Watching it again tonight, I was also thinking about the episode title: Their Portraits. A portrait isn't a biography, it captures a person at a brief moment in their lives. Maybe if the artist is good enough, you can spot little details that tell you something about where the person has come from and where they're going. But in the end all you have is that moment, that
eien no ima captured on canvas.
Which is precisely what I think we got.

Welcome! You've made an inspired choice
For subs, the only game in town is
Simoun-Fans. Slight complication is they picked up the show at episode 4, so they've only recently been able to go back and sub the earlier episodes. Doremi also subbed 1-5, but I'd recommend Simoun-Fans where possible because their subs generally have the benefit of more hindsight.
