Onihei

I just picked this up last week and wish I had done so sooner. It really slipped under my radar mainly because it's on Amazon.

I'm guessing the threads are usually dead, though?

Even though it wouldn't be extremely popular, it'd probably have more viewers if it was on Crunchyroll so that the simulcast would get ripped on HS.

It's a shame because the women on the show are quite hot. Onihei should give Omasa the dick. Must be hard for a woman like that to get only fucked once every 10 years.

Favorite show of the season.

This has to be the most underrated show of the season. A real hidden gem. It's just a shame it didn't have a bigger budget, but I guess samurai shows just don't sell very well.

>season 2 never

Is Onihei's wife a slut?

>>155429650
No, she is a pure girl who was deceived by a man.
She always had the intention of being loyal.

I really like the voice acting, usually I don't really notice it a lot but Onihei does a great job.

>>155429466
I was always under the impression that the kind of audience in Japan that likes samurai shows are older folks who would much rather watch the older live-action adaptations.

>>155429466
It was blatant Korea pandering, but it was still worth watching.

>>155430448
What does that even mean? It's a good show that managed to actually look decent with rather poor animation.

God fucking dammit, Omasa deserves to be happy ;_;

Really makes you think

I waited for 3 months for Heizo's son to stop being useless, but he stayed true to himself until the end.

What's your favorite episode? Mine's the one with the perfume assassin who got killed by the inn owner,

>>155436176
The one about the chubby guy who was fucking things up and wasting money on prostitutes. The punchline about his dad who told him to live virtuous life was pretty good.

That was a good ride

Dead as fuck, but I had fun.

What a depressing episode. I'll miss this show.

>>155445065
It wasn't depressing until the end. This could've ended on a sad yet hopeful note but no, epidemic of all things..

This show was great. Man, we need more like this.
On an unrelated note
>those subs this episode
>behind a double paywall (Prime + Anime Strike)
Fuck Amazon.

I need more Ojun.

>>155445963
I honestly thought he was pretending to be dead and about to live under a new name or something.

>>155442160
Needs the background

>>155436176
Either the first episode or the one where Heizo trolled everyone while on vacation.

>>155427807
Onihei may be my favorite of anime of the winter season. Pretty solid 8.5/10. Heizo is a great husbu too. But poor Omasa. She saves her long lost boyfriend just to have him to from an epidemic like a few months later. The episode that hit me the hardest was when the whole family committed suicide

Apparently, in the original, Heizo cuts off Matataro's arms to make sure he never becomes a bandit again, and Omasa leaves with him

>>155427807
I enjoyed this show's use of tragedy. The sad endings never felt like they were forced on me just to evoke an emotional response, but were presented with a real sense of melancholy and "that's just how it is".

Figures that I find out about this show AFTER it has ended.

>>155453064
Amazon exclusive cursed the show. Thankfully I try everything.

Really? I've been liking the show, but certain episodes I felt were a little off. In particular the one with the family committing suicide. The son's suicide was well done, with everything shown in the episode up to that point. The parents speaking so proudly about his job, confiding in ojii-san that he couldn't take working there, and then being set up right after that.

That plus the parents grieving would've been perfectly good motivation for ojii-san to rob the shop owner. It would've been great. Instead both parents follow right after, like two or three scenes after the son's death. It just struck me as overkill, like slightly ridiculous. Of course something like that could happen, but for a fictional show I thought they were just dumping on the tragedy when they didn't need to.

Might as well get my ass move and watch this episode since a thread is around.

>>155459280
>Overkill
There son was who they lived for and not to mention in they where Japs. They'llkill themselves over anything even something like wearing mismatched sandals.

Reminds me of some episode of a live-action jidaigeki I watched where wealthy merchants are coerced into killing their daughters and then themselves, because the girls were impregnated via sexual assault.

Aint that some shit, thought the spoilerish post was for the fight. Im extra sad now.Well, they banged at least.

>>155461263
Omasa knows how to avoid rape.
She learned the hard way.

>>155461243
I loved this guy's character design.
He was a little prick and everything about him from his clothes to his hair and goatee screamed "self-entitled douche". Perfect.

>>155464043
Suitable voice too, whoever casted this dude did a good job.

>>155450518
Aye, I had expected the show to end on a hopeful note, seeing how we had a good mix of tragedy and happy episode. Then again, that's just how thing was back then.
>>155458822
I've no doubt it didn't do well in the west but how is the sales in Japan?

>>155464844
Isn't it just book promotion?

>>155466690
Is there a new book? I thought the original property has been around for like 40 years or something and has a shitton of live action shows.

>>155466830
Maybe it just didn't have an anime yet.

I downloaded the first episode but never got around to wathing it, gonna start now. What am I in for?

>>155467431
If it meant she could finally be happy, I'd wingman for you.
Then I'd hit up the brothel with Usagi.

>>155466690
The books has been out for generation, this is probably just an adaption for the modern age.
>>155466830
No way there's a new book, the writer specifically stated in his will that no one is to make any new story.

Maybe its for the younger generation?

Great show.

Subs were garbage, animation was lackluster, but the stories were good and they were super successful in evoking the feel of 70s-ish era Jidaigeki and Chanbara. Really enjoyable. Made me super nostalgic for Zatoichi, Lady Snowblood, Lone Wolf and Cub, Samurai Executioner, and all those other great period piece manga, films and TV shows I consumed so heavily years ago.

>>155443024

I don't really like episodic shows so that was the major flaw for me.

>>155470900
Honestly, not everything has to have some grand overarching plot.

>>155461052
>>155443024
>>155470646
These three were my favorite episodes. Onihei and ACCA made Tuesdays so damn comfy. Gonna miss the ED.

>>155471028
It doesn't have to, and I enjoy monster of the week type shows, but episodic series with only 13 episodes feel like each episode is a different 4-koma manga. Having literally no overarching plot other than "they work for the crime & arson squad" feels like there was no point watching.

>>155471072
I can't stand ACCA, it just makes me constantly want to eat toast and sweets.

>>155471072
In a relatively underwhelming season, those two really brought my mood up.
Onihei will most likely be forgotten in a year's time by the community at large, but I think some of the episodes will stick with me for a long time to come.

>>155471298
>underwhelming season
I don't know how you can say this unironically. What did you watch?

>>155471322
I usually watch about 12-13 shows to completion - this season I only stuck with 5.
ACCA, Onihei, Maidragon, Konosuba and Rakugo
I will admit to not having watched LWA and Youjou Senki but there were a lot of things that didn't hold my attention/were plain bad.

>>155471768
>season with good comedy
>watch only 2 of them
>didn't watch Kemono Friends
I think you just don't like fun.

>>155471840
I've been in the game for a long time. Comedy has to do a lot more to stand out for me.
Kemono friends was utter shit for the 2 episodes I gave it. Everyone who is a fan says 'wait until episode 4', which I might have done if it hadn't been so hard to look at.
Also, if you're the type who found Himouto Dropout-San, our humor styles really don't mesh.

>>155471993
>Kemono friends was utter shit for the 2 episodes I gave it.
I dropped it after episode 1 for the first 3-4 weeks. Watch the next 2 episodes and you'll like it. Gabriel wasn't so bad and was decently funny even if it caused a bunch of shitposting. Why didn't you watch Demi-chan?

>>155471993
>2 episodes
You should atleast try until episode four, episode three is when most people start to get hooked on it.

>>155472106
Demi-chan was okay, it just didn't inspire me to go to the finish. Maidragon already had my slow, supernatural slice-of-life comedy needs itched.

>>155471298
>Onihei will most likely be forgotten in a year's time by the community at large

If only one of them had gone for her then her life wouldn't have ended up that way. But her breasts grew quite a bit during that time.

any middle-aged Jap knows Onihei if not from the book then at least from the live-action series

young'uns are all interested in isekai shit these days

>>155471167
It's a style like for example "Law & order" or CSI, protagonist and people around him are just props in other people's stories.

And her at her father too, it's just how she show love.
>>155478008
It's the same with Otomatsu, if Heizo was at home when he came to ask for help his life would've been quite different. Heizo would probably get a better son.
