This episode has been a huge improvement over the ones we’ve had in the past. I hope we can keep this going and I don’t really see it as a problem now that the jealousy issue has been resolved. The way Margery advised the girls was really quite surprising. It’s amazing how mature she can be as you really wouldn’t expect it from a drunkard like her.

The art really hit the gutter this episode, I don’t know what was going on. The scene with Margery talking to Ogata and Kazumi was particularly notorious. It’s as if they just skipped the “Quality Control” step completely. In terms of music though, I really liked the part when Satou was talking about treasuring the moment they had together now. Playing Ce qui fût suavé then was a great touch.

From the previews, it seems like we’re going to be getting an Ike episode next round. I’m not going to be expecting any tomogaras to jump out of nowhere but I’m going to be hoping for some decent humour. This episode was pretty good about it and it was a rather serious episode, so I’m hoping that the next will be better. That’s not to say that an Ike episode can’t be serious, but come on, let’s not kid ourselves, we all know he doesn’t have a chance.
