Now that was a whole lot of fun. Treasure maps, spelunking, ancient booby traps, the stuff of pulp fiction and fist-pumping adventure. Plus, Perrine got some time in the spotlight, and her rapier made its in-show appearance. It wasn't used against the golem, but a rapier was, and that's good enough.
What everyone will be talking about, I expect, is that Mio is a mean drunk and gave Minna a magnificent kiss that will be in the minds of people to come for, say, a week or so. Next week, Erica gets some focus time. |

This episode was about building bridges and not just the physical sort. Perrine got out of it less tea-bitchy and a little more open to her compatriots at the bottom of the ladder. Also, we learn that she can't stand the destruction of infrastructure.
I get that these character episodes are geared towards making us care about a character more, but Perrine being sad about a little girl being sad that the other kids would be sad about not making it to school is kinda distant. What got me to care was Perrine potentially being the only one left in her family and mulling over having to sell off the last of her family's possessions to help out her country. In stories of riches to rags (to riches) the characters seem to always work to regain their family's nobility/wealth/entitlement to property, etc. Perrine seems ready to toss any remnant of that for a contracting job that'd take a few weeks tops. Or maybe fumes from the roadwork outside have gotten to me and I am over analyzing a fanservice anime. Either way, bravo Perrine, none of that prestige could buy a heart as big as yours. Well, it COULD buy a bridge... So Minna had the end of the show to herself again :V I figured Mio would hit back a few with her officers back in Fuso, but to be that bad a drunk I doubt anybody at the base would. Except maybe Hijikata. With the discovery of the wine garden we now know who the bootleggers were in their hypothetical era of prohibition - witches. |

I didn't like Perrine much in the first season either, maybe it's because she was putting on the massive ojou-sama routine and not showing her true side, she's finally come out from just being the character that wants Sakamoto to someone who actually has a character of their own. Much like Luchinni really, she wasn't all that great in the first season.

For some reason, I don't remember much of Perrine except for the last smile even though it was supposed to be her episode... damn Mio Miina LOL
The great part was how Miina didn't stop Mio but accepted the kiss and fainted after The quality was a little unstable though, which bothered me a little since it was a fun epi to watch. AND FINALLY A HARTMANN EPISODE!!

[QUOTE=Lesca;3223985]I love drunk Mio She's usually fairly serious[QUOTE]
I saw the preview for this episode and thought WTF? Then I saw the episode and was like "Guess they finally did come up with a way to get Mio to act crazy" That rampage was awsome it is too bad though that it didnt involve more chasing by Mio. And I loved Hartmann's face when she thought she killed the Major. Kiss scene was Epic I cracked up at Barkhorn's reaction. |
