The Sengoku Basara series Thread: NO POLEDANCING KASUGA FOR YOU!

I love how the ass link matches the screen grab caption :cool:

I know, ā€œYou see?ā€:cool:

The raw for episode 5 is out. It is awesome.

[spoiler=]Ainā€™t this a bitch? They are actually following the SB2: Heroes storyline of Oichi (gaiden mode) (which makes me believe they will go deeper on her reaction to Azaiā€™s death and eventual downward spiral to insanity/darkness).

Sasuke and Kasuga finally fight on this episode too and no, not against each other lol. About time Sasuke pulled out those overgrown shuriken.

Hondam is a beast and I.G. actually made him look like a damn Gundam. Next weekā€™s episode looks good too.[/spoiler]

Nagamasa

[details=Spoiler]
Iā€™ve always wondered why Azai would follow Oda in the game. He just seemed too much of a do-good power ranger to me :lol: [/details]

Mitsuhide

Spoiler

Anyone else seeing the seeds of his betrayal being planted yet? I mean I guess they can get away with not mentioning it, but I hope if they do a second series that in addition to including Hanbei and Hideyoshi, they also have Mitsuhide killing Nobunagaā€¦you know to be historically accurate XD

Episode 5 was indeed awesome. Plot is starting to pick up, with the action still being pretty good. BTW, BSSubs has also picked up the series, and they appear to be the most reliable sub group now that Tadashiiā€™s quit (or something), and Shinsen continue their inconsistent ways.

As expected, ep 5 was a good action intensive episode.

GET YA GUNS ON #5

Spoiler

Shingen enjoys tornadoing fools at relative ease. The Shingen/Sasuke/Yukimura vs Tadakatsu battle was easily the best in the episode; could say the same for Masamune vs Nagamasa, but that was more flashy pyrotechnics than anything.

I guess Nagamasaā€™s out of the picture now with all those gunshots he has. I wonder how Oichi will deal with the situation now that her husband was killed by her brotherā€™s (or rather, his confidantā€™s) forces.

Next week will likely be full of fights as this one.

Iā€™m still waiting for 4 to get subbedā€¦whatā€™s taking so long?

4 and 5 are subbed on Anilinkz.com I watched them today. Everybody is in a giant rumble.

It was funny when Sawada or whatever his name is, two spear guy, was like ā€œI BURN!!!ā€

Sanadaā€¦Yukimuraā€¦

I BURN!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! EPISODE SIX RAW!!

For episode 6 Biggest Shock

[details=Spoiler]MY BOY MATSU-FUCKING-NAGA MADE THE CUT!!! Howā€™s this going to play out!!! Iā€™d say shit just got real!!!..but thatā€™d hardly do it justice. Motochika and Mori are mentioned this episode too, man throw them in already!

Oh and skull-cup sake glass is too fucking pimp[/details]

WTF

Spoiler

So we have two bosses in the series now? Isnā€™t this series only 12 episodes? I wonder if we will get Hideyoshi and Hanbei now, leading to one big insane fight at the end. But I definitely didnā€™t expect Matsunagaā€¦gotta find the RAW for myself now!

Maybeā€¦

Spoiler

I smell sequel series, I canā€™t fathom a way theyā€™d wrap this series up in 6 more episodes and still retain the quality theyā€™ve established, hell they basically spent 5 episodes showing how badass Nobunaga is ( and very well done), theyā€™ have to spend 5+ more to really on Nagamasa. And considering Nagamasa IS the reason why Hideyoshi became who he is in this series, and the fact that Keiji would most likely loathe him for it, I canā€™t honestly see this all coming to an end with just 12 episodes and without Hideyoshi becoming the 3rd antagonistā€¦but who knows Iā€™ve been burned before, just not by Basara

Episode 6 was pretty tight but yea I donā€™t see how they can wrap this up properly. Itā€™ll probably either leave off a cliffhanger or end the current arc but leave just enough stuff to start a second season if the series is popular enough. I think itā€™ll depend on the ratings though I donā€™t think that would be an issue. I believe the franchise has a pretty good following if it spanned 3 games, expansion games on different platforms, and itā€™s own anime series but I guess they are hedging their bets.

ep 6

[details=Spoiler]Skull Glass is indeed very pimp.

Oichi better do something at some point because I was hoping she would unleash the beast this episode. I want to see her do something but I guess hoping for that in a 12 episode series is not going to be feasible.

Mitsuhideā€™s betrayal was pretty obvious since the last episode with Nobunaga questioning his actions and again this episode.

Nobunagaā€™s bitch is fucking bad ass. Pulling those guns out of nowhere was hilarious but damn were those weapons sexy.[/details]

Yukimura parried a Giga Drill Breaker :nunchuck:
ā€¦and Oichi really really NEEDS TO GET LAID.

6 was awesome, yes it was.

Ep. 7 preview

Spoiler

Seems like its going towards Kotarouā€™s Gaiden Story w/ Date out of business for now. Only difference is that Matsunaga didnā€™t take him out of business himself. So now with the whole Matsunaga/Kotarou beef going on, expect the Miyoshi Death Trio. They must be on this episode.

+1 on the awesomeness of episode 6

ARE YA READY GAIS #6

Spoiler

Poor Tadakatsu got destroyed like that. Nouhime displaying her gun prowess was sweet, while the short battle between Tadakatsu/Yukimura was good too.

Iā€™m a bit surprised too that Matsunaga made his appearance. I wonder if heā€™ll play a bit part of the plot as well? Next episode might give us hints about that, but it doesnā€™t seem like weā€™ll be seeing Hanbei or Hideyoshi anytime soon

OKAY, LOTS OF LUCK

[details=Spoiler] Giant BROWN GUNDAM! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It was really funny when Honda just threw Sanada out of the way. It was also funny when Scythe guy was making his weird noises when fighting.

[/details]

How many episodes are there going to be of this show?

13 episodes, apparently.

Also

About Mitsuhide/scythe guy

Spoiler

The guy is more crazier than what you think. Once he goes into his darkness mode, weā€™ll probably see him slashing his own forces like mad and having that constant creepy laugh. Iā€™m expecting theyā€™ll show it up in the anime when Mitsuhide leaves Odaā€™s side.

Basara 7 Raw

[details=Spoiler]Iā€™m not too clear on this but is it true that Kojuurou is actually supposed to be stronger than Masamune? Heā€™s definitely the smarter fighter taking advantage of his blind spot like that. Figured the shinigami trio would show up, sick intro.

Overall, Iā€™m glad weā€™re starting to see some action from Kojuurou.[/details]
