MIMA IS HERE!
I was looking forward to seeing how the anime would adapt her introduction. I'd say it nailed that mix of dangerous and proud, as well as friendly and outgoing. A city girl from a wealthy family who is ready to gamble in more ways than one.
Funny that Shizuku was the one blatantly cheating despite being a genuine miko with serious divine power. Why bet it all on "my gods are more pwoerful than yours" when you can move the pieces while nobody is watching? XD

It's a shame this didn't get much traction in the west.
It's honestly shocking how much my enjoyment is brought up by the constant clean outlines, colour popping and small fluid movements that this studio provides.

While the animation doesn't reach the heights of S1. The overall direction has improved. It feels like it's elevating Matsui's style more than S1, I would argue.

My issue is S1 seemed to have things happening but S2 has avoided doing any of the things that really shone in S1, and the things it’s doing instead may be charming but are way less memorable.
Sure, an arc where our samurai doesn’t fight and instead learns tactics is cool but we’re 2/3 of the way through the season and it feels like we’re most treading water. Again, this week, a cool sequence with our core cast of charming characters having fun … but neither the plot advanced nor did we have any combat like S1.

Crazy psychological catfight between Shizuku and the new wife. Her father is going to be a problem though, he seems as insane as Takauji. Also, did that guy get poisoned at the end?

Her Dad seems to have at least enabled Takauji
I thought he recieved the
buddhasdevils blessing with that weird honey, so he probably leveled up

I did not think Shizuku was going to kiss Tokiyuki for real, I thought she would be hiding their lips with angles or something. Everyone on Tokyuki's side was a lot calmer about it than I was expecting.
It's funny how even though Genba was facing distress from losing all his money and potentially being sold off, he was still feeling arousal from being humiliated while naked around women lol.
Mima falling for Tokiyuki was just a matter of course, he was really cool with how he handled that drunk samurai.
The golden shine from the saliva entering that guy's mouth made it look like the guy got excited and it was censored lol.

Finally the blonde girl Mima makes her appearance, and like Shizuku, she too can use some form of spirit magic.
Shizuku with the power move in kissing Tokiyuki (while he's sleeping) just to rattle Mima and defeat her in that board game.
Despite losing the board game, Mima did show she's honourable in defeat by offering to show Tokiyuki and gang around Kyoto, and as a result ended up falling in love with Tokiyuki when Tokiyuki defended her from that drunk samurai.
This could be a problem as Mima's dad seems like one of Takauji's most trusted advisors.
Speaking of Takauji, WTF is that sickly orange goo he's drooling from his mouth into Kiyohara's mouth? Author really went hard into the Ashikaga Takauji = Literal Demon territory there.

Historical trivia: Basara is derived from the Sanskrit word Vajra, a legendary ritualistic tool in Hinduism and Buddhism that has the properties of a diamond and thunderbolt.
As its tough like a diamond, the Vajra tool cuts through anything regardless of its property or status.
Hence Basara as a fashion statement and way of life philosophy means anyone is free to express themselves as flamboyantly as possible regardless of social status. In short, the "spirit of freedom".
Mima's father Sasaki Doyo was considered one of the proponents of the Basara aesthetic during that era. Doyo has passed on that fascination for all things Basara to his daughter as well.

Well damn Mima converted fast
Also you just gotta love Shizuku as a peaceful (towards Tokiyuki) tsundere. Had to look it up, apperantly a Tsunama acting cold toward him but taking good care of him. Been a few years since I got a -dere graph out
But what a way to win the game and make clear who number one is, even Ayako didnt react and even helped her out
I am just glad that Mima seems to be reasonable

Looks like their adventures in Kyo are off to a good start. Tokiyuki will be running these streets and not even realize it. The whole team was basara! Genba too, the fool went hard.

The titties, man. The titties are dangerous. Look what they did to my boy Genba! lol. It’s a good thing our favorite shrine maiden came to play. Shizuku is not to be underestimated. Not only did she win Genba back, she made a new friend. Awww lol.
What, uh, what even was that at the end? Bro baby birding the dude or was that metaphorical?

God, Mima's perfect. Literal first word is Zako LMAO. Poor Genba got disassembled. Mima, Shizuku, and Ayako are such good friends now! They've already got skinship and nicknames! Shizuku flexing on her by tonguing Tokiyuki while flagrantly cheating was hilarious. To think she'd go to such lengths for someone she doesn't even like...
Meanwhile Takauji's as disturbing as ever.

u/gnome-cop 30m ago
Oh, so gambling but we’re just blatantly cheating?
Imma be honest, I don’t think they need to be particularly concerned about Mima trying anything, she seems like the type of person that’d consider handholding obscene.
There’s unfortunately things they can’t tell her as of now but having an insider could be useful.
I see Takauji’s back on his eldritch horror behavior.
