moonwiseLet's post about something FUN!
Okay. After last ep's downer, this one was hysterical. Gangsta samurai with his own rap soundtrack? Jin getting pickled? Fuu obsesses over her boobs yet again? A Trigun moment wherein two very, very talented men show off their skillz with massive hangovers?
A quote for the ages? "All men are stupid, so be sure to dominate them from the beginning."
A LOWRIDER PIMPED-OUT PALANQUIN? BAHAHAHAHA! (so you wanna be a playa, but your ride ain't fly? you got to pimp my riiiiiide)
Plus, a little bit of Jin-history to keep us interested! And whoooo he is HOT. And who else loved that expression on Mugen's face at the end when Jin's laying down the smack?
This series gets better and better.

Jin sort of revealed that he defeated his sensei during the chess match with the old mafioso in episode 4, remember when the old guy asks Jin if he ever beat his sensei with the sword and Jin refuses to comment on it. :) (I took that as a yes and the reason why Jin was roninized.)
I loved Fuu's face when the fruit pieces fall down on her pigtails and she sighs with relief, and then it's revealed that her pigtails were cut too! :D Poor Fuu!
It's lovely to see the way sword fights are animated. It's said that the light from a good sword (with pure metal) is blue, not white and that's how they've animated the sword fights. They haven't put much detail into it, you just see the quick swing and the flash of light. Much better way of animating it than slow and showing the blade itself, which is unrealistic (and the way they did it in Peacemaker).
