I think my second playthrough will probably take half as long or less than the first. I'm about to dig in to the Owl fight after I beat a few guys I skipped (headless 1 and 2, 7 spears).
Im pretty stoked for the inevitable DLC. Makes me wonder what they'll take from the response to the main game and try to improve, or at least add a lot more content that people liked i.e. more Genichiro style encounters
edit : Totally REKT the owl. Mortal Draw is fucking sick.

I finally beat Ginichiro after three days of trying. I was stubborn and kept trying to use Ichimonji Double in both of the first two phases then finally actually learned all his moves and just deflected him into oblivion. Third phase was giving me even more trouble, especially with the lightning being something of a pain in the ass (at best I was able to reflect maybe 50% of the time), then realized that if you stay glued to him and constantly slash he stops deflecting and just blocks everything and his posture drops like a rock. Ducked under the lightning. No problem. Ginichiro really forces you to learn to play the game right. Supposedly you can cheese his first two forms with Shadow Rush somewhat, but learning to win that fight for real feels worthwhile.
Gotta be the most trouble I've ever had with a From boss, felt really, really good to finally win that one.
Then I went straight to the Folding Screen Monkeys since I'd already done all of the rest of Senpou and won that fight in about a minute or so, lol.

Thanks! Yeah, he makes you look at yourself and say hey, do I wanna learn how to do this right or not. Speaks to good game design that he's monstrously difficult at first but obviously fair and inspires people to learn the game and ultimately like it even more, which seems to have been the case for a whole lot of players judging from the various reddits, forums, etc.
The True Monk is pissing me the fuck off.
His third form is just hard, the second form makes me want to break things around my house.
The spirits are cheap as fuck, and you can no longer cheese him with deathblows prior to the 1st phase starting.
Fuck the second form so hard.
And of course the divine confetti and snap seed merchant option is locked behind this piece of shit who confetti is uber useful against.

you can grapple one of the trees close to the entrance of the fight, and the illusions cant hit you. Thats how i did it the first time before knowing about the deathblows. He was a hard fight though, and i had to use a rice, divine, and a few other items to get the win.
Yeah.....Mortal draw is really good. I think shadow rush is the best move though (still have one skill to unlock though)

You can stealth deathblow her first two bars. Then the last form I use firecrackers.
I am stuck on Owl (Father)... any tips.
You actually cant DB the first bar after the recent update. Sucks. The second you can. But its almost impossible now. I've got it once.
Owl is all about strafing at mid range and using whirlwind slash when he does the 2 shiruken overhead slam
You can also use firecrackers when theres an opening.

Super weak.
The second Owl fight in the memory, its like I barely do any damage to him at all, nor can I get any openings.
Hm. He only took me 10 tries.
I basically run around until I see that double shiruken, then he gets garunteed mortal blade in the second phase.
Make sure you use no emblems on the first phase then own him with mortal blades on the second.

after an opening, attack and if he goes for the firecracker, you can back dodge it, then get another attack in during his recovery

You notice hes missing his left arm as well
I didnt notice that! Pretty cool.
Beat him. Now Im on the good old Sword Saint. Holy fuck, this might take me all week...
Now that I have unlimited divine confetti I'm going to go back and fuck up all the Sechimin (sic) and headless minibosses I skipped for lack of confetti.

I had to surf Youtube to find a way to get openings on that boss. IIRC, the trick is that you have to maintain half screen distance then walk towards him as he starts running towards you. The 'chicken' tactic forces the AI to use only certain moves that are guaranteed to miss if you dodge forward left or forward right (forward but away from the opponent), and you end up getting an opening for a free hit in the back. There is a lot more to learning the fight, but that tactic keeps things competitive long enough to pick up everything else.

Is it just me, or is Terror in this more of a consistent irritant than the usual From status ailments? Curse in DS was really annoying when it cut your health in half, but there aren't many enemies that use it and by the second half of the game it's easy to buy the dispel item. Frenzy in Bloodborne makes the Winter Lanterns a pain in the ass, but there's so few of them (and Frenzy doesn't kill you outright) that they never get to be too much of a problem.
Goddamn, though, it seems like enemies that inflict Terror and/or require Divine Confetti to damage them are all over the second half of Sekiro.
ook is dead-on about Terror, basically.

Yeah I was pretty thoroughly entertained by his similar willingness to dive off the edge. Tried that one a couple nights ago and I was surprised it hasn't been patched out yet.
Now I'm stuck on Isshin, dude makes Gen seem like a cakewalk.
Edit: beat him on my second try today, the umbrella works wonders.
Great game overall but I still prefer DS/BB.
