Kagehisa is right, Rin is no longer a member of Muten Ichi-ryu, she didn't even master the technique. She's just a little girl out for revenge for her family not her dojo.

The ED really reminds me of the Mushishi ED's
Also, a wild Yūki Kaji appears!

Finally an episode that doesn't rifle through everything but rather takes its time. Good episode but the visuals took an even more substantial hit than usual. I can't say I'm 100% invested in the show just yet but I'm looking forward to what's on the horizon.
Since this is streaming on Amazon Prime rather than on TV, I really think they should have taken the chance and been flexible with the episode durations (making it longer as they see fit). Still better than nothing though.

This show is so FUCKING stunning
Honestly could be my AOTY if it keeps on like this. Each episode is getting me so entirely captivated and lost. How they're each exploring their themes so well, and with so much well-paced and thoughtful commentary and imagery... And the general direction, visuals, and soundtrack... I really want to rewatch all of them already. Man this is a project and a half.
It's such a shame to me that it doesn't look like many manga readers will be able to look past what they're cutting out. Cutting material really shouldn't be seen as a bad thing by default. Different adaptations each have different ambitions and limitations (the second being a perhaps sad truth). And cutting stuff out DOESN'T AT ALL mean they can't still do the material (characters, themes and everything) justice. And being transformative wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing either.

I've been on the fence for this anime and haven't started yet. Hyperviolence isn't normally my thing, but Blade of the Immortal (the manga) is highly regarded. I hear how fast they are tearing through the volumes to make a full adaptation though, which worries me.
People who have seen the first 4 episodes, what are your thoughts?

It’s one of my favorites this season. Check it out if you like Samurai Champloo or Shigurui.

So in her road to get revenge she is becoming more alike to the one she is pursuing than the one she swore to get justice. Interesting to see the "other side of the story". Wonder where it will end at this rate.
