I just finished watching this RAW and I am very excited! FINALLY EVERYONE THE PLOT IS THERE AND GETTING (HOPEFULLY) BETTER!
Here is my props and hate list:
PROPS:
-Saito for not killing Tabitha even though she was forced to do these actions upon Saito. (It is always a knight duty to kill off a betrayer if that betrayer excerts lethal force {in her case magic}) but Saito refused this due to stronger friendship and trust.

-The mirror that changed the person to who he or she wants to be (Malicorn for being a girl-->LOL LOL LOL). Too funny to see a party like that. Looked mostly ballroom harem type cause you do not even know if the guy is a guy or girl (The principal being Bishoujo girl--> LOL)

-Saito sleeping with Siesta and Louise in the same bed!
-Henrietta (only cause she was disguised) for stealing a kiss from Saito
-In caps: COLBERT SENSEI IS BACK!!!!!!!!! {Tear fall down} VERY HAPPY HE IS BACK BUT STILL NOT QUITE SURE HOW HE CAME BACK YET!
-Saito for kissing Louise in a forceful way due to the earlier misunderstanding!
-Tiffa being Saito!! LOL LOL LOL
HATED:
-Seems the Harem is still going on but this part of this anime.
-More misunderstanding and the Louise-Saito love not resolved but just trying to be.
-The bitch who used the bell to make all unconscious...WTH is that??? Some artifact but never really seen anything like it in this series and WTH is the ring of the water spirit???
WELL NOW I AM EXCITED FOR #8 FOR THE PLOT! SEE MAYBE WHEN SUBBED VERSION IS OUT. ^_^
Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me.

Great episode but Seista is beck to being a nuisance. Well the 1st 10 mins were pretty pointless but after that was pure comedy, romantic troubles & unexpected plot developments.

The scene when it was showing everyones transformations was hilarious (Tifa admires Saito) and I was quite shocked by the moment between Henrietta x Saito. Well Louise was as great as usual and I cracked up when Del interrupted their special moment.

But I wonder what explanation they would give to Colbert being alive because it is very different from what I've heard in the light novels (-_-)?

It was great episode with a great idea, i loved it but i was a bit iffy about Colbert returning from the dead.

And im a little annoyed that Louise forgave Saito so easily. I thought it was pretty clever how Sheffield used Saito and Henrietta almost kissing to manipulate her. Then they just through it out the window by having her wake up so easily.

The ball room thing was pretty funny. Henrietta and Tiffania disguise caught me surprise.

I think that was the best episode of this season until now, but it leaves two questions in my head.

- How did Colbert come back to life?
- Is Henrietta working with the enemy or is she really interested in Saito?

Didn't Kirche lie and say Colbert was dead in the light novels?
hurray for a reasonable amount of plot development, and an episode that didn't reset at the end. It's too bad the next episode looks like another relationship reset.

I actually thought it was really sweet how Louise turned into her nicer sister. Interesting since they are so different from each other.

WHADDATWIST!.....so much happening.....Louise is sad, gets captured, and I think "PLOT! Maybe this'll be the plot we've been waiting for!"....then she snaps out of it 4 minutes later.
Make-up, diiidn't mean to kiss the princess, lovey-lovey....no, not now, there's enemies. And look, a character's back from the dead!
Guessing....but that's gonna be the plot for like 10 minutes next episode, the rest will be fanservice. Why am I still watching?......I blame Louise. She makes the show.

Oddly enough, when I heard about the mirror, I was thinking Saito would use it and I was thinking Colbert would be the natural mask for Saito to assume.

Then Colbert shows up, fat, sassy, and riding an airship. (I think it's supposed to be a Final-Fantasy style airship rather than a jumbo jet -- the propellers are probably pusher-props, and it appears to be the same aircraft that is seen in the opening credits.) It's been established that this fictional universe has extremely rare raise-the-dead magic, so it's not impossible that Colbert can say, "Yeah, I died once, but then someone with a powerful magic item brought me back, just like the half-elf did for two guys in the second season."

The plot was much better in this episode, and I like the notion of masquerade balls -- they fit the semi-medieval aristocratic theme of the series much better than other elements (like the medieval maid cafe run by a strange effeminate man).

Saito really has to be a little more forward in bed. If Siesta, he, and Louise and all in the same bed, I think 95% of males would have a hardwired response to grab Louise, mumble "Louise, honey, go back to sleep," and resolve the situation without an argument. Saito made up for this by stopping the argument in the final few minutes by just kissing Louise so that she would stop complaining. (Sometimes this tactic works in real life, depending on the intensity of the complaints and the attitude of the young lady in question.)


Edit: Tabitha now has an additional reason to fall in love with Saito, and I hope the writers make her fight Lousie for him.

I really don't get why (some) people are complaining even when this is the type of anime where you need to switch your brain off and just enjoy the simple humor and fights between Louise and Saito.

there is indeed "a plot" but it's so thin that you can't even see it with a microscoop.

and if I'm not mistaken the anime isn't really following the novel anymore.

WELL now. With bits and pieces of plot scattered around (though they all came to a head by the end of the episode, save for Colbert), some relationship progress -without- everything ending in an explosion and back to square one, and nothing that makes me absolutely detest any part of the episode....

Yep, we're getting to the end of the season. :| Same as the last two seasons, probably a feature that will continue on for as long as the show runs.

Yeah, I agree with the tactic but why don't think of as this way since you have a interest in medieval things: Louis-->Wife & Siesta-->Mistress (of course all to Saito disposal {this based on her submissive side in this episode}). This was quite often in those times. Tabitha....yeah more love CHAOS...sure but I do wonder about one thing.....how will Tabitha change towards Saito after all this????

It would be a welcome change to see an anime where the man resolves his issue by saying, "I'm going to have a wife *and* a mistress!" I don't think I've ever seen that in an anime with an actual story. I presume hentai does it fairly often.

What, indeed, will Tabitha do? And who is the big-breasted rosy-cheeked blue-haired girl featured in the publicity art? I don't think she's been in the show yet.

It was very good episode, but I must say - Henrietta is stupid. I understand, that she wanted to be hugged by Saito, but kiss? And why Saito didn't stop her? I hated it and I wouldn't forgive Saito so quickly. I know he loves only Louise, but It was too much. He should restrain himself.

I wonder what horny Saito has to say about the kiss with the princess. Louise knows about it, or does she? :O
