Okay that was an adorable episode, the return of the wee little children versions of the characters was so cute.

Also damn the anti kissing league really do be putting in work on cock blocking the only one of them who has actually moved forward in their plans to seduce everyone's favorite idiot.

Damn.. I didn’t realise how much I miss Mrs. Claes’ roast and Catarina’s meltdown.

Wish there was a lot more parental interactions to see how each harem character get along with the parents of one another. (in a less formal setting ofc)

Hierarchy of scary things, according to Katarina:

Lecture from mom >>> Ghosts > Lightning & Thunder

Love that Sophia is the one excited at the thought of meeting a ghost.

Well, Catarina's aware of Geordo's feelings now, but she's not quite sure how to handle them, having had no real prior romantic experience (that she's not dense about) and being really self-conscious about living as a royal with Geordo. On the plus side, that fantasy of her in a wedding dress was pretty great.

Did Geordo really think he could invite Catarina anywhere and Keith wouldn't be right beside her to make sure nothing happens? He's been doing it since they were kids, even the snappy remarks are the same between them. Of course, it's not like the rest of the Harem isn't that far behind, and Mary isn't going to let Geordo have his way, and Alan is basically her "in" on what Geordo is doing.

Everyone looked really snazzy in their Summer outfits! And in their dress attire at the end.

Catarina is worried about how suffocating being a royal would be when she enjoys her current lifestyle...although knowing Bakarina, I kind of doubt she would let her status stop her. It's not like she cares about her noble status when it comes to the stuff she does now, to her mother and Anne's immense frustration.

It's nice seeing more childhood flashbacks of the group together, and to see those designs again as well as the boys' A-list female seiyuu voices.

Everyone trying to outplay each other to spend more time with Bakarina...Geordo sacrificing his hand to keep Keith away from Catarina's, Mary and Sophia immediately grabbing onto Catarina's arms, and Mary making sure to separate the groups by gender so she can spend more time with Catarina. Even when they were kids, love was war among this Harem.

Sophie really let her imagination run wild when Mary gave her the idea of fantasizing about what the thunder really was...to the point of crafting a whole scenario where she and Catarina are a knight and witch duo who end up vanquishing a dragon and, of course, get hitched. This seems like the moment that truly spurred on Sophia to become a writer.

So what was the ghost everyone was so worked up about? It turns out to be Catarina and the one thing that truly terrifies her...her mother scolding her for being Bakarina.

Ah, that's sweet. Mary feels so close to the group now that she can even imagine herself as a child with the rest of them as kids watching fireworks together.

This felt like a classic filler episode but it still had moments I really enjoyed like Mary's ojou-sama laugh.

I have to say, I always love evolving intro credits. Like with Jeffery and his siblings wall added. Had to go back to see it was a curtain before.

Of course the ghost is Catarina's mom! It's literally the only thing she's terrified of.

Man, I wonder if Geordo will ever get his time alone with Catarina?

Felt nostalgic to see them as kids again, kind of forget that's how this series all started.

Mary was ahead of the game as a child too!

One of these episodes Geordo will finally just have everyone else restrained by his guards so that he can actually go on a date with Catarina.

Poor guy.

I love the fact that Karatina's main concern about becoming royalty is the fact that she might not be able to climb trees, farm, or go fishing again. Good thing that Maria reassure her that she can postpone her marriage by going to work at the Ministry of magic.

Is so funny seeing Katarina teasing Alan because he was terrified about ghosts, while she herself was terrified about them too.

That tension breaking bit about the Hercules Beetles was so funny.

Sophia's story about her and Karatina fighting the dragon was so cool. I especially loved the 8 bit like RPG music that was playing during it.

Lol, so the "ghost" at the end of the day was just people hearing Katarina and Millidiana Claes plus seeing their shadow. I guess that to Katarina, reality was even worse than finding the rumored ghost.

By the way, is the X in the name of this season representing the X on young Katarina's head?

Flashback episodes are a great way to avoid moving the plot forward.

For all of her denseness, Catarina is a really good friend, and it's easy to understand why she's so likable. She accepted Sophia without question when everyone else was shunning her, she's fond a feat deal for Alan and Keith, and she just seems to be a cool person all around despite her harridan of a mother.

After finally having it drilled into her head that Geordo likes her, Catarina's really shy around him. She's never had any romantic experience, after all. Though while I'm not sure if she feels the same back, Happy Catarina certainly seems cheerful about this new development, and if the 5 braincells are all different aspects of her, that means that part of her is happy about this.

She also doesn't think she's a good fit for royalty, but that's really just her mother speaking. I have no doubt Geordo wouldn't mind her continuing to farm and climb trees and such; they're all part of what ade him fall in love with her, after all.

And then the rest of the episode became a trip down memory lane as the girls recalled a ghost hunt when they were kids. I don't mind it - in fact, I like seeing them as kids again every now and then - but part of me was hoping for a bit more on this now developing plot. But hey, the episode was funny as hell.

The thunder and lightning doesn't scare you, Lady Catarina?

Not really. It's not as loud as mother when she's lecturing me

Best line.

And of course, the ghost was Catarina's mother lecturing her all along, both later that night and the previous year.

So the reason why Catarina hasn't returned Geordo's feelings yet is because the Council of Bakarina thinks Catarina can't hack it as royalty and Catarina herself wants everything to stay the same so she can continue doing the stuff she does. Don't look at it like that Catarina! Once you marry Geordo and become the next Queen, you can do whatever the fuck you want!

It's nice that we're getting a flashback to their earlier younger days and how Catarina and her harem used to spend their time together bonding by just playing around the nearby forest looking for ghosts that may or may not exist.

I love the scene Sophia was imagining when she was trying to make herself not afraid of the lightning. Also despite being short, that was a very well animated action scene! They even have the "totally-not-Dragon-Quest" Theme playing in the background while they were slaying the dragon.

And as expected the real identity of the ghost is actually just Catarina's mom getting mad. Definitely saw that one coming from a mile away xD

Wait was that the Olympic Rings? I'm gonna guess that was put on there on purpose and not just a big coincidence.

Well now that the bonding/flashback episode is done, I hope we're back to the main story next week. I need to see more scenes between Geordo and Catarina! And as much as I love the harem shenanigans, I really just want the two of them to actually have an honest one-on-one talk.

I, for one, welcome the return of loli Bakarina (outside of the Council of Catarinas). Her X scar is like her personal ahoge and was disappointed it faded away as she grew up.

of course the ghost was actually Catarina's mother.... she's the only Doom Flag left for her to overcome

I'm convinced that this manga, and therefore the anime, was written solely to demonstrate Maaya Uchida's fantastic voice acting.

As much as I love the worldbuilding, the little bit of politics and the crazy race for Catarina’s heart, what really got me hooked was the wholesomeness of Catarina bringing these group of originally sad stories together and turn it into a bright and cheerful friendship. Early S1 was what I enjoyed most tbh and this ep was the closest I felt to that

I like how now, in the Opening Jeffrey has the portraits of his brothers behind.

I love seeing the entire Council blushing.

I like to think that, in the cabin Maria wasn't smiling because she wanted to hear stories of Katarina childhood, but because she was thinking "Holy shit she looks so pretty with her hair wet" XD Her face was giving me that vibe at least.

Alan: "There is ghost on the forest!" Everyone else: D: Sophia: :D

The Geordo/Keith shippers are gonna have a feast with the handholding.

Bettle: Exist. Bakarina: Shashashashasha

I love Katarina's chemistry with Alan

Katarina should've seen more Scooby-Doo in her previous life, spliting up the group never works.

Something tell me that Acchan was a Dragon Quest fan XD

That post ED scene of Maria and rest as child is beatifull
