Episode 14 –
Warning: Spoiler!Just when I thought the Shinsengumi was getting it together in the first part of the episode, they end up looking like thugs in the second part of the episode. Those summer uniforms! I know Sogo was going for a “rocker” look, but it didn’t quite work. Funny though that everyone except the designer and Hijikata was wearing them. And it was nice to see Kagura make a friend. And she ends up making pickled seaweed popular too!
It the third part of the show, they had a cooking segment and it was funny to see Shinpachi dressed as a surgeon and Gin in a frilly pink apron. Kagura destroys the kitchen and although Gin is making a rice omelet, it turns into a cold noodle dish. He goes back to making the omelet, but Kagura ate all the rice. However, Otae saves the day or maybe not, when she produces her own rice omelet. Her burnt eggs again! And I think she could rival Natsuki in Dawning Blue for the Master Carbonizer title!
I enjoyed Kagura's and Sadaharu's little dance in the beginning and I also like the new ending. I saw that Sogo was making straw dolls. Made me think of Hell Girl. It suits him!
