There was 2 girls, which I believe belong to Ukitake. Then there is a woman with an eye patch, haven't seen her yet. And another guy in a sort of snakish-hooded robe that we have yet to see as well. The one with the eye patch may belong to Saido and the hooded one very well could be CC's. Can't wait to see more of this arch.

Also, no need for spoilers on the anime that aired already :p

ah the woman that look like a pirate of some sort

could it be capt. ohana Zanpaktou in human form ?? i imagine

I enjoyed the part between Ashoki and Yachiru more :p come to think of it. We've never seen her zanpuktou in shikai either. :blink:

It's hard to believe the Captain-Commander is held captive though :huh:

We've never really seen Yachiru do any fighting either though.

Latest episode of Kimi no Todoke was the best so far without a doubt, everything was just perfect with Sawako :happy:

awesome. Hope we get to see them fight soon. Wonder if the captain was just playing coy this whole time just so he could find the CC.

Last episode of Cowboy Bebop = epic gun/sword fight.

I gave Cowboy Bebop a 10 because it is probably the only anime series that has classy comedy, intelligent characters battling with duality and various situations depicting their personalities. The story line (following Spike) isn't original; neither are the characters nor their actions. However, the space setting with a neo-capitalist society run amok by the Japanese type of yakuza in some parts accompanied by the jazzy blues and eclectic song mix sums up how this anime series' whole is much more than the sum of its parts.

I just re-watched the first season of Initial D. I love cars, even though I'm not that knowledgeable about the technical part of cars. I gave this anime an eight out of ten when I first watched it. I have to dock two points because the novelty wore off and I noticed the cheesy background music (with some interesting trance thrown in for good measure), horrific animation of the characters and terribly clicheed shounen characters. (However, the main character does have an interesting relationship with a girl with a very questionable "part time job".) The only redeemable factor about this anime is that when it comes to cars, it provides an exciting, unique experience for any anime fan out there and "detailed" car battles. Out of the swamp of mechas, harems, "moe" animes and post-apocalyptic landscape that one can call "anime", Initial D manages to cover a hobby/sport well enough to give the adrenaline rush of watching an animated drift race.

Original score: 8/10

Revised score: 6/10

Note: This thread finally passed 100,000 views. BANZAI!

Muramasa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This article is about the famous swordsmith. For the video game, see Muramasa: The Demon Blade. For the band, see Japanese ska.

Muramasa Sengo (千子 村正 Sengo Muramasa) was a famous swordsmith who founded the Muramasa school and lived during the Muromachi period (16th century) in Japan. Oscar Ratti and Adele Westbrook said that Muramasa "was a most skillful smith but a violent and ill-balanced mind verging on madness, that was supposed to have passed into his blades....They were popularly believed to hunger for blood and to impel their warrior to commit murder or suicide."[1]

The school of sword-making at Ise province was famous for the extraordinary sharpness of their blades. The earliest known work of the school is dated at 1501; the Muramasa school continued into the late 1500s.[2] It's believed that Sengo Muramasa was a student of Heianjo Nagayoshi, a prominent Kyoto swordsmith known for spears and engravings.

Muramasa's swords fell out of favor with the Japanese government when Tokugawa Ieyasu became shogun, establishing the Tokugawa Shogunate, in 1603. It is said that Ieyasu had lost many friends and relatives to Muramasa blades and had cut himself badly with one, so he forbade his samurai to wear blades made by Muramasa. This contributed even more to the Muramasa legend and led to many plays and dramas in Japanese literature featuring the blades. Due to the stigma attached to them, many Muramasa blades had their signature changed or removed. Since opponents of the Tokugawa Shoguns would often wish to acquire Muramasa blades, forgeries of Muramasa blades were also often made.

The swords of Muramasa are often contrasted with those of Masamune, another Japanese swordsmith.

There is a legend of a Masamune blade and a Muramasa blade being put into a river strewn with lotus leaves. The leaves swirled around the Masamune blade untouched, but the Muramasa blade cut them.

It has also been told that once drawn, a Muramasa blade has to draw blood before it can be returned to its scabbard, even to the point of forcing its wielder to wound himself or commit suicide.[3] Thus, it is thought of as a demonic cursed blade that creates bloodlust in those who wield it.

From Wiki.... Thought it might be interesting to anyone watching Bleach atm.

[thenut]

Inuyasha's one of the original shows that got me hooked on anime. Yes... believe it. :p

I'm waiting to start Final Act to be honest. I really like the English actors from the first series so I might wait for the dubbed version. I'm just not impressed by the quality of the subs or video quality on any of the current releases. Feel free to call me crazy and recommend a good group though. ;)

[Azusa]

HorribleSubs, they do a pretty good job.

Radish?

well they can't take all or any of the credit as the subs they use are ripped from CR.
