I hadn't seen this, but someone PLEASE explain why on all the promo shots I'm seeing what looks like a dude in a dress

I'm assuming you're talking about that guy with the butterfly mask, right? Even I don't know!

And according to my wikipedia research, not only does he look freaky, but he can apparently eat people....

...with his hands.

Chouno... he's the first main boss guy in the series.... kinda like how Aoshi was the first main boss that Kenshin faced.

He looked pretty much like a pansy in the manga too, but has enough character development to give him personality. But yeah, that whole Butterfly-look made him look like a weakling. Wait until you see him in his thong!

The bystanders certainly describe my reaction

After watching the first 4 episodes, I still find this series a pretty generic shonen action series. BUT, there's one reason I'm still watching this, and that's Tokiko. Given the very Bleach-esque introduction, Tokiko could have easily fallen to "once badass girl to horrifically weak and becoming all damsel-in-distress" (I'm looking at you, Rukia...UGH

), but episode 3 proved she can still fight at a same potential as Kazuki despite the parasite that's embedded into her. I mean, I am REALLY glad she's still able to fight along side with him, and I hope this last for the rest of the series.

And then there's her Valkyrie Skirt.....oh man!!!

I rank hers as one of the most kinky weapons ever made!

Having read the manga back then when it seemed like all hope was lost of this getting an anime, I'm happy to see a nice adaption.

no doubt the anime looks waaay better than the manga...

@ otohiko-kun that butterfly dude pic just freaks me out

i find it a bit weird and hard to believe that nobuhiro watsuki actually created this... i still think his work in rurouni kenshin is the best...
