I’m just so behind.
Finished up ep. 09
Well now, throughout the series, Yoshihiko Tokugawa seemed like the ‘bad’ guy in this, though in this episode, we find out, though his methods are not necessarily the correct actions to take, his reasoning is actually kind of sound.
At this point, I’m hard pressed to actually call him a ‘bad’ guy, kind of twisted and power hungry, but not really the main bad guy here, at this point at least.
Me, too. Watched 08 and 09 last night.
Another naked girl falls from the sky. Also named Yagyû.
But this one is not a bimbo like a Jûbei; more like an evil succubus.
“It’s being tucked in!”
Samurai Girls, Ep 10, is live at ANO
Ep 10
Hah! Evil minions should know better than to try to imprison the head of the Discipline Committee on their home turf! And the Power of Love does increase the general-samurai bond.
The http://www.mania.com/samurai-girls-episode-10_article_126793.html is positive, and has spoilers.

Update: (Fri, 12/17) Summary of Episode 11 is up http://www.theanimenetwork.com/component/option,com_myblog/Itemid,0/show,The-Last-Kiss-Samurai-Girls-Season-Finale.html/
Pfft!
I understand this is a stylized series, but come on.
Making the entire end epic battle not colored? Really?!?
Did they run out of funding?.. Or did they just get lazy?
The ED for this episode is a bit like the ED for Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
Samurai Girls is Coming to VOD on 1/6/11.
Are the opening and ED available anywhere individually?
They really needed to fire that inker. The guy keeps spilling ink over all the good scenes. :lol:
Cover art for the DVD’s added. Blu-ray should be pretty much the same. Maybe one less disc.
-lol-
I was just going to post this as soon as I got back from putting my laundry in the dryer.
Cover looks nice enough, don’t know if I’m going to get it though.
I was seriously disappointed with the end of it.
Maybe the dub will really shine, and in that case, I’d have no choice but to get it.
Blu-ray covers added. They are cropped differently and back is missing the girl with the eye-patch I seem to have forgotten the name of .
Samurai Girls, Ep 1 (Dub), is live at ANO
I think this dub will be quite good. The voices seem to match fairly well.
Sure, the ink spot censoring is now gone, and that makes things a bit… clearer… but that’s irrelevant here. 
Yeah, all in all, it wasn’t too bad.
They tripped up on pronounciations a few times, pronouncing it one way, then changing it a couple lines later.
But pretty good overall.
-lol-
I noticed, that the cast is under aliases, and a few are variations of Looney Toons references.
Jubei Yagyu - Marie LeBlanc
Muneakira Yagyu - Ben Wabal
Yukimura Sanada - Mina Jetoi
Sen Tokugawa - Tabitha Hickey
Matabei Goto - Eileen Dover
Hanzo Hattori - Ophelia Cox
Narration - Hassan Chop
I especially like the Hassan Chop alias, that amuses me probably more than it should.
I just knew they’d have Hilary Haag as Yukimura Sanada!
She fits that type of character pretty well.
I agree, in fact, I even mentioned that to Haissan once, but he never really said anything about it.
They read like 70s porn star aliases!
I know who all of them are except Hassan Chop. I know the voice ,but the name escapes me.
