I swear, watching this anime, you’d get the feeling that they fight by talking in feudal Japan. I sat through 50 minutes of dialogue and bad word play in the form of Shichika Hachiretsu? Well, at least it wasn’t that bad.

Shichika is just too slow and/or dumb to put much emotion in his voice.

Agree that Shichika’s voice is on the bland side, but I think that may be a deliberate conveyance of his personality.

Wish Gonzo would’ve been able to do it, I love their “layered” style animated shows

Hi there, so whose voice Mai Nakahara-san’s doing? I sort of watched this anime because someone told me she has a role …but I cant seem to find her voice..

Anyway, curiosity got the better of me and I’ll continue watching this show.

If Shelf did this show they would had gone crazy with the art but they’re too busy with two other shows.

Honestly, I was a bit turned off by the lack of action, and snoozed through the incredibly long-ass dialogues (which really quite the opposite of the “let our swords do the talking” kind of delivery other shows do), but hey, it’s NisiOisiN’s style of story-telling, so yeah.

For a series of 12 episodes, giving this a shot won’t hurt. But they better try to do justice on the next episode by cutting off the talk time by half. :D

I’ll only be watching this for my Tamura Yukari fix. I don’t know if it’s just me, I feel that she had a role in much anything lately, so I sort of miss her ;_;

I really liked this 1st episode, but completely agree with you about Shichika’s terribly bland voice acting.

Will be a challenge to keep this interesting for its entire run – Sword of the Month is a bit too similar to the dreaded Monster of the Week oremise…..but I do have high hopes for the series.
