THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Most likely the best fan service episode but make no mistake, it was the most natural one I have seen in a while.
Lots of amazing expressions from Alive among them the following,

Alive being an amazing manipulating person in the bribing area with Yune’s kimono. I loved the expressions of Alice in the spoiler
these happy ones are something that really makes the MOE stand out of Alice IMO. Her sister is nice too.

In regards to the most amazing soft/innocent fan service,
  • the one of Alice in the spoiler
    sure revealed a skin tone I like IRL with women except they are hard to come by.

  • The one of Yune in the spoiler
    was natural too but the one where her back is revealed when Claude walks in on her here, is probably somewhat more sexy, don’t know but there is something there that catches attention just like the tone of Alice’s skin caught mine.
In general another episode that just got better and this series keeps getting better. It’s all good. More later maybe.

Yune and Alice fanservice, also wet kimono to finish it off.

Yune can cook really good, I would love that dish she had.

Alice has a very sly personality but still has class and some prissy moments like most rich girls her age. Camille is rather gentle, sweet, and kind, nice cat she had. Alice is a peristant one, following Yune through town until she went with her.

Yune and Alice hugging pushes the moe meter beyond the scale.

Cute fangs of a sort from Yune and Alice all through the episode.

5/5

another 5 years of my life lost...Yune is a dangerous existence that must be dealt with carefully...

Alice was exactly what I figured, rich and arrogant....yet lovable and cute as well!

This series continues being great! Cant wait for ep 5!

I love Alice, no matter how much of a rich, spoiled girl is.
Her typical fashion sense is lovely and her reactions are just adorable. That evil look she harbors is also a great addition.

She knows what she wants and will use anything in her disposal to get it and I admire her for it.

I watched this episode while eating my favorite vanilla ice cream. Maybe I should check my blood sugar levels and teeth tomorrow. The amount of SWEEETT I ingested today probably reached dangerous levels lol.

Loved Alice's scheming personality. I wonder what sort of underhanded tactics she's going to use to get Yune to live with her. Each time she said she wanted to 'omochikaeri' Yune, I also couldn't help agreeing with her wholeheartedly.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Alice trying to get Yune is interesting. lol @ her imagination to Japanese in limited to the ukiyoe!!

Alice vs. Claude!! and Yune wants to talk to Alice.

When Yune said she needs to return feelings to the guys, Alice used the kimono (returning free instead of Claude buying it, saying it's impossible). Yune still decided to come back.

lol @ Alice's expression when seeing Yune's urgent promise.

lol @ the part after ED.

Yune's going to get lost next ep.?

Amazing show.

Love all the characters, Alice and Camille are cute :D! Can't wait to see more.

Most natural fan service indeed. Ahhhhhhh~ Lovely.


EDIT:

Btw, the next episode tittle is just 'Lost' in French. Although the Japanese tittle of it is indeed 'Lost Child'. Why are studio subs always so bad?

Infinitively Adorable.
Yune must be the best anime female lead of 2011.
and i want her to marry Claude like... now!

Claude with his worried face for Yune was so kawai. Awww. *melts*

Alice is not bad;D i like her evil laugh and she looks cute, but her sister is even more gorgeous.

I don't think soy sauce smells bad at all. But soy sauce and cheese would taste horrid, I'm sure.
Yune was cute as always. I found Alice reaaally annoying the whole episode, but she was okay in the final scene. I'm hoping she keeps improving.
Another brilliant episode <3

Same problem but for many series not just this one. I have so many things to say that I never have the damn time to write it all properly. Even this episode, although the fan service was very impressive solely on the directing it used. The outside and designs are top notch too. Not many animes are good at doing really old stuff. Gosick was not bad but this is far far more realistic.

totally agree with you. The fun fact is that the mangaka of Ikoku, made the art of Gosick ;D
i personally think you do a great job commenting the eps:)

and just like u say, i seriously agree, not every anime is able to make a good job portraying old stuff. (ok, victorian emma romance was nicely done, but it was boring). Here they were very accurate not just on the details, but also, the fact they put a perfect french narrator.
Im very sad to know this masterpiece will only have 12 eps. T_T

I agree so much! And it's not a bad thing either, it's just so peaceful that I get lost in everything that happens and before I know it the episode is over. -___- Also, Alice became a lot more likable this episode, it's good to know that she at least offered to give back the kimono, even if Yune denied it to protect Claude's promise.

She's not completely spoiled. After all, she offered the dress with no conditions after Yune refused the initial deal. Hopefully she can still grow in a proper direction with Yune's influence.

Alice somehow reminds me of Miya from Yumeiro Patissiere. (curiously enough, Alice's VA also did Ichigo's voice in that series)

Anyway, lol at Alice's laugh (coyote bark?) at the end, and Claude and Yune shivering.

Claude and Yune are simply adorable. I always thought it straight how small she is compared to him, but then the previous episode reminded me that Japanese people are generally shorter. Great episode! This is starting to become one of my favorites for this season.

Results of the first cheese x Japanese condiment taste test:

Cheddar x Soy Sauce 2/10
Cheddar x Tonkatsu 4/10
Cheddar x Umeboshi 6/10

Much to my surprise the Umeboshi won out. Feel free to try this at home.

^Haha, I know right? I'm always entertained reading his review XDD

It feels like Alice and Claude knew each other for a long time based on their interactions o_O Are they childhood friends or something? They both even know their full name and their interactions are not the usual rich-commoner style. They're just talking so casually as if they're close XDD

Ah Yune, it seems you have a weird tastebuds after all XDD But still adorable as always <333

PS: Alice reminded me or Rena from Higurashi with "Omuchikaeri" XDD I also want to take her home...

Cute episode. I think Alice is an interesting character--good for bringing a little conflict for the series, and I don't think she's all bad. Yune will rub off on her, I'm betting.

Full thoughts on the episode here on my blog.

I also thought of Rena's OMOCHIKAERI when Alice wanted to take Yune home with her. (And she did! LOL!)

Ended up having an interesting discussion about the history of bathing around the world with my roommates because of this episode...

Another cute episode. Alice has said the "Taken home" phrase we are all thinking and saying the last few episodes.
I think Alice is a fun character and is good for the show because it needs a character like her to put some spark and keep it from becoming a little boring.
Any hate to her is really unjustified and is just a pre-condition opinion from the moment they realized a rich spoiled girl will appear.

I find it a little funny how Japanese find most American and Europeans to be blonds with blue eyes when in reality they most of them really aren't like that. Only the vast majority of Scandinavian people are like that in Europe.

Great episode. The kimono issue is still unresolved so probably it's the main plot of the series.

Alice turns out to be likeable than annoying to me. xD
