Watched Ep5 right now:
Not sure what happened to the twins, maybe Subaru learned enough during his time as a butler that they started to respect him "enough", or they were honestly worried about him and couldn't believe that he was a spy this time around?
Did the blue one fall for him? That was kinda cute. I guess it was hinted that they aren't truely human during the Angel vs. Demon talk. Talking about cute, this show puts alot of effort into making the girls look good, especially Emilia looks better and better every episode. The clothing, the movements, I enjoy it to watch her, too bad Subaru himself is so goofy, while I like his statements and enjoy his attitude from time to time (he's able tp brush some things away and doesn't hesitate to "shoot back"), there are just as many times where it's uncalled for. (especially when he changes into disco stu-mode... or whatever he's trying to do there when his voice changes and all that)
I can't say I enjoyed the pacing this time around... it's not like they wasted a lot of time, it's just that this episode was pretty much useless on it's own. I actually liked what I saw, but it felt similiar to Haruhi's Endless 8. It's very thrilling to see what is different, what is the same and whether he will or will not be able to change stuff, but at the same time, it's really frustrating to see him failing at the exact same moment again even though the outcome itself is perfectly acceptable for me.
It's more of an "I wish I could watch another 3-4 episodes already" issue.
Ep.6? I know I'm behind but didn't EP6 only air today/yesterday? Did we see the maids fighting or doing something awesome already, or are you talking about the impact of their characters and how much you enjoyed them.Also, I thought the owner and even the maids were quite powerful, even Emilia is. So I guess we once again have quite a powerfull assassin, with over the top skills.
