Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

I’m trying out a new style starting with this entry. Most likely I’ll use this method whenever I’m behind in a series I think, but as for the screenshots it’s something I’m testing out as well since it saves me a lot of work. With that said on with my impressions/thoughts of BKI eps.4&5!

Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto Episode 4

Impressions/Thoughts:

God, it’s been so long since I’ve watched that I fell in love with BKI once again. This episode continues from the previous one with the gunman escaping from Akidzuki and the Kakunojo Troupe. From what I gathered, the play that they were going to put on seemed to reveal a scandal of sorts and someone wanted it stopped before that could happen. The gunman returned to finish the job of killing Yuyama but much to his dismay he did not know that Akidzuki was protecting the troupe during the play.

I loved the way they improvised during the play to cover up all the madness that was being caused by the gunman. It’s been a while since I was holding my breath for each scene that passed by. My heart was racing to see if Akidzuki was really going to kill the gunman on stage in front of the crowd, and he did. That’s why he rocks. This entire scandal business and Akidzuki’s goal to cut the thing he encountered in the first episode continues to intrigue me and I hope to find out more about them as I watch the episodes.

Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto Episode 5

Impressions/Thoughts:

Action-packed and thought-provoking episode. Up to now I had no idea what the name of that was but it’s called “The Lord’s Head”. It seems to hold a terrifying source of demonic power given that it turned three men into blood-lusting killing machines. Yet again, Kakunojo’s life was at risk because the very three men (or demons after their conversion) came after her during a performance at Taiyu’s brothel. It’s a good thing that Akidzuki is now the troupes commissioned bodguard because otherwise they would’ve gotten annihilated in this episode.

However, with this episode came even more questions. Is Kakunojo’s life that much of a threat? She’s the first and only person they go after each time an assassination attempt is made from what I’ve observed. If that’s going to happen from now on then I think she should have Akidzuki stay near her at all times. That means 24-hour a day protection so I can enjoy more AkidzukixKakunojo of course!
