Hint #2: spoiler[In the first interpretation of the quote, the "weeds" likely refer both to the remaining sympathizers with and participants in the quelled Shimabara Rebellion raised years earlier by Christian peasants and disaffected ronin, as well as to the small group of basically areligious protagonists. ]

Hint #4: spoiler[In this scene, A is attending a potted sunflower. Sunflowers are a central motif in this series, since their "scent" is said to follow the person the protagonists quest after for the entire show.]

Unfortunately it looks like you answered just a few minutes after the quote expired! spoiler[It is indeed Kariya Kagetoki from Samurai Champloo, however he's speaking here to a retainer from the shogunate, who has come to hire him to assassinate Mugen and Jin.]

I'll give you the point regardless if no one objects, since you got the most important parts and were only a few minutes late.

I'm not going to quibble over four minutes. 12skippy21 gets the point and the turn if he/she wants it.

Here's one that I feel like it shouldn't take too long before someone gets it correctly.

Fan subs:

"God, it really troubles me when I see [Something] nowadays who think that this rough-looking style is cool. Speaking of which, my tie is nice and tight. A loose woman, a loose woman, as a loose woman! I don't want people to think of me as a loose woman after all!"

Correct.

(Sorry for the upcoming long PostScript)

P.S. I sincerely wish that this series is more popular here in the west in general. I personally consider it a gem and whenever I hear someone on here mention it outside of news articles relating to it, I feel good inside. Maybe that's partially due to, outside of the second season, the franchise hasn't been licensed for anything. [P.P.S. 40+ episodes (still ongoing) and a movie on a series that's centered all around dirty jokes? Damn, the creator sure is creative/has lots of ideas and the studio sure loves the source material]

The show has plenty of fans on this board (I recognised the source without hints but never got around to looking more deeply). But...

Quote:

Haha, if you've read his other manga you'd know they're pretty much all exactly the same.

Sub:

Character A: You're just lonely because your usual partner isn't by your side, right?

Character B: Shut up, A. Why is it that you want to put two guys together?

Character A: Not like you'd say no to two girls getting together.

Character B: There's no point if those two don't say that they like me.

Character A: Yeah, okay. As a biological creature, I guess that's more natural.
