| Lemon Pie and Nova's memory. Nova's such a tsundere, and he likes the purple flower called "jampone"? He's also knowledgeable about flowers. Thief from the Casino was found out by the girl. Wow, she's stronger than she looks (besides kicking). Nova was sent to be the girl's fiance by his parents, it seems. The girl wanted to be friendly but he's too harsh, so with the help of Nakamura-san's character, she cook the soup. Yusa-san's character is suspicious and the girl was tested by Nova to investigate his research. The paper has Nova's parents' data, too? He got them sleep for all these years using his power because they used his power for their goal? And because of that, he doesn't want her to get involved on him... Nakamura-san's character got punished for pies!! lol~ |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The fight with Nova and Felicia against the robbers were pretty cool, now if only they used those fight scenes on ACTUAL battles.. Now wait, cousins and betrothed? Incest? Well, right now they're all battling to marry her so I guess that's out of the question for now. Liberta and Nova are the most interesting of the bunch, so it's nice to see some attention on Nova. This episode was pretty boring overall, though. I really want some more stuff to pick up. That robber fight was the most action we've had for a few weeks. The plot really needs to get moving a bit faster, there's only 7 episodes left. If they want to explain more about certain characters they need to pick up the pace. I can understand why 1000+ people have already dropped it. Still, I'm interested to know what's going to happen from here on out, with Nova and everyone else. |
 |
| Interesting ep.So Nova used his arcana power to stop his parent . |
 |
| I laughed at lil' Nova's voice. |
 |
| I don't know why, but Nova annoys me.Therefore i didnt like this episode much.Liberta episodes are kinda better, and i would like to see Debito episode too.Bambina~ 2.5/5 (i won't vote, since 3 is too much and 2 is not enough) |
 |
| I'm glad i read the spoilers i dont have to waste my time. I'm only going to watch it when the tournament starts. |
 I didnt think the anime could have some dark secrets. Bambina is coming close to being a bit too powerful I think. Her knife skills are flawless and almost as impressive as Nova's skills, though not quite. The scene was just as pleasing as all the limone pie scenes with Pace. On the mental side of things hope there is someway both Nova and Liberta can overcome their personal tragedies, both have had it tough and I dont think just peering into their hearts can solve it. |

| I really liked the beginning of this show, but the last few eps have been pretty boring, I mean I understand we need to learn about their past, but when is the tournament thing going to start? |
| Nice episode.. Still not completely sure of Nova's predicament, but I feel bad for him. :/ He's a really interesting character. Glad we got to see more of him this ep. Still a LibertaxFelicita fan though XD Btw though, I hope people understand that Arcana Famiglia is NOT a shounen. Flashy action isn't going to happen, and I expect it to be on the minimum even throughout the tournament.. These little emotional stories explaining the past of the characters are basically what make up the show, and that's fine with me. |

People should also understand that But to the episode, it was okayish. Though i'm not really liking Nova's character. |
>tfw Youtube can't let me have nice things  |
| So it's about Nova this time. Kinda curious about next ep. |

And I think if I'd cut out all the unnecessary parts - the duration of anime would decrease from 24 to 5mins (without op and end). |
| simply disappointing .. -___- I didn't think it would be THAT boring! Don't ever judge a book by its cover ... this is the #1 fail anime of summer 2012 (and it's from J.C. Staff T.T! come on guys what are you doing?!) |
 |
| I like every single episode from the very beginning so this one is no different. The only thing I don't like is that they focus too much on Nova and Libertá. Seems like that limone pie made the next punishment for Luca interesting. And I wonder what Jolly is doing in that secret lab of his underground.. |
  |
| Thought the Episode was alright, I preferred Liberta's back story but probably because I like him better then Nova :L but overall I liked it. didn't love it, but liked it. |
| I personally like Nova a lot!! He was soooo adorable as a kid. I just hope we get more of him. I was kinda tired of seeing Liberta all the time.....I mean I like him too, but not as much as Nova. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| More background this time, nova power is scary sheesh. so im guessing Fel back ground next? |
| First, Liberta, now Nova. Felicita gets conflicted with our guys. I wonder who might be next? Nova's Arcana is too OP as well. The Death. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Fine episode That research look suspicious And the preview looks interesting |
| Decent episode, more into the backstory of Nova. I wonder if Liberta will later be involved with his parents because of his revealed power. |
| I enjoyed this episode especially finding out about Nova's past |
 |
| For me Nova = the only reason I'm watching this anime. & the possibility that the tournament will be epic. Not likely to happen. You see, I'm the kind of person that freaking yells and slams my screen after watching fighting sequences from...(trying to name random action anime from top of head with magic) ohh lets say fairy tail (oh and of course I do these violent acts out of excitement). Now there are romantic components layered inside of it at times but ultimately the anime is about each character developing into a stronger and more mature one...and teamwork. Like, where the hell is this anime headed towards? I don't freaking see it. The end, I mean. Is there even going to be a definite ending? Somehow I have this hunch that they'll purposely leave an ending that makes no sense whatsoever just to piss me off. None of the other freaking characters interest me at all since they're all so typical. I can literally name around 10 characters with Liberta's personality, the same goes for Felicita...Is there ANYTHING at all that sets them apart? Because I'm sure as heck NOT seeing it. At all. They better hurry it up because if there isn't anything that sets this anime apart from any other anime, I'm going to drop it. Of course I look for interesting plots (this one had the potential of heading off to a great direction), but if the characters are typical...ordinary- plainly put- boring, and do not develop into a better character (they don't chance in any way) then I don't see a reason to keep watching (this is strictly my own opinion) As for the actual episode...I did not watch it yet, I must admit. Not sure if I want to. Heck, I'll just watch it to see Nova |

| Alot of babbling tbh , I want Arcana Duello to start . |
 |
| The fight scene was nice but the rest of the episode was pretty boring. I don't like Nova aka tsundereboya, although he and Felicità act like brothers. Btw I prefer FelicitàxLibertà but it's pretty clear that in the end she will not choose anyone. |
 |
| This was a fine episode. I have high expectations for the next one, though. It seems like they won't be focusing on any other characters (besides Liberta and Nova) for a while. |
| Little Felicita is so cute! Didn't expect Nova's past to be so dark but I guess that contributed to his current state of being. I wonder what was that glowing experiment. |
| I'm only watching this for the Seiyuu cast. Not sure if its worth it. |
|
| Plot goes where? That's right, nowhere! I honestly was only interested in the show at first because I like hot men in tailored suits. The main plot seems to be forgotten about, and the next episode seemed to only push the main love triangle forward and kick the semblance of a plot into the dirt. Dropping this right now. I shouldn't have to suffer through 24 minutes of tripe a week if I want to see hot guys. |
| Little Fel and Nova so cute Luca is my perfect houseman, srry you can't stop next ep Luca is punished for his delicious pies :( I really want to see his power, I hope he's really strong, Nova's power sounds really powerful and Jolly is so evil >.< what creepy things is he hiding?! |
| Nova's voice never changed, lol. The voice actor should have at least tried to highten his voice a bit while he played child Nova, otherwise all seriousness was taken out from that scene simply because i couldn't help but be amused by his voice. Anyway, the only interesting thing for me in this episode was Jolly's hidden experiment. The rest was nice character development, but it seems the characters completely forgot about this serious tournament possibly costing their beloved Felicita's future. Where's the angst? Possibly coming up, but if no one mentions it by next episode, the half-way point, i'm guessing they might pull a second season on us and just make this season nothing but funny antics and build up. As long as we get some more info on the other characters i might not mind. I personally like the supporting cast more than i do Liberta, Nova, and Felicita. |
| nice lookin pie? ugh im still a lil disapointed with this seris tho |
 |
| Some plot development,I guess?Anyways,I don't watch it for plot only.I love this anime for things more than thaty. |
 |
| Jolly being the "evil" one was sort of predictable since the beginning but I'm really happy Nova has a dark secret. It's rare for main characters to have a secret like that. I seriously hope Nova ends up with Felicita, although I'm 90% sure it will be Liberta. In most of reverse harem anime I've heard of/seen, the girl ends up with the most annoying/childish character (that isn't underage) in the show and so far that seems to be Liberta. Am I really the only one that would choose Luca without a second thought? XD He's just so sweet. Anyway, this episode was interesting since we got some plot development and Nova's background. It's just a pity that we haven't seen any duels. When are they going to happen, in the last 2 episodes? EDIT: EarlCiel said: For me Nova = the only reason I'm watching this anime. & the possibility that the tournament will be epic. Not likely to happen. This. (and pretty much the rest of the post) |
 |
| Nova's child voice is..not childish at all. Same with Fel. They used the same seiyuus. LOL Jolly is so creepy yet so handsome at the same time. =P I like Nova but I know that she'll probably end up with Liberta. Plus the fact that Nova and Fel are first cousins also throws me off. |
| At least the episode wasn't as boring as the other 3. However, about half-way through I was wondering if it was done yet. Simply just not entertaining enough. Each episode so far, minus the first episode feel like filler with a pinch of storyline. Even if it is a shoujo romance, it doesn't explain the lack of character depth or storyline. :I |
| They say that they are going to have a competition and fight for Felicità's hand in marriage but I don't see any fighting. Finally an ep about Nova has arrived. |
 |
| I liked that we got Nova's back-story but as many others have already said, I worry that they are focusing on those two far too much. I feel like the other characters haven't really developed much. Also since it's such a short series the pace is still concerning me. I like the show but almost wish it either focused solely on the tournament or was at least 24 episodes long. Either way, I will continue to watch. |

LOL Whoa! You make it sound like there's gonna be something else even worse. ; ) I'm interested in this anime even more now. :D |
| This show is still terrible even with the developments... If this show finishes without the tourney starting I'll flip a table over. |
| I don't think this episode was too bad, and this little secret going around in the lab is actually interesting. Just as the preview. 3/5. |
| Awww Felicita looks cute as a child. Never thought Nova was her ex-fiance. |
| Hide your secret behind a blanket really helps........ |
