Since I can't really come on chat right now, I'll leave my thoughts in a reply to your comment XD.

I honestly didn't see the beginning as a build up for the festival. While it had that creepy vibe about it already, I mostly wanted to use to give Kenshin some much needed character development. The "Demon Swordsman" himself, the battle maniac, settles down, every if only for a little period of time. I used it as a joke, but Kenshin was honest when asked by Laura what he does in his free time "fight and train". Plus, the spiral of killing around Kenshin continued, which showed once again that wherever he goes, shit goes down. That was the most terrifying part for him, the fact that he won't ever be able to enjoy spending some time with a nice, cute girl, in a nice, quiet village. The introductions of the random people in the village was mainly to increase the shock Kenshin will have when he sees the festival.

By the way, I was surprised you didn't point out anything about Kenshin thinking the festival will be an orgy XD. But honestly, I would've thought the same, I mean, Laura is so eager to have a partner for the festival and when they go to the festival, there's no food, music or anything like that.

Lastly, I'm glad you weren't creeped out. I don't tend to get into detail, since the gore of a series doesn't make it more mature. Using stuff that's considered "gory" yeah, definitely brings maturity, but showing in great detail a scene doesn't. And I think seeing people kill each other like is pretty mature in itself.

Oh, yeah! I wanted to know what you think about some of the Daikokuten members! But anyway, I should have free time to chat around the same time as I did yesterday, so hopefully we can both get on at that time and discuss whatever needs to be discussed about the story!
