A very satisfying episode to watch. ^^
It was better than how I visualized it from reading the translated chapters from the novels. Like how Nana Arima's selection was foreshadowed twice, first at the beginning when Rei talks about Tanaka's two younger sisters and secondly when the previous Roses played a 'frightful game' of guessing, as Yumi put it. 10/10 |

Ah... another fun episode. I really like how they depicted Yoshino's effort in trying to get a petit soeur during the tea party, maybe partly fueled by Yumi's popularity. And it was surprising that Yoshino got a petit soeur before Yumi (well, not yet but...). I hope Yumi gets a petit soeur soon. I can't imagine her being other than either Touko or Kanako, however.

Oh, I forgot about this.
If you're looking for the story where Spoiler for the continuation of this sentence:
I doubt you'll see it in the anime in anything other than perhaps a flashback. Instead, it's told in an audio drama included in the Marimite Special CD released last Christmas. I actually listened to it for the first time right after I watched this episode. I've never read the story in its original form, but at 40 minutes in length I imagine this drama covers it quite nicely. I enjoyed it, anyway. |

This was a very satisfying episode and as usual Yumi is just adorable with her numerous funny faces. So as i thought neither Yumi nor Yoshino would find a souer at the the tear party but we had an opportunity to see just how damn popular Yumi really is. Even though Yoshino didnt find her at the tear party the random encounter during the Kendo tournament yielded interesting result.
If it were not for Eriko's persistence which lead to Yoshino' great escape she would not have met Nana and made a great impression on her just from the look. Yoshino declaring if she has not found a souer by her third year she would acknowledge Nana, however this remains to be seen.. Yumi on the other had as finally starting think seriously about what kind of souer she wants which i believe is what Sachiko wanted not for her to rush out and find one but for her to at least think about it seriously. Partying scene with Sachiko and Yumi arm and arm was beautiful against the setting sun. Yoshino was a real treat this time around as her antics and panicked "Im screwed" face made the episode more than worth it. If you think back to why Eriko chose Rei who chose Yoshino who ran into Nana who looks similar to Eriko its actually quite funny there is a pattern. Ok so after 4 episode the OP has really grown on me I really liked it now not like i hated it before but im actually singing a long a bit to it lol. btw the ending shot in the OP is very interesting i believe they wanted to show the future. Notice how none of the current Roses except for Shimako is at the end Eventually the three Roses will be Yoshino, Yumi and Shimako i think this is reflected in that shot.

Eriko chose Rei on her whim for her unusual height and boyish looks, Rei choose Yoshino because they were always together anyway since childhood. Where's the pattern? |

I do know that the roses have equal power in Yamayurikai, but if you rank them. I do think Yumi possess the aura being president and Shimako vice-president, last Yoshino as Secretary/Treasurer. |

I don't get why so many people loved this episode other then the fact that it is Marimite. Sure it covered some events that we all really wanted to see, but I found the episode too compressed. I'd would have preferred they split this episode into 2.
What was the point of including Shouko at all in the tea party since they didn't even bother with exploring any of the side plot that involves her? It would be one thing if they were going to do something similar like season 1 and the Valentines Chocolate where they showed the same events in a different episode from the perspective of the fan girl character. But considering how fast this season is going, I don't see that happening. In fact, my main complaint with this seaon is that it is moving much faster then the 1st two seaons which were already fast pace compared to the books. They should just slow down and double the number of episodes and let us savor things more. |

I liked the Shouko side story in the novels, but I understand why they cut it out to save time in the anime. I agree, though, that if they're going to cut it out, why even spend time introducing her in the first place? And they WAY they cut it made Shouko look much worse than the books. She came off kinda bad in the anime the way they framed it.
The line where she says "I want to be in those pictures" makes no sense if you don't know the back story and just makes Shouko sound narcissistic. edit: Overall, I thought it was a great episode because Yoshino was so cute. But they really should have cut out the Shouko part and maybe spent a little time explaining that Lillian lost because even though Rei won her match, the other school won more matches overall.

I really like this episode. Alot of funny moments.
Eriko and Yoshino interaction is really interesting. Nana seems like Eriko(face) + Noriko(personality) to me. And I'm wondering why is she asking whether Yoshino's seour will get the rosary. She seems to like the rosary a lot though. |
