Basilisk

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

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.

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. :roll:

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.

Well, more than 13 I guess :). Having just one more ep for showdown would be a bit steep.

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

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

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

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 :).

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.

Yupp immortality is a real b*tch...

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....

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 :P
