That dumb maid was ultra NUTS!I really hated her and that ugly face of hers.

Also, both Kujo and Victorique asked the same thing, huh? :) Nice episode and preview of the next episode.

She could have marked her escape route before hand so by making fire in one place, it would have spread to ensure confusion.

Exactly if you're fighting for your life you have the most chances to miss. Especially if you go into a blind rage like that or if she didn't have any expertise with weapons at all. (as shown, she didn't have any; even with the knife when she killed the previous elder she had blind luck) The spear might have been for dramatic purpose only xD
Vanisher said:

As I said some pages before, everyone might have been feeling just like Kujo. Nausea from the smoke marks the only possible explanation. Dizziness especially and they were simply not aware. The only feasible question here that doesn't seem real is how did Victorique managed to keep Kujo from not falling and pulling him after-wards with her small body :D

I'm glad that Harminia is dead. I felt bad for Ambrose, though.
Grevil was really cool in this episode. I never thought he is capable of something like that. ^^ But Kujo is the best. He may not be the most intelligent person but he sure knows how to protect a girl and Victorique always was awesome. ^^ The ending of episode was nice. Finally I got to see brother and sister actually talking to each other. I'm glad that Grevil doesn't hate her. :)
I'm sure that Roscoe is the magician from opening and he's with Cordelia. Does that mean that he knew who Kujo is and purposely gave him that turban?

Yup, knowing the future isn't always a good thing. For example it can make you go insane like the maid.

Hu, looks like it really was the maid and the guys. Of course, i guessed that the culprit could be everyone but them.

Looks like i am not going to become a detective soon!

The maid was crazy but I think that someone who is told they will die at 26 will be acting crazy at 26. After all Ambrose said she was always kind towards him so it's not like she was always this crazy. Also when she killed the elder she did the eye scratching thing but that too is understandable since she just killed someone.

Anyway the best I've got for Victorique holding Kujo up is adrenaline but I'm not sure if that alone would work since she is so much smaller than him. Don't get me wrong, I still think someone should have helped.

The preview looks good but the title is a little...different. The subs I saw put it as "Blue Roses Bloom in the Cannibal Department Store." None the less it will be something to see.

How could the maid light all these fires in such a little time ? ( and each fire was pretty far from another 0.0)

Well the episode sure was good, liked it very much, as usual i guess. But 2 things we're just wrong:
-When maid started setting up the fire all over the place, she set it up in like 4 or so places almost immediately. Okay village may be small but to run through whole village setting on fire 4 places?
-And why the hell Victorique was the only one pulling up Kujo?

Ok I say this episode was on pure luck. That those acorns got caught on his clothes and that they fell off him just on the proper places.

And that incident with her mother was probably just a guess. The way the maid was acting was probably just getting to Victorique. Then she tried to trick her. The reason why it even worked is most probably because it's a superstitious village. OK logic sane, know your enemy know your self the the battle will go your way. But still.

The maid was sure fast. And where the heck did those three go. They did not even bother to look back.

I've given up hope on making sense of these mysteries and how she solves it. I'm just gonna accept that she knows everything with that secret wellspring of hers.
That way I could enjoy this show more cause frankly, it's getting really dull for me.
I'll give it the next arc I guess.

Duh, that was pretty lame. The guy doing the storyboard and dialogue for the show (director Nanba?) seems to suck. No wonder considering he hasn't done anything decent before.
And I had high expectations for this show after hearing good things about the novels and cause I like mysteries.

Grevil actually did something useful for once and man he was cool doing so.


When watching this episode, I also noticed that Grevil stood out in this episode a lot more than usual.

That maid really was crazy, we could see it in her eyes. The prediction about her dying at age 26 came true, I wonder how things are going to turn out with the prediction of Kujo and Victorique. I loved how they both asked the same question.

As for catching Kujo when the bridge collapsed, Victorique sure is strong -_-'

I assumed that she pole vaulted over onto each roof with her spear. Its a WTF moment, but that's the only thing I think of when I watch it.

It was alright. Enjoyable but a lot of it hardly made any sense. The double murder plot to steal the vase had not a single shred of logic attached to it, and some of the reasoning very flawed (if gold coins fell out of a clock I'm pretty sure most people would look at the place of origin first).

This exactly.

I wouldave pushed the maid off in the 1st place, also she kinda reminded me of Rena. The acorn thing was kinda meh. But my favorite part was Victorique yelling for Kujo it actually made me cry for some reason.

Victorique is one strong girl seriously she held on to kujo from falling!!

also we all agree that Harminia was one crazy bitch

Amen! It freaked me out how she kept clawing at her eyes. Scratch a cornea why don't you.

I figured she was going to die anyway and when Ambrose told her to run then they heard glass break I thought she had fallen through a window...unfortunately that was not the case and there was more crazy to come.

Ever since that maid looked at Victorique looking at the window I already knew she was the suspect, the cup of tea and eye-opening batcrazy thing reaffirms it.

Although, I have no idea why that oracle did some crazy fate shit thing like that. If you're going to give out fates, give one that won't make people freak out like shit about their future.

Also the fire thing, I suspected she might of gotten lots of oil spread over planned out or something, although her movement speed is quite agile given the circumstances that she was able to leave the room, find a torch, use a spear and extensively jump from roof to roof.

Near the end, I also thought why the hell didn't anybody help Kujo be pulled up. I knew right at the moment of the fire on the bridge scene (typical, cut the bridge, bridge explode, etc) that somebody will always almost fall down but gets save or the bad guys fall off or something and the protagonists have a shield around them preventing them from falling off and being able to save eachother or be washed ashore somehow.

Her theory of reverse psychology of the suspects somewhat made sense although them fighting over it and the extensive planning or elaborate planning of criminals kind of was somewhat far-fetched. I mostly try to take out logic when trying to find out some of these mysteries but she does seem to rationalize human behavior well in accordance to their circumstances. (ie : eyeball -> fear threat) Her tsundere archetype adds appeal as some would say. Nevertheless the episode was enjoyable to an extent.

Second half of this episode was sooo deprived of any sense/logic that it almost hurt to watch... Just to show some touching scenes, which also were out of character by the way. This could have been done way better. "Hero" Grevil dashing past the defending, unarmed children, to get to the safe end of the bridge... then disappearing so that Victorique could play her part as super-strong-heroine... yeah, how nice of him. There were so many slip ups like that. I hope the rest of the series will be better and will go on at least at the level of previous episodes.

The first half wasn't bad though.

Ah, a nice closing to a nice arc. Next episode looks funny.

But what I got pissed off at is the ridiculous dialogue between Victorica and Kujou, too much screaming to go with it >.>

I had already suspected that the guy was the culprit, and that he was disguised as his poker buddy at the festival.

Kujou's fighting skills are so inconsistent >.> And it seems his eyes are really sensitive.

I have lots more to say but I can't be arsed so I'll stop here.

So I'm not too sure but Cordelia and that other guy are still alive?

But great Anime altogether so far, looking forward to Episode 9.

A couple questions,

How the hell was Victorique able to hold onto Kujo without being pulled off the edge herself? I mean seriously she can't way mor than 60 pounds.

Also where the hell was the inspector or that guy from the village when Victorique was desperately trying to save Kujo? lol

Though them explanation to the mysteries (especially the one regarding the three tourist) did kinda make me go huh?! the episode was great with all the action and she was able to prove Cordelia's innocence only to see her working with a possible antagonist. The fluff between the two and their development towards each other is really good too, but really. Friends? XD

It lacked the world renowned Japanese's attention to detail. Mystery stories should be full of detail.

Well, the whole mystery felt like it was too easy ^^'
Anyway, this show is rivaling imo with Mahou Shoujo for the first place of this season. I love them both and both keep me well entertained. Dunno bout' how others think though.
For starters, this episode was great...
Character development feels crucial. I may be the only one who sees it this way, but this show presents mysteries just for character development...it sort of gives the same feeling as Macross Frontier to be exact :D

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...
Also, yeah, I wasn't expecting for Cordelia to be alive. The OP scenes might be seen in the next episodes and from what was shown, Victorique will be taken by her 'family'...
Anyway, the preview to the next episode looks...cute xD
Can't wait for it :D
