Ah, it's cute to see Viola being animated. She's an important character in the series after all and she had a purpose to come visit the Bocchan.

Got to see some of Bocchan's skills on the piano. I like how they threw in such a teasing scene between him and Alice in that segment. Bocchan's life just can't seem to be quiet anymore. Also, I like the music/soundtrack they used for this episode.

Bocchan's butler Rob is such a nice servant who took care of him after he was kicked out of the family, though Alice is the same. A hard worker Rob is one despite his old age, though he can come off as being creepy.

Being a pianist and writing a requiem to pass the time, though Alice's petite body can't avert off Bocchan's eyes. A ballad rather than a requiem a song composed for Alice, and that's some hard work...though a kiss can''t be given.

Bocchan's sister Viola comes to see him out of surprise and out of his family's reach, though she can be a pain to handle with her girlyness. More than trying to help Bocchan with alleviating his curse, her fascination with Rob only paints her as someone who likes old men.

Hah, Bocchan getting scared over an abandoned black cat, and the hijinks are funny with the purposeful clothes scratching on her breasts, giving full peek towards him. Give it a home outside the mansion they must.

My favourite is the last segment: the dance between Bocchan and Alice, which more than already watched parts of this through the PV teaser, the full picture is such a sweet and nice moment with the use of the soundtrack, even for a "pretend" dance.

The delights of being in love with a cursed Duke is staggering and heartwarming.

Bob, the butler is a nice guy. I like his character. We also got to meet Bocchan's sister, Viola who's really cute but has quite a girlish nature, not surprised there. LOL. Also, Alice teasing Bocchan here and there was so funny to me. He's a boy after all. He can't deny his feelings for her.

Also, Bocchan is pretty good with his piano. And, that dance was great as well with that amazing OST. Overall, another good episode. I love Alice and Bocchan's chemistry so much. Still, Alice is my favorite so far in this show.

I wonder why everybody has black fingernails and if Alice is somehow related to the witch. Maybe It has to do with the dance between their ancestors

"tsuki ga kirei desu ne" wow! Bocchan said this phrase. I've wondered that both of them are knowing the meaning behind this phrase or not.
I love how Alice always teased and flirted Bocchan.

Rob sure is diligent, but sadly, he does have an underlying back issue that hinders his work. Viola is here and, her talkative personality is quite loveable. Though it wouldn't seem like it, Viola is actually into older men. A lovely dance scene paired with a fitting and excellent Ost to go with it, simply lovely.

The imouto wasn't as bad as I feared, even kinda adorable. But who would've thought that she got the hots for Rob xD

Dancing scene was pretty cute.

0 development in plot except now we know:
1. Butler is odd character
2. Viola has fetish for old men
3. Bocchan can play piano

Will this be the pacing of the show. I at least expected some hint as to how curse can be broken in this ep. If not at least some flash back in which we can see the witch and the events of the curse. This is very dissatisfactory.

Alice may be best girl of the season so far man, she’s so damn funny. Her interactions with the duke are great. Her confession was really well done.

Viola is cute but who would’ve expected her to have a thing for older guys lol.

I’m really glad I gave this show a shot, I normally don’t watch CGI anime but this is a very good anime. Character interactions are great.

This anime/manga is also slice of life since they also narrate the daily life of the protagonists.
It is also true that the anime only put the most important chapters since there are many "filler" chapters as you would say.Oh and the characters that you present here will have their future relevance related to the main plot xd

Another good episode. Surprised to know that this little girl is into old men. At least it's reassuring that there's someone that doesn't hate Bocchan for his curse

I recall seeing the title and the artist of the song in the credits (approximately 22:45 on Funimation, the section with CV: in it indicates the details of the song you were looking for) but I do not know an inkling of Japanese. what I can say is that there's some sort of CD album to be released late-September which includes the soundtrack and character songs, and assuming it's a character song you are looking for... well there it will be

This episode was really good and enjoyed it! Rob is a good character who is a hard worker and trusts bocchan like Alice, and he really brings some more action in his house. So far no main plot has been showed but I’m ok with that sense it was only episode two. I love the animations for the cat btw they seemed much more realistic than any other cat I’ve seen, I love this studio and their understanding of cgi. Also that dance scene was the most heartwarming scene yet, I love the relationship of Alice and bocchan, beautifully written.

Hmm, wonder if the curse is somehow related to his grandfather and Alice's mother, or her family's relationship to his in general. Timeline wise it might not make sense to be because of an affair(?). But, I dunno, don't think they would include that for no reason.

you have no idea how long the manga readers had to wait to get some kind of progression in the curse part of the story .it took a long while to get that first hint . but ulimately the manga's appeal isnt so much the solution to the curse , but the interaction between the Main characters ( and later on many other characters' as well ) .

its hard to tell how this anime is going to go . Because , while it wont be easy to tell for an anime-only , they are actually adapting chapters as they please .
like the 1st episode would have 1st chapter, then maybe some scenes from the 10th chapter , then from the 12th chapter etc.

but if i was to hazard a guess , i would say maybe in like 4th , 5th or 6th ep we would get some kind of step into that direction . but dont get your hopes up at all , the mangaka took his sweet time as well .

I liked this episode more much more than the previous one. The introduction of the butler Rob adds some good comedic situations and while I’m not the biggest fan of the sister, she at least adds something to take away from the basic teasing formula. It will be interesting to see if I drop it after the next episode.

Useless fact: "Viola" is the Portuguese name of an instrument that is a smaller guitar. In Brazil these instruments are played by the "Duplas Sertanejas", mostly in the state of Goiás, my homeland.

And now I lose all the concentration in the anime Everytime I hear Viola's name

Bocchan is sure surrounded by weirdos. It's nice to see not all of his real family abandoned him after all so I hope Viola appears more later.

Ah, the 3d butler arrived. Good change of pace honestly, together with the arrival of annoyingly little sister, Viola. She prefer the old man, Rob, which is giving me a bit of chuckle. However, they still don't forget about the black maid, Alice, when she got lots of portion, especially in the end with the 3d no-touching dance. Fine enough i'd say, better impression than the first episode, and the backsound piano actually nice without even interrupted with the ed sequence.

Hopefully you get the same end lives like that abandoned cat, Shinigami Bocchan....

Yeah, another great and funny episode, now we have a new face and another unexpected guests at the house. Rob is really awesome and loyal servant even at his old age body, Viola cuteness that Bocchan can't handle and she is much prefer on old men. (Yes I'm still safe)

Damn, perverted cute cat have some nasty hands. Bocchan feelings getting have some development towards Alice? well let's see in the future.

I thought Viola would be an unpleasant character at first, but she turned out to be quite nice. She's talkative and likes feminine things, but she's quite cute. Especially when she's shy while talking to Rob lolll.

I really liked the last segment, the part when they started dancing and so on. Even without a touch, the piano music along with the moonlight was enough to create a romantic atmosphere.

I noticed both the first and second episodes had a really sweet ending... it felt like I consumed so much sugar lol hahaha I can't stop smiling and this feeling makes me happy!

Another great and fun episode, with a sprinkle of depression. Alice and Bocchan deserves to touch each other damnit. Godbless the cat though, we got some nice jiggle action lmao. I like the introduction of Rob and Viola. Viola is cute, didn't expect her to like Rob though.

That dance was sad, you can tell that they really want to touch each other. But at least we got that wholesome confession at the end. Alice definitely best girl candidate this season. Looking forward to the next episode.

Wow this show is unexpectedly very sweet and wholesome. Unlike teasing animes previously, Alice actually shows affection and even the MC feels more well rounded than the standard airhead MC. CGI looks alright and even gives the show a somewhat fairytale like quality. Also, those piano inserts just complement the show really well. Really look forward to following episodes
