Princess Lover!

[Buffalobiian]

Bad news for Charlotte, I'm starting to sympathize with Slyvia, who has steadily become the underdog in their love triangle.

Little Sylvia was cuter than little Charlotte too.

I wonder about Charlotte's line, "when our countries used to get along," combined with Slyvia's father's lines about the two daughters staying happy in Japan rather than going home. I wonder if Charlotte's country is trying to take over Slyvia's.

It certainly hinted at something like that. All that stuff about having Teppei remember her suggests she's going to have to go back or something. It's obvious she's hiding something but I can't work out what it is with the limited information.

Regarding our speculation before about whether Charlotte was trying to "steal" Teppei or not, I thought this episode made it pretty obvious that she still acknowledges him as Sylvie's fiance and "official" partner. She really has no intention of prying Teppei from her, but at the same time won't hesitate to ask for some free time with him.

I really hope this mentioning of dead parents wasn't just for dating-talk material, and that we'll get back to finding out whoever killed Teppei's parents later.

Suspiciously enough, Sylvie's mother also died in an "accident".

By the end of the episode, it did look like Slyvia is starting to recognize that if she doesn't start actively spending more time with Teppei, that she might lose him before she can make a choice about accepting their engagement. Teppei courteously gave her the right to choose instead of accepting it himself and dragging her along. But he also wanted to continue to get to know her better.

Thus far, Sylvia has considered that to be friends/sparring partners and little else. The look on her face at the end and when Charlotte was asking to borrow him shows she may be starting to realize that if she does like him, she may already be losing her chance. She hasn't really been reciprocating the effort to get to know Teppei better. Teppei has had to find out about Slyvia from Charlotte.


I'm thinking this series will be a 24 or 26. They haven't even given Yuu a storyline, and while they could certainly leave Seika's where it is for all I care, I expect she will be given more than just a pair of episodes. So six or seven remaining episodes is not enough time to cover Yuu, more of Seika, and the Charlotte/Slyvia storylines.

Damn, that took an eternity. Slowest download ever...

The opening sequence was unexpected, but I enjoyed it. It kind of made it feel like you were watching the wrong show.

The rest of the episode was purely fanservice. It kinda felt like a DVD extra episode or an omake, and it was terribly censored .

[EinReB23]

An onsen episode! but the heavy censoring ruined it for me. And as for the previews looks like Arima will finally have a rival.

[NeoCybercoin]

Damn fog and law-denying clouds.....

Also that guy is not a rival in my book because that way he will get Charlotte of Teppei's back so he can focus on Silvie.

[Ryllharu]

I think Sylvia and Yuu took this episode.

Slyvia for clinging so cutely to her sword, in and out of the bath, as well as her unintentional table tennis cheating strategy. What really settled it though, was the single braid over the front of her shoulder. (Reference Akiko from Kanon). Most attractive hairstyle of all time.

Yuu, for her shivering in fear, from either Sylvia or being with the rich girls in general, as well as her comment about how it would have been fine if he had only ordered her to strip. Her outfit for the train and when they arrived at the inn was also very cute.

All of the girls had their moments, but Yuu and Sylvia rose above the rest.

[animus]

I can't wait for the uncensored DVD version of this episode. Assuming there is one, since it might've been on purpose since there was a comment about overtly thick fog.

[Marik]

I can't wait for the uncensored DVD version of this episode.

Indeed. I wonder just how much they'll actually show on the dvds.

[Ryllharu]

Indeed. I wonder just how much they'll actually show on the dvds.

You could see that the censorship was hiding creative censorship if you looked carefully. There might be a bare behind of Ayano or the green-haired girl who's name I already forgot, but it was otherwise clever "camera" angles.

The clothes shelves hiding Yuu and Charlotte, Sylvia's sword cleverly covering herself (if just barely) and Seika, Charlotte's shear size pushing it out of the frame, faucets and fog covering the rest, etc.

[shinta|hikari]

This is such a cheap way to sell DVDs, but I can't really blame them if it works. It is a business after all.

I agree with Ryll completely. The table tennis cheat is the most fantastic cheat of all time.

So, now Teppei has a Harem that admits they love him, and only on the 6th episode? I swear he must have broken a record or something.

[Buffalobiian]

Screw DVD, I need this episode in uncensored HD, even if they're encoded to waste bandwidth and HDD space.

It was quite an entertaining episode regardless. I found it particularly fun that they actually mentioned all their plot/censoring devices like the fog and the fat-nameless-guy-to-be-sacrificed.

Yuu and Sylvia shined this episode for the already mentioned reasons, but Charlotte's pinky-sucking move makes her a close second. Though her coyness was what made her initially attractive, the fact she's hiding something and not as "open" as the other girls is starting to a hit on her appeal.

[Nadouku]

Table Tennis cheat was pretty funny, but I really thought Nezu wasn't gonna be invited.

[TheBladeChild]

This is almost exactly like a certain episode from FMP Fumoffu, I believe. But regardless, this was entertaining nonetheless. The table tennis cheat was great.

[Ryllharu]

I believe some of the lines were even similar (if not eaxctly the same) to "The Goddess Visits Japan part II" episode of Fumoffu.

That should teach Teppei to check his phone every now and then.

This is looking like a strange mix of drama, dirty politics, and action. But nuclear weapons storage? That was a bit thick. If it was a country digging a nuclear waste storage right at the border it would be quite a bit more believable reason for rising tensions between the countries.

Other than that, Teppei didn't look too happy about the idea of losing even one member of his four girls harem. What a stingy guy.

Can't say I blame him, variety is good.

It looks like the revenge stuff is starting finally, and I must say it's about time.

[NeoCybercoin]

So the next episode will have lots of cleavage shots of Silvie. Along with them bursting out of the biker suit.....can't wait.

They made it too obvious who was behind it though.

[Archangel]

This is as harem as harem animes get right?

Also, is there a chosen girl yet? I'd hate that, harem animes are all about the possibilities

And is the mc the cool or the lame type?

Edit: How has Type-Moon not sued yet? I'm not kidding, i would be pissed if some other company blatantly stole such a popular character like that. Or did they get permission? Maybe Type-Moon had something to do with the development?

If there was anything that would immediately rankle the target audience in terms of its magnitude (no pun intended) it would be nuclear weapons. Viewing from outside of Japan, particularly in a country that was both constantly threatened by nuclear stockpiles abroad as well as having vast reserves of our own, the impact isn't nearly as severe. It almost seemed ridiculous that someone outside of Hazelrink would ever be allowed to put them there without both Hazelrink and Flemish knowing about it, but the idea was to make it as alarming as possible to the audience and give a reason for why Sylvia would suddenly be so pissed at Charlotte.

WTF?

You seriously believe that? I hate to break it to you, but Saber isn't the first blond, sword wielding girl in anime.

My astonishment aside, Type-Moon does give permission out to other companies, 7th Expansion asked to use Chie-sensei as a parody of Ciel from Tsukihime.
