This episode reminds me of that one Shakespearean-like story...where this guy paid/asked this poet to write poems for him to tell to this girl he liked outside her window at night. It turned out that the poet was the one who was in love with her and she found out.

I learned it from watching Wishbone in like the 5th grade lol

Fillers or not, I enjoyed it. This show will probably be long so I don't mind. I wonder when (if at all) lag is going to have his own relationship.

Agreed. I also thought about Lag and his potential relationship(s) since most of the filler (if they are indeed filler) episodes somehow all seem to be about love or loyalty.

The next one looks like it's the same as the special that was made a while back, "Light and Blue Night Fantasy". I wonder if they changed anything or if it will be exactly the same.

As far as recent filler episodes go, this was one of the better ones. The characters were enjoyable and the way the story unfolded nicely. And Lag didn't cry again.

Even though the last couple of episodes were pretty much fillers, I really enjoyed 'em.

I can't help but stare at Niche's facial expressions from time to time though. XD

Are they going to end with too much fillers? I like the anime, but kind of tired when there's too much fillers.

so lag yet again sticks his nose into a letter he shouldn't, but it all works out i guess

This show actually makes fillers enjoyable.
So when are they going to find Gauche..or even go on the hunt for him...or are they ever going to show him???

Mini rant here;


Anyway I thought this episode was boring, kind of stopped paying attention near the end.

I doubt they're going to do much with Gauche in the anime. You're probably better off reading the manga if you want to find out what happens.

For a filler, that was actually really enjoyable :)
Also, you can tell it's filler when Lag doesn't cry xD

It was fillers? I was too busy enjoying it to really care.

Its good to see an anime that does fillers well, unlike the more recent Bleach ones, they have all been horrible ='[

So the whole anime is going to feature "Lag and his adventures" ?
Love Lag but want the show to be more focused on Gauche. Disappearance of Gauche and his whereabouts is what keeps me interested in the show.
If this show dissapoints ~ its just sad. Especially after knowing Kuroshitsuji wont come out this month its just more sad.

Anyhow, I also enjoy these fillers, they're very light and sweet.
And wasn't the next episode the same as the OVA they released before the anime?

I'll have to agree on the part about sad. Not that I didn't like the episode. I actualy quite enjoyed it. I just want them to go back to the story soon. I really like both tho, just realy miss gauche T.T

You know I haven't read that far into the manga, and I don't relize these are fillers, which means Pierrot finally got a good filler writer.

Anyway for this episode, it was nice, yeah, but I feel really bad for Joey.

So. Even thought this was a filler, I really enjoyed it. It had me going, "AWWW!" out loud at the end, and that's always good.

To be honest, the Letter Bee fillers don't bug me near as much as some other ones do (no, not Bleach). I do think that they should've waited a big longer to animate Tegami Bachi though. The manga just isn't long enough yet to really accomodate a series in the way that we want it (with no fillers).

That said, I'm still enjoying the series.

Shakespeare is close...closer still is Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac ...only better because the right guy ends up with the girl.

This is a filler correct? Haha well than the writer for this episode totally ripped the page from the movie Hachi. I havent seen the movie but the trailer is nearly identical to the premise of a loyal dog waiting for their master to come back, but never do. Anyways just reminded me of that. But good filler nonetheless.

I preferred this episode to the previous one. My only complaint is that Lag keeps butting into other people's business, and no one questions his actions. Sure, this hero complex, and the fact that he cares so much about random strangers is what makes him tick, and it's a cool trait to have in a character, even if it's not unique. It's that no one bats an eye that's the issue, and he himself doesn't really think about it either.

I guess there was that one episode a little while ago where another letter bee told him that the bee's job is just to deliver the letters without meddling, but he was framed as a jerk. Man, I don't know. I guess I just want a little more introspection on Lag's part, but at least he's not flawless. Anything is better than a Gary Stu.

I had a feeling that there was a common theme, I'm glad someone knew how to phrase it.

The fillers has an obsession with romance for some reason. At least the rich guy wasn't an asshole this time lol. So when will they go back to the original plot?
