| Not just a portrait change either. The OP has new animation that shows the fantasy characters. |
 |
| I haven't seen it besides screenies, but... http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/50885608.html Wonder how and where those fit. |

| This episode was done really well. Finally, Kyrie gets a chance to show her intelligence. Love the new OP animation. Bombardment of new characters for anime watchers though. lol |

| New opening is awesome loli Beato is sooo cute <3 Virgilia's voice is good. It's hard to get used to seeing her with her eyes open. I'm so glad they kept the flashback with Eva, Krauss and Kinzo. It was nice to see their younger selves. The beach scene was kept. Hmm... We finally get to see the witches' tea room. I wonder why they never used it before. RONOVE <333 His voice isn't quite what I imagined it to be but it's not bad It ended exactly where I thought it would. I'm kind of sad that they didn't show the rest of the stakes yet but other than that, this episode was great. I just hope EP3 gets 8 episodes |

| The Meta room was shown in the witches tea party in 5 and 11. |
| |
| Really? I don't remember them being there in episode 5 |
| So far this adaption o the 3rd arc is going well. |

PlatinumHawke said: They did use the Witches' Tea Room, a couple of times infact. The ???? all took place there. But this is the first time that Battler himself has been present there. Yeah, that's what I meant. They didn't have Battler and the others in the tea room in episode 5 |
| I am loving the new OP. Bern and Lamba <3 |

| New OP in high quality I wonder how many people skip the OP and will miss the new animation. |
| |
| Loved the new episode, everything was done at the right pace, only one fanservice scene missed. Virgilia won't open her eyes (at least fully) till the end. I won't expect her to open them in the you know what in twoo weeks (smothered if people are slow) |
 |
| The new girl on the portrait seems really cute, but in the overall I prefer way more the 1st op |
 |
| I find the new OP much better than the old one, though the song didnt change. the episode itself is pretty nice as well, Im very glad i didnt drop this show since it is indeed getting more interesting. cant remember much anymore after i watched S&W, but I got the impression this episode strongly suggests the idea that there is indeed a human Beatrice, a 19th person on the island, and she should be, i speculate, the true mastermind behind all murders of very arc. ps: plus, the first scene, where we see the gray hair Beatrice talking to a child resembling the present Beatrice, is as well suggesting that the witch has, at least once upon a time, a human body. |

| Oh god, I creamed my pants at the opening. I love it to death. The episode was so good, they kept great pacing and the cuts were decent as well, despite the lack of Stakes before the game began. Let Banquet of the Golden Witch begin!! Sugita Tomokazu did a wonderful job as Ronove too, I've never heard him use that voice before. Did I also mention how much I love the new OP? ____'s part was unexpected and extremely well done <3. Now excuse me while I go rewatch the OP again and again. [/fanboy rants] |

| The meta scene near the end of the episode is how all meta scenes should be. Adrenaline pumping music, lots of energy, Battler pointing and Beatrice looking cornered when you feel like Battler is reaching the truth. |
| |
| Young Beatrice is so cute. <3 |

PsychFreak said: Well I have to say this is best adapted episode yet by DEEN. The opening really caught my eye with the new characters (as I predicted) and the fantasy scenes were top notch, I hope it's like that in the anime. As far as the overall episode goes, it was paced really well, seeing (B)ronove and Virgilia really pleased me. They also handled Beatrice's and Eva's backstories really well. No complaints there. Battler and Beatrice are finally in the true Meta-World and this should lessen the confusion a little from here on regarding Meta-Battler and Piece-Battler. Another thing I am pleased with is how they gave the adults a lot of screen time, in the first two arcs, the only ones we've seen enough of is Natsuhi and Rosa and that's only because they didn't die until near the end, but in this arc we'll get to see more of these parents. Anyways, a nice cliffhanger to end the episode I like where they left off with Rosa exclaiming she killed Beatrice. Overall, a very good well paced episode. 4/5 only because we haven't gotten to the real good stuff yet. ditto |

| And so we've started the third game, Banquet of the golden witch. "The difficulty is equal. Equal for both you and the Witch" Legend of the golden witch: The difficulty is standard. Shall we first take the easy road? Turn of the golden witch: The difficulty is first-rate. The Witch intends to make you surrender with no warning. |

Loko said: I loved the part at the begining with Beato and Virgilia. i agreee! |

| The opening surprised me, though I expected the Eva-Beatrice potrait to appear. All the new changes was a shock, However I was disappointed by the fact that Anyway, can't wait for the Sorry, too many spoilers. :P |
| Awesome Opening edits <3 If the rest of Ep3 will be as good as this Episode, I will be satisfied with the Anime~ and yay for Ronove, "Beatrice" and young Beato^^ |
     |
| pretty nice. start to answered some questions. this time it lokks liek battler have some good arguments. and with the help(?) of bernkastel he could succeed? |
     |
| Excellent new opening and episode |
 |
| A wonderful episode, the new scenes in the opening are great. Battler seems to be in high-spirit in this arc, so it's a good thing. But i'm still in ch2 in the game, it's a bit hard to guess what's happening now... |
| That dude with the monacle. Fuck yeah. |
 |
LolitaDecay said: That dude with the monacle. Fuck yeah. Ronny FTW! And his voice is perfect! And young Kinzo has an evil goatee - also perfect. |
| Ah, I really liked this episode. The opening was amazing (Lambda and Bern ♥) and the pacing of this episode felt good; not too rushed but not too slow either. And Beato and Battler's battle is so interesting to follow. And aaa, chibi-Beato was so adorable and innocent-looking ! And Virgilia appeared aswell, though it was kinda weird to see her with her eyes opened ... Looking forward to next one ! |
     |
| What was with the Dragonball Z charge between the (what I am guessing is the) old and current Beatrice in the new OP? I definitely like the images a lot better than the first one. You know, last week everyone was saying Rosa was the most suspicious and while that's still true, I find Eva a lot more suspicious. But of course all you VN readers are probably all giggiling from some plot development that I don't know about anyway. I still wonder what's going on though. Meta world scene was awesome. Total Detective Conan style Oh yeah, I'm glad nobody hates the show as much anymore :P |
 |
| finally a good episode. nice for the opening of the new episode. Good pacing, not too fast but not too slow. Nice voice by Virgillia, but somehow i still couldn't used myself with Ronove's voice. Always reminding me of Kyon. Also nice showing younger Krauss, Eva and Kinzo and they also did very well with Eva-beatrice and Ange. Keep it up DEEN !! Show us middle-schooler Rosa !! |
 |
| I liked this episode, very well paced. Probably my favourite episode thus far. Personally I believe that the names of characters that were in the op that have yet to appear in the anime should be spoiler tagged. The main ones being |

| Fantastic episode, the script and animation were just great, and the cliffhanger... Well, it seems like the 3rd arc is indeed the best of all, as thse who played to the game are claiming. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

| Loved the pacing of this episode. The talk between the siblings was very interesting, as was Battler's finally getting something of a lead in the logic fight with Beatrice. I can't help but think that what Rosa said at the end could be taken in a number of ways. Next ep, please. Also, new lyrics to the ending? "Sacrifice a sheep to God"? Wat. |
     |
| Good one, the creators managed to revive interest in me) |

| Great ep~ it was weird seeing beatrice so innocent and young XD does that mean that her real name isn't beatrice ? ^^~ Can't wait foe the Next ep! :3 I wish I can read the VN T.T |
