A weird dream she saw (?) (but seems like there's the cake that she made on the table, or probably because she ate the cake that she really did see it as dream) with "Maro" world. There's also a new Maro born. lol @ the conversation between her and each guys with Maro.

Finally, some of the marshmallow characters got some much-deserved screen time.

When Gilbert said, "Bonjour mademoiselle", it was very noticeable that his French
sounds extremely strange. It sounded almost nothing like Paris-style French, which
is normally considered to be the national standard.

However, France has many regional accents and dialects. One example are people
from the northern tip of France, right at the border with Belgium, close to the city of
Lille. They speak a dialect called "Ch'tis". Perhaps there is someone here who is
familiar with the regional language variation of France who can tell us where Gilbert
seems to be from.

I was like, "Now it has magic? Great." Glad it was a dream... or maybe not.

The new ED actually ain't that bad, I like it now.

Im not native French but I lived three years in Normandy and as far as I know it sounds more like north-eastern French. Maybe Nancy or even Dijon? But imho I dont think it has a clue with any 'real French accent'.

In any case French sounds terrible in general, the most people don't talk properly or talk waaaay too fast to sound pretty. Imho is Italian spoken by a native Italian and by a non-southern Italian woman almost always pretty. (Hey nothing personal!!) I don't know why I bring this up, lol!!

According to the official website for the series, there are eight marshmallow
characters, described here:
http://www.bonkoi.com/character/index_maro.html

If you right-click on any of the eight "maro" pictures, you can download it as
a 165x160 "png" image. It looks like it would be just about perfect for a MAL
or Twitter avatar image. I guess you'd have to shrink it down just a bit. MAL
forum avatars are allowed a maximum size of 100 x 125 pixels.

See here for their 165x160 pictures:
Mint: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/minmaro.png
Chestnut: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/kurimaro.png
Orange: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/oremaro.png
Grape: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/budomaro.png
Vanilla: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/maro.png
Chocolate: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/chocomaro.png
Strawberry: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/ichigomaro.png
Lemon: http://www.bonkoi.com/images/character/maro/ramumaro.png

In addition to their flavor, each marshmallow has its own personality, habits
and characteristics. For example, today we saw the strawberry marshmallow
riding on Sayuri's shoulder. It is an "itazurakko " (いたずらっ子) which means
something like "a mischievous boy", "a naughty boy" or "a rascal".

Astoundingly, all eight of the "marshmallow" characters are voiced by a single
voice actress: Osaka-born Sawako Hata (秦佐和子). See here for details:

Interesting, I remember she's that ex-AKB girl, who expressed interest in Seiyuu even when she was in the group.

It's astounding to see that way that Sawako Hata has exploded into the world of
voice acting. Yes, as Tsubasalover pointed out, she used to be in AKB48. So of
course it was a no-brainer that she would be able to get hired for the anime series
AKB0048. However, her next project was "Beyond the Boundary" (境界の彼方),
where she voiced SIX different minor roles! Since then, she has routinely been
doing leading roles. She is busy with tons of stuff, and I guess "Bonjour Koiaji" is
a small side project for her. However, her remarkable background lays to rest all
of my doubts that a single voice performer could do a proper job of voicing eight
main characters in one series. To my knowledge, that is the most ever for main
characters in a series. Note that the eight marshmallows are "main" characters
since they are featured on the "character page" on the official website.

Question: "Shawako" was born in Osaka. Do the marshmallows speak with a
noticeable Kansai-ben accent?

Isn't each Maro there to match a main character's personality or that's only me?

Sayuri: Maro (Vanilla)
Ryo: Oremaro (Orange)

Gilbert: Kurimaro (Chestnut)

Yoshinosuke: Budomaro (Grapes)

Mitsuki: Minmaro (Mint)
Ibuki: Ichigomaro (Strawberry)
Jin: Ramumaro (Lemon)


There's even this set of cute keychains to match Maros with main characters. However the strawberry Maro appeared in this episode is somehow different in colors, it's like a mix between the strawberry+vanilla Maro. Also game seems to feature two more maros/flavors, macaroon & matcha.
