| This feels like One Piece if it had deaths when they are meant to be. Some unfortunate CGI this episode; hopefully it improves. |

@animejas I do not like you as an individual person, in fact, I hate you maybe
| @VanVeleca Good for you I guess, not trying to take anything personally lol. It is what it is. |
| Tokiyuki wants to master archery, even though he was almost killed trying. It’s clear that while he’s great at escaping, he still has a lot to learn about fighting techniques. The animation was bad, the use of CGI was very noticeable and felt very robotic, which shouldn’t matter, but honestly, it did. I hope it’s just this episode and the animation returns to the level of the first three episodes because, aside from the CGI, it was a good episode. |

| Another solid episode. Sawa was actually toned down for much of the episode so we could appreciate his cunning and strategy a little without him derailing everything with endless obnoxious jokes. It was a little odd after it being established Tokiyuki was a goof off who didn't take anything seriously that oh by the way he's actually an accomplished archer. And we already saw him behead a grown man but now he's too feeble to slice up a wood target. I'm willing to roll with it for cool archery scenes and because it'll fit his evasive style, but seemed like it abandoned its own continuity for convenience. I like Sadamune: ruthless, skilled, and gives new meaning to the word bug-eyed. At times it got a little silly but overall I thought it was effectively off-putting. Ashikaga's own eyes within eyes when his humanity was questioned was a neat visual. I'm curious how literal we're supposed to take these inhuman features. I'd kind of wonder if they're possessed or something, but then again Tokiyuki's uncle had some pretty wild, over the top facial expressions and he was very human. Maybe it's all just style and not to be read into. Curious to see how everything plays out in the next episode. It'd be a short show if Tokiyuki didn't rise to the occasion, but Sadamune doesn't seem like the kind of guy you can expect to live up to his end of the bargain. And if you kill him so soon after being given control of the province that'd just create suspicion and invite reprisal. |

| @animejas Some people need to learn to not be so fragile when there's differing opinions or if they can't there's the ignore feature. It's actually kind of funny because your posts are always thoughtful and well-written, even when I disagree with them, so these reactions feel especially over the top and out of left field. Maybe they have you mixed up with another animejas who's just being a trolling debbie downer. |
| Sadamune is so viscerally disturbing and ugly to look at, but he's also kind of fun to watch (just like the show itself, I guess). His voice sounds amazing when he's not screeching or being weird, and it turns out he's the Narrator from Kaguya-sama. The storyline feels like it's coasting, when it hasn't really earned it. The animation team seems to be resting on their laurels as well. Hope the archery competition wraps up nicely next week and manages to hold my attention. |

Ehh I disagree, I think the story was set up well in terms of it being an adventure, getting more allies, and training at a decent pace to fight the main antagonist. I'm not sure what you mean by "It hasn't really earned it". Animation was great overall other than the inconsistent archer fight bit but even with that the CGI wasn't bad.

| @GrimLegend Yes the story was "set up," but for me, only on paper; I'm still not emotionally invested in the story, and I don't find the characters even that likable. It might be a "me problem," but I think some of the blame lies with the show, with constant interruptions from the over-the-top comedy and off-putting visuals. The archery competition seems like a fun story bit, but it feels like it came too early. The show seems to be assuming that I'm already in love with these characters and just want to see them defeat the "villain of the week," but I was finding myself not really caring what happens to Tokiyuki. Maybe the archery competition will conclude in an unexpected and satisfying way. Maybe the show is not a dramatic, desperate race to defeat Ashikaga, but more a slice-of-life about remaining hidden and fighting off goons. I still can't quite figure out this show, but it is fun to look at, so I'm sticking around. |
| They're certainly saving the budget for the next episode. can't wait for more! |

| Hah bro what’s with the eyes in this show being so goddamn extra😭 The way bros nose squished in Yorishige’s nose made me burst out laughing bc of how stupid it was like this show be serious then the comedy hits out of the blue and it’s just funny yk🤣 Tokiyuki dodging a train when he has no clue and idea of what a train is is funny to me LMAO The cgi was bad in this episode if anything it was actually pretty decent it was hard on the eyes whatsoever, good job Cloverworks🔥🙌🏽 Can’t wait to see next episode and how our boy Tokiyuki is gonna handle this :D     |
| I hope this episode with CG is a one-off case. :/ |

So the emperor is never actually shown I assume, this goes with the tradition that most anime never show or even mention the emperor, at least for anime set in modern day Japan, they never talk about the current emperor...
| This show is trying to be the new Kakegurui in terms of weird facial reactions or not? @MadanielFL This applies only to the current emperor and his close relatives. Medieval emperors are shown quite openly, compare with Heike Monogatari. |

| How dare that bastard hurt the shrine maiden. Tokiyuki get revenge. Heavy 3dcg use this episode but not bad. |

I just checked his profile, how has he/she watched 400+ anime and has a mean score under 3? Either it's bad luck or just stupidity. I'm inclined on the latter.

| The eye caught me off guard. It looks so nasty like damn. Ogasawara needs to blink, I feel like his eyes might pop any minute. Now who decided to use dogs as targets |

The article also refer to actual Ogasawara Sadamune, the founding father of a major archery tradition up to present and who is portrayed in this show as the bug-eyed guy.
