THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Change in the castle in two senses. Then both were called. Ishida-san voicing the brother!! It seems like he tries to separate the two of them because he heard both talking. It's nice to see Nobu's character without hat (kind of like that 4th person in the ED scene I keep mentioning... or probably it's him?).

FukuJun's character is invited for a party. It seems like the real goal is to try to send her back home / away from the castle. And FukuJun's character is being serious about what he said? And the prince still just considers her a friend.

About young princes and the two finally developing next?

Raj is such a moron lol

Even though he's kind of a her I kinda like Prince Izana lol...The dude has style and rules with an iron fist I'll give him that

Looking forward to the next episode though because it seems like Shirayuki wants to confess or something >//<

Ishida Akira is great as Izana! I feel intimidated whenever there is a scene with him. (>o<)

Obi just does what he wants! (^o^)

I didn't expect Prince Raj to actually help Zen realize his own feelings. (^o^)

The episode preview makes me already wish it was next week! ((o(>o<)o)) I was screaming at my computer screen. (^o^)

Love this anime. There's so much cuteness everywhere. I'm loving the OP more and more actually. I was so happy when Zen takes Obi's hat/ thing off. He's cute with and without it, but I prefer him without it (and I'm more used to it because of the manga). And lol at his sneakiness. I love Obi. He's just great. XD

The clothing (and features) is (are) less detailed than the manga, but that's probably to make the animation itself easier anyway. Doesn't bother me much anymore. I still love the characters and the clothing they wear is still nice.

Izana is a pain now, but he gets better. This is more of a test if I remember correctly. He helps them eventually.

I love ZenxShirayuki so much. They're both so adorable, especially together.

The Zen and Shirayuki parts were cute this episode, in particular when he saw her in the uniform and before they bit a temporary farewell. Izana on the other hand is a tricky character to read.

I find him to be quite interesting though as that makes him feel like he is unpredictable.

Big improvement over last week's episode. I really like the antagonism and sense of courtly realism Zen's brother brings, because while cute, the SxZ romantic dynamic so far has been too superficial to be seriously compelling. However, I do like how they're using first-person narrative and other characters to advance that element rather than the typical cheesy af emo dialogue typical of anime, so props for that. Zen's attendant spy is another character I'm hoping gets more screen time / we learn more about.

Pretty weak episode. This whole "powerful person trying to get rid of Shirayuki from behind the scenes" thing seems like it might become a recurring thing, which I can't say I'm pleased about as it already seems to have become stale.

Seeing Raj panicking the whole time was pretty funny though.

Wow this episode felt like it lasted 5 minutes or so.
I think it was a pretty weak episode. The brother doesn't seem as evil as the anime might wanted him to look like. Trying to get rid of Shirayuki for.. what reason again? She's a nobody so she should be gone or something? Not sure.

I did like the scene where she first met the brother though. Zen trying to protect her wooooo

I thought Izana would be more of an asshole but he didn't really seem that way. Idk, maybe he'll become worse later in the story.

Raj was probably the best part of this episode, I don't like him but he's pretty funny.

And Zen's reaction when Raj said that Shirayuki was his fiancee was priceless lol.

1st Prince appears and introduces the typical resentment between brothers. I'm more interested in what the reason will be in the next episode, but this one did some development in stirring up the situation between Zen and Shirayuki. Okay episode.

They definitely skipped some important scenes, mainly the part where:



The tea party scene on is pretty accurate though especially the great declaration by the one and only Raj LOL Zen's reaction was the best hahaha
I CANT BELIEVE THEY DECIDED TO END IT MID WAY WITH THAT CLIFFHANGER THOUGH OMG

Forgot to actually mention something meaningful about the episode too hahaha. Ishida as Izana is perfect and Raj's reactions animated were brilliant. They are going at a faster pace now though, hopefully they don't cut out too many things @@

I was pumped for this episode at first with the introduction of Zen's brother, Izana, (and because I hadn't read this part of the manga) but I was a little let down with this episode. I kind of got what the studio and author were going for with trying to force/push the relationship between Shirayuki and Zen forward but the dialog and scenarios here just seemed a bit too vague and meta. There wasn't much clarity in what the characters were saying and thinking. Also, this was the first episode where the ending was not very satisfactory for me.

I actually like this episode quite a lot. It's pretty clear from what is happening that Izana is totally in control of the situation and his choice of words and suggestions is calculated to produce some reactions from Zen, Shirayuki and even poor prince Raji. We also get a good picture of the gap between Izana and Zen in terms of their maturity and impulsivity. This is a pretty key moment in Zen and Shiroyuki's relationship as Izana probably will be the person deciding if their relationship can continue while Zen is still in the line of succession to the throne.

Oh shit.... Raj, you done fucked up. Bahahahahahahaha!!!!

I really don't like the fact that Izana is using underhanded powerplays to force things to go his way without dirtying his own hands. I mean. You're the first Prince and the Ruler of the country, is there really any need to be subtle when demanding explanations and ordering your subjects/brother to do your bidding? It makes really little sense to me. As a ruler, he could pretty much demand whoever he wants out of his Castle, or out of his Country for that matter. If you don't like Shirayuki and want to kick her out of your Country, just be a man and straight up say it.

Other than that, I guess this episode was pretty good in terms of forcing feels. Raj being the idiot he is was great in forcing Zen to think about his own feelings. Those hidden overheard conversations were nice in making Shirayuki think about her purpose and her motivation to carry on.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

We all know it's secretly true but Raj announcing it to everyone is just going to get Zen & Shirayuki in even bigger trouble.

Love his reaction to her in uniform.

Also liked the scenes with Raj and Zen. Wonder what Shirayuki's reactions would be if she overheard them.

Not really trouble in paradise at the moment, but I expect more drama to come!

Raj and Obi were the best parts of this episode, I genuinely enjoyed them. I finally got fed up though; Shirayuki and Zen bore me so much. I think this anime just highlights the flaws I found in the manga. Dropped, and thank goodness.
