THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
SUBS are out! The story is going nice and smooth. I wonder what's up with Raven?
I will definitely update this when subs are out! KEY POINTS:

-Edgar and Lydia ARE GETTING MUCH CLOSER! That's good! Lydia is still fearful of Raven but even more now cause the blood freaked her out but also the fact that he murdered!! I don't blame her fragility. THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HER!

-Raven shows some past of his. Well I get the whole appreciation of his for taking him for what he is by Edgar. Also the fact that he was born as slave sprite and thus freedom to him is precious.

-Huskley you SOB! Still causing problems for Edgar but this time involving her father! How lame and sleazy can you get. I just hope the gun shot at the end did not hurt either.

-I like the little brownies part. Cause they are pretty cute in appearance. Plushie of them for sale??? I understand that they just want to go home but are lost, guess the world in their vision is quite different than humans perceptions.

-The road goes on and they have traveled to the first part of the puzzle that was in the letter. Up to the fairy ring and beyond to the tower. Although this is withing the Merrow territory, I would be careful cause Merrows tend to drag people down to the sea unless that human happens to be the true master.

-There was a really close part that even Lydia says she can barely resist. Should Raven have not come they would have kissed! DAMN! Could have been a early start but ooops sorry Edgar guess another time. :P

HIGHLIGHTS

Lydia blushing is KAWAIIIIII+That scene with edgar is A CLOSE ONE!


That small blood patch freaked out Lydia really bad so one can deduce a very fragile character+KAWAIIII BROWNIES......anyone going to buy a plushie of them??


The new guy is mysterious but he has Merrow blood in him.


I LOVE IT when Lydia blushes!+Lydia gets freaked out by Edgar admitting he is full of lies but also it is more about Raven's killings.


Raven's piece of the past when most likely he was a salve sprite+WTF is in his eye? Dark Faerie Lord....noooo the very own sprite within him!!


The shadow apparently is the old master of the Merrows+LOVE THE STATUE'S art and it happens to be a first clue!


The second clue is not much but I like the idea of a faerie circle+third clue...stone tower???


Huskley you SOB quit your crap already!I APPROVE the way they made Lydia's father: serious yet funny person!


My favorite animal of this anime and I really want to know the guy who controls it+THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM RAVEN!

Great episode, maybe better than the first two, especially since the plot and animation seem to be catching up ! And I still love these characters :)

Loved this episode. I liked the little background about raven. Edgar is such a love/hate character for me. I hate that he's really manipulative/deceptive, but at the same time he's just too charming. I feel just like lydia hahaaa :P

and i thought it was soooo cute when lydia made the path for the brown fairy. could it like not see or something ??

I know exactly what you mean. I want to punch him, but at the same time, if I were Lydia, I would totally feel myself overwhelmed. I have to say, I'm cheering more for Raven at this point, though xD I don't like all of Edgar's lies either :S We have absolutely no idea what he feels or thinks any time, and it's kind of annoying.

I'm so glad that we actually got some faeries this episode! Even though it was very small, the lemon water path was interesting. I can't wait to see more :D

So is Edgar proposing marriage to get her father to let her stay with him? Or is it because he apparently has to be married to a fairy doctor in order to get the sword and become the heir? As much as shoujo heroines like to be "forced" into being royalty by a dashing prince, Edgars lack of true remorse (because even his remorse feels fake to me) puts a bit of a damper on it.

Yay for Mamoru next epi! I have to say though, I never expected Lydia to know him. I assumed he was another one of Edgar's troupe or unwanted followers. Looking forward to learning more about him and that wolf ;)

Very good episode!

Muahaha Lydia is falling for Edgar x) And he almost succeded to seduce her this time. Great timings, Raven
The path for the brownie was very cute *nods*
Her father's reaction was the best. Way to go, Edgar!
I reckon they are hiding something about Ermine. Maybe something like Edgar x Ermine? hmmm...
Seems like we're about to meet the black wolf spectre at last

No, I didn't get it wrong. Unlike you I watched the subs, and he says "I wonder what it tastes like?", and is about to taste it (?) when Raven knocks.

Maybe but that is just a form of speech. You don't think he really would do that? I would be surprised cause in episode he kissed them. What are you talking about subs......I watch RAW and subs. I get both and I think he said in figure speech way.

That is OF COURSE just a opinion of mines.

A FEW TERMS:

Fairies we all know are most likely from Celtic religion.

Spunkies I am not familiar but Will O the Wisps I am. I was not aware what they were but it is interesting to note that they are spirits of dead babies not baptized.

Dark spectral hound.......I would say MORE HELL HOUND. A dark wolf huh!? I did not think they would associate it with Unseelie Court. Unseelie I think would in CELTIC myth. Normally it would be a type Leader in the occult world of CELTIC MYSTICISM.

Oh man. I once had a HUGE crush on a friend of mine who was exactly like Edgar. I mean, he didn't have so many lies and whatnot, but his personality was just like that. I'd ask a simple question and he'd turn it into some kind of teasing question and on the one hand, I'd get pissed off at him for doing that but on the other, I'd kind of end up being happy inside. And I could never tell if what he was saying was true or not D: So yeah. Totally know how Lydia's feeling. Gotta say though, this show isn't too terrible because there's just something that makes me enjoy it. Maybe it's Edgar's personality or it's Lydia's...or it's Raven's! Something mysterious that makes me want to keep watching =P

I bet Edgar is going to turn out to have a sense of honor, but one that just doesn't fit his circumstances.

In this episode, he said he was full of "true lies." And yet he implied that he really was an earl by birth.

My bet is that in the end, his "true lies" will turn out to be totally honest, but for some circumstantial reason, the people who needed to understand couldn't understand, so he called them "lies" when they weren't.

I don't think Edgar is particularly manipulative. Aggressive, yes. Forward, yes. But he gives people open choices. I don't think he's going to be a swindler, when all is revealed.

Edit:
Remember that Edgar is under the threat of death every single day and Lydia is probably his last chance to survive, because without that title, he'll probably be cornered and shot to death.

So when he says he can't live without her, it's literally true.

Why is there love for Edgar. All his charming acts and words are lies.-_- And even as he tells truth, just as he said himself, it's all to lie even more. It's now a wonder those people here saying that are female. tz :P

And as everybody said, finally some fairys and less guns and swords.

I have to say that I am head over heels for this show. Raven seems so gentle yet fierce, and Edgar I am not sure about he seems so caring yet fake and pretencious at the same time. The wolf seems like an interesting addition, I wonder what he will bring to the plate?

The brownies are really cute. I love them

So his brain was really taken? omg I'm speechless -.-

Being caught eavesdropping is a scary thing.

The proposal is unexpected and funny. Edgar is such a good liar. Lydia's dad was easily fooled. Too kind-hearted i think?

The black spectral hound is something I'm looking forward to!

i love that they actually added the scene where nico talked with the brownies! in the manga, he just showed up and told lydia he talked with the local brownies and found this out, so i thought it was a nice addition. more fairies is always a good thing. ^^

speaking of additions, ii kinda like how they are mixing up the manga content and the novel/new content. the lack of ermine during conversations was covered up well by the accidental eavesdropping, for one. i'm still wondering about that dark spectral hound though. i never read the light novels (btw, does anyone know where i can read them?), but it wasn't in the manga.

and i'm still not the hugest fan of the ending. it just doesn't fit the story.

The fairies are too cute. This episode was better than the last one considerably.

However Raven continues to be significantly better than the protagonists, Lydia continues to be dull ("Tom boy"!? My butt -_- if she was an actual Tom boy she might be interesting), and Edgar has not yet made up for being a manipulative person.
