It was a necessary episode centering around Ringo. Very good background information explaining quite a few things about her. Although it did nothing to explain why she's driving Ryouko and Ryoushi together. Perhaps it's simply her willingness to help them both. I guess it's good her views of couples weren't shadowed by what her mom achieved. Although I don't really know if her mom even was evil.
Good swimsuit shots as well.
Looks like they smashed the two separate Snow White fairy tales together and have Akai Ringo playing a double role as well (as Rose Red).
Her mother is as "evil" as Ringo is. She uses everything to her own advantage, likely using Ringo in the negotiations. They were in a upper-lower class housing before moving into the mansion. It was abundantly clear that Ringo's mother is the kind of mistress who forces the wife out.
Thankfully the episode had a happy ending.
Two small things that were notable was that Alice does indeed love her cousin, and Majo has a thin body and very large breasts (proportionally). Someone speculated earlier that Majo might be the real Mysterious Beauty, and they just may be correct.
Because she blushed a little? I think it was only because she considered the possibility and blushed for a second, none of those 2 seems very interested in the opposite sex >_>
And yeah Majo is very bonable, she needs her own ep before this series ends
Uh...did you miss the part where the two girls speculated that that what Alice really meant was that she says he's always hanging around her despite her lack of interest but she just won't leave on her own (which she certainly could do). That resulted in her blushing with a verbal denial (tsundere), confirming that she is the one deliberately continuing to hang around Liszt, which for some reason that would be embarrassing to her. This goes along with the initial question the girls had about the two of them going out, and the concluding remark that he will, "keep pushing back the wedding date."
And the accuracy of two girls' intuition is confirmed by our Narrator.
I still don't buy it, felt more like what i described than anything else
Normally one would think that Mr Nyan was there to distract Ryoushi from everything that's going on, but then there wouldn't be a reason to train him in the meanwhile. He'd better give an explanation for why Ryoushi is getting free training lessons. Ryoushi doesn't look like he'll be able to learn anything else in time aside from dodging, but even that should help him out heaps against the likes of Shepherd.
That was some hole in the plan to let Ringo and Majo alert everyone (more so Ringo, less so Majo since no one knows what she can do anyway). You might as well get everybody instead of letting the loose ones regroup. They should have staked some delinquents outside Snow White's house at least.

The first thing that visited my mind was that wouldn't you normally be contacting the police already at this point? If you look at the Bank at large, it even has a somewhat sensible idea for a club based on the services they have offered - mostly. But now we are talking about kidnapping people, which is a pretty serious crime.
Well, other than that, I'm mostly interested in that cat dude's motives as well. Ookami getting kidnapped is old material already, after all. The cat dude looks extremely shady suggesting he is working for the major villain, but on the other hand that could be on purpose. In reality a villain's worst enemies are other villains, after all.

Haven't you learned Kraco? They NEVER call the cops, NEVER!
It took me a few minutes for the role to click (confirmed by the steel-toed boots), but he's pretty clearly Puss in Boots. He is generally considered a good character, and that goes along with his lines about how he does good deeds for free. Then again, Puss in Boots is also well known for being a trickster, and also tends to be loyal to his master. Which would be...who?
This series has been good at adapting a lot of fairy tails into humorous twists and unique variations, but I viewed this situation as merely extremely poor timing rather than anything insidious. Ryoushi and Ryouko are each relatively helpless on their own against this group, but have proven to be invincible when teamed together. The cat kid just enabling Ryoushi with the ability to help himself save her.
Hah. After ten eps, I still regularly fail to remember the characters in the series are normally hauled over from fairy tails... But yeah, even knowing that, which must be true for the cat dude, doesn't really reveal to whom he's connected. I'd also say that his introduction was really abrupt and weak if he's connected to nobody, in the sense that he would simply appear out of nowhere right before the major battles (assuming such are coming).
It'd be really really cool if he was actually returning a favour to Otagi Bank, and was under the command of the president.
Poker Face!

Haha, yeah. That would actually be a nice plot twist!
That episode looked strangely like a finale
Anyway, Ryoushi is teh awesome
... until somebody looks at him.
At least he can bear Ryouko looking at him. That's the most important thing, of course.
I can't help but question the wisdom of Ryoushi telling her repeatedly that he's going to always protect her. The girl has used her free time to get better at fighting and is by no means poor at it, so what exactly does it gain to tell her that she needs protecting? Shouldn't he rather tell her that he's going to fight alongside her, no matter againt who? Even if this current form isn't what Ryouko exactly is like and would really want to be, I don't think it would do her much good to suddenly drop the boxing practice and become a meek ordinary little girl. She can't just turn back the clock, nor can he for her.
I don't get it either, I'd prefer him saying something like "I got ur back (so keep looking forward)" or something like that
"I'll always protect you"sounds so cocky, especially when he says it over and over again.
can't say I like that sentence coming from his mouth especially when he says it to someone like Ryōko
and I really *hate* his "weakness".. destroys the whole atmosphere
Ryouko wants to be protected. That's the kind of girl she is, not was. She is just pretending to be strong and independent. Just because she has grown strong by putting effort does not mean her nature has suddenly changed. That's the whole twist on the wolf in sheep's clothing thing. Ryoushi understands this, and that (along with his extreme persistence) is what made him able to get close and make Ryouko like him.
Ryouko doesn't have to drop anything if she doesn't want to. Ryoushi will try and protect her regardless of her being capable of protecting herself (which isn't really true considering all the trouble she has been having).
Ryoushi is cocky, but he always pulls through, so that makes it cool.
Peace.
