I noticed that as well, and I think we were all suppose to notice it. They did something similiar in Fate/side Night. At first the female character thinks nothing about prancing around naked in front of the male, and then she becomes more modest. It seems to signify a change in the female's attitude.

At the beginning of the series, Louise's attitude about Saito seeing other girls was, "anybody but Kirche." In Episode 7, she brained him with a wine bottle for staring at the tavern girl's cleavage. I'm not sure if she's willing to admit it to Saito, or even herself, but she certainly appears to be thinking of him as more than her pet familiar.

I like how in the mid episode commercial break thingy (whatever its called) they had chibi Louise wear the waitress costume.

For those who know nuts about French (like me),
très bien = very good (very well)

Eye catch.

OH GOD YUUJI KISSED YOSHIDA!

I don't think I can remember a series that has been so cliched, yet so entertaining. This episode wasn't quite as good as the last (and lack of Saito kicking ass could well explain why), but highly enjoyable nonetheless.

As trite as the tsundere typecast is, it does demand character development by its very definition, and I think that's what we're seeing here. I suppose it's not so much Louise profoundly maturing as it is her respect for and opinion of Saito rising. The two of them have a certain chemistry as well, which I have to admit I find interesting to watch (it certainly adds to my list of reasons to give this show my thumbs up).

Although I did enjoy this episode, it wasn't as... fun? Entertaining? as the rest of the show has been so far. Realistically, it was a filler ep, but a filler ep designed to show us the relationship progressing between Saito & Louise. But apart from a few nice moments (the attic scene, Louise's jealously, Saito protecting Louise and the final costume moment) the episode felt mispaced and very 'ooh, fanservice!'. Which is fine, but I'd like to see some nice plot development soon - there's only six episodes left after all.

Six for this episode. It didn't really make me laugh very hard, except for Jessica. She is a highly entertaining character - and I hope that the novels get translated at some point, as she appears to be a very fun character in them as well. Well, apart from being relatively incidental... now, more Siesta, more Henrietta, and some plot please. ^_^

This week's ep was funny it made me laugh but it was a little boring because we didn't get to see some asses kick by Saito but at least we get to see Louise and Saito's relantionship growing.I gave this show a 9 because it was funny hope that next week's ep will not be a filler like this one.

[Kisuke06]

Very good epsiode. It was very funny and it also had some character development. This serie is geeting better and better... it's a shame that there are just 6 episodes left. It's good that the novels are going to get translated, but I do hope that this show will have a second season.

[Darklightz]

Seeing Saito kiss the princess made it worth seeing this epsiode XD

And yes,Louise is seeing Saito less as a pet and more as a guy.Also notice how she started calling him Dog,as in a futile attempt to convince herself that he's still just a pet.But soon she will accept the truth.

[Shiroth]

Gotta be the funniest episode so far from the series. Its good to go from something serious that was episode 06 to this, it was laughter after laughter. ^^;

& seriously, Jessica is the ultimate win. I was waiting for a fav' character for me to appear, and she's the one - its just a shame i have such a bad feeling that we won't see her again. ;_;

This "plot" confused me a little when I saw the preview to episode 8. In short, this was a 'mission failure'.... a little bit unexpected

Poor Henrietta, having no one competent around her to rely on.

[Guido]

The comedy was very consistent with the circumstances that sparked at Scarron's inn.

The episode itself even remind me of Inukami due to the Scarron character; macho build with pinky personality.

I feel sorry for the guy that got Scarron's special service.

What's so good about the pranks and comicity in the episode was due to Louise's uptight pride and Noble demeanor. We get the best one-liners I have seen so far.

Spoiler:

(Saito looks at Jessicas' breasts while Louise watches them on)
Louise: So it's the breasts?! Even for him, it's still about the BREASTS?!!

(Jessica places Saito's hand on her left bossom, after having closed in on him seductively)
Jessica: In exchange, I'll teach you many things
(Sweating profusely)
Saito: Teach me what?

(Louise storms furiously into the room with glaring, devil eyes)
Louise: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!
(Making an excuse after having been busted in a compromising situation)
Saito: Gathering information!

(The taxpayer closes in on Louise's breasts sighing dissapointment)
Tax collector: Does this shop now hires boys to work here?

(Realizing Louise's a girl)
Tax collector: Since you're so plain, I thought for a moment you were a boy.

(Saito steps in to protect Louise)
Saito: I'm the only one who can touch Louise!
(Louise blushes in silent hearing that from Saito)

NUMBER 1.
(Princess Henrietta gestures her left-hand towards Saito, but he doesn't know what to do next. Louise berates him that's a courtesy meant that he may now kiss the Princess. Saito gets the wrong idea, however.)
Saito: Then, may I beg you to excuse me.
(Saito approaches the princess, grabs her hand, and makes a sudden movement to pull her onto him. The princess looks dumbfounded, as Saito kisses her on the lips in the most bishounen fashion, that the magic fills the air. It looks to be Henrietta's first kiss ever because faints in shock afterwards while Louise is aghast and in horror)

The last bit of the episode sparks the initial stages of the bigger conflict that our heroes will become involved for later.

Spoiler:

The mysterious stranger who has Ms. Longueville bailed out from jail and addresses her as Mathilda South Gotha.

[FlareKnight]

I don't know about it being a failed mission. They found the corrupt noble who was unfairly collecting taxes from businesses. Now that they know who's behind it they probably report in then go back to school that's all.

Saito can get by anywhere and unlike back at the school he actually had a blanket while staying there. Almost expected something funny to come out of the fact Louise crawled in beside Saito. Well it was funny enough itself but I did expect some strange morning .

A good episode with some funny moments and good development between Saito and Louise.

I guess so, but what if there are more than just that tax guy? It just didn't seem like they did this 'mission' too thoroughly to me...

But then this is probably one of those series we shouldn't take too seriously.

oh one of the funniest/disturbing eps so far...i mean that gay guy is really scaring me to hell it burns my eyes and i have to keep screaming at the screen "nonono!" i mean...he even kissed a costomer O.o

owh its really cute that louise went to sleep next to saito...she still just a baby but still jealose as hell lol *flying bottle kills**kicks to the balls* >.<

saito is such a chick magnet...brests are just attracted by his hands for some reason Jessica was literally jumping on him lol
perfect ep imo 10/10

[iamandragon]

Brillant episode. A lot of ownage in this episode(it looks like everyone's getting owned by someone else in this episode...)
OMG Saito kissed me~~~~~*dances*
I bet saito's pretending...he just wants to kiss Henrietta and uses his 'lack of knowledge' as an excuse.

The background music played in the scene where Louise used magic sounds pretty familiar...must have heard it before in another anime...probably Negima?

[Zenemis]

It appeared in the "duel" between Guiche and Saito in Ep.2 as well, quite the catchy tune, imo.

[MeganeShounen]

Yup. I think the composer for both Negima and ZeTsu is the same person. And on a side note, it's out this week too.

Need more Kirche and Jessica love. Seriously.

[Deathkillz]

^ kirche love is definate but i dnt think jessica is gona show up again

Seconded! The facial damage he had at the time was hillarious.

To me this series, with its current length of 13 eps, could win without any major plot development, as long as they keep the character development in.
