General
Pacing - Decent pacing. I think they could have went a little further, but stopping on the clock was a good transition I suppose
Voices - Eva-Beatrice sounded...weird sometimes. But still it was completely on key with tones. And woah what the hell happened to Koshimizu's voice (Rosa). She sounded more like a teenage girl than the awesome Rosa-Musou. Did she have a cold or something, because you hear a very noticeable difference. Although I did like Ohara (Beato), Ono (Battler) and Sugita (Ronove). Fuyuka (Lambda) for the time she was there was excellent (completely tsu~n
) and Miki (Eva) was amazing in the scene with Eva and Hideyoshi.
Music - /insert Happiness of the Marionette anger here
I'm going to chill with this, because I'm sure it's going to show up eventually. But man they just love inserting 'Suspicion' at any chance they can. Still, I did like that they included nighteyes and voiceless.
Art - Am I the only one who laughed at the cake.
Lambda's pout is godly
And her TsunTsun
I noticed Bern's eye coloring changed.
Episode 5
Episode 15
Can't say which one I like more, but I think the style used in this episode suited her a little. It was kinda lazy though to just make a gradient :P
I also like how they generally animated Eva-Beatrice. The twirl part was especially funny.
Pros
-The ceremony scene was good, despite the 'clapping hands' cut.
-Rosa and Maria's various deaths were handled well and didn't go insanely overboard. Still would it kill them to use some blood. Seriously the two fall from the sky and no blood at all. Just what.
-Maria crying to Beatrice about the broken promise was very touching...except at the end when Beatrice just dropped her like a rock
-Moetrice was very moe and tsundere. And yes they kept the part when he slaps her. (waifu abuser)
-The whining scene with Maria and Hideyoshi trying to calm her down was cute. Yes, Maria was annoying but that's the point
-Evatrice is still amazing. Just the way she was voiced and animated was just perfect~
-I loved the couple scenes between Hideyoshi and Eva. They were very touching
-What. What.
What is this.
An episode where Maria wasn't acting or looking like L5 Rena, even though DEEN had the chance to make it that way!!
Holy crap we need to give DEEN an award guys this is an accomplishment! B)
Cons
-Clapping fight between Battler and Beato was removed. A bit disappointed, since it was a wonderful example of
Go-Karting with Bowser
-Just making it look like Eva found the gold by pure luck and not even talking about Rosa giving her the hint was meh :/ Rosa being there looks especially weird without that part too, but I guess they made it work.
-Eva and Rosa's voices, when they were outside in the arbor, are pretty low. You could hardly hear them.
-I was laughing at the crazy deaths
I guess seeing them animated and not with a picture with gross splattered blood with over detailing text makes it more humorous?
Overall
I'm going to give this episode a 9/10. It wasn't completely perfect, but then again nothing is. Despite cutting the clap scene and 'happiness of the marionette' I still liked the episode and enjoyed watching it.
i got the feeling she's just plain angry untill she started laughing.
At least now I know why Battler calls them "ass nee-chans", so thanks DEEN! Other than that, I can't really give a proper review until subs come out. All I'll say is that the Beatrice bitch slap was really awesome, and her facial expression afterward made me feel really bad for her.
