So why didn't Manji pick his own arm again afterwards?

This episode was such a fucking fever dream. Perfect for the finale i suppose. The ending is so appropriately melancholic too. 100 years later everyone whose story even mattered is dead, forgotten by the times. Though it's of some comfort that Rin's descendants exist and not Anotsu's or Kagimura's. Now i guess i'll read the manga since everyone insists it's so much better.
Thomas Ramirez
why did rin break down crying near the end
i'm so fucking lost i have no idea what happened
Elijah Baker
Let me get this straight.
It ends with the Itto-ryu being wiped out, then we get a timeskip 80 years down the line and no one remembers them. Manji is naturally still around due to being immortal and is tasked with looking after Fuyu, who I presume is Rin's descendant. And then the anime ends, with the two of them riding off into the sunset.
Aiden Garcia
She was pretending to be all mature and strong but deep down she just wanted to be with Manji
Ian Moore
Farewell best girl.
Jonathan Russell
well that flew over my head, thanks
Connor Johnson
also she was still sad because her parents are dead
Colton Howard
I never really got to read the manga. Just the 1st series 12 years ago.
The 2nd part especially of this adaptation felt really rushed. They tried to adapt the whole manga? The OST was more memorable in the 1st anime.
It's probably still the best idea to read the manga someday.
Austin Peterson
Last episode already? And here I thought I would get to post in these threads a bit more. Seems like I never made it in time aside from when ep1 and 2 were released.
Thoroughly loved it even though it did feel like it was paced at the speed of light sometimes. But I guess that's what happens when you're told to adapt the whole thing in one go.
I also really like how they handled the budged. Never felt cheap in any way even though it wasn't the biggest production.
Godspeed Hamasaki.
Christopher Johnson
As a reminder of the Ittou Ryu and his promise to Anotsu. Considering he barely remember the Ittou Ryu and he even forgot Anotsu's name until the loli pointed out about his missing pinky, it seems it was a good idea
Justin Clark
Reminder that Anotsu won at the end. His real goal wasn't to earn a government position or similar shit but to destroy the sectarism of the martial art styles for a more pragmatic approach. Anotsu wanted Manji to see if his ideology was going to win at the end and MMA have exposed traditional martial arts.
Ian Edwards
rest in peace
yeah i think they handled it well. not sure if they'll be another season but i like how they showed how time moved on, and he is in a new era now taking care of the girl
Nolan Edwards
Crossover with Rurouni Kenshin when?
Elijah Brown
Despite the rushed adaption and low budget I really enjoyed this, I hope Hamasaki's next project gets the time and money he deserves because he's fantastic.
Nicholas Long
I love how quick and brutal that scene was. Sword fights are supposed to be real quick because the target is the enemy's body and in a real war, foot soldiers often die without even realizing it
Parker Russell
The protector of imoutos will be released from his violently immortal wanderings only by protecting 100 loli smiles.
Ultimately pragmatic thinkers won the ideological war even though Anotsu died. The firearm supplanted the blade as the soldier's weapon. Schools of swordsmanship? The blades became bamboo and it's just recreational sport now. the sword got buried under superior killing power of the raifu.
Ryder Reed
Don't forget that even after martial arts became a recreational sport, their practical use was questioned through the 20th century, most famously by Bruce Lee (he and Anotsu could be bros) and now China has to ban MMA because the CCP relate kung fu and tai chi with nationalism. Nevertheless...
Elijah Cruz
despite all it's other flaws, the fight scenes were utter carnage at times
they were truly brutal and that was fun to see
Colton Sanchez
It peaked with episode 20.
Jack Nelson
the martial arts guy is a fatty, of course he would get rekt.
Ryan Moore
It plateaued at episode 1.
Benjamin Ortiz
Maybe you need a little context
Christopher Diaz
>Manji burying his swords
Alexander Carter
it doesn't matter he is a kung fu master, he is a fatty, so he is easy to beat
Samuel Gutierrez
If anything this has made me check out Shigurui, also directed by Hamasaki.
Jackson Anderson
>manji watching everyone he used to know and care about die then forgetting them
>for eternity
Zachary Bennett
the journey was sad and brutal
a bittersweet final was about right
Gabriel Moore
Why didn't the loser samurai commit seppuku after all? How did the old itto ryuu guy survive a stab to the chest?
Hunter Gonzalez
Fuck I wanted Manji and Rin living together ending. Not necessarily as lovers but, just together. Even more frustrating they had the chance but went "meh" at the end.
Nathaniel Thompson
don't worry, he'll buy a gun
Christopher Cooper
Wow, spoilers much
Caleb Gomez
>On a mission to (Determined result)
well no bias there.
Dominic Cook
>coming into a final episode thread without having watched the episode
>complains about spoilers
that's on you bud, if you want nice spoiler free discussion you can go to reddit
Dominic Barnes
Not him, but the spoilers seemed to be about the manga, since they were in a reply to a manga post.
Jonathan Adams
>post stars with "this episode
>thinks it's a manga post
bruh
Aaron Flores
That was a good anime /10
Daniel Wilson
and it ends saying user was going to read the manga, then another user replies spoiling something
Blake Foster
This adaptation is so cheap that they couldn't even animate Manji going away while Rin and Hyakurin talked?
Noah Brown
it sure would have made a lot more sense if i could have seen manji walking off
Kevin Campbell
Who was the old dude that baldy met on the brigde with the granddaughter?
Jordan Kelly
Now time for Hamasaki to direct Despera
Lincoln Ramirez
Yeah, read it, it's worth.
There's so many little details left out, every character story and arc suffered a lot.
Hyakurin even says that she went there for the "send off".
I assumed that she wasn't talking just about Rin.
It's already happening.
There's a spin-off right now that happens during the Bakumatsu.
Christian Fisher
>Rin's own family only lasted a couple of generations before an internal squabble over the dojo
Poetic
Charles Young
Rin called out Manji's name multiple times when having sex with the father of her childern.
Camden Parker
Mugen no Juunin mean The Inhabitant of Infinite.
Anthony Robinson
The guy the other guy stabbed.
Christian Martinez
This had the same director? I guess I could have noticed that, but I hated Shigurui and loved this. Maybe it was as if Shigurui was like the worst episodes of Mugen no Juunin, except for the whole duration of the show and barely anything to redeem them other than the art.
Nathaniel Perez
naruhodo
Hunter Morales
This one.
Zachary Morris
Currently catching up to the end but my god this is one of the coolest deaths ever.
Jordan Diaz
he looked fucking ancient there, how did he live for another 80 goddamn years
Elijah Collins
Sosuke Abayama
Jose Brown
This scene happens after 3 month after final battle
Adrian Gomez
god the ending was so confusing the way they chopped it up and arranged it
Asher Peterson
Yeah, that was fucking hardcore.
Ryan Ward
Yep, they chopped to much from original, like scene where Manji leaving Rin (some user mentioned before), or scene where sailos says Manji that Anotsu is alive.
Tyler Thomas
Can you blame her? Manji is fucking hot and his voice is pure sex.
Zachary Richardson
shows like this which are so close to being great are much more frustrating to review than a show that is simply bad. in my head i can remember so many scenes that were absolutely fantastic but altogether the show feels somewhat like a scrapbook of plot points cut out from the manga. this show wouldnt be what it is without hamasaki so respect to him and the staff. left wanting more, i could read the manga but i want more of this anime.
Mason Wood
Can't believe I sat through 24 episodes of this absolute garbage. I was laughing at everything that happened in the past 2-3 episodes. The ending put me in to a fit of laughter. What a god damn comedy.
