| I feel like this arc might be more interesting than the other two :S |
     |
| I love the new opening! *-* And this was a great episode. Every minute of it was interesting. And little Beato is so cute! ^-^ |
deadoptimist said: Though I think shit-flinging should also have standards - no personal, no behind the scenes. |
| Sugita is amazing as usual <3 This is the best episode so far imo. Animation, pacing, everything was really well done. Hopefully they keep this up. Also love the new parts in the opening even though it seemed a little off beat at some parts. |
 |
| Loved this episode, I wish I had some money to purchase the VN's so I could play this game. The anime just can't fill my needs, lol. I actually was questioning if I would like this for a while. Though recent episodes, including this with that simply beautiful OP have made me change my mind yet again. Very good Episode. |

| I liked the pacing of the episode though they skipped a few scenes (ASS NEE CHANS WHERE?!) I liked it enough |
 |
| Was it just me, or did the animation quality really suck this episode? Also I must say - having started to read the VN - that, while not perfect, this episode was pretty well adapted from the original material. |
| O new op XD o btw could hte beato she speaks of whom she killed be another beato since the first half showed us that there's more than one person named beato.. |
| Cookie anyone ? At least it didn't felt rushed and i'm liking the new OP I wonder how is the next EP OP will go... Are there any translations for the previews (mainly 10-13) ? (the regular youtube-source died). |
  |
| Really loved this episode. It felt good watching it. |
 |
| Well, at least I didn't dislike this episode for once. |
 |
| I really liked this episode, gave it a 5. Now it truly feels like a game! Before it was kind of confusing, understanding exactly how the "game" was working and what not, but now that they actually have Battler and Beatrice positioned like that, and Battler no longer afraid to suspect anything short of magic, it actually has a "game" atmosphere to it. I actually can't wait for next week's episode this time. |
(Almost) 13 years on MAL! ()__() (='.'=) (")_(") |
| i dont even get the point of this anime.. and why battle refuses to believe shes a witch |
 |
| love the new opening and I can't wait to see where this arc goes :D |
 |
| Really good episode. Though I hope they don't screw up on the pacing at the epic ending like they did in EP2 |
| great ep, it was so funny when that old guy Ronowe (I think hes name was), voice part Sugita, started talking. I heard the Kyon and Gintoki voice which makes me laugh |
[right] |
| Great direction this series is heading. Definitely an improvement over the adaptation of the last arc.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| great episode Nice new OP This arc seems interesting |

| So let me get this straight: Battler finally getting half a brain and starting to think that there are other people on the island means that the show is infinitely better? From what I see, outside of the first couple of minutes, the butler, and the end...this could almost have been seen as a companion to the first arc. They're so similar that they gloss through much of what happened. I just don't see the big deal about anything that was presented in this episode because so little of it was new. I didn't like this thing that they were doing with Eva at all. It reminds me of an over-embellished way of doing what they did with Jessica at the beginning of the second arc. Meh, it seems more promising than the second arc, but it's far too early to tell. |
| luv the ep :) |

I didn't like this thing that they were doing with Eva at all. It reminds me of an over-embellished way of doing what they did with Jessica at the beginning of the second arc. Really? Half of the episode is about the conference between the adults in the late night, which was not shown to us in the first two arcs. If it's not new then I don't know what's new. And Eva's past is considered something new too, whether you like it or not. And about the treatment toward Eva, Krauss always tries to act like Kinzou, so there's no surprise if they treat their daughters in same way. And of course Kinzou is more harsh. |
| That meeting did nothing but talk about Beatrice and risk, and bring the consideration that there was someone else on the island, which had all been tossed in the air before. Eva's past is not new, we already knew based that Kinzo didn't treat her well because she was a girl based on some of her lines in the first (and maybe second) arcs. What was new was the high school version of herself that she was talking to, and I've spoken about that. |

| Her name is Kyrie |
SilentPredator03 said: I see that as a major change. The previous two arcs everyone ignored the letter of challenge. Now it seems as if the adults are going to take this riddle seriously, if for other reasons than intended by Beatrice (they think she's just a mistress looking for more money as opposed to a killer witch - but then again no one has died yet). I can't speak for you, but for myself, the last two arcs I kept wondering why no one even made an attempt to solve it and now it looks like they might take up the challenge. It was nice to see that one character (I forget her name), the one that taught Battler how to think by 'turning the chessboard over', actually use some of that thinking instead of just joining the rest as a sheep to slaughter. We never saw that meeting, so we don't know for sure what was discussed or not. And again, they aren't trying to solve the riddle, they're getting sidetracked (more understandably so this time) with who Beatrice is. The way I see it, they're showing a lot of things that happened that we didn't see in the first arc. |

| Woah that preview did have a lot of spoilers. But the next episode looks great :) |

| Please avoid mentioning spoilers even if you aren't directly stating them. Sorry if that came off sounding arrogant, I just want the anime viewers experience to be as similar as that of us VN readers. |

| In all 3 arcs, the first letter (the one that tells people to solve the riddle) is always opened and read before the first murder. Edit: As MarthX says below me, in the 2nd arc the letter is "received" before the first murder, but it is never shown to be read. |

| No. In the first arc Maria got a letter to open at dinner that she read that was basically Beatrice taunting everyone and introducing the game. It's sealed with Kinzo's ring and that leads the first search. In the second arc, Beatrice gives Maria a letter, and Rosa a letter. Maria reads one letter at dinner, and the second letter actually has the key to whoever's room. That's not the impression I got. It felt more like they (and therefor Battler) are in a better mindset to think of the murders as something done by a non-magical outside force. Maybe they will attempt to solve the riddle, but Rosa's little distraction might take away from that. |
| No, in Legend the first letter was read after Dinner. You don't get to see the adults discussion. But for some reason Rudolf tells Battler that he'll probably be killed tonight. So something from that discussion must have lead Rudolf to believe that things were going to get ugly. In Turn, a letter wasn't read but they were informed that a mysterious 19th person had shown up. Most of the discussion was cut in the anime, but it was mostly about why would a 19th person show up, believing they're after the inheritance. Because the letter wasn't read there was no discussion of the hidden gold or the epitaph. |

It suggests that Rosa's letter was the one Maria read in the first arc but you never see her reading it and it never gives that impression that she did. I actually think |
