ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up to sparkles?
*rubs eyes* Oh did I fall asleep while watching Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan? Well let me drink some Code Red (NOM NOM NOM) and muster up some energy to write something. Snarking is something I do well after all.
Beware of unimpressed blog thoughts!
MOG stop the sparkles!
Summary review: People got killed. Like a lot of them. Even though in the middle of the episode it was less than 20 it looked like a lot more than that. The Shinsengumi kicked a lot of butt. Tons of blood. Really who needs plot when we have blood. One of the random we don’t care about you Shinsengumis dies and there are several injuries. Chizuru runs to tell the bigger group that the smaller group is being attacked. Heisuke is battling some baddies when another person claiming not to be a baddie makes the scene. Okita also encounters a person who is smarter than the baddies and claims not be on their side. Both of these men choose not to kill Okita and Heisuke because they are main characters. While stronger these new baddies (not even sure who the old baddies are) only toy with Okita and Heisuke.
...No it's sparkles. I promise.
The bigger group arrives but Hijikata has to stay back to talk to the random important people ( I don’t know, people more important than them?) so his group can get the glory. Chizuru runs in the house/place and causes a huge mess by being useless. She stops the random person from not killing Okita (even though he wasn’t going to anyway). The Shinsengumi go back to their place to regroup and recover. Chizuru is still useless. The Shinsengumi talk about the baddies and how that important group that tried to steal the glory now wants their help in guarding something. There is a side issue with Chizuru going out with two of the boys on patrol but it really is Hijikata’s way of rewarding her when it turns out some kind of festival is in town and he wanted the two boys to take her. The end of the episode as Chizuru joining the uninjured boys to…somewhere while the three injuried main characters stay behind. The end.
Not going to lie. I just wrote crap. I have no idea how to follow that. Any review that contains that many (_)’s is crap. I like how I don’t really name names or organizations or places. Truly this wouldn’t help out someone who didn’t watch the episode.
I don't even know who those people are?! WHO ARE YOU?!
But I feel as if it’s not my fault. The episode went like this for me. Confusion, not really knowing who is who or why these important people are important. So yeah I wrote how the experience was for me. And I am sure the episode was like this for other people too.
Maybe I don't want to know who you are....
I am not sure if I am going to continue to blog about this series. If I do I am more than sure it will be in a snarking way and not a MOG best show ever way. I was expecting a show about Chizuru’s father turning the hotties into monsters (cute manageable monsters) and Chizuru was going to work with the boys to find her father, get the cure, and snag one of the boys in this reverse harem. But all I got is all the boys threatening to kill Chizuru while making googley eyes at her and blood. A lot of blood that is not related to zombies or orgies or demons. That makes me very disappointed.
I think this show would be better suited for someone who knows more about the historical aspects of this time period. Because basically that is all that is going on right now and I am having a hard time following it. On top of that this show has way too many characters for me to follow and I am having a hard time connecting to them.
Feel the closeness.
But the art was nice? Hijikata is doing the stereotypical I’m a jerk but I am doing nice things thing? The Shinsengumi seem to be a tight group (the main ones, not the expendable ones). There is some savable parts of the series but meh.
Meh.
This episode was boring. Like watching a mecha show without the mechas. I am not into random killings and this is so and so, captain of so and so from the land of So. I am thinking that I was lied to in the synopsis of this series and was taken in by the amount of pretty boys. I guess I will see happens next week. But I am not expecting much.
YAY FOR POSITIVE POSTS!
This post probably would have been more positive had I actually gotten off my butt and got the Code Red. :(
And without all the sparkles.

Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only person who's finding this show really dull. I'm super disappointed too because a show with this much action shouldn't be so boring.
blindability- I am so sad to be disappointed in this show but glad other people feel the same way. That means there is merit to the way I feel. It just seems to drag on and on and nothing is happening! We aren't getting to the meat of the story. And really, besides the two super strong baddies the fight scenes were boring the the BAM you are dead in a second crap. Maybe tomorrow episode 4 will be better. :(
ok wow did u watch episode 6 it is getting interesting!! dont blow it off because some parts are boring its a good anime so far so keep watching :)
Melinda- I will have to marathon the episodes I have missed so far this weekend. I had a feeling things might get interesting but I was really put off by the slow pace and random history facts I couldn't understand. But I shall give it a second chance.
