| Oh..Anastasia's identity. Looks like she's actually taken on a new identity as a boy. Yeah, this episode does show that Marie is more intuitive than she looks. She and Kyros were cute as hell this episode though lol |

| Wow, they actually did it. Most romance anime don't make it there, even after 3 seasons, lol. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Silly Marie causing her own drama by canceling the engagement, but at least she also reversed that before the end of the episode and it got us the hilarious reveal that best girl Mio was just doing loops near the castle until she's came to her senses. It also got us that scene of Marie and Kyros in bed together, which was kind of detail free here in the anime but I have to wonder if there was more to it in the source of material. Like, why and what they got up to. I assume Anastasia showed up at the end thinking she was rescuing her sister from the cruel noble she was unwillingly betrothed to, little does she expect the diabetic cuteness she'll be forced to endure once she sees the two of them together. I'm glad we finally got the Anastasia reveal and they didn't stretch that out until the very last episode. |

| “I won’t lie to myself. I want you! Please give all of yourself to me” 😭. Ahhhh I love them sm I went from wanting to turn my tv off and throwing the remote to smiling so hard at the end of this episode. It was frustrating, but that’s how dealing with someone who’s been the victim of emotional and physical abuse for so long is. It’s not always a linear path to healing, there’s triggers and set backs and you just have to be patient. Kyros is the perfect man for Marie BUUUUUT, I do agree with Mio that he was cowardly today. This was the first time I’ve ever wanted him to NOT respect Marie’s wishes and to go against what she says because he 1000 percent should’ve encouraged her to at least think things over thru the night. I’m not going to blame Marie too much for getting insecure and thinking Kyros might leave her for Anastasia, you have to remember she was told for like 20 years that her sister was better than her at everything and how worthless she is. It’s only natural you’d develop a severe insecurity complex. Part of Kyros’ development will need to be being more assertive and telling Marie what she needs to hear in situations like that. WAIT THOSE LAST FEW MINS??? First, did they DO IT??! Or did Marie and Kyros just fall asleep together? Secondly, Anastasia showing up like that in the middle of the garden wtf?? I feel like the accident may have made her lose her memories, I think she may have genuinely developed the personality of a ruffian but we’ll see next week lol. It’s good to know she is alive and Marie finally has seen her at least. |

| Marie's changed so much for the better, poor Anastasia didn't even recognize her. :D @Marinate1016 I wouldn't say going back. Rather, Marie has finally managed to overcome all the suppressed fears that were still holding her back, and truly accepted who she is and Kyros' love. |

| Honestly cannot blame Anastasia. I would assume those parents had basically sold her off against her will and go on a mission to rescue her too once I got the chance |
| There was so much drama these last 2 episodes that being honest Marie and Anastasia's reunion was a bit anti climatic but at least it happened, I was disliking how we would need to wait yet more episodes. |

I don't get the logic behind the thinking that if her sister is alive, then she need to gtfo... after all this time and she still think that? if she wants to go home then I will send her ass home
first they tried to get her sister to come, then she declined, and now all the sudden she showed up in their mansion, how interesting

Kai200X said: I don't get the logic behind the thinking that if her sister is alive, then she need to gtfo... after all this time and she still think that? if she wants to go home then I will send her ass home When you grow up hearing every single day untruths about yourself, you can internalize them. To Marie, Anastasia is the best, the most preferred, the one that anyone would want over her because that's what she's been taught. She has no value in herself and probably didn't fully believe any of Kyros' flirtations 100% because of this. It wouldn't surprise me if the people at school also treated her badly because the place she comes from likely believes in outdated superstitions and everyone Mio talked to when she was undercover didn't seem to like Marie much. I grew up in a similar situation though all of this happened to me at school rather than home and even years after graduating, I'm still unlearning to think of myself in ways that was hammered into me during my formative years. Marie is lucky she's finding a community that doesn't view her in that way because I think having people who can point out the abuse you went through as a child is wrong, helps you overcome the lies ingrained into you by other people. |
| I know Marie's got a lot of trauma baggage but this is starting to get frustrating now. |
| What a retarded episode. Huge waste of my time. They have been teasing the sister being alive for half the season at this point. Just fucking get on with it. |
 |
| If was just the reassurance that Kyros loves Marie, would be fine , romance after all. But causing all that stir of cancelling the wedding, and not at least going in person to check before going extremes, was too much, way too silly. Hey, Anastacia really put the big boys pants, and gone what I believe , save her sister. |

| Little dicey this episode but in the end...they Smashed. Cinema |

| Kind of a waste of half of an episode. That was a whole lot of drama for no reason just to end the episode where it did. The whole scene of her running away then coming back should have been cut. Great episode otherwise. |

My only guess about the sister, she never wanted to be royalty girl, and marry. from past episode, about her seemed tomboish
| @Gameranime88 Yeah, but I never expected that she would cut her hair... Strong woman :) |

| "The carriage is just moving around the castle." If this was Mio's idea (again), then I don't understand why she isn't considered one of the best females this season yet x Wtf they actually did it ijbol |

| I understand why Marie would feel like that, I just wish she wouldn't be so impulsive in her decisions Anastasia is alive! I'm so glad |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Worst episode so far filled with unnecessary drama |
| Oh my god, so Anastasia really is alive, not just some doll Jacob prepared for the Shaderans, but an actual human being, just like the rest of the characters. What an illegal cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see how Anastasia and Marie reminisce about their childhood memories together. |
| Damn these idiots! Couldn't they wait until getting married? And why did Anastasia decide to show herself? I thought she was avoiding Marie. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Okay, the drama was a bit unnecessary, but at least it was resolved in a pleasing way. And it's really Anastasia after all... bur with Amnesia or something? |
| soooo this episode's drama was fucking stupid |
 |
Mio, the best maid of this season!!! PERIOD!!! Everyone complaining about the drama and stuff, shut it. And they finally show Anastasia as... |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| I was so angry at the half way mark that I had to pause. I couldn't hear anything because I was too busy calling Marie every form of 'dumb bitch' that I could come up with. I am so tired of wish washy, week willed, cowering, socially inept, no confidence having FLs. How many damn times is she going to have to be told he made a mistake? How many ways is he going to have to show her that he wants her the way she is. WTF is wrong with the chick. I wanna be Cher from Moonstruck, slap Marie and yell, "Snap out of it!" Ok time to push play. edit: She had an epiphany. FINALLY! I was still hoping for a slap. At least Cellie had the guts to call her stupid. |

| This episode was too much drama for nothing, also I think that Marie slowly getting her confidence is much better than forced drama with an obvious conclusion. |
 |
| OR they could have, you know GONE to see the blonde apprentice! And resolved everything rather quickly. Seems like amnesia, eh? How could she not recognize all that red hair? I think this show could have been more fun. If the 2 "bad maids" had been sent by the Prince to toughen her up? If the driver had actually helped Anastasia escape her parents & was covering for her. Of course then everyone would be so nice, except for her nasty parents. Her brother is probably being forced to dress like the oldest sister now, looks like mental issues run in the family! |
| this was the worst episode of the show by far. dropped to 7/10 |
 |
| FINALLY !!!!!! That's what I call a good romance, you understand what happens without showing too much, and that's it! A lot of anime romances didn't get it and just kept the status quo and that's frustrating soooooo much!!! |
 |
| An orphan for an apprentice, and Anastasia being taken in as a new identity, that could not be anymore coincidental...right? With the mandatory summons not being replied to, Marie continues her stride doing for the better, but after learning Smith Norman's story, it's clear that she cannot put the matter aside that's causing all of her distractions. And so, the artisan is called forth to Kyros to question his apprentice Arthur, though the young teenager did not accompany him. And hearing from Norman, brings about a sigh of relief that they've maybe misheard, but the features that only Marie knows, further confirms that Anastasia IS that Arthur, which she instantly goes missing from the Granado Castle to allay her fears in their betrothal room. And the fear that quickly took root within Marie's heart to tell Kyros that she WILL NEVER best her sister and thus, return to her household, he has no choice but to accept her request. Still, Kyros can't accept that Marie is leaving him, as the Cinderella that got away before her weakling Prince Charming could ever claim her, everything is turning for the worst as he prioritizes her needs before his. But, Marie, having seen the light that she wants Kyros and everyone in the Granado Castle more than ever, even her cowardly self admits that she's weak too, and the two reconcile quickly for some quickfire drama alright. The "sexual" moment between the two, and Anastasia's reveal to the couple, it's (de)pressing at best... |
