Anne's plan sounds strange and also risky...

Imo, this was one of the more intense episodes in terms of psychological impact. Richard dressed up as a woman while Buckingham has the look of a devil. Yikes.

Truly a banquet we'll never forget.

Richard as a maid was hot as fuck lol

Also, managed to read up to volume 12 of the manga, and yes manga readers were correct, a LOT of things were cut in the adaptation. This includes Richard and Buckingham's relationship, which was explored more in the manga (even before the scene in this episode where they kissed at the lake surrounded with white roses).

Another thing to watch out for is that man who Richard bumped into during the feast. I think this is his first introduction in the anime, but he was supposed to appear a bit early on during Richard's fight for the throne against Queen Elizabeth.

Back to the anime, Richard has laid bare everything and has accepted who he is, Buckingham has fully dedicated himself to serve Richard as king, and now, we have Richmond, one of the few surviving members of Lancaster, plotting a scheme against the Yorks, and the mysterious man who Richard thinks is the late Henry VI. Will be curious to see where we go from here.

So I read the manga like a couple weeks ago and I’m caught up and now watching it there is a LOT of things that they cut out that would have added a lot more of Buckingham and Richards relationship and would have really been impactful to see their connection. Also it would have been cool to see the behind the scenes more that is in the manga than just telling what’s happening.

Back to the anime I think when Annie saw her husband with Buckingham, she was thinking WTF and tbh I don’t blame her.

Annie wants to test Richard and see if he would wear a dress to this party and see his reaction and Richard is like “nope not falling for that”. He puts on the dress and everyone wants him but all Richard can think of is Buckingham.

They eventually confirm their feelings for one another and then go to the same cabin where Richard and Henry were in the first half of the anime. Now it’s revealed that Buckinghams first name is Henry and that the late King Henry might still be alive.

I think the anime is ok but the manga has so many more details that just adds to the story so much and I think if they keep going at this pace then it won’t be that good at the end

"I have no one but [Buckingham] to embrace this body." This line was truly heartbreaking - no Richard, you also have Catesby!

It appears Richard and Buckingham have developed a codependent relationship yet it is this same relationship that is simultaneously causing the former's PTSD surrounding Henry VI to resurface. This trauma is further exacerbated when Richard learns that Buckingham's name is also Henry. Moreover, it appears Henry VI may in fact be alive and well.

Richard wants more intimate moments with Buckingham, yet for Anne to spot them both together, that must've been quite the shock.

But as for the Earl of Richmond, Henry Tudor's efforts to kill people and pin it all on Richard, plus Anne's worries and Catesby's allegiance to Richard, it's slowly unraveling in fate to come. And regardless of what went down, Richard's "paradise" banquet will continue in this premise.

Richard and Anne, but none like Adam and Eve, much akin to Anne trying to find out if Richard is truly intersex like he is by donning a maid dress outfit. But when all the wear is put together, Richard definitely looks like a beautiful woman that leaves everyone captivated, and Buckingham comes in the shape of a demon costume to lead him away and have their consummation in private.

Back to the cabin where Richard and Henry first met, the haunted memories are coming back for the former, and this will forever be shrouded in darkness.

Finally, FINALLY, an episode that breaks the fast pacing for a slow one that adapts the manga to a T. But this has already come at a cost of speeding the adaptation and a severely-limited budget of the show's production.

Yes it is. If you're wondering where the anime is now at this stage, it just ended Volume 13 in a 17-volume total package.

What the fu...?? Bro, that's a volume and half per episode! Now I get why the manga fans (even the author afaik) are upset with how this adaptation is being made.

Great episode! Anne now has more doubt of Richard being a woman...
She told him to dress up as a woman with the reasoning being that if he dressed up as one without any hesitation it would mean that he definitely isn't one as if he was, he wouldn't appear in public like that.
It seems that Richard really does have feelings for Buckingham...
And it seems that that idiotic actor guy knows Richard's son isn't really his son...
It seems that Richard sees Henry in Buckingham...

Looking forward to the next episode!

It has been rushed ever since the very beginning, at worse you'll have an episode worth a volume's content shrunk down to the episode duration, and that's bad.

Did Beth sneak inside the castle or was she invited to Richard's party? I swear sometimes it's hard to keep up with a noble's current status at the court.

at least there's a full adaptation, people can't be grateful. Most adaptations adapt 1/10th of the manga and they never get a second season.

Another great episode. The pacing is so much better that ep 17.

I still don't like Buckingham at all, his relationship with Richard was born out of lust, mutual benefits and there isn't actual love but a lot of possessiveness. But... I feel bad for him XD Being compared to others is really a sad thing. Please, dears characters or someone end that unhealthy relationship.

I love Anne but I didn't like her plan. Why all want to confirm the truth about Richard? Anyways, he looks beautiful in that dress! His scene with Catesby was sad lol I wish circumstances were different for both of them x'D

Plus, it's good to see Henry is back.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Which is funny because if this is rushed then I'm curious how good the manga is. I've liked this story quite a bit, so that means the manga must be amazing in comparison

Amazing, love this episode. I thought Anne believe what his late husband said about Richard.... Guess she still want to believe that Richard is a Man.

Oh No, Buckingham real name is also Henry.. great timing Buckingham... Only Catesby knew about Richard true feeling toward Henry.

That preview title, so cute...

No it's not a full adaptation. Its cut more content then it's adapted. It will adapt through the final vollume but you're basically watching a clip show. Both in animation quality and content. If you enjoy the story read the manga.

I almost cry with the ending. The romantic feelings that Henry and Richard shared in the first couple episodes really hit me. And now seeing Richard remembering everything and Henry appearing at last, oh God, I need more episodes.

Also, I still have them on my phone wallpaper, I was sure he was coming back 😭😭

I'm also happy to see he's back! I love their relationship. They were so sweet together in the first half.

While Richard was missing Henry, it turns out the new person he liked is also called Henry! haha. His name was always written right here on MAL, but I never made that connection because of all the characters that shared the same name. It's like those funny scenes in horror movies where a character runs up the stairs to escape a ghost, and after reaching a certain distance, the ghost is just waiting for them in the person's destination like "About time you got here!"

Oh god, Ishida Akira is an Earl! From Lancaster! And, he's Henry too! Is he also going to be a part of Richard's Henry collection?

Our Henry has returned as a shepherd. It was a nice way to get us to recognise him in case we hadn't already.

Anne reacted more to female Richard than male Richard. I approve! lol

Richard is so hot, whether presenting femininely or masculinely. I love how Anne was very attracted to Richard in a dress.

I swear 90% of the characters are named Henry or Edward lmao. Buckingham you will always be Buckingham to me.

The scene in the water with Richard and Buckingham was quite romantic.

Happy to see the appearance of former king, Henry T_T I legit cried when he 'died' and felt less excited about the show for a bit. Praying that their reunion is not a tragic one - I can't bare to lose Henry again.

Richado in women's clothes is shockingly pretty!
Looks like Buckingham scored in favour of Richado and got a no Homo kiss huh...
5/5.
