Bamboo Blade (Tama-chan)
Screencaps

“Sushi and Fried Katsu”

Summary: Ishibashi Kenzaburo is so impressed with Tama-chan, he asks her for a match. Afterwards, Ishibashi still treats Kojirou to sushi but the promised prize isn’t what he lead him to believe.

Finally! A proper showdown. Too bad more of the show doesn’t have this kind of action.

I’m more curious than ever about Tama-chan’s mother. She was obviously a formidable woman. She taught Tama-chan after all. There’s also the fact she uses the most aggressive stance (ascension) in kendo.

Noteworthy humor:
- Saya’s little brother, “Oh noes! her @$$ is gonna crush my DS! Get off! Get! Off!”
- Tama-chan trying to insert a VHD in a CD player.
- Kojirou hi-fives a confused Danjuuro

Producers did a good job translating the manga to anime format. The jokes are snappier, overhauled the character designs, and show off some nice camera work. Praise the clever storyboarding. Expect some good laughs from this one. (more…)
