Saw the first episode tonight as part of Crunchyroll’s Anime effect sneak peak. Happy to have this back, I never got around to reading it since spring 2023, so I forgot some of the details from the first season. Didn’t feel like a first episode back after 2 years rather than a straight up continuation. A recap would’ve been nice. That aside, the animation and art which were the biggest issues with the first season, have dramatically improved.

It’s still not JJK or Reze level animation, but it’s much better than some of the slideshow stuff in season 1. Gabimaru’s fight looked dope. Hate that it leaves off on such a cliffhanger tho 😭 I wanna see what Jikka will bring to the island in this season and the other new characters. Hype af, that OST is just as good as I remember too.

Glad to hear it, the story was already great, production is just what let this show down so if they’ve sorted that throughout the run, we’re chilling. Certainly a good start.

I wonder if what Yuzuriha meant by what Sagiri is going to do about Gabimaru's wife is if she likes Gabimaru or it refers to her questioning if she exists in season 1. The Tensen's training area looks out of place for the Tokugawa shogunate. Not anything happening to advance the plot first episode except the Iwagakure ninjas being sent to Shinsenkyo.

I felt the same on both accounts. It needed something to make it feel like an episode 1 instead of an episode 14. And it was also really good production wise. Hopefully it keeps it up for the entire season. Also felt like it should have been 2 eps so it didnt leave off in the middle of a fight but not much you can do there.

Yea opening up with the samurai meeting with zero recap of what happened before or even a montage after 2 years was .. a choice. I really hope it looks as good consistently.
