Basilisk

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:48 pm

They all seem like ruthless killers, but at least people like Okoi and that fat guy who's name I can't remember seemed like more or less likeable humans outside their "job", while the Iga seem like ruthless killers all the time (except for Oboro, of course.)
I was pretty disappointed with Gennousuke in ep. 9, even though his technique is great, he was cold as hell, and I'm sure it would have only taken a few words to get Oboro to melt between his fingers. Well, that would have cut the story short a good deal I guess, and it would have destroyed the tragic aspect of it, but it would have been more plausible IMHO, since Oboro is so soft herself, and he knows it.

Sorry for being dumb but could I get a link or a pm with a link to the torrents? I don't have much experience outside of animesuki

I thinkt it was right that he didnt talk to oboro when he left Iga cause he knew that they were enemies now.

Oboro must stop being so naive thanks to her they lost the only person who had a chance against Gennoueske.

About the ninjas being human and stuff. Its seems to me that the Kouga are actings as if they are only doing thier job while the Iga top ninjas fights with a lot of hate,maybe cause they have a better reason to hate Kouga than Kouga has to hate them.

My fav ninja was Yashamaru,i like his skill what a horrible death he died, i hoped he would die like ninja not be strangled to death like he was nothing.

Well, the show has just a touch of Romeo and Juliet, I would have thought it would have more weight, even at the beginning. If you're just going to destroy the romance in the first ep where it's tested, why not just leave it out right away?

Well, strangely enough the people I feel most sorry for in this show are the stupid mooks who get chopped up by virtually any powerful char in this show.

11 is out by okoi^sugoi, check baka-updates for the link.

Post by **TheDarkness** » Tue Jul 26, 2005 11:13 pm

*goes off to the site to start the download

11 rocks btw.

12 has been out for a day or two, check baka-updates for details.

Edit: Ep. 12 rocks, too, although not too much happens. But there are a lot of character scenes. This show is getting to be very good.

Yeah this Series´s just keeps growing and growing on you doesn´t it

Post by **akari** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 6:42 pm

How many eps will there be? Anyone knows?

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 12:47 am

Well, more than 13 I guess

. Having just one more ep for showdown would be a bit steep.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:23 am

13 is out by "NoNameWinners", possibly okoi^sugoi, too.

Nice ep, the makers seem to like playing with the sympathies of their audience.

Post by **Loeviz** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 4:59 pm

I got Zero sympathies for the Iga clan... Ok, maybe a little. But only for Oboro and Errrr. What´s his name,

Spoiler:

The one that can´t see anymore.

Actually I thought snake-and-butterflies Hotarubi quite touching in that ep.

Also, Saemon was really cruel. I don't think either of them hold a lot of sympathies with me. Of course the Kouga have noone quite as genuinely evil as Tenzen, and noone quite as disgusting as the hairy guy. But I wouldn't want to meet either side on the streets

.

Post by **Loeviz** » Sun Aug 14, 2005 5:34 pm

Hehe No I wouldnt want to meet anyone on the street either

Well maybe Oboro, she seems quiet harmfull atm.
Definetly not Tenzen though, he´s really disturbed

Just watched episode 14, and like always I can´t wait until the next episode comes out

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Aug 14, 2005 11:51 pm

damn, have to get 14, too

, but it's too late now.

Post by **TheDarkness** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 12:17 am

argh.... where do you get them eps... i don't wanna go on IRC for them... queues on anime are in the thousands...

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 1:27 pm

Er.... search baka-updates for basilisk. That should get you the eps you want.

Post by **Loeviz** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 1:45 pm

I was acutally thinking on how the heck are they supposed to get rid off Tenzen, I mean do they have to carv out his heart and eat it or something

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 8:35 pm

Well, tenzen is one mean mother...

he doesn't seem to be all that strong, though, unfortunately immortality goes a long way.

I'm guessing he'll kill the clay guy now, though.

Post by **Loeviz** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 9:13 pm

Yupp immortality is a real b*tch...
And yes

I´m guessing the same thing, to even out the score a bit. To bad though, I liked him

I'm wondering as to what is gennosuke's real power cause it would be kinda dull to have two people wit the exact same power....

Post by **Loeviz** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 7:30 am

Well They don´t have the exact same power I think.

Gennouske can steer his enemies movements, but Oboro seem´s to frighten the one´s she looks in the eye´s so they just want to end their lives, but then again. I could be wrong

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 1:48 pm

Oboro?
