Ao No Miburo second episode.
still not getting through to me. maybe if I was super into the shinsengumi I would appreciate seeing all the big names. but so far it didn't hook me yet. the stringer scene does intrigue me, maybe we can finally have some actual plot going on.
episode 3:
This was supposed to be the episode that starts things, and it almost does. but it's still so basic... There's no hook to follow on. not a single plot point to get interested in. and the animation is so stale and cheap, which kills whatever excitment there might have been.
next episode introduces a new kid character, which is actually a known member. let's hope the series finds itself.
