Heh, Nobunaga found himself a new admirer. I'm still not sure about this whole marriage ordeal though.

Dat near kiss. That was a close one. The festival looks fun I guess. A wedding? Oh snap.

Himiko knew Jeanne is female (Did Ichihime know as well since her breast was accidentally shown a bit there?). Wow, displaying West technology lol @ Nobunaga's wedding outfit.

Why am I not surprised that Kawamori would make a ceremony like this one? LOL. And was Nobunaga about to kiss Jean? Or did things just look that way?

The reversed magician could mean either Nobunaga or Mitsuhide but at this point, I'm inclined to believe it's the latter since Nobu is probably the fool.

The wedding ceremony was comedy gold. What even was Himiko wearing on her head.

My god, that was a gawdy ceremony!!

She thinks her betrothed is a raging beast? Can her little, prebuscent body even handing a raging beast? Good thing it's just a betrothal ceremony, or else the raging beast may end up killing her on her wedding night.

One of animes where I don't skip op and ed *.*

But episode was stupid,
this whole wedding was so stupid, that I just can't... -.-
And Nobunaga's outfit and this hair... -.-
Please, stop I can't look...

Only good part was with Ichihime!
Her behavior, appearance + Chihara Minori voice~
Just love it!

But I want more mecha fight and action! *.*

Just look that way = shipping fanservice.

I don't understand why Jeanne had to shout at night,
that the whole castle had to hear
what she thinks about Nobunaga? -.-

You know how every episode a character picks a tarot card?
I think they don't represent Nobunaga at all, but the character that picks the card. That would make much more sense to me.

I really liked the last episode, but this episode fell a little flat for me.
I'm annoyed by the fact that pretty much everyone knows already that Jeanne is a girl; I was hoping that reveal wouldn't be a while. Also, this is purely my own opinion, but Himiko was nothing but annoying to me in this episode. I really hope her character becomes more interesting, because I had some high hopes after the last ep. I'm hoping that she's not going to end up as just some silly lovestruck Nobu groupie.I know the betrothal ceremony was supposed to be played for laughs, but I couldn't help but groan at how ridiculous it was. Maybe that was the point. I don't know. Please don't bash me about not liking the ceremony or Himiko. I know some people really liked both.
On the other hand. Mitsuhide is becoming a very interesting character, and Jeanne's characters seems to be headed in a good direction. I'm looking forward to seeing how she'll hand real combat later on. I really like the tarot cards; they can be interpreted in so many ways, by both the characters and the audience. Ichihime and Nobukatsu also have some potential to be a highly fascinating characters, and I'm hoping they'll function as a sort of bridge between some of the characters and Nobunaga. I'd really like for "The Lovers" to be explained at some point. We have some 20 episodes to go, so I feel like it'll be explained in there somehow. Maybe I should read up on Japanese history.
I still love the OP and the ED and can't wait for the full versions.

Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

And that is how you do a proper engagement party. Wait isn't cake cutting a wedding thing? I'm confused XD!

For some reason, I have this uncomfortable heavy feeling while watching this. It just has so many elements I feel like I'm getting crushed.

you know, this would kinda make sense but it's only the first time another character drew a card and Jeanne already drew 3 cards:
The Star -> refers to Jeanne, of course
The Lovers -> can be referred to Jeanne, but there are so many relationships that it may refer to anyone among Jeanne x> Nobu x Ichi <x Mitsuhide, during that episode..
The Chariot (reversed) -> hard to say if it can be related to Jeanne as this seems to refer to Nobunaga.. but who knows what plot twist we may have for Jeanne's future? this is Kawamori after all..

Nobunaga may obviously be the Fool, and he may not need to draw a card after all.. but since there are 24 episodes and only 22 major arcana cards, The Fool is bound to appear, though i'm really left to wonder what are the titles for 2 episodes..

Funny, I liked that this happened. It was so obvious that Ranmaru was a girl that to pretend otherwise would have made the characters, and by extension the viewers, idiots.

This is also something I disagree with. I liked that Himiko is infatuated with Nobunaga because of something that happened as a child. I think the "as expected, you're a beast" will have very interesting ramifications in the future. Far from being merely a "nobu groupie", she actually added to the cake cutting, so we know there is something far more there in terms of power. As for Jeanne, I think Himiko will be satisfied that she is the first wife, not minding that her "beast" plows other fields.

Overall nice episode, this show hasn't disappointed yet. From the foreshadowing that Hideyoshi's time has not come yet (not being able to draw a card), to the potential confusion as to who "the Magician" applied to really makes me interested in finding out what happens next. That the next episode is "the tower" shows that the writer knows what he is doing, it is the right card after Magician. I like that the writer has a strong grasp on the elements that make this show.

We also have Jeanne being forced to confront her past. As I predicted last week, we are still a couple of episodes away from her true power coming forth, but this episode moved her in this direction, so I am confident that she will continue to improve as a character. And I really look forward when this happens, particularly how Himiko and Ichihime react.

I said this a couple of weeks ago, but this show is really better than by any rights it should be. Each episode has provided further proof of this. I really want to see what happens next.

The attack of the lolis - no boob man is safe.

I have to admit, this was the best ep so far, but this anime's still pretty bad overall. I was really optimistic about it too, sigh. I dunno if I'm gonna last the full 24 eps, unless it's going to just keep on steadily improving after a bad start.

for real this anime has the best ending of the season and is too much underrated,it became one of my favorite from the season,something that caught my eyes is that them are not making it at too much fast or too slow,them are making good use of time on this one,them could do what them are doing in 12 episodes but them choosed to make a well made anime with 24 episodes than a fast and meh anime with 12 episodes

That little brat is annoying. It doesn't help that she's voiced by Toyama Nao, whose voice I usually can't stand.

But Nobu is awesome as usual and as Da Vinci said, go with the flow.

Nice to see it's 2 cour ^^

Good ep. Seems like the main players know Jeanne is a girl. They didn't mind at all though XD

Nobu saying "Is this how Westerners sneak into each other's rooms to get some?" was lol hahaha. That almost kiss!

Himiko checking Jeanne's boobs was lol hahaha. Loving her VA. She's pretty cute.

I expected more jelly from the other girls to HimikoxNobu but seems not?

The Betrothal ceremony was lol. The wedding dress and Nobu's traditional gangster outfit was fun. Himiko wanting a kiss but getting carried in place was cute <3

Nice cut there. Didn't get what happened to their stomachs though ^^;

This episode was kinda boring in most parts. After the last episode i felt like this anime will be very good but now I'm not so sure. the anime in general introduced so many elements and i have a bad feeling that tells me that those elements will be irrelevant and will confuse us the viewers. Still don't know where the anime is going with the story and the characters but I'll stick with it for now and hoping for the best to come.

We should ask Sir Troll da Vinci.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!

Who was piloting The Fool during that ceremony? How did that even happen? Is that a plot hole or was it intentional?

Anyway, lame episode, everything up to this point has been fun, this one started by trying serious and failing and then that lame, corny scene at the end, eh.
