Yah, Battler and Beatrice are pretty much why I’m watching too.

Agreed on that. I don’t think they could keep a secret to save their life…Kanon and Jessica is much more interesting, although I like Shannon better then both of them. George doesn’t really stand out to me.

Ho hum. I really in it for Beatrice and Battler. I love both of them as characters and the interaction between those two. <3

I do like Shannon’s fighting spirit, but Shannon and George’s love story seems more ho-hum mundane than it should be, considering it’s a “forbidden relationship.” They’re both very likable, but the two lack charisma.

I really like Shannon…I find her willingness to overcome her place in life contrasted against Kanon’s grim acceptance easily, and I really like her attempt to change her own destiny. I liked her speech in this episode pointing out that while she’ll die, at least she overcame that destiny.

Kanon accepting that he isn’t furniture did feel too rush for me considering that he was still 100% pure furniture just a few episodes back. This is how it looked to me: Jessica sacrifices herself for him thus he must love her. Does he even like her before that? I don’t know. Since Kanon was the one that emphasizes being furniture the most (it got old)seeing him deny that he isn’t furniture felt just too rush for me. I was expecting that development to occur in later arcs.
Shannon.. I don’t know, maybe I just don’t like her. Maybe it’s her voice actress or how she looks (boing) that I can’t take her seriously. I liked how they illustrated George in the first game but in the anime version to me he’s just a rich guy with glasses with a very meddlesome mother who wants to score with the hawt maid. My take is that they haven’t been through enough (compared to Higurashi) to make me feel enough sympathetic towards them.
Beatrice and Rosa are my fav characters (after this episode) Battler has also become more likeable and Maria isn’t so annoying anymore. I definitely like what they’ve done with them in this arc. I hope they keep it up.

Character development is overrated. Didn’t you feel anything when Beatrice cruelly cut off even the most basic expression of love between Shannon and George? What about with Beatrice’s hint of anger when Shannon keeps on extolling love? Or when Beatrice appears in front of Shannon and George like she owns the world?

Hmm, I’ve only been talking about Beatrice’s reactions. Maybe you’re right …

Shannon and George lack so much character… Even after all that build-up about the mirror, furniture, and everything I still didn’t feel anything when they died. To be frank, I was almost cheering on Beatrice at that moment I feel almost the same way about Kannon and Jessica.

Good catch. I didn’t notice Beatrice’s fang. I was too busy looking somewhere else, her finger snapping skills sure caught my attention.
