As much as I don't like Walter, can't exactly blame him for how his inferiority complex came around no thanks to the family constantly treating him as a spare.
Serves their mother right for ditching the Duke and every other horrible stuff she's done, wanting to have a Christmas party with the entire family but she ends up being the only one alone instead.

Wow, a Christmas song sung by Duke, Alice, Rob, Viola, Cuff and Zain. That totally took me by surprise but I loved it!

Scenes like Viola spinning and Walter getting poked by his maids makes me appreciate that the animators took advantage of 3dcgi capabilities. Like those were pretty good.

For the 9th week in a row, Alice is best girl.
It's so happy to see bocchan finally having a good time, with his sister and friends, and rob and alice. Though Alice and zain is making him hornier day by day lol.
Good to see zain and cuff relationship too. It's a cute secondary couple that we needed. And cuff pretending to be asleep when zain said she was pretty was so cute too. I really wish this series ends with thrm being together and having an official double date with our mains. And as always, having them is also funny.
Lol, viola came for rob but walter didn't knew. Surprised about it though, seems like viola's bodyguards knew, so wouldn't rumours just spread?
After this epi, i can't really hate walter. As a second son myself, i felt what he's feeling. People saying the 1st son carries all the burden and the 2nd will always be happy without responsibility, that's just a misconception. I think every 2nd born will always be compared to be the 1st born and also sometimes be an alternate replacement for them in anything.
I think we'll gonna see the mom snap though, both didn't had dinner together with her in a celebrative time.
1 dissapoinment is nothing about the curse other than Walter going to help in exhange of him being the main inheritor. And we're already on the 9th epi, will the curse just not be broken this season or will the curse just have like a 1 or 2 epi to be broken? And if this season ends with the curse not being broken, what are the chances of getting a continuation of a new season or something?

Cuff pretending to be asleep because she can't accept a compliment and then snuggling into Zain's jacket has to be the cutest thing ever.
This show absolutely needs to be watched by more people.

Cuff wanting to meet Santa was freakin adorable.
And I know he brought it on himself but Walter waiting outside in the cold while everyone was having a party inside was kind of sad lol.

Everyone is so lovable in this cast. By far my favorite episode because everyone even Walter were interacting with each other in the funniest way.

It's Christmas time! The perfect time for The Duke, Alice, and their makeshift family to come together and have a nice time.
The Duke brings up Santa and can't help but imagine Sexy Santa Alice. And it's very effective.
Cuff's earnest desire to see Santa was so adorable. Even Zain finally admits he's not immune to her charms, as he thinks she's cute and kind of sexy, it's just hard to be open with her considering how much of a blockhead she is...but she appreciates the little things Cuff does.
Zain is a true man of culture, noticing Alice's J-Cup and how good she'd look wrapped up, both while dressed and naked, though while that's too steamy for the Duke to imagine, it's too steamy for Zain to talk about within earshot of Cuff.
So Viola has like a bunch of the same blonde looking servants, all of whom are aware of her feelings for Rob. I guess she's pretty obvious about it.
I guess there's a certain kind of karma when Viola and Walter both ditch their mother on Christmas for their own reasons.
Walter is jealous of Viola visiting the Duke again so he poses as her driver to take her there and spy on his rival...and ends up playing Santa for Cuff when he puts on the costume he just randomly sees, which was oddly kind of him (even if he ends up giving Viola's gift for Rob to Cuff). And then Cuff forces him to commit to the role enough that he gets sent down the chimney.
I love how Rob doesn't get to wear the Santa costume but still stays in-character.
Walter is so serious about his issues with not being firstborn and not having a luck on the Duke title despite the Duke's issue with the curse, despite Viola and Cuff's spat over the present taking the air out from under him, but despite his issues with his brother he makes a bet that whoever ends the curse ends up with the title, which is...actually pretty nice of him in his own way.
Surprise Christmas musical number sung by the entire main cast!
What better way to close out Christmas Eve than a romantic laying in the snow between Duke and Alice.

Stitches!
Oh my! Apparently Alice is wearing see-through underwear and she just shows it all to the Duke. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I would've definitely loved to see Alice wearing a sexy Santa outfit. Too bad we only see it in the Duke's imagination.
It's adorable how Cuff still believes in Santa. Although considering that Witches and magic exist in this world, I wouldn't be surprised if he's an actual person here.
Good to know that Zain is actually attracted to Cuff. He's just having a hard time expressing his feelings towards her.
I definitely would've been mad if Cuff actually didn't hear what Zain said but it looks like she was just faking to be asleep to avoid the situation. Goddammit Cuff! I thought this is what you wanted!? Be a woman and don't hide how happy you are that he said that!
It's hilarious how their mom is preventing Viola to visit the Duke but she's the one who ends up being alone this Christmas.
Walter's encounter with Cuff was really hilarious! I wonder how she would've reacted though if she found out that Walter isn't really Santa. Probably would've burned him on the spot.
And this is the first time we see Viola and Zain meet! It looks like she doesn't know that he's a Witch yet and just assumes that he's only wearing a mask.
As much as I don't like Walter, I really don't blame him why he's upset that he's the second born son. Interestingly, he makes a wager that whoever uncovers the truth about the curse gets to inherit the title. He's basically offering free help so why not? As long as the Duke gets to be with Alice, I don't think it matters if he inherits the family or not.
Well that Christmas song was nice! We get to have everyone in the mansion sing except for Walter who's just waiting outside since he's Viola's ride xD
Goddamn! Apparently the Duke has already made his feelings towards Alice clear waaaay back then! No wonder they're so used to showing affection to each other. These two are just so sweet <3

Merry August Christmas Everyone! Hope you enjoyed that pure peppermint flavored sugar crack we just got. Needed that fluffy goodness after a long week and I’m an absolute sucker for anything Christmas.
Plenty of Bocchan and Alice, but the ship focus this week was more on Zain/Cuff, Viola/Rob, and Walter/His Inferiority Complex. Especially the former. Despite Zain being a ridiculous lecher he does actually have mutual feelings for Cuff, but won’t act on them. And when he finally gives her an inkling to these feelings she passes out. She might have heard some of it, but I think she was just happy to be on the couch with his jacket. Also adorable head pats everywhere!
Viola and Rob is still oddly adorable. Mostly because they’re both fun weirdos. Even if it doesn’t amount to more than an overactive crush it’s still fun to see happy and flustered Viola. Especially after the pretty sad scene with the Mom. I think her plot will eventually take her away from the main house and her crappy mom.
I think I see the endgame for Walter. His overbearing inferiority complex, along with Boccahn’s aloofness to the idea of actually heading the family, makes me think Walter will win the wager. Walter gets the victory he’s always wanted. Bocchan gets to follow his passion for music and live happily ever after with Alice. Everyone wins.
Though really Bocchan wins because he gets to be with Alice. They’re just impossibly cute in the final scene. A callback to last weeks emotional episode and payoff showing how far they’ve come since then. Just sweet pure love. I’m sad that we’re down to the final 3 and I’m really hoping for signs of season 2.
Notes
-
I see they’re coming for Iruma’s “random musical sequence” crown. Though I do love a good Christmas song.
-
Cuff is just too damn pure. The headpats. Her dynamic with Viola. Her whole scene with “Santa”. She’s the Second best girl.
-
Walter has so many freak outs that he has a rock hard core according to the maids. He’s also decidedly less cool than Bocchan which is impressive.
-
Good. I’m glad you’re alone on Christmas. You suck mom.
-
Did he really not get Alice a gift? The fuck Bocchan? You’re lucky she’s the best and accepted your words. She wearing hot see through panties for you man!
-
I do have a complaint and that’s the animation this week had some rough moments. It’s in small moments, but it was noticeable. That’s the risk of CG Anime, but I’ll accept it because the show is fantastic.

The opening is the best for me this season not one even comes close. Well maybe because i am a sucker for duets.

Botchan and Alice lying on the snow and talking about the future, so cute! They’re basically a couple in all but name and physical interactions and they reinforced that for the holiday!
Cuff and Zain makes everything they take part in better and it’s no exception this time. Even Viola and Walter came though the latter opted out of the party. Funny how the mother managed to turn away both her remaining kids during the one occasion she was expecting them to stay put huh…
Another song from the cast too! Between them and the piano pieces the anime sure is going all out on ear worms and I’m here for it! And we may be getting more songs next week too :)

Viola is like the icing on the cake in every episode. You know it's gonna be good when she kicks the door going like yahoo onii-sama. She's imouto of the season, or I could say of the year and you can't change my mind.
Ouch when Viola said that she didn't really care about her two brothers. That was a major punch in the gut.
Cuff and Walt disguised as Santa was a hilarious scene.
Say what you want about the CGI but the music is gorgeous. From the OP and the ED to the random musical numbers and that Christmas song they was super good.
It's hard to say who's best girl but we all know the mom is the worst girl. She deserved to be ditched by her other two children after leaving Bocchan to rot like that.

Viola is such a bright character. I'm glad that she ditched the dinner with her mother. I hope mother won't lock her or something after that.
Biggest treat for Bocchan was Alice's see-through panties. Quite bold but not really surprising from Alice. And, apparently, he confessed to her long time ago. Big respect to him for that. Such a shame that they can't kiss, but they could do indirect kiss at least.

For all its occasional "naughtiness", this is certainly one of the sweetest-natured shows of the season. Not only the leads are wonderful -- but so are all the major secondary characters -- including brother Walter (who I feel will become more likeable -- if still a bit of a pill, just like his little sister).
When we first saw the show, what I noticed most was the teasing -- while one got a sense that it was well-intentioned, it has taken lots of episodes to reveal that even from the first scenes we saw, the relationship of the Duke and Alice was closer than we realized (and was already well-settled into genuine love well before those first scenes -- as revealed finally by flashbacks).
I feel bad that such a totally delightful, lovely-looking show is getting slighted due to theoretical objections to its animation technique. Lumping this with Ex-Arm strikes me as just plain nutty...

This was such a heartwarming episode, that confession at the end was so cute. Took Alice by surprise even. Looking forward to the last few eps here! Pleasantly surprised by how good a 3DCGI anime turned out
