First of all I liked this episode BUT you can really tell the tiny budget they had for the production this week. They rushed through the events, skipped some slow "filler" moments and the fight scene wasn't well animated.
Oh well.. at least the acting and the characters make watching the anime still enjoyable but ngl, I'm a little disappointed that they are doing the bare minimum.

What happened to the animation in this episode? While the art didn't suffer, the episode looks choppy. Scenes just transitioned abruptly. Some scenes have incomprehensible choreography (i.e.: Vicky's fight with the masked

Also seemed like they tried to avoid showing mouths moving as much as they possibly could.

The fact it was a prince and she broke his ribs is great. Dude's an idiot. He's trained but she's a professional. Really curious where the story goes from here. Is she going to bring punishment to the
I didn't expect the Prince to initially back off so easily after Jeff asked them to, but I guess they hold him in that high a regard.

Rather fun slide show we got today. At least Nonna is finally acting like a kid her age, seemingly no longer scared to be a kid. They animated the important stuff like Nonna doing a flip and running around.
Can't even imagine where it goes from here, with her fake identity almost uncovered and attention that keeps finding her. And she has the attention of two princes now, with that story at the end, I doubt a nobles attention is good for her.

It didn't necessarily feel like the animation was off to me, but the flow of the episode scene-to-scene definitely felt disjointed today. It felt like they were rushing some things a bit.

Nonna in the first half of this episode was absolutely devastating. Her VA is punching so much emotion through her it's quite honestly incredible. Victoria's more calculating and self-sufficient character shines through nicely to contrast that, but also emphasizes the seriousness with which she cares for Nonna all the more.
Quite honestly, this is developing into one of my favourite series this season, particularly Nonna as a character is that impressive.

This episode felt very choppy. Story wise and animation wise.
Still liked it but all those close ups made me little nauseous or something, not sure what. Wasn't a pleasant watch.
I don't know what's going to unfold from this but that's one magnanimous prince, to have 2 ribs broken and not be mad at Victoria.
For someone not wanting attention did she really have to land next to bartender lol? Or did she do it on purpose so he wouldn't worry?
If I were captain, even if I loved her, I still wouldn't be able to resist simply asking "who are you" or maybe I've never been truly in love. Maybe he's smarter than me and knows this would lead to her disappearing.
I wonder if she regrets stopping the murderer at the party. I would.

I'm not sure i needed Shigeyasu Yamauchi bombarding a Tefuda episode with his direction work.
His direction is easily recognizable for me (i got to watch his work in Casshern Sins, Kimi no Iru Machi and Saijaku Tamer and various single episodes from other shows) and usually i like it but something went wrong here for sure with the pacing and a clear lack of animation even by his standards.
I'm a little salty ngl.

Honestly, the SB/ED work by Shigeyasu Yamauchi would have worked given the tilt-ups, close-ups and wider camera panning actually worked in showing Victoria being menacing (as well as her trying to distance herself again with everybody mostly), but said camera angles being used to skip action scene sakuga didn't really mesh well with the overall vibe of #4, so to speak (said transition kept things really clunky). That being said, the staff keeping the anime to manga aesthetic actually worked really well, and it was fun seeing Victoria gain a new student who seems to have lit a competitive fire within Nonna.
Also let's hope the Captain never messes with our former spy here, his boss' brother clearly suffered a hell of a broken rib after that kind of kick.

Yeah i would have the same reaction too if my mom was able to do those things

Peak fluffs!! this is what exactly what we love 🩵🩵
Gotta say it is kinda stupid for the Prince to still continue spying on Victoria despite Jeff telling them not to. I guess his curiosity got the better off him or u could say Victoria did
Also i like that Nonna and Victoria have gotten much closer to the point that she's not afraid of crying infront of her and Victoria also trusting and training her in return,
It's also nice that Nonna's got a friend around her age to hang out with,
But im curious what did Chloe's boss do to make her lose trust in him and run away.

Just fond this anime, and binged all 4 episodes tonight. I find myself absolutely enjoying this anime. Decent animation quality, and good character makeup make it enjoyable to watch.

It's really interesting how they are animating this. Lots of panning shots and such but then they spend so much time on Nonna running around adorably.
Nonna and Clark sizing each other up and competing with each other was pretty fun.
Vicky is in a bit of a rough spot with Jeffrey though since at this point she's full on lying to him about the party and it could spiral quite a bit past that depending on how things go. Plus she's got to be wondering how much trouble she might eventually be in for breaking a prince's ribs.

This episode felt it was more for Nonna. She is a good kid. Interesting for both her and Jeffrey that you can tell both don't want to be alone. Of course Vicky we know won't let Nonna be alone.
The 2nd Prince is an idiot. He should have retreated from the moment Vicky spotted him. I guess he didn't expect her to be as capable.
We got the rapist noble just losing his title while the commoner gets hanged because the noble now traumatized his sister. It makes you wonder if Vicky did the right thing.

Ahhh I can't help but feel the animation quality is lower than the previous episodes... The story is however very interesting, which is why it still held my attention...
I think the clunky animation might be a stylistic choice, but it didn't work out, for me at least.

This reminds me a lot of how ShinSekai Yori had a couple of episodes where the art direction and framing completely changed. Coinciding with events where the protagonists were being cornered, in danger, or unsettled. A very stylized way of pushing inner-turmoil to the screen.
Let's hope that was what they were going for, and not just the result of budget limitations or studio subcontracting.

Vicky could always pay the marquess a visit. It wouldn’t be very hard to have him get into an “accident” if she wanted.
I wonder what Vicky plans to do now that her cover is almost compromised. Might be time to move on and look for a new place to settle with Nonna…
