whoah damn:

Spoiler for Thoughts and comments:

I'm not going to get over Ayumu's death for a while. Sacrificing her body and life, enduring it all, not even taking her own life, and dying in the most terrible way in her brother's stead... God, its enough to make one vote in favor of keeping the death penalty around (in contrast to Peace Maker's message, but still).

In my mind, the tragedy of this death surpasses even Maes Hughes (he went down fighting, so there was less sense of helplessness and hopelessness, plus his memory lives on, continually reminded of in the story) from FMA... and that's saying alot.

Daaaaaaang what an angsty story (that is, in latter manga), reminding me that in stories, the most effective way to create emotional attachment to the characters is by tragedy and sympathy. Good Lord... I don't like the story that much actually, its fairly average all around, however, I am becoming more and more sucked in by a simple setup that never fails to tug at my heartstrings: In which the story is set in a tumultuous age, where chaos, suffering, and justice can only be enforced with violence and at cost of the good guys' own conscience and humanity; If the author is able to bring out the darkness and hopelessness of this setting well enough, even if she/he's not such a great romance writer, the mere mention of something other than depression and death is enough to make it strike deep into the readers' emotions; Saya's innocence is made more radiant by her perilous and unhappy fate as a girl sold to a brothel, Akesato's (dang I like this character) love for the man she was assigned to enhanced by their tragic circumstance, Ayumu taking her brother's place and dying in his stead..................................

That said, I ship the following couples:

Akesato-Susumu: Both ninjas, both people who hide their hearts and faces, both lost the love of their life in a very, very, very bad away. A pity that the manga doesn't do more to bring together these two non-historical characters (which would allow the author so much more flexbility to deal with them). They share common sorrows, struggles, and experiences... and both are survivors of grief.

Saya-Tetsu: I have a feeling that after so much misfortune and weeping and gnashing of teeth, the author won't torture readers further by giving these two an unhappy ending. They are the "hope of the future" after all.

Ayumu-Susumu: Damn, why'd she have to die? It's criminal, and I'll be darned if I don't write at least one fanfic dedicated to this noble and loving character. *sniffel*

Wow.
x3
This topic is old, but I have completely finished the series, and I found it fantastic.
But all I have been wondering is that, I found this manga scan when it shows Tetsu all grown up.
o_o He...looks really hot.

I have no idea what volume the manga is from, but could anyone tell me? @O@ I would kill my self to see the entire story of this full-grown-up-really-hot-Testu story thing.

As I understand it, the manga of Peacemaker is split into two parts, the first being Shinsengumi Imoun (the Tales of Shinsengumi) which actually contains the story shown up to the point in the anime, more or less. The image you see is from volume 1 of Peacemaker Kurogane, the second set, which isn't actually set all that long after the events in the anime/first set, but the logic is that having dealt with his past burden, Tetsu entered a rapid growth spurt.

hehe, don't be fooled. that's not Tetsu. XP

Spoiler:

Cal-Reflector, i know of an ordeal that's far worse than what Ayame or Maes had to go through. and she didn't even die. but it was really that nasty. >_<

I been watching peacemaker on Showtime Beyond but in the episode where Tetsunosuke and Saiya are at the shrine. He's talking about becomming a demon and Saiya writes something on the ground, Tetsunosuke yells at her don't be stupid does she want him to stay the way he is forever and Saiya runs off. What did Saiya write on the ground?

Siya~chan · 2009-03-05, 21:05

Interesting, with the right cast of actors this could become an awesome drama

Guardian Enzo · 2009-11-02, 20:20

As long as we don't get a 25 year-old Tetsu. The whole point, production team, is that his psyche is deeply impacted by the fact that he looks like a young boy.
