Oh boy, Alice's teasing really has no bounds. And honestly, the way she teases the Duke this episode got even more intense than usual. That also causes the Duke to get some wild imaginations in his head lul

Their little visit to the city side felt like a date in her mind. And tbh, I think that made the episode even more amusing. Alice is such a fun character to watch with her playful personality.

Another one of Bocchan's talent is that he's a pro at Billiards but even he can't hold a candle in from of Alice and her tactics. LOL. Alice and Bocchan went to the town with a lot of people in there and surprisingly enough, Bocchan enjoyed his time there. Everyone was dancing to his piano and he even made a little kid happy. Good job, Bocchan.

They're such a cute couple. I love them so much. Also, the OSTs in this show are so good. Alice is such a great character. That story of the Princess and the Moon was great on such a festive occasion. Also, Alice is such a tease in front of Bocchan. Can't love her enough.

Not bad for a first date, there were a few troubles but they both had a good time ( ̄ω ̄)

Ahh, I would have liked a crazy night, but there's still a long way to go, I hope the curse doesn't last much longer 0.0

Alice is jokes! She acts so sexually charged and yet so wholesome a the same time lol

Honestly enjoying the CGI, it's getting less and less noticeable as I watch it, like it's still weird at times but its good that there's barely any jerky movements.

His outfit looks like he's a plague doctor lmao, and alice looks ready to go to a funeral. The impromptu band plus the dodgy dancing killed me

"Because even though I'm staying so close to you, I feel like you're the farthest thing away from me". That's very sad, tbh.
Their date was very cute and lovely. I hope the day they will be able to hold their hands together will come soon.

Such a sweet yet sad episode. Alice is a sweetheart!!!!!!!

The piano performance & everyone else joining in was so nice. Lol @ that kid’s cute dancing.

The after-credits scene was so cute too. And the silence after that with Alice moving closer to him was so bittersweet :(

Every time I watch an Episode of this Anime, I always love it, and I usually don't like CG, but it's done so well.

I feel very bad for bocchan, he loves her and she loves him, yet he feels so distant, even when they're close. I am genuinely curious to what I would do in his situation, go for the kiss but literally kill her, or not kiss and just continue this life of no contact with anyone. I think I would try to beat the curse and not kill her, I wouldn't like her to die in that way, although it would be quite romantic and interesting to die while being kissed, but yeah lol.

Looking forward to the next episodes, really liking it so far.

Heh, Alice really knows how to seduce her way to a victory. I'd say that date in town was quite nice; everyone seemed swell and, nothing out of the norm happened. The osts really do a lot for this show. Their relation can only be described as So close yet so far. Hopefully, they'll be able to hold hands soon.

My new headcannon for this show is that Alice can't stand this guy and wants to die, but she doesn't touch him herself because it would be obvious suicide. Instead she tries to get him to do it in lust so it comes off as murder.

I was starting to get somewhat used to the CGI, I think it's a little less choppy and the models are more expressive than they were at the start, HOWEVER all of a sudden they decided to make scenes with mostly 2D characters in it and it was kind of jarring. Even though they were fairly low quality they still had more expression than the plasticy robotic 3D models of Duke and Alice. At least they managed to make them blend in decently when they weren't moving.

I wonder who was the person that stopped Alice at the festival, she (I'm assuming it was a woman) recognized because of how she look like her mother but not her, I'm I over thinking if I start believing that Alice's mother may be related or the witch herself?

Man this is great, the couple's just way too cute.
I think the CG animation's pretty fine. The 2D animation at the festival was admittedly a little weird-looking in comparison though.

Another superb episode

It's so refreshing to see a romance show where both characters are open about their attraction to each other. Really makes this show unique compared to all the other generic romance shows. The end of Part A with the shadow depicting them kissing was executed to perfection. Part B of them going to see the meteor shower was nice too.

CG looks great as always. If anything, I kind of wish they did the entire show in CG, as some of the drawn 2D characters and background looked out of place when it's next to high quality CG.

Bocchan and Alice’s relationship is one of the best I’ve ever seen. They really were made for each other and if I don’t see them kiss by the end of this, I’m going to be very upset. They deserve that happiness.

A game of billiards for Boochan to rest hs mind over books, and Alice knows where to pose for her continuous sexual harassment, which Bocchan lost from the hissing.

A trip to town for a festival, and more than just a date for Alice to Bocchan, which the latter got lost and had to play the parental role for a lost child. So, what to do? Play the grand piano right in the midst of a town centre and get the townsfolk all rag-tag with melancholic dance. The ice cream debacle and the clock tower of a moon story, hopefully both has had a good time with the kiss of the shadow.

Going to Alice's room and encountering her buck naked is funny though. Hah, so Alice wears a G-string lols, that's the extent for some sexy underwear, and almost giving him that "treatment". Bocchan showing Alice his secret place to view a meteor shower, and saving his hat from a fall into the water. A romantic "kiss of death", imagine how that would be if it came true, but of course, Alice plays it off as usual.

Another lovely episode.

Damn beating someone with teasing is Alice's speciality. A lot of fanservice as usual. But idm, that's what makes it even better. A wholesome slice of life moment in town. The piano play was pretty good tho. The second half was a bit more romantic. Hopefully he'll be able to kiss her in the future.

When Alice asked him to kiss her, I decided right then and there that I would watch the next episode if he did. Either she dies or she doesn’t die, both outcomes would have made this generic “girl teases boy” anime infinitely more interesting. But he didn’t do it, so that’s it for me.

I think Alice's mother is the Witch that put the Curse on Bocchan. The way she reacted when that Masked Woman asked about her seemed very suspicious. Especially since the masked womans outfit was strongly related to death.

\Overall I thought it was a great episode.

My God the tempting of Death is strong in this one. And I was like "Oh no!!!!" When He watched Alice fall into the lake. God I feel so bad for him but he made the right call.

I think Alice was also a little bit shy at the end as well.

Beautiful episode. Also, somehow this the first time I've noticed the canvas-like backgrounds. Really cool touch.

Hmm, at first I thought the woman in white that stopped Alice might have been Bocchan's mother (who I've thought might possibly be the witch herself for some time now), especially since it looked like she had her own family with her. But that probably doesn't make any sense. If anything it's her mother who was the witch, because of that whole 'dance' thing that was alluded to earlier.

More sol time, but now its on the nearby town. Pretty bold idea, indeed, and its sacrificed Bocchan existency. Lul. The piano play absolutely nice in my ears, even though i still don't like the surrounding that not giving any lively moment. At least Bocchan and his maid still lovely. So, its fine.

Idk whats up with those lady in a shady costume. She may give some hint over the curse. But, well, that's just be it, nothing more. Though, i wonder if the curse really a thing for Bocchan. I mean, toward all the people. I clearly never see any people touching him, or am i forgetting something here? So, perhaps the curse just not be effected to the people, at least for the kuro maid. Its actually just a tease, like Alice did after all this time xd.

Still, that's just my wild assumption, nothing more. Hopefully i am wrong. In the end the tease always intense. But, that's just it. Okay. So, lets see whats goin on next, then ....

Nice episode, so it seems Bocchan can touch people if he wears a metal armor. That should enable some hugs with Alice so it's a bummer they didn't experiment more.

I am a bit salty some background characters got proper 2D animation though.

Now I'm even more convinced, that Alice nifht be the witch and she might be the one who cursed Bocchan to have him for herself. Typical yandere stuff.

Her casually getting so close to him is something more than a deathwish and might be actually because she is immune to his curse. And now, we have seen that White Nun, who most likely is some sort of a nun had black fingernails. Just like Alice.

That is completely normal and happens all the time in full 3D CGI anime.
Making and rendering detailed model requires much more effort, than drawing few frames.
If character appears for one scene and in forefront, it's simply more efficient to make it 2D.
We have seen it in Ex-Arm, when they botched it so hard, that it was exceptionally distinct. If character was 3D, like that Android Maid, we knew she would be moving a lot.

Another sweet episode that I felt was over on like 5 minutes, I'm glad on this show they both like each other and are sincere about it, I like a lot the music this episode.

Now I do wonder about Alice's mother, maybe she is the witch that cursed him and if that is the case how much Alice's feelings are because of guilt.

I'm seriously loving every scene with Bocchan and Alice, their relationship is so sweet, yet so sad, being able to be so close but not really touch. This series makes me smile a lot with their interactions but keeps hurting my heart at the same time.

Bocchan with the plague doctor suit, that's epic

and ofc bocchan got the wrong idea in Alice's room, it looked like it.

and the boat scene had me on my edge of my seat, alice is a genius about being a trickster

In the first half of the episode I really enjoyed the town trip. The piano performance was very good as well. Alice was still misbehaving as usual. I'm kinda curious about Alice's mother though when Alice was asked about her by a stranger.

In the 2nd half, I was kinda looking forward to what Bocchan would say to Alice. But still, Alice replaced that romantic moment with another one (Near miss kiss, and the lake swim).Glad that Bocchan didn't try to catch or help Alice though because there's no telling when Alice might die.

Conclusion: I enjoyed this episode as well. Looking forward to next week too.

The two of them are so cute together. It really makes me wish they can touch each other but I guess that might defeat one of the points of the series. The lewd jokes are pretty funny and I'm loving their interactions more than ever

I get it, if Bocchan wears gloves, the wouldn't that provide a barrier for Alice to be able to hold hands him without touching his raw skin that contains the curse????

Also Bocchan wears clothes , that alone would have provided a barrier for anyone to be able to touch him without contact with his raw skin, beside the curse in on his skin not on the clothing he wears????

Aaah, festival! Just looking at it makes me happy ~ Everyone was dancing to Bocchan's piano. I'm sure Bocchan must be very happy to meet many people and be in such a pleasant atmosphere. Good job, Alice.

Uwaaa XD Alice's way of teasing Bocchan was really bolder than before. That's really interesting to see, hahah.

The story of the Princess and the Moon was also good. When Bocchan said that the story was the opposite of their condition.. it was sad. I hope Bocchan can get out of his curse soon. And it turns out that Alice still has the rose that Bocchan gave her! So sweet.

They are absolutely adorable and fun to watch <3
