I felt like this episode was a little too packed, though. From the perspective of a Touken Ranbu player, it's pretty straightforward because it's just a cute extension of the characters you already know. But even then, you can see that they made no attempt to ease into the story, which isn't really ideal. I believe that even a tie-in adaptation should at least try to establish its premise smoothly on its own.

I'm pretty sure that it won't feel this crowded into later episodes, but I feel like they should've held off on introducing some swords to avoid overload. Even though I was already well-acquainted with each character, it felt like a bit much to have them all introduced in a frenzy within the first 5 minutes.

But I got to see Ishikirimaru get adorably tired just from running for like 2 minutes, so it's all good :P
