I didn't spoiler[figure it out that quickly], but the instant spoiler[the masked man] showed up I knew spoiler[it was Dante]. Actually, spoiler[I didn't really figure out the whole scheme until the Dante spilled the beans] - I'd apparently turned my brain off once the fight actually started.

Episode 7

spoiler[Missing Felicita. Nova and Liberta cuffed together.]
Pretty interesting start of an episode ^^
It was interesting and funny to see those two manga each other.
spoiler[Luca's secret harvest split the family.
It was still kinda weird Nova and Liberta had no idea about it.
Luca, Debito, Pace & Felicita were sure enjoying themselves.
Looks like the other two were just victims of a prank..]

While this show is okay and all, it's just going nowhere at the moment. I'm waiting for the story from the first episode to return. I will probably pick it back up from where I left off once/if that happens. Otherwise I'm putting this on hold.

Episode 8

spoiler[Jolly hanging out with a kid.]
Well, that not his usual behavior..
spoiler[Debito having nightmares.
He's pretty hot without the eye patch ^^
It would be interesting to hear the story about his eye.]

This was a pretty general episode..
They only hinted the possibility of interesting stories.
I hope some of them will get realized.

Episode 9

spoiler[Felicita seems to be bothered by the Jolly's homunculus Elmo.
Their papa's illness... looks like another test for the young ones.
I was surprised that Felicita actually confronted Jolly about Elmo.]

So the truth finally came out.
spoiler[I don't really get those cards, just that each card gives them individual power.
The cards thing just complicates things additionally.
They are pushing Felicita to use Wheel of Fortune, but will it be worth losing her memories...]

I'm ashamed to admit I'm still watching this. Embarassed It's mostly to hear Bossun's Italian accent, but my god, the stupid in this hurts.

As the first two episodes so painfully spelled out, everyone knows what everyone else's card and powers are. And yet we get this:

spoiler[Oh no, she's lost her memory! Whatever shall we do? If only someone had the power to restore memories!]

spoiler[Yes, but who among us can do that? This is all Jolly's fault! Let's beat up Jolly! No, let's shoot Jolly in the head! Wait!, Jolly's the only one who could possibly figure out how to restore her memory since we have no one with the power to do that! Jolly?]

spoiler[Ok, I'll get to work on that. ::homunculus kid says something important:: Hmmm, I never thought about memories that way because I don't remember how my power even works. I wonder...if I could use my power to restore memories...to restore her memory! It just might work!!]

Jesus wept. ::headdesk::

Episode 11

spoiler[In order to save Mondo, Felicita has to fall in love with someone.
Well, at least she has a lot of guys at her disposal.
Seems like Liberta and Nova are closest to her heart.
Interesting how those two really make an effort 'cause of her.
I'm glad that's helping Liberta to focus and use his power right.]

Episode 12

So last episode. Did anyone else feel the ending was a total cop out? Something about the spoiler[male leads knocking themselves out at the same time, and Felicitá winning by realizing she can love lots of people. And then she gets out of her marriage, which is perfectly acceptable, but uses her wish so her father can be papa for as long as he live], that sounds a bit childish to me.

I don't want to criticize the entire show, I think some of the voice actors did a particularly good job at at bringing an Italian flare to their voices.

[7/9/12] Prediction: spoiler[Bambi develops her power and discovers Papa's true intent with this whole tourney thing, wins the title for herself and chooses her own path.] (can predictions for things you haven't seen be spoilers?)

I think I pretty much nailed it. :)

Yeah that was really stupid. How could they forget that spoiler[one of them just happened to have the ability to restore memories? That does not even sound like an ability that would be too helpful in anything but the exact situation. And to have one kid make some incredibly basic statement, it is like he did not even know his own powers.]

OVA

I make myself do terrible things for completing. So I cam back to this thread just to complain.

It does not even make sense that the characters would be stupid enough to spoiler[eat mysterious chocolates], it is like they are children. As they were I shouted out "No, they are not really going to do a spoiler[body swap] are they?", which it then turned out indeed they were. Didn't make a lick of sense why the characters could not just spoiler[force him to turn them back]. Just so painful!

Wht is it with anime Italy?

Finished the OVA and lol, I almost fell asleep. Jolly was the only good part in the OVA imo.
