d_yakimov said: Zensational said: Great episode but I'm curious as to how Victorica was able to grab Kujou when he was falling when earlier she had a lot of trouble picking up an empty chair. Love the show so far though. As Robz86 said it could be this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_strength It's like a spell with long cd :D I understand that, but a falling person that is much heavier than yourself who is in motion downward is harder to justify than a still object, especially when getting a grip is something that needs to be done in that situation. Her body didn't really have the weight and she wasn't really grabbing on to anything. Maybe if he grabbed onto something, but still a good episode I just thought that part was silly. |

| OK, I seriously don't get how Victorica figures these things out. I mean, hiding in a grandfather clock to kill that guy? Plus it happened like 10 years ago, which means she killed him when she was like 16?! Plus, how did Kujou get her to confess?! I mean, their voices sound NOTHING ALIKE, obviously, and the magic words? Seriously, WTF? Cordelia's alive, it seems I was misled into thinking this would be an actual mystery show, it appears. Hooray, romance development, woot woot ... -_-" Hope it doesn't disappoint like Yakumo does, although I have a feeling we're getting there. Victorica is actually annoying me more and more each episode, even though I'm probably supposed to be all "AWWW YOU'RE LIKE SO CUTE" OTL Plus, I thought Harminia burned the bridge? Not like "oh here I'm going to spread some fire HERE ON THE LEFT and HERE ON THE RIGHT so you can WALK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE KAYS". Plus, it's actually impossible for her to have gotten out so fast and set the fires. The way the fires were jumping ALL OVER TOWN with like TWO SECONDS BETWEEN THEM. Unless she's teleporting or something, that's not happening Cue fangirl squeals over next episode and blushing Victorica, please |

It does some how make sense since the current elder did say that other people did not agree on the time of death. The Clock was supposed to be ringing by that time, but since maid was in there it did not ring. I think it was just a guess that the maid was the culprit be cause of the way she was acting. And she was insane, she though the mantra was saying something else. The whole fire incident is probably just sloppy work from the studio. |
| That episode was awesome! |
| Interesting episode, so far I think it's one of the better anime that came out so far this year. Looking forward to the next episode Cordelia is innocent :D...that was definitely the Cordelia alive |
 |
| A mystery begins Needs more victorique though |
 |
| That kid looks like hes been living in a pile of manure. And now we have another mystery. |
| I thought some of the parts of this episode were...stupid, to put it simply xD Like the fires starting in various parts of the village so fast...Did Harminia use her spiderman powers to jump such distances or what? Or when Victorique was holding Kujo and nobody helped her? Not that a girl this small would hold Kujo for long with ONE hand anyway...oh well. At least it's still pretty. Also, Brian Rosco=definitely the magician guy. |

| ok, what i thought about the comments about this episode is that obviously some of our VIEWERS ARE STUPID, seriously, they kept asking how Harminia was able spread a fire in the village!???, then why OVERLOOK THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN we have our gang CAUGHT UP with her on the bridge??? did Victorica and the others use spidey moves too!? Seriously, as you can see it is clearly in fast forward, why would they waste time showing Harminia throw torches all over the place along with Victorica and the others chasing her if they could do what they have done here. oh my such simplicity become idiocy because some of us fail to comprehend such simple tactic in a series composition. it clearly is a save of time and budget in their part. and for no one helped her, haven't anyone saw the background when Victorica was running to save Kujo, no one is around her, it is clearly IMPLIED that Glaviel and others run off knowing they were following behind, and for Victorica holding on to Kujo with one hand, adrenaline rush, you're able to exert an unimaginable strength not in your consent, you have someone important to you about to fade away and you're just going to let go, and besides Victorica caught Kujo's wrist, not just the arm, so that helped in able to lift him for that amount of time if still not satisfied, then let us try it for ourselves for comparison if this people can't believe such act ^^ |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| OK, I love this show... but come on... there is only so much belief I can suspend. 1. How the bloody hell did Har start ALL those fires. 2. How the hell did they catch up with her. and most importantly: 3. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WARE THE OTHER 3 IMBECILES DOING WHILE VIC WAS HOLDING KUJO FROM FALLING TO HIS DEATH? WERE THEY ON A BREAK? |
 |
| ...Why, someone's butthurt about people finding flaws in this anime :P |

QueueQ said: Didn't think mother was still alive? that's still kinda depressing that, the chick didn't actually live past 26... Too bad they did have mental health facilities back then; she definitely could've used one. Harminia was so over the top that I wasn't very fond of her to begin with. When Ambrose let her go she made them instantly regret it. My kingdom for a good archer in that scene. The best thing about this little arc was that we got something to grasp onto in the future. It looks like Kujo and Victorique are destined to be separated, and that's only making their bond stronger.  |
 |
Dommu said: That maid was one hell of an arsonist. Yeah, she quickly burned few places in the village. Determination, now we shall think about their bond. As friend. |
| There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.  Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it. 3/1 |
| I liked this episode more than the earlier ones. Victorique is so tsundere it hurts. :> Oh, and that maid. So the reason she was all crazy was because she knew she was going to die that year? Cool. ...And for some reason, I like Ambrose. =)) |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| Best anime of the season. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Too much drama in the bridge part victorique's brother didn't even help her to lift up kujo. |
Robz86 said: stickymochi said: Also surprised by Victorique's strength. Quite possibly an example of Hysterical strength? First thing I thought of. |
 |
koleare said: DenjaX said: The only thing I found this episode stupid is when no one helped Victorique saving Kujo's ass xDD Ehh, I think no one helped her because they might've been in Kujo's state. Nausea caused by smoke and lack of air... yea but she was with them too, and i'm pretty sure that her bro is stronger than her and able to withstand the nausea better than victorique. |
     |
| Once again, Kujo is also a wimp in this episode. The worst male character can be is when they given up and had to rely on little girls for help. Vic's once again amazed me. I thought it was the elder who killed the previous elder but this episode managed to trick me into believing that. The theory of white pigeon is also interesting where people tends to look at the where object falls instead of from where it came. Grevil finally shows what he's all about in this episode. Hope for more in the next one. And that last scene, is it Brian and Cordelia? Since as Vic's said something like this in this episode; The people of Seyren are short but highly intelligent -- kinda like Vic |
 |
| Arrgh this Kujou kid is getting on my nerves now. All he does is scream Victorique every 5 second and he doesn't do anything useful. What's up with Harminia, no eye-hand coordination with the spear? How was she even a maid without good eye-hand coordination because she kept missing every charge she was doing with the spear as Kujou was standing still on the same spot. All he got was scratches from the spear? lol I thought that was quite funny. And how the hell did Harminia get to light 4 fires, let alone get on the roof so fast. I thought the bridge incident was a little too over-dramatic. How did Kujou faint and Victorique didn't, and how the hell did she hold onto him for so long until he gained consciousness. lol It was sad that no one helped her get Kujou up though. :( Anyways, I thought it was a good episode overall since we got to know about Victorique's past and the introduction of some new characters. |

QueueQ said: that's still kinda depressing that, the chick didn't actually live past 26... Unfortunate, but she set it at all in motion when she committed the murder... Sealed her fate in the process of trying to prevent it. No way she could've known it at the time, of course, but I guess those are intended to be the perils of seeing one's future. |
| Kujo might not be cool but he's bearable. Anyways crazy woman takes a spear(Where's the mop?) and tries her best to survive. It was all in vain. |
| Lol Harminia fell down. |
| Only in anime will you find a loli character being able to lift up a boy twice her weight with one hand :D Loved the way they both asked the same thing! |

| Godammit. i'm going to have nightmares about creepy maid tonight. that episode confused the crap out of me. :S gonna go read full summaries just because i have no idea why the crime happened LOL. I know creepy maid wanted to live longer but... yeah how does kujo imitate the victim's voice?! o_o and how did victorica solve that? :S Anyways, yay, next arc time~ |
| Forget about the gold coins. What confuses me is the logic of the maid. She's told that she'll die at 26, so she decides to go and kill Rosecoe.....Huh? |

| Awesome episode! Kujo and Victorique are really becoming closer! Grevil's highspeed-attack! hahahahaha! |
| My guess is that the other blond girl was Cordelia with the man who gave electricity to the town. I truly believed Victorique had asked about her height... |

| Goodness, that maid can run fast. I understand that it's a pretty small country but it should still take more than ten seconds to run all the way across it. |
| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| Good episode. |
 |
| god dammit. this male lead makes me want to punch a wall. |

I noticed those too. Some obvious yet lulzy plot holes in this episode. And that maid Harminia was pretty damn amusing with her superstition, guilt, and paranoia. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Another great arc. I really liked how Ambrose told Kujou that they asked the same question, that was cute :3 Victorique not wanting to hold hands because of the bruises was also nice in a ways :D (I agree that Kujou should get a little tougher, because even though he always goes in like a man to defend Victorique he always gets knocked down to the ground and get help from someone else :S ) So the magician was the man who supported the village all along, and he seems to be "friends" with Victorique's mother. I wonder what will come out of this. |
 |
| Major plot holes for sure, but this is still a fantastic series. |

Kurogashi said: god dammit. this male lead makes me want to punch a wall. yeah yeah I'm glad there are people who understand.. I know he tried to protect Vic and all but I just can't help but hate him.. remember when he charged off to that Harminia? he hugged her! he freaking hugged her! what would hugging her do? that barely restrained her at all.. at least throw a punch or something.. and also, that made brushed him off like he was nothing.. for fucks sake the pride of a 3rd son of an imperial soldier my ass.. he was nothing and he really needs to go. |
 |
| Oh so its the maid after all. Didnt saw that coming. The fire was really stupid Its like everything in that village was made out of black powder. They ignite so easily. |

| Damn, that was one crazy bitch. I mean, I had my suspicions about her, but I didn't expect her to be a straight up psycho. It was kind of sad that she did end up dying there, though. >_> Victorique was super, super cute at the end! |
