THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Another great episode. My main high points are Felicita Polar Opposite, MOE Nova and Felicita x Liberta whom I will support. He was the first to have GUTS OF STEEL to challenge her father. I give him props for that one. Felicita this episode made out MOE OVER 9000 killings. Very MOE and like 75% of the episode was still strongly scented of her. Which is good but bad for other things like fleshing out the guys. Here is what I though of this episode:

About the beginning, lovely start with Felicita in the spoiler
When I mention she is 75% of the time in this episode the start boosts a lot on that percentage. In fact the start shows Felicita in a rather MOE attractive clothing to much content of her male audience. Very lovely conversations with Nova and Luca. The little guy brawling in the spoiler
had its share of comedy. I liked a lot Debito in that part.

What ensued of Felicita kicking again in the spoiler
was rather of nice show along with her sudden meeting of Liberta and Nova. Nice intro of the Tarot card from the mother’s side. Nice drinking cups here and it makes you wonder why Dante’s is smallest.

About Felicita, what ensues is mainly a large story of finding out whose cat is whose. A rather cliche setup however it does give out some character development and sets out a lot Felicita x Nova/Felicita x Liberta. From loads of angles. Starting with a rather sudden wake up of Felicita in the spoiler
whom was rather nice but not too pleasant for her.

What follows is quite amazing. A nice development happens with Felicita x Liberta in the spoiler
which ultimately leads to the following,

Along with a close up of their hands holding in the spoiler
Nova there was not too thrilled of it despite not showing it at all. However Felicita noticed it with her facial expression. As such the cat rescue happens in the spoiler
along with Nova and Liberta fighting it out. Nice arguing there. Shows their BRO spirit.

Nova was hilarious getting in trouble for the cat in the spoiler
especially when he gets caught by the maids.

One of the parts that really shined with Felicita is the one in the spoiler
not only is Felicita happy there, gets scolded by Luca, is surprised of it and gets to see Liberta/Nova headbutting themselves. She also happens to kick them and POUT! Now that is quite a part that is nice. Moreover she pets the cats in the spoiler
which shows a nice MOE side to her along with Jolly barging in. His Tarot being revealed, tells more of his powers and character. While Felicita was happy, Liberta/Nova got jealous.

About thee end, it comes out that 3 parts got cramped up full of nice stuff. First one being the whole Pace eating and Debito’s bar lounging in the spoiler
while Pace was funny with his eating. Debito did a nice pro job of bar tending.

Second part of this last segment yields out the following,

WOW! GIRL IS HOT! That is one heck of woman aright. Along with the spoiler
of her intro. The gang is pretty lucky to have found the owner of the cat and it happens she has the same eyes as the cat.

Last part of Felicita being in that dress in the spoiler
made me hnnnnnnnnnghhhhhh *dies* Too MOE there emitting from her. Way too much. It was hard to contend oneself of that.

The last walk, that long last stroll in the spoiler
kind of had a heavy air around. It was serious but it did not look like it to me. However there was a last once of serious between Felicita and Liberta whom I think might a sign of them getting together but remains to see. Luca is hilarious here.

About the after credits, that part yields out Nova MOE in the spoiler
that itself should have loads of girls cheering on.

While Felicita in the spoiler
got totally opposite to what Polarity she was during the whole episode, MOE! In this part she wants to kill and is rather scary TBH. Still a development episode this remains. Hoping next one feature more action.

Main guys who serves the girl reintroduce themselves to her.

Yonaga-san's character saved the kitten, which got lost. Hard time catching it, which it automatically to the girl.

Trying to find out about the cat. She used her power to find about the owner. The owner lend her dress. Helping out and seeing people's smile. Yonaga-san's character still against her power, about looking through people's heart without their permission.

Yonaga-san's character singing for today's "crime".

Can't believe I missed the 'dating sim' and 'shoujo' tags. It all makes sense now.

Screw the synopsis and the duels, let's just go with kittens, perfume and cheap tricks no one cares about. Most likely one the worst anime episodes I've fought my way through.

When the blonde thanked them I just couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing. I sort of pity the people who have to work with this.

Jeez everyone should stop thinking its action just cuz its mafia. -_-
I for one give this a 6/5.

if you people stop thinking 'omg its mafia it must only have action' and enjoy it for the slice of life and comedy it presented in this episode, you'll enjoy it.

Indeed the Feli x Liberta moments were fairly nice but overall the episode was lacking and left me for the most part searching for an anime to entertain.

This doesn't change a fact that main plot is about fighting, duelling and winning.If they want us to watch ''cute'' boys saving cats they should just write so in synopsis.
Look at poster, everyone is holding weapons...so scary!.Look at opening, fighting scenes everywhere, knives, guns.

Jolly is probably in the running for the best looking Alchemist in media, at this point in time, and whoever his va is, is pretty nice. Im glad they are giving him and the other family members screentime, even with the extensive focus on Nova and Liberta. Really like cheering both on, probably more so Liberta as he is a bit better than Nova, however with the after credits portion Nova great singing!.

They made Felicita so strong, though hopefully Liberta and Nova, are too.

Being a shoujo romance does not justify wasting 1/12th of the whole series just dealing for a damn cat...

It's perfectly ok if the show has little emphasis to battles and stuff - that is to be expected from a shoujo series - or plot - that is to be expected by a harem - but it has to put emphasis on SOMETHING... through the whole episode they were simply chasing after a cat, and then said cat's owner... there was no comedy, no romance, no drama, no action, no plot, nothing, just a girl, a cat and a bunch of guys running around. Except the first part where they introduced the characters... for the SECOND time, because apparently they had nothing better to fill in those minutes and decided to just repeat what they'd already shown in the 1st episode for good measure...

The episode was simply a filler, and a filler of the worst kind at that, one that simply wastes an episode and adds nothing to the series... And as far as fillers go, putting one on a 12-episode series, and what's more on the second episode, is not exactly very promising...

Also, am I the only one that is annoyed they keep using italian words in random places just for the sake of using italian words? I mean, it's good that they incorporated italian in a few places, like "bambina" etc, it adds to the atmosphere and such, but was there really a reason to refer to lemonade as "limonita" ?

There is this duel coming up and they have time for searching a cat? The only reason for me to continue is the italian flair, but I really thing I'll be a boring show.

That cat caused a lot of disaster while they were running after it.
Three creepy maids standing behind Libertá: "Li-ber-tá."
Libertá: 0.0''
I just knew that he was going to break the vase :D

Then comes Nova who took down a whole pile of books but in the end didn't catch the kitten.
Luca is scared of heights. This episode proves it. And at the end of the episode he was still hanging there on the branch XD I think everyone forgot him. And no one actually asked: "Aren't we forgetting something?" XD
Jolly again got less screen time than the others -.-'' But he likes popping out of nowhere..

They have weird punishments though. I can't believe Nova sang that XD
Filler episode or not, I loved every bit of it; even Debito's "Bambiiina" said with his accent.

Wow this was lame... Not bad since some parts were amusing, but lame. Even for a shoujo the whole looking for a cat's owner gimmick has been done way better. This seemed like a filler. Not good for a second episode.
I thought Felicita was going to be a strong character, but in this episode she gives off the vibe of oblivious airhead.

I don't understand the makers of this anime, even though it might've happened in the game (the whole cat thing) they could've easily wrapped it up in like half of the episode and spend the other half starting the fight.

They only have 10 episodes left to work with yet they decide to use 1/5 of the episode for introductions and useless flashbacks.
Seriously, why waste time on that crap? Like anyone would have forgotten what "papa" announced, it's the main plot for heavens sake and it just happened last week, who would forget that?
To top it off they use the same flash back twice. In the same episode.

I hope things will speed up a lot next episode cauz if it doesn't I'm afraid they won't be able to get even halfway in the tournament...

I only watch them because they contain bishies, but if it stays useless after 1/4 of the whole series I'd drop it xD
despite episode 2 having nothing to do with what ever plot line this anime has, I found it amusing, and ALSO it heightened the LucaxLiberta shipping pair 8D

ok episode lol

About the tournament,


The story in this episode does happen in the game on Nova route, kinda dissapointed they cut a scene in the end, in the game Felicita suddenly enter the room when Nova is singing and Nova became really embarassed after that.

So, they rescue a cat. There are a lot more corny introductions and awkward moments by the non-main males... I thought this would be decent, but i have been depressed by most of the J.C. works for a long while and it looks like it will continue.

Really good episode. Even though it was just a short side story, we did get to encounter some character development and a lot more context to the plot. I'm enjoying it a lot and I do hope it gets more serious in the near future.

But Liberta makes me fangirl haha. He's just so adorable :D
