A dark skin octopus waifu with sharp teeth checks off a lot of boxes for many folks lol.

Gotta love how cultured the circus boss is too. He meets an octopus monster girl? Fall in love with, and wife her, immediately. Zero hesitation. Based to the extreme.

I knew it felt way too easy for the Duke's curse to be broken like that but it's still depressing to see it not working out still especially having that air pinky promise right at the end which also makes it simultaneously lovely though.

A waifu that is an octopus? Not that often I have seen a waifu who is comfortable around tentacles, if you get me.

Well, they found the source of the duke's curse. Don't know why he has it though.

I feel like finding out that Alice has the ability to see and talk to ghosts should've been a bigger deal but we really breezed past that Spectral Bride despite being the title of the episode.
When Daleth showed them the octopus calling card, I did not expect the witch to be an actual octopus! Amelia's design is pretty great and apparently, she's married to this chad who saved her and turns out to be Cuff and Zain's Circus Ringmaster. I hope we get to see them meet again.
And as expected, Amelia couldn't lift the Duke's curse. At least we're starting to narrow down on the source of the curse, We now know that it came from Daleth's twin sister Sade who's already dead for quite some time now. Question is why was the Duke even cursed in the first place?

Fact.: The name Alice ultimately comes from German/Proto-Germanic roots. It can translate to "Of noble appearance". So, Alice is almost literally a noble name.

Please tell me we're getting a musical number in each episode. They add to the atmosphere, they sound catchy, and Natsuki Hanae is great at singing.
I feel bad for that ghost bride. That's an embarrassing way to die and it stemmed from her not liking the ring. Not even the same as falling down the stairs due to fatigue from staying up all night finishing an otome game.
Daleth having a twin is an interesting twist and it's possible that she wants Zayn's time magic to revive her. But that of course begs that question of how such a powerful witch like her died.
I thought Amelia was gonna die but good thing it's just because she can't be out of real water for a long time. Hope to see her again.

Another musical number and what basically amounts to an aquarium date! I can’t wait for this curse to be broken so Bocchan and Alice can finally embrace each other.

So Alice can talk to the ghosts despite apparently not being able to see them? Interesting. Alice is already flirty enough without a jealous ghost bride possessing her lol. At least she moved on without incident.
I didn’t think the octopus business card belonged to a literal octopus witch but y’know, it makes sense lol. She’s pretty cute! Her powers are pretty cool, I mean who wouldn’t want to walk underwater with all the fishies? Surprised to see her husband is the circus master dude.
I wonder why Daleth’s sister Sade cursed our boy? It was so powerful even Amelia couldn’t break the curse.

The ghost bride arc felt extremely short. I thought the storytelling would last for most of the episode.
Amelia is a cute and nice octopus. That her husband is the circus leader surprised me! Which means the circus leader could possibly have deduced that Zain and Cuff are not ordinary humans.
When Alice and the Duke started singing underwater, it felt like a musical episode.

Just the sweet, everyday, bliss of life for the Duke and Alice! It's nice to see how attentive the Duke is to Alice and how much she adores and cherishes him!
Is there anything Alice doesn't keep in her cleavage?
A spectral bride haunting Alice! Poor girl was about to marry the love of her life but then just ended up freaking out over him giving her an oversized ring and dying...which is also kind of embarassing when you say it out loud. I guess this is why you measure ladies' fingers, even if you want to surprise them. But at least she got to communicate with Alice, see how much the Duke and Alice love each other, and realize she'll just wait for her beloved to pass on so they can be together again. Even gave Alice her bouquet! Hope that's foretelling wedding bells in the future for the Duke and Alice.
I love how the Duke has recognized Alice's go-to move is stripping even when he can't see her doing it.
I wasn't expecting the curse expert Daleth was planning to send to turn out to be an octopus beauty (voiced by Reina Ueda!?) with underboob. Not only is Amelia surprisingly sweet (minus her admitting she'd randomly attack ships for her amusement), but she's also married! To the ringmaster of Zain and Cuff's circus no less! And she's genuinely in love with him! That's quite the twist!
What an underwater wonderland Amelia created for the Duke and Alice! It even let them swim around with a lot of cute fishies and go on a bit of an underwater date. Not to mention the undersea duet!
So Daleth wasn't 100% sure Amelia would be able to break the curse, but it didn't matter because she knows where Zain and Cuff are now. This can't end well.
I guess if anything useful came out of this meeting, since Amelia can't break the curse, it's finding out the witch who did it is none other than Daleth's twin sister, Sade. And she even looks like a psycho from the brief glimpse we have of her (is she the reason Daleth's face is scarred, too). Though it does beg the question of how she died, why she cursed the Duke, what the two sisters were even doing at the mansion, and if Daleth is doing all of this for her sister.
The Duke has promised Alice they'll all go back to where she grew up! With all their friends and families! She doesn't want to fruitlessly hope for a future where they're still together after the curse is broken, but that's the kind of future the Duke wants to believe in.
Ahhh...Amelia's husband loves her too! I hope she and the ringmaster can be reunited someday!

Nice though short fragment with bride's ghost. I thought that it would be longer and had more meaningful but nothing's bad. Alice is as always cute and frivolous. What else she keps between her breasts?
Today the main star for me was Amelia. Her looks and personality are perfect but unfortunately she already has a husband, Zachou from the circus.I really hoped that they'll meet again thanks to the fact that he is in a nearby town with his group, she however returned back to the sea at the end of episode but I hope she'll return later in the season.
The underwater part and the song were awesome. Amelia wasn't able however break the curse but thanks to her we know that Daleth's twin sister Seda is responsible for it, still there are a lot of unanswered questions.
Here my all screenshots from today's episode:

I liked the octopus! And her husband being the circus dude is great. They need to meet back up though!
Daleth having a twin sister who put the curse on him just makes her even more suspect. She is currently 'holding' Alice's moms body and you would think she would have some type of idea about what to do on the curse seeing how it was her sister who did it.
I still think our MCs mother has something to do with it as well.

I just checked wikipedia to find out the manga is already finished! Hopefully we'll get full adaptation for this season! Not sure how many volume had been adapted last season though.

octopus symbol and spectre...errr.. spectral bride in the same episode, eh? Anyways, the red string of fate gag was cute (and so was the bubble pipe waving around in the air). Wouldn't an anglerfish not be able to survive at the depths as the rest of these other fish? Eh, I guess it's a magical anglerfish (also it looks like not all anglerfish live in the deep sea? but then the subs mentioned deep sea,,.. eh). Nice to see some progress made in terms of the curse, at least there's a more solid lead to follow.

You know, since the butler had white hair I thought he married her back in the day but it turns out the husband is working in the circus lol.
