Reikenzan: Eichi e no Shikaku

im not sure if there is or will be there a third part, but i have 0 intentions to watch it. In this anime we had 12 chapters without a north. The main character was the old and annoying cliche, a "knows everything" who always has an ace under his sleeve, he always has everything calculated, 0 development or grow, it was like watching Death Note or Doctor house, also the premise was really pooor, etc etc you can easily skip this anime and continue with your life.

The episode was good, it gave me a bit a relief watch Ouriku suffering for his actions, but it was starting to feel like the twilight ar of Berserk tbh, and thats the part were this lost, i dont think wel´ll be able to see a lot of character development, and its sad, because, i mean, he his the main character

despite showing mere politics and burocracy, this one was a bit more entretaining than the previous one. And i didn´t like Sushin, but i think it could have been good to have him showing his own report in person, i would have been more drastic

Pure politics and power game in this episode, the part where Bunho was glitching was actualy real funny. So whats next? The destruction of the new heretic sect?

this was an unexpected change, it was a different plot with the basics from the whole serie. At the end of the day, Ochu didn´t do it, but he was about to, and for me, thats already a betrayal and he should be responsible for it

The fight scene was awesome ngl , but at the end of the episod, it made me feel thet the serie lost it´s north, this thing of the new sect to save the village scalated out of proportion in my opinion, and im starting to dislike i.

The ending of this series, which left me wanting more, but in a bad way. I feel like this story has such an interesting premise, even the writers actually able to pull an cruel world, in a sense. But at the same time, none of the main character has any scratch on them, and that quick, almost abrupt end left a bitter taste in my mouth, like why spend so much time on mundane things when we, as the audience KNOWS you can expand on other things in the story. I don't know, maybe they were shooting for a season three.

We get a glimpse into Ouriku's psyche, which in theory should've been fun, especially with how he had conducted things so far. But to my disappointment, the episode doesn't really do that, I feel like there's nothing I enjoyed from this episode, except the fact that it moved the plot forward., and maybe some of the scenes with Ouriku is okay enough too, at the very least it doesn't drag the plot down.

A meh episode. I want to like Bunhou so bad, especially in this episode, but once again Ouriku took the wheel. Not that it's bad, it's just felt like everyone is bending to his will, in a way, even when we're seeing more opposition this episode. The discussion is boring, almost like hearing my ex-boss kept going about his speech.

We shifted focus, and weirdly enough I really enjoy this part. I feel like the story doesn't drag nor skip any part, maybe because they had to finish this plot in an episode. But overall it feels gritty and the tension didn't leave, especially during that latter parts in the episode. I think I really like the prince too lol.

I don't know about this episode. On one hand I really like the flare and drama of the characters, but on the other hand I feel like everything is such a cheap pull. Maybe it won't feel as such if I had watched the first season, but it did, which is disheartening to say the least. And that montage, I swear this anime love montages, but it took too long of a screentime, an if yoi're making it that long , just make an actual scene instead.

I feel like praise is due on the right place, and I do find the fights fun here and there, especially when they are fighting not just for the sake of it, like Ouriku here, because he has something at stake, even his believe is there. But again, the pacing is as bad as ever, with them showing a minute of montage of the villagers building, the same exact one that I had complained about previously, which is quite funny actually lol.

I just know that character that showed up late is probable a reoccuring character from last season, which sadly I haven't watch. On the other side, we get to see Ouriku's believe, when talking with Okami, which makes me feel eerie from him, but also realized what type of world they're living in. The fightscene is meh, but not that I dislike it, it's just okay for its time.

There was a theme dissonance between the resolve to allow people hurting themselves and the admiration of strength wield by the common folk. Though I get the intention of emphasizing the idea of educating and giving accessibility for the commoners in order to elevate them instead of hoarding knowledge, the message fell flat when the knowledge has high potential of making people suffer and the teacher does not make contingency of preventing less casualties.

Again with this anime and the unnecessary scenes. Does Kain's "training" has to be shown? If there's none of it, we STILL won't be missing anything. Besides everything, I do like the plot, it seemed fun and weirdly enough I think Kain is a good character, as we get to see him interact with someone he knows from his previous sect.

I feel like this episode is a bit of a drag, as the plot could be done fairly quicker if they had cut off the part where people were building and all. I like how we get to know Ouriku a bit better here, and how others are seeing him. The relationship between him and Okami/Rei, and also him and Bunhou is something I really like a different dynamic as they see other things in Ouriku. That ending was quite surprising to be honest, I'm quite pleased with it.

This is such an odd episode. Do I have fun? Yes. Am I confused throughout the episode? Also yes. I feel like they like to skip around a lot, which made me unable to comprehend what's happening. For example here, the skip from Ouriku and his group discussing and then the scene where they pretend in the village, I feel like there should be a bridge there, but there's none, which caught me off guard for a second.

We skipped some time and went to Okami's home where Ouriku discuss strategy with her, and even involved Bunhou. I feel like we're skipping lots of things but keeping the weirdest thing intact. For example, how Ouriku found the accomplices, or how did Okami even get out after what she did. It's confusing and the pace is everywhere at once.

I should've seen the first season first, but oh what the heck, let's see the second one and later I'll review the first season. The beginning was quite good at explaining what's happening, who Ouriku is, and what's he's doing. And the bait for this episode was really good, and I like how the villagers act like actual villagers, as they used to swarm over one collective opinion, whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter. The animation is meh, I feel like I was watching something in my grandpa's TV with the cheesy SFX and all lol. Overall it's an okay first episode.

I hate Riku so much. I can understand his point of view and there isn't a lack of logic, The fact this episode is spotlighting his self-righteousness is honestly absurd and I want to toss him off a cliff. The resolve to be right doesn't make it right. This is an episode that celebrate hubris, it's honestly infuriating. At the very least, I can appreciate the fact the episode is acknowledging the risk and deaths caused by his way of teaching.
