The story was interesting in this episode but the ending was rushed, but that's to be expected when you only have one episode.

I was completely thrown off at the end of that episode. 5 men looking to marry the woman they love and she chose a man that did not appear in the episode at all!?

WTF!??

Otherwise, an okay episode.

The ending totally killed the mood and awesomeness.
Otherwise, Yes, seeing so many phantom books was a great thing.

Found my favorite character, anyway. Magicians are cool.

And he conceded so gracefully. He's my hero and I want to grow up to be like him.

anyone think that the man who came to pick her up is the magician.....it is very highly likely.

she not only had the knowledge but asked a bunch of people to bring her the very books that would defend her precisely against the magician? knowledge that the magician gave her? it seems to me that this experiment of his had a bigger meaning, namely to find if she really exists.

Actually, for me the ending was exactly what I thought would be. The whole episode was like a gag routine... or perhaps it was precisely a gag routine...

Anyway, I think this episode was SO BAD it was good.

Though I would understand if others think it was simply bad.

I thought she was gonna choose Huey as well, and I'm sure the magician will be returning.

Also, the art in this episode was kinda weird, anyone else noticed that? Still, decent episode.

Could be possible, but my guess would be that the Baron is another humunculus especially if you notice the dead expression in his eyes at the close up shot with Viola. Either way, we will see more of the magician for sure.

I just wish the show had more budget and more eps, I like the series, but all these episode are so damn rushed :(

Was glad to get the full sequence of reaching into Dalian's chest this time, the last couple adventures were high on the mystery and devoid of any actual fighting. Seeing not one but five Phantom Books was pretty awesome, and helped the suitors overcome the downside of having to read aloud while the Count could just hardcast. I may have to rewatch this one since I had company, so my attention was split, but I enjoyed it overall :)

This show is like, not very interesting at all, but there's something about it that still manages to make it enjoyable. Unlike some other similar shows we've had recently.
I must say I was kind of hoping Armand would die though. Damn, I can't remember the last time I saw someone behaving like an idiot in the same way he did.

Damn, this episode was full of bullshit. Something made it quite enjoyable though, dunno what really. I can't drop it anyway, as there's Dalian, also there might be moar Noto Mamiko later. <3 That's not very probable looking at how episodes are constructed though. So i hope some main plot kicks in between those episodic stories soon.
Oh yeah, that silver haired girl wich talking with young Hyuey(that's him right?) inside the Bibliotheca. I need some more info on her too. I guess that'd come along with the 'main plot' actually.
And did i mention Dalian. <3

Isn't that girl's hair pink? >_>

So Huey doens't remember those things, because in the first episode he said he wanted to find the Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian, so if he once was there, the only explanation is that he doesn't have memories of it

I find that I really enjoy the characters, the plot, and the effects of the phantom books, but as soon as they open the gate, it instantly gets boring and hard to follow. It's a shame that's presented as such an important part of the show.

Yes, i felt bad for the guys, they struggled themselves so much to get what that woman wanted. ;w;

I'm kinda disappointed with the episode itself, the last one was so awesome so i had so many expectations for this one.

Well the story for this episode was interesting. Armand is the definition of an idiot, I lol at Dalian kicking him down though. She just makes every episode so much better.

For some reason I also thought that Viola was going to pick Huey at the end, knew those 5 wasn't going to get chosen. Definitely wasn't expecting some random guy that just showed up though wtf... We got trolled, nice ;p face Viola.

The silver-haired girl in the Bibliotheca has been interesting me for a while now, I reallly wanna know more about her.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't feel like it was on par with previous episodes, but I had a lot of fun with it and laughed my ass off at the end, so as long as I was entertained, I figure they did a pretty decent job with it.

After all, the point is entertainment.

Started to mess around with Stitching and I admit that Viola is gorgeous as follows,

and as well as in the spoiler
it was really fun seeing this episode.

Mainly the fight as follows,

was quite something. That magician guy is dangerous! He can use elements and manipulate Mercury among the many other things he may be able to do. I do wonder where he got the forbidden knowledge other than etching it in his mind from books.

Ugh. This Ep was interesting at first, but the non-funny gags ruined it. It was cool seeing the other guys reading the phantom books, but the ending was so... ARGGH!

"I've come to take you back my daughter!" then, "Oh well. You win. Have fun getting married."

It was so anti-climactic. Then the ending. Ugh. At least she didn't confess to Huey.

There's no true plot yet. I actually watched this episode, then realized the last episode I saw was 3.
