Kind of mundane compared to the first episode, but still good. Outside of the music, style took a back seat to storytelling - which is fine - but, it definitely lacked some of the "punch" of the first episode.

I wonder how the story will develop. Will it be little more than our trio's adventures as they search for the samurai that "smells of sunflowers", or will there be a deeper story that'll evolve over time? Will it be like Cowboy Bebop, advancing the story only as necessary to drive character development?

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
