Hasebe and the tantous have a lot too, but the others like Yoshiyuki and uchigatanas get really less screentime. I think it makes sense because they have to have some focus. Aimlessly switching through a bunch of characters over a 30-minute period would've be disasterous, lol. As a Gokotai fan, I was pretty disappointed to see him get only one line, but I could accept why he couldn't get much more.

The next episode is apparently about Doudanuki and Tsurumaru's arrival (Midare, Aizen, and Akita will also appear)... so I think that what they're going to do is have Yams and Cashews as overarching protagonists, but individual episodes will star different sword(s). Maybe focusing on each as they arrive? Yeah I will have to hope for that. By all means, I don't hate Yasuasada or Kashuu at all it's just kinda sad in my part because I'm more interested in interactions than their past. I understand that the creators wanted to have a certain plot in the anime so focusing on a few character will be more ideal and coherent. I prefer to see many characters just interact and fight for their saniwa, but not really having any plot. I guess the plot are for the viewers who didn't really play the game and came in for the anime not characters. I prefer not having plot and seeing many characters just interacting and I am not saying it is easy to make either. It could be a mess very quickly with many characters but I think it is possible to make a good show out of it. In the end it just depends on preferences I guess. I am not estatic with the first ep and whole concept but I am more than happy to see my best boy, Hasebe, and many other swords being there and animated XDDD
