This was a beautiful episode, and the perfect setup to the start of the newest arc. However, I wonder with so few episodes left how the animation staff is going to handle the development to make for a decent conclusion.

The last things I know is that the manga currently has five volumes to now and with all the cram plethora of fillers that were sticked at the beginning of the show, I feel that lots of stuff for storytelling and plot development are going to be left out.

Regardless of that, this episode had a nice atmosphere that is juxtaposed with the turn of tides at the end, which we see it coming all along. Throw a ballroom party for nobles, which the location happens to be a few blocks away from the park where food is distributed to the people, bad idea.

Spoiler:

Definitely, Schultz displayed a dramatic growth on character that enabled him to understand Alice's feelings.

Spoiler:

I could have bestowed a 100 to this episode, but I cannot due that my only complain is that the ED song reverted to the first one. A shame because the new song by Stekkin was cute.

Throw a ballroom party for nobles, which the location happens to be a few blocks away from the park where food is distributed to the people, bad idea. Spoiler: According to Karl Marx, the masses will eventually become fed up by the oppressive government of the hedonistic, high classes. The capitalists are nothing but pigs who are worried more to fill their pockets rather to worry for the common good of the people. Eventually, the masses of the poor join into a big conglomerate and rebel to take down the higher classes, and thus chaos and anarchy ensue afterwards. The Marqui Paul is the literal and figurative embodiment of the capitalistic pig, who gives a jack for another human life that is not his and his wealth. Where I live the social stratification among classes is juxtaposed too evidently and matter of factly. There are streets or blocks where on one side are full of downtrodden houses or habitations that lacked resources and basic services for sustenance, while on the other side of those streets there are the well-built houses of rich people, equipped with the latest hi-tech gear and decorations. Definitely, Schultz displayed a dramatic growth on character that enabled him to understand Alice's feelings. Spoiler: He is receptive of her quirks and could distinguish which is when she delivers her smile and the meaning to it. That is she enjoys the blessings rewarded doing her job- to lend a hand to the needed, to give hope to the despaired, to put on first priority the welfare and happiness of the people. He finally got the meaning for Alice's precious Section III and made a perfect departure. He is going out into the real world not to see butto interact with the same people and circumstances that Alice everyday faces at her job. I could have bestowed a 100 to this episode, but I cannot due that my only complain is that the ED song reverted to the first one. A shame because the new song by Stekkin was cute.
