Hanamaru Touken Ranbu S2

New episode today.
Time for Daddy.

Fudou hype

I hope he'll do dumb shit.

I wonder if he'll be as chill as Juzumaru.

Is the chink bilibili faggot going to stream? Looks like he's busy doing some dumb shit.

There's still a bit less than 15 minutes. Don't worry.

Stream looks okay now, same shit as last week before the ep.

I really feel like rewatching Katsugeki now.

I think something is happening this week, Hanamaru devs were shilling the episode too hard.

Didn't the preview pics show Yasusada? Maybe he'll return already.

You mean this? It might be a flashback or maybe we'll see him during his travel.

Will be there a BD rip of Katsugeki someday? I'll gladly rewatch it then.

Here we go

I rewatched it recently and enjoyed it a lot more than the first time. Once you ignore the angst and the failed attempts at making a dramatic story you realize it's actually very amusing. Plenty of cool and epic scenes, heroic music and all the characters rock. What I like the most about Katsugeki is that it shows how would swords behave like when they are given independency and have to take the initiative during missions that last for days.

But I understand that for people whose favorite swords weren't included it wasn't as thrilling.

What the fuck Tsuru.

>Tsurumaru's huge turnip had to be censored

The quality sure took a dive.

Shit, Kiyomitsu.

The visual of Fudou sitting at a bar with Nihongou, Jirou, and Tarou makes me way too happy.

DAMEGATANA

If the swords start using the rooms around the citadel as they want, I hope it'll give fuel for doujin makers.

What can't Hasebe do?

ARUJI NO TAME NI

The quality seems to alternate between episodes. Episode one was pretty good, two was meh, three went back to looking decent and now here we are.

I wonder how long Hasebe could ramble on about aruji.

Hanamaru's Aruji took advantage of the smithing campaign I see.

He probably knows more about Aruji than Aruji themselves.

FUCK YOU LUCKSHITTER ARUJI
I want Kogarasumaru too

I didn't know Mucchan could do this.

O-Sayo, maji tenshi.

KUNIHIRO BROTHERS

FINALLY

Manba is super cute.

Poor Manba, I want to comfort him.

Everyone's daddy.

Kiyomitsu being sad kills me.
He dreamed about Yasu, got disappointed when he wasn't choosen to go on sortie...

Fuck

The Yamanbagiri healing brought peace to my heart.

So next week is Miike bros, right?

He deserves to be happy.

No shirtless fanservice this week?
Is this all we got?

I waited 16 episodes for this moment.
Does this mean Yasusada's trip really took like 1 year and 4 months? Poor Kashuu.

We don't know.
He left during December and it's April in this week's episode.

Cute endcard.

>Manba's smile status: protected

I couldn't ask for a better way to end the episode.

How old is Kogarasu anyway?

He was forged in the 8th century.

Raw is up.

>Yasusada walking past Okita-kun's gravesite

I hope we'll have an episode dedicated to Yasusada's travel.

Yamanbagiri was defiled once more

Manba confirmed citadel bicycle.

>when your dad makes you dance with him at the talent show
How embarrassing.

I'm healed.

Kogara lost his nose! Help him find it!

Brothers loving brothers is the purest form of love

Got it.

Poor guy gets shipped with pretty much anyone, I feel bad for the astounding amount of dicking he receives. When I see how much he hates himself I just want him to be protected.

Although I thank the gods for all the infinite JijixManba porn.

...

TOO BIG TSURU

Is this a dickjoke or something?

...

No, they are referencing this.

>date
He's too cute for that.

...

...

Sorry I'm slow

Lion boy is a good boy.

Shishiou has always been one of the lewdest swords, I'm glad they gave him that kinky smile in the ED.

I'm so glad they're doing another special event.

...

Daddy is so pretty.

Subs are coming out now

Is it me or does the quality take a nosedive in episodes where the swords that are featured are the toothpicks? It seems really fishy.

Staff obviously like the baras more

The staff have good taste.

So this is Hasebe's nightwear.
Nice tits.

Katsugeki was great at depicting characters. Also the top tier animation. Seeing swords doing cool and serious things is my wet dream.

Btw, I do not want to compare 2 essentially different series with different tones but I could not understand why Hanamaru's art quality is so messy while the sale of season 1 is even better than Katsugeki.

Something tells me the EDs have something to do with that, them being so drop dead pretty. A great majority of the budget probably goes to whoever artist does that shit.

>4 animation directors + 4 "helpers"
Staff is kill.

> but I could not understand why Hanamaru's art quality is so messy while the sale of season 1 is even better than Katsugeki.
Different studios. Even if it sold more, it doesn't really matter.
Even at its worst, Ufotable's anime look better than average.
>Something tells me the EDs have something to do with that
It's Kamikaze Douga that does the EDs, not Dogakobo.

The seiyuu and all the different songs must be expensive too. Most of the new swords introduced this season are voiced by popular seiyuu.

It's not budget, but fucked scheduling that's the issue. As mentioned we already had 4 animation directors and 4 helper ADs on episode 4.
Points to a show massively behind schedule being rushed out

I hope the quality doesn't get too bad.

>Swordsluts gets 2 good anime, one SoL, one action
>meanwhile boatsluts got a single shitty anime
Lucky us

Didn't kancolle get a movie too?

The boatshit anime was a fucking trainwreck from the moment they killed off that one boat and still proceeded with lighthearted slice of life shit up until the """"dramatic"""" finale. The emotional whiplash was strong.

As much as I sometimes feel like complaining about petty things, swordfags in general are pretty spoiled compared to other franchises. Feels good.

Maybe that's why they decided to split Touken Ranbu into two anime?

Boatfags moved to Azur Lane now.

That's exactly why Touken Ranbu was split into two anime. They realized that mixing drama and lighthearted comedy was definitely an unwise decision. Look at boatshit, just one anime and a meh at best movie.

I actually feel sorry for boatfags how spoiled for choice we are compared to them.

I thought Azur Lane was just a short time trend because of the whole Kadokawa fiasco. Are nips seriously supporting chink games now?

By the way thanks to that user who recommended that Genji brothers doujin last week. It's the wildest and hottest shit I've read in a while.

I don't know but it's going super strong.

What's the doujin called? Asking for research purposes of course.

It's [Candy-ya (Soul)] Midnight (Touken Ranbu).

God I fucking LOVE hasebe.

Thank you.

>tfw no Hasebe to take care of you.
I'm jealous of Hanamaru's Aruji.

Yagen a slut

My personal slut.
