Sorry, I said that this was going to go up yesterday but…yeah, that didn’t happen.

We didn’t get to see much real plot development here although there was some character development. It seems that Shana and Yoshida does have some control over their emotions unlike a certain someone with her “jealousy storm” (Belldandy). Another character of note in this episode is Satou. Comic relief aside with regards to his duel against Yuji, we can see that he’s still very eager to make himself useful for Margery. Of course, since he can’t even lift up the Blutsauger unlike Yuji, one has to wonder if he’ll ever be useful in combat.

I am still eagerly anticipating the disappearance of Fumina Konoe. I don’t like her personality or her looks. I really hope that this arc isn’t going to hook up with the main plot because this arc was completely fabricated outside of the events of the novel and would probably seem rather forced if they did link the two together.

As a whole, the episode was about average. While it fit the episode’s name of 『憂いの少女たち』 perfectly, I kind of wished that there was more to it. The dip in art quality amongst the various scenes didn’t really help its case either. The next episode should be good though as it seems like Wilhelmina is going to have a chit chat with Chigusa. ;)
