Season Two Ep 10 stills



Season Two Ep 10 stills are out, and they are gorgeous! Ranmaru fans will be pleased, as too Ginji fans, because Ginji is drawn closer to his S1 look this time! We also have our yuki-onna coming to the North and a new character (who might be an assassin by the look of it). Let's get started!

First, I want to copy what I belatedly wrote in Ep 9 review here about Ranmaru and Ginji:


I skim-read the intermission between Ranmaru and Ginji, where Ranmaru again talked to Ginji about Aoi (Ranmaru can be such a noisy brother, but that's how he shows that he cares for his little brother Ginji, I guess). Anyway, Ranmaru asked how were things with Aoi, did Ginji still care for the girl? Ranmaru also commented how Aoi never talked about Ōdanna-sama, hence the Komainu wondered if she actually liked the Master at all. Ginji responded by telling how disturbed Aoi was when she realised that Ōdanna-sama might not be coming back to Tenjin-ya (back in Vol 7 Ch 1). Ginji then had a flashback about how Ōdanna-sama asked for his help when the Master decided to help Aoi. Ginji's flashback included the fact about the 'destiny-changing food' that Aoi ate... hence this week we might have a bit revelation there, and a bit more of Konishi Katsuyuki's voicing Ōdanna-sama during Ginji's flashback!

So, we have our gorgeous boys having a heart to heart conversation, and unexpectedly, Ranmaru looks pensive! Aww... he can be such a softie! However, Ginji looks pretty serious here, and he looks more like his S1 visual now. That's great, I like him drawn this way!



Next, we have a masked woman, but since she is also in the OP, and Kasuga seems to be okay with her in the OP, this masked woman should be okay then?





Then we have Kasuga surprised of something... is Kiyo finally saying something nice or romantic here?



and Aoi in her super cute winter outfit looking at the falling snow... (can I have that coat please?)




And then our O-Ryō's coming for a visit! Is that because the North wants to have a night cruise restaurant like the Nighthawk onboard the Seikamaru (Vol 7 Ch 1) of Tenjin-ya?




At any rate, it's nice to see Aoi, Kasuga and O-Ryō together again. We just need Shizuna-chan here and the girl's night out is upon us!




Are you guys excited for Ep 10? Two more episodes after this week... time flies!

This is so exciting! Thank you for posting the stills- Ranmaru is just becoming more and more irresistible the more the season plays out! Episode 10 seems like a happier episode and am absolutely looking forward to this Thursday!

The animation seems to just improve the more the episodes are played. Can we all agree the S2E1-4 was a horrible fever dream??

If I don't get some Odanna-sama soon I'm switching loyalties to Ranmaru!

IKR, Ranmaru is HOT!!!

I am sooo annoyed that E1-4 are badly animated! Like, we have Ōdanna-sama in Eps 1-3, fer cryin' out loud! Did the animators hate Ōdanna-sama or something?!

I do hope for Ginji's flashback about Ōdanna-sama's request to him... and I hope we have a beautifully animated Ōdanna-sama, even just for 5 seconds!

Omg yesss I’m so excited for Ep 10 too!
I’m especially hyped at the possibility to hear more of Ōdanna’s voice.

And the Ranmaru + Ginji moment?? I'm very much looking forward to it. My poor Ginji and his unrequited love. Them having a boys talk about love and all is so cute. Also totally agree his artstyle this episode looks good but i still wish his art was back to s1, like Odanna's poofy hair (I miss season 1 artstyle) but I'm happy with the fact we got a season 2.

And omg Kasuga and O-Ryō! The girls are together again (TnT) so happy.

I cant belive only two episodes left and there's still so much unanswered and no Odanna. There has to be a part 2!

Hi Anon, I'm so looking forward to hearing Ōdanna-sama's voice again, even for just a few seconds! But I'm also scared, I really hope that - if we get his visual - it will be well-animated... cos the scars from Ep 1-3 bad visuals are still etched in my memory...

But yes, we will have one boys talk and one girls' talk in Ep 10! So excited!

And yes two more episodes left after this week... which means we need to start begging for Gonzo and Kadokawa again for Season 3 (or at least S2 Cour 2)!

Iyaa yo (*sticks tongue out*)! I can stay loyal....for a little while longer!!

I think we need to start a petition get the rest of KnY animated soon and not have to wait five years!
Icha said…
As I said, babe, I'm MORE THAN happy to take Ōdanna-sama for me, muahahahahaha! Of course, priority is for Aoi, but I can wait!
Icha said…
OMG, please DO! Someone said that s/he/they wanted to start a petition for the novel translation to English. I don't see why we cannot add/combine it with a petition for Cour 2 or Season 3!
