Last week, I felt disappointment that the subject matter of Wilfried possibly becoming disinherited wasn’t portrayed with the gravity and urgency that it required. I wanted it to have as much impact as the episode about the harspiel concert.

This week, however, I think they managed to put out a pretty good episode again. The only hitches I felt were the awkwardly shoehorned-in flashbacks to Rozemyne’s medical examination.

Also, maybe it is more obvious in Japanese, but I wonder if the English audience reading the captions really understood that time when Rozemyne was talking to Fran in the Pandabus that she was doing an imitation of Ferdinand. I had been really looking forward to that scene, but it was less funny than I hoped for.

I’ve been reading the manga in Japanese, and that scene almost made me regret using captions for the anime, even though my listening isn’t that great yet. Maybe the next time I watch the anime from the beginning, I’ll try it without captions.
