| On the morning of the third day since Nio joined the Miburo, he encounters an unfamiliar boy named Tanaka Taro. Though Nio is curious about Taro, who is of the same age, it’s revealed that Serizawa has killed a comrade. |
 |
| It's not getting better. |
| Really liking Nio so far and how he questions what's bad and what's good. |
| I don't get why this has such a low score, this anime is great so far! The animation isn't top notch maybe, but it's not horrible either. The story is captivating and all the characters seem really likeable. Can't wait for next episode! |
 |
| it's censored, in the manga hijikata beheaded that guy at the end and came back to Nio and the girl holding his head. |
| The emotional moments just ring hollow and don't make much sense. At the very least, they feel like they're many episodes too soon. So Nio joined the Miburo "to make the world better" and now immediately starts questioning whether "they're the good guys?" Why is he wondering that already? Because he saw some low-life get cut down, with no context provided? He already knew the Miburo is a violent and feared organization when he joined up; he was in the middle of a swordfight last episode! Yes, the topic in general makes for good drama and character depth, but it's strange to see this in Episode 2, especially when he didn't even do anything yet. I was also rolling my eyes when he saved that little girl, shared his sad childhood and found his resolve (which he already had...? I don't see what changed this time around). It just felt so cheap, obligatory and awkward. |
| Now we got the whole team.....so Saito appeared which means we get Kenshin showing up soon enough right? lol |
 |
| Hmm its decent but superficial. So far im liking the OSTs but this needs time so I decide if I will like it depending on the characters |
| The art work and animation seem a little iffy, but the characters seem interesting enough. Plus I'm a sucker for a good samurai series. Let's see if it can pass the 3 eps test. |
| I'm struggling at first to take this seriously man and it's my own fault for being a Gintama fan and knowing all these names, I just can't unsee them lolololol |
| Nio is already settling in Miburo |
 |
| Fellas be a bit goofy here, that's normal and good. Mixed feelings as two ways to look at it, but regardless full marks. The bad way would be deviation of order leads to more deaths. In a sense, he is fighting for himself, so others could get what he didn't have. All good <3 4/5 awesome to see him so happy and that one guy attempting to... whistle? |
  |
| There are some elements that I like. It's like being inducted into a club where kids are turned into men, but there's some drama here as our mc is a cry baby, maybe a bit. The ending was supposed to be poignant but ruined by the killing in the preview. ugh |

not the troupe i haven't seen before . will watch couple more anyway  |
| Nio gets introduced to the Miburo, where its place is just as every bit as "demonic" as it can be...or it is, on the surface to see guys brawl against one another like it's the usual affair. But when situations occur at the worst, the Miburo gets activated to assess the case, which in this case, is a series of murders as a result of corruption, that is handled like the usual. Hijikata giving Nio the space to think about what justice means to him, while out on patrol alongside Isami Kondo, and a case comes to them with a guy on the fly, and an abandoned girl on the side that he saved and brought her back to its parent, though it deviates from the Miburo's code of arms. And that is his justice, to see children be saved just like he did. Yano Serizawa being the spy to purge the Miburo, trouble has begun. |
 |
| Saitou Hajime's a kid in this lol weren't he and Okita Souji around the same age in real life (a two-year gap at most) |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| So Nio has finally discovered the kind of justice for himself. His character is interesting and for me it's enjoyable at the moment. Nio showed bravery while protecting the girl and it's admirable of him. |
   |
| It's only epsiode two, but I can't wait for the story to build up. I like seeing what Niro wants to do with his life after showing indecision before with his sister. I may grow attached to the characters within the Miburo especially if they get more development, it was fun seeing them interact with each other and showcase that they are not "demons"! However, being within the Miburo may not be as easy as Niro initially thinks, and there isn't much transperancy as to who they are or their true beliefs; each of them has their own "values" they keep to and that may cause conflict within. I'm not a big history person, but I also would've liked some backstory to this to help me build up on some of the notions Niro is making about Kyoto. If Kyoto is a dangerous place, perhaps more exposition than the two women whispering in the beginning about kidnapping would've been more to help guide the viewer as to why something like the Miburo is needed, or why they could actually fester more danger in the region. |
