Yeah at this point while milidania might seem like a social climber...she's given up on katarina being a good QUEEN.

and so has katarina lmao.

After thinking about this, Katarina is also a Duke's daughter, which means she ranks higher than anybody she could potentially marry except the princes, so "social climbing" doesn't really exist for her family except in the sense where that means "ruthless power politics," which Motherina doesn't seem to be interested in.

I thought Catarina might dream about her old life, and that might become A Thing, but no she obviously is too stupid to understand the prompt and just imagines her current existence. Good attitude.

There was a Nintendo Switch, cellphone, CD case, and other things in there right at the start of that scene but they don't show them again after that.

It's just a personal preference. I'm not really interested in Katarina x any of the guys as more than friends TBH. The show being a bi harem is really good and unique. Dislike how the game we're getting is just shafting the girls and instead adding another completely original guy instead of any route for a girl.

It is! It's my second favorite "villainess" style manga after Bakarina. I really hope it will get an anime one day.

Super happy that we got another "dream" episode like we did last season and that it was just as good--except this time with trans feelings.

Also Maria just staring at her hands at the end of the episode was something special.

ep 8 is about Nicol and it's good! he finally gets to be a person and not just an accessory to Sophia. some interesting talk about freedom & duty & the value of an external goal

still rooting for Mary, history's strongest lesbian, to overthrow the entire Stuart dynasty and claim our girl, but Nicol made a very strong showing here

Was this another anime-original? A delight, either way. Bakarina continues to be a goddamn warm blanket on a cold day of an anime.

I havent watched the episode yet, but from what you guys have said that it seems to be a nicol special, and the title, this isnt anime only.

After the kidnapping arc book they had one that was like, 50% short stories about EVERYONE ELSE, so like, while they might have stretched it out, its not entirely anime only.

edit - so im about halfway through episode 7 and...wow maria's dream sure is a dream.

Also iunno if they did this in the manga, but this episodes content definitely wasnt in the LN.

Episode 7 was taken from various "what if" manga, which is why Keith thinking he wants to be a girl looks odd... it did not have the "what if I could live a different life" context, it was just a genderbend silliness chapter.

Episode 8 is 75% from a short story in LN 5, which did not name Nicol's partner (but other evidence suggested it was Fray, and the anime confirmed it). The other 25%, the Ginger stuff, was a webnovel-only short story.

Yeah i remembered nicol's marriage interviews, and it was pretty clear that the un-named girl was on the council because like fray does at the end of the episode, she name drops katarina and jeordo.

This is where I stopped reading the novels so I'm honestly curious if people just keep getting kidnapped forever.

Yeah honestly I'm really glad for the last few episodes because the manga just went straight from "Oh no! Katarina has been kidnapped!" to "Oh no! Keith has been kidnapped!" with nothing in between

Getting kidnapped is standard stuff for nobility.

Rand Brittain

"Go on until you're stopped."
Being kidnapped is not great for Keith's rep, in part because people keep telling him that he's been manfully resisting torture and looking straight ahead (off-screen) while on-screen he's mostly just looking scared and apprehensive.

If this was his sister she wouldn't even know she was a prisoner yet (she'd just be complaining about the quality of the food).

Baring that obnoxious moment, very charming finale! Cute next season hook, a new game where she doesn't have a "cheat sheet" so to speak. Unless she keeps having dreams of friend playing it, I guess.
