----------------------------------------
I am seriously only still watching this show just to see if we'll actually get a kiss this season.

EDIT:
All right see? See what you can accomplish when you make an episode that isn't riddled in fanservice? You get a pretty decent episode that doesn't completely suck.

Alice was in mega-cute mode this episode. "Bruder" Awww...

*facepalm* Don't tell me you just watched it right now.

I'll be honest, I forgot about Shute. What an ass though... I think he was like that in the first season though. Alice was quite cute, pyon-ing around.

Though only now I realize we have a Maria-san and a Nagi. What next? However, I really want to know what happened to the second maid rank...

The episode was decent with cute Alice and the maid team and all, but it went downhill when Shuuto or whatever his name is showed up. I mean, seriously, that drama was so forced. It was a stupid plot device to get Yuuto looking all high and mighty and noble, and Alice to say a few words. That was so corny! I was bored out of my mind.

However, I'm too interested in the 2nd maid rank and I hope the next episode builds on that and will be better.

This was not as bad as the previous episode but the directing was terrible. Not that the generic prince returned but that Yuuto did NOTHING while Alice was bullied. He did not protect his and everyone's honor until the last moment which was obvious to stall the episode. Realistically, if he did give his crappy speech before, everyone would back him up anyway.

Ironically, I hate him and everyone else for not protecting their honor as maids and butlers because that's part of their being! It's common sense. Yuuto is as much fail as everyone else but not Alice.

Next time: "My body is feeling hot"

Haruka gets a cold (as per her sneeze at the end), Yuuto to look after her? Mika needs to make a new guidebook.

EDIT: Oh, and dunno why Alice didn't just beat the guy up. I mean...that's what she was hired for, right...?

We have a tsubasalover of the future almost.

Haruka sneezed because other people were talking about her... that's like common sense in the anime world. If Haruka is sick in the next episode, it better not be because she was watching Nocturne Girl's School Lacrosse Club while fully clothed.

I don't think Alice's role as a maid is to defend herself, but rather the household. Besides, she felt responsible for the mishap and her morale (for a lack of a better word) was weakened in this circumstance.

I must say that it was a good episode to give information on the maid element. I was also glad that idiot Shuuto got taugh a lesson. He was so arrogant near the end of the first season. The triplets are quite a surprise that I never saw in anime yet. Alicetia was so cute in this episode especially when she talked and with that Geloriann-X plushie. I really had a angry reaction to Shuuto spitting on Alicetia, how could you do that to a maid like Alicetia? Anyone else had that reaction? Yuuto's words "They are all kind,warm and always thinking what's best for us. They are all irreplaceable,valuable people!" brought some warm feelings to me. It probably hit me in emotions more deep that Yuuto made Alicetia speak when it took Nanami/Hazuki half a year to do that and when Alicetia said Yuuot-sama. Really nice episode.

Yeah what was with that? What happened to #2 rank and why such a scary reaction from all? Did that person die? I wish to know more.
On the other side, Shuuto's face here made me so happy, especially after pouring wine on Yuuto's head, spitting on Alicetia and insulting with words many times everyone.

Yes, but I still find it was much more cute when she pronounced Yuuto-sama.

Better episode than last week, but to call it a good one, nah.
I'd rather like to see Nocturne Girl's School Lacrosse Club as an actual anime, thank you very much. Where is my 'otaku' Haruka? Instead we get some brainless service and for the rest just.. blah. I'm glad Alice was there, even though her va must be bored half the time, she is still cute. Would have been nice to see her kick that guys' ass, oh well.
Seriously, I don't like the way this show is heading, so far, biggest disappointment of this season!

I wasn't excepting much after the first 4 episodes but this episode was actually pretty good, relying very little on fan service and having some decent comedy for a change. Overall, i'll give it a 5/5, great episode.

See? I knew they can make a decent episode without the fanservice to draw attention. Overall, pretty nice. Alice was cute with "koku! koku!" Shuuto, of course, is an asshole (and I think he's an even bigger asshole than he was in season 1). The only part of this episode that I did not like was how everyone got their revenge on Shuuto; that part was so forced that it was silly.

I guess I also have another minor complaint and that is Haruka is not in this episode enough. I graded Spice and Wolf II down because the star of that show was not in the show as much, and I will do it to this show if it continues.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Finally, the a-hole named Shuuto Southerland (remember him? He is the a-hole who insulted Yuuto in Episode 12 in the first season) finally gets his justice served... by Nanami and Hazaki and also rest of the maids and butlers at the party... Remember, it's not right to pick on little girls much younger than you... Alice-chan in the end is so cute.... errr...


Another good thing is that this episode didn't have much fanservice, which is a good thing because 3 episodes had alot of fanservice which made me wonder if Diomedea is having a field day with adding fanservice... I hope they keep it like this for the rest of the season and keep the fanservice moderately or at minimum.

It's probably something stupid. They build up a false sense of suspense and then try and build a story around it. Then when the time comes to reveal the secret, it turns out being something stupid. That's how stuff like this always happens in shows like this :(. For once I want them to pull a twist and be like "No2 is Haruka's mother!".

i was thinking the exact same thing.. i mean.. they wouldn't be scared like that if it wasn't her..
anyway.. nice ep.. not amazing but still nice.. however, the things that are happening reminds me of ai yori aoshi ~enishi~, the sequel of ai yori aoshi.. there is not much focus on the main couple but on the other characters instead.. hope it won't fully turn out like that coz i did not like it..

Yuuto didn't physically defend Alice from Shuuto because he was acting as a butler should behave. This isn't Dragonball Z; it's a party of maids and butlers who are supposed to behave, even when a spoiled brat son of a master makes trouble. Yuuto sacrificed his dignity by apologizing for Alice, something which takes more courage than lashing out and hitting Shuuto. The significance of his action is more meaningful to people who are familiar with the traditional Japanese views of honor and rank.

Shuuto was supposed to be at the party in order to learn how to treat people better, to have some care for their feelings instead of treating everyone 'beneath' him as insignificant. Yuuto gave him a clue without causing him to lose face completely. Shuuto can either choose to appreciate that sentiment or keep being the same inconsiderate jerk he was at the Christmas party. This episode is one of my three favorites, not only of this season (so far), but maybe of the previous season as well.

I'm all for moe Haruka scenes, but I don't mind an occasional episode where the main seiyuu gets to take a break and the story focuses on someone else. That shouldn't be anyone's sole criteria for downgrading the overall score. I give it a 4.5/5.

Hnn, that was about as "entertaining" as the first four episodes. But at least it had lots of maids. And the Rank 5 maid, Maria, did she have the same voice as Maria from Hayate? Tanaka Rie? That was neat (Nevermind, ANN lists someone else as her seiyuu), and I suppose the koku koku loli maid was cute too.

But as a show called Nogizaka Haruka, this show might need a little more of Nogizaka Haruka, imo.

Pretty good episode. Nothing really happened, but it didn't have anything that really annoyed me like some of the previous eps, so whatever (yeah, no Haruka didn't bother me this time, no idea why).

I really, really could have used to see Yuuto punch that guy in the face, though. Even I would have actually hit him after that shit, and I'm a huge pussy.
