One thing I will say for Debito's seiyuu: he somehow manages to make his Japanese sound as if he's actually speaking Italian.

Agreed. He has one of the sexier Japanese voices I've heard too. Embarassed

On one hand it pisses me off that there's no action yet despite the premise, on the other hand...the characters are really enjoyable and I'm still being entertained for some reason.

Aaaannnd...I see a shred of myself in Debito thanks to this episode. It is the upperclassman's duty to scare the shit out of the innocent younger students! Twisted Evil

And agreed with his voice, he has a voice you can go gay for.

Episode 4

spoiler[Fishing with Dante LOL
It's not really Liberta's thing.
The bright idea to take a shortcut over the roofs resulted in a crash.
At least Felicita & Liberta did something right by working the stand.
Luckily everything went their way later on, at least it did until they came home.
Flashbacks from Liberta's childhood/past were interesting.
Liberta has a pretty cool, but dangerous power and his childhood was anything but happy.
No wonder he was feeling betrayed. Being unable to remember and then finding out everyone knew except him...
In the end he took it relatively well.]

Episode 4
Well, it seems that the latest episode was somewhat decent compared to the previous two that were considered fillers.

Libertà's history is revealed a bit in this latest episode and spoiler[seems that he had quite a harsh childhood due to his abilities]. Poor kid Sad

This show is ok so far, but it's not exactly what I thought it was going to be. Episode 1 made it look like it was going to be a reverse harem tournament show with lots of action and super powers. However, Episode 2 and 3 made it feel like a comedy with the silly, random, non-linear story lines. Now Episode 4, just threw me off again since it was a little more serious with Liberta's past. Did anyone else feel like Liberta's spoiler[bracelet has something do with his sealed powers and/or memory]? They just reminded me of [Fruits Basket's spoiler[ Kyo's bracelet]. Just like Fruits Basket, this show definitely has great potential for yaoi material between the two main male characters.

Yeah, they showed spoiler[the bracelet at least three times by my count. So, I'm guessing that's his seal.]

I was kinda excited of some character development, but it certainly didn't need to take up the whole episode. Not too mention, it's the same old "Must get stronger to be the best, blah, blah, blah." Rolling Eyes

The show is not living up to the potential shown in the first episode. No dueling, and I'm hanging in there, hoping that bam! it'll just show up. We'll see.

Liberta's power spoiler[seems a little too overpowering if he can master it... If his words are law then he will never lose a battle, as he can easily make his opponent lose the will to fight.] Looks like next week's episode will be about Nova's back story. Also the the punishment games after the ending song are rather amusing.

Episode 5

Liberta still having an issue with Dante.
It's no wonder, actually.
spoiler[Anyone would be hurt by what Dante did.
That little flashback to Nova's childhood was nice ^^]

Nova really is the opposite of Liberta...
spoiler[Felicita & Nova do make a good team.
This episode sure was full of those two.
Looks like Nova has his own set of issues that bother him.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if each character would get their dirty laundry aired.
Jolly & his connection to Nova's parents is kinda suspicious.]

Ugh, I am pretty fed up with this show. Now, they are hinting that spoiler[the duel was only a ruse the heroine's father used to get her to focus on becoming stronger.] Whatever the case, I think this was my last episode. I may change my mind, or pick this back up later, but I doubt it.

hmmm...

I have to say, Nova and Felicita makes a better pair than Liberta and Felicita.

Agreed. I enjoyed this episode more than last weeks because Nova is my favorite character besides the eye patch badass.

Nova is such a tough little cookie Wink

Looks like this week's episode was better than the previous. By the way the series is played out so far, I'm guessing the duel and battles won't begin till at least half way into the series.

Also, it seems that next week's episode has Felicità "do something"? Hmm...

Episode 6

spoiler[Dealing with pirates on Regalo island.
Nova took the news about his dad really calmly, unlike Liberta.]

Those two are light years away from each other.
The three of them sure make a good team ^^
spoiler[Nova's arcana power sure is a scary one.
Wow! Liberta managed to control his power! Nice.
So it was all staged by Dante...]

Well, it's true that those three still need grow in power.

Would it sound big headed if I said spoiler[that I saw the fact that it was staged by Dante from early on, I mean it was pretty obvious. The perp had to be able to get to Nova's father, Dante was supposedly busy, the culprit was wearing a mask Dante used to wear, actually the fact that all of the people war masks and mask man did not speak].
