This lad is stone fucking cold.

Why doesn't he just end whatever they have and end her suffering.

>>137666144
easily a contender for AOTY

cant think of a single anime for some time thats similar

>>137666431
he is dealing with repressed homolust

>>137666431
it's clear he's fond of her, but at the same time he's horribly conflicted because his master has a thing for her (remember they're seeing each other behind his back)

Anyone familiar with the manga know if Kikuhiko is Yūrakutei's son? The guy being a frequent john and him owing a huge debt to his mother would point to this IMO

>>137666494
this is what happens when you literally date a whore

Major cutie.

>>137666494
Is Miyokichi Yakumo's mistress and 'dating' Kiku?

>>137666861
Miyokichi is a geisha (aka a whore). It's heavily implied Yakumo is her client

>>137666466
>easily a contender for AOTY

according to RC, alot of the content this episode (and the anime thusfar) has been original content. that's really fucking impressive, from writing/series composition standpoint and direction standpoint. add to that the AAA++ voice cast, deen is pulling all the stops for this production

That scene is right after he met with he met with his master, who also likes her. I think he felt guilty after that and tried to stay away.

Bon likes her (maybe not romantically) even though he doesn't frequently show it. It's just that he puts his career first and he's not aware just how much his actions hurt Miyukichi.


>>137666861
Arguable. Could be that the master is just one of her many clients and/or he believes that she's his mistress (since he might feel like she owes him for giving her a job after the war).

One thing is for certain, Miyokichi doesn't return his feelings because she's fixated on Bon.

>>137666973
>>137667186
Can you clarify what a client is, as I understand geisha aren't exactly hookers but it's not a stretch for them to go beyond?

>>137667227
they're whores dude

>>137667227
They're closer to entertainers or escorts than prostitutes. They give company, conversation, and entertainment (they need to know how to play an instrument and dance) to any men who pays for it. By being a client of a geisha, it means you're her patron. You come to a shop to see her and you may provide her with gifts.

They may flirt with you but they're always the one in charge. Some geisha did sell sex back then, but it would be looked down upon in high-class establishments.

For hookers in that time period, you go for courtesans found in pleasure quarters.

Not going to lie. Neglecting is hot.

>Absolutely the best anime this season
No, thats Detective Conan. Also better Megumi Hayashibara role there.

>>137668480
Right all the way. Would love to also put a peal necklace on her, if you know what I mean.
Left looks like she's trying too hard.

>>137668521
>Detective Conan
Doesn't count. It's been running for two decades now.

>>137668480
Neither, spend time with Sukeroku.

I keep thinking Miyokichi is going to walk in on Bon and Sukeroku drunk and jerking each other off

>>137668763
would you like a doujin of it made?

Nope.

>Promise, okay?
>Bye.

Why is she still here? Just to suffer?

>>137668589
Yeah, that hairstyle too. 50s housewife is fucking underrated.

>>137668621
No having group sex with Sukeroku, way to disappoint him.

Why does Bon address himself as atashi anyway?

Is it because he was a "dancer" back in the day?

>>137669454
>Why is she still here? Just to suffer?
You how how you still hope for a S2 of a certain anime you love even though you know that it'll probably never happen?
And even though it hurts just thinking about it, you still hold on?
You grasp at every pachinko release, every "important" announcement, every manga or game spin-off, as signs that it'll come back to you. But every time, it falls short of your expectations - it lets you down. Somehow though, you still can't let it go, as if that faint glimmer of hope is what keeps you feeling alive. Because all you want is to have that S2.

Yeah, that's how Miyokichi feels toward an anime called Kikuhiko.

>shack up with a bitch because you're probably going to die before making it home

Seriously, the right whispers and Yakumo could have had that bitch disappeared but he was enslaved to that pussy.

So they have Megumi? I guess I'll try watching it then. Skipped it because didn't feel like watching 40 minutes ep 1 in January. Plus every time I see non-moe anime I'm afraid it's gonna be edgy seinen.

Being Miyokichi is suffering.
I must say, this anime has really been the surprise of the season for me.
I've ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

>>137670051
I think he's talking about Haruhi S3.

Is Kiku's bro (can't remember his name) going to cuck him with Miyokichi?

>>137670137
How can it even be described as cucking, when he barely acknowledges her existence?

Bon loves her not, he is married to his job.

>>137670137
No, she's going cuck him with Sukeroku.

>>137670208
Literally who I'm talking about.
>>137670199
What are you talking about?
It's fairly obvious that he has feelings for her. He just deems the job more important right now, as it's really the last job he's capable of doing.

>>137670070
Yeah, Megumi is a major character in the show. She also sang the OP and it's favorite this season.

It's definitely not edgy, and you will come to care about the characters as the episodes go on. Get ready for a long ass flash back though. We're still at it and will be until ep 10, maybe.

>>137670293
Isn't the show mainly about his flashback?
I thought we were going to be in the flashback until the end.

>>137666144
Miyo's voice is hot. Her seiyuu sings the OP too.

>>137670331
It's a huge part of it, but the manga does go back to the present day. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we do stick to the flashbacks until the last ep.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind as long as we get a season two and we see the whole thing get adapted.

>>137670396
I don't wanna go back to the other characters.
I love young Kiku, Sukeroku and Miyokichi so much ;_;

>>137669723
He speaks the Edo dialect.

>>137669723
From what I've read, atashi is used as a cute, feminine version of watashi. Mostly girls use it, and also gay men to stress their femininity.

The way I see it, it could be any or all of these things:
- Kikuhiko was raised by and surrounded with women in his childhood. Could be that he picked it up and never let go of the habit.
- He's pretty feminine and he may be gay. Maybe he finds it more comfortable saying atashi
- This anon >>137670470. It's the dialect used to perform rakugo. Atashi was used by both men and women in that dialect back then.
