| wow, i'm impressed especially by the end. i love the way how Cosette's portrait smiles, and the sentences last sentences which means probably that Cosette started to trust Kurasaki were great. pain through which he passed is admirable. despite the fact he had collapse moment I understand , in fact he's a human. anime perfectly showed his emotions; envy, fear and also his love to Cosette. he left the pain because he wanted to relieve her. contrast between bright and beautiful figure of a small Cosette and her character who hides dark secrets and sorry for the man who had failed her creates a brilliant picture of the whole. and the music... <3 |
| Cosette's smiling portrait was the bast part of this episode , also nice to know that her lover was portraitofille ( he killed her to maek her remain like in the portraits , didn't he?) . Ending = still win <3 |
| Now this part I definitely liked more! More things where explained and even the pain and violence is somewhat explained. The music makes this even more awesome. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa  |
| The part when he found out that he really is Marcello... I thought his heart was gonna break. But the thought of someone loving you so much that he would sacrifice his own life for you... I love this OVA. <3 |
| Come out, come out, wherever you are... |
| Why would Marcelo stab Cossette to death? Wouldn't poisoning her be more romantic and preserve her youthful beauty? |
| Started getting good towards the end |
 |
| The first time I watched this episode, I was completely lost. Even after 3 times, I'm not sure if I completely get it yet. I understand the clock now (the objects from the first episode are broken and their souls at rest)... now the same with the clock. The difficult part is... well... all the rest. In my mind, I'll just consider it all symbolism for love and sacrifice... because that's the best way I think I can understand this. |
  |
| Just like the first episode, started off a little slow, but towards the end shit just went down! Though I'd be lying if I said I understood everything that happened. =s |
 |
| The MC has Marcelo's soul but he is also his own person. All the objects that were there when the girl died all have a grudge and hatred towards Marcelo, and the girl wants to free or save the spirits by letting them hurt the MC who has Marcelo's soul. I like how trippy the anime is XD |

I love how artistic this OVA is,but I hope that I can make sense out of all this after the finale.Maybe it's one of these shows you just have to rewatch? Hakuromatsu said: Why would Marcelo stab Cossette to death? Wouldn't poisoning her be more romantic and preserve her youthful beauty? I thought the exact same thing mhm maybe it wasn't about keeping her beautiful/young but rather about not letting her age so he didn't care what way she would die.This way his portraits of her would show the truth and not only a relict of the past once she grows older.Maybe this is important for him?Or he is just bat shit crazy and has a little complex... ;D Also getting stabbed is more fitting for the presentation imo,you see how scared and shocked Cossette was,so it has a bigger impact and her reaction brands itself onto the viewers mind and also leaves Cossette with a trauma thats important for the story(how she interacts with "the new" Marcelo) ..or we are overthinking something ;p |

 |
| It starts to make more sense now and damn that pedo artist -_- for the sake of a portrait.. Still if I were mc.. I wouldnt endure the suffering just for a girl but thats just me.. |
 |
| Don't trust every girl you see in a glass who invites you inside. Other than that..... I liked this episode better than the first one. Now one to go.... |
 |
| Rewatch 4. I still find this episode difficult to really understand. I think it's mostly about Eiri's deepening obsession. He fought back for a second, but then decided not to and instead take the full brunt of the curse... all for Cossette. As for Cossette, her innocence is well portrayed... a little girl with romantic dreams... only to have that absolutely crushed by the one she loved. Of course she didn't want to be drawn, because she once loved it. I don't only have praises for this episode. The reuse of scenes from the first episode was quite annoying/obvious to the point of detriment to the episode. Repeating things can have a psychological effect, but I don't think it really worked as well here as it could have (EVA does it better). |
|
| Find it kind of harsh that Eiri is being forced to suffer because of Marcelo killing Cossette and baffling that he's willing to endure such pain for sins he ultimately didn't commit. Sure, he apparently has Marcelo's soul or whatever, but he's still his own person and surely has the right to fight back and try to preserve his life rather than letting all the objects take out their rage on him and almost kill him. It's an interesting concept, to be sure, but it all feels so arbitrary and unfair that it's hard to get behind it. |
| Lots of yelling in various Akira-esque finale scenes, I wasn't too big on this. The first half and final bit were good, though. The latter half just went way overboard, and, again, could have been shortened quite a bit. I really wish this series was more standard TV-length episodes. Also, gotta mention that Cossette naked was just kind of weird and creepy and the dominance/submission/lolita angle makes me uncomfortable too. |
| Unlike the previous episode, this one was quite boring for the most part. The last minutes were a bit more interesting tho. One more episode to go. |
| this episode was more boring compared to the first episode and how it could actually captivate you. nice for the most part, but i could probably fall asleep in the 25 minutes of this episode. |
| Artsy, though the plot is pretty simple. I don't think I got anything *substantially* new here - I mean, it was obvious that Marchello was Cossette's fiance from episode 1. Still liked it though, I just like Shinbo's style and this whole Gothic Lolita thing fused with it. The imaginary world is really trippy. ED is really great. |
| Marcelo killed Cossette because he was dismayed at the prospect of her growing up and losing her perfect loli body. As much as I can empathise with those thoughts, stabbing her to death is a hell of a solution. Is Eiri really Marcelo though? I initially thought Eiri just took up the "curse" of Marcelo's soul after being imbued with it through drinking the blood, but apparently he's Marcelo's reincarnation outright. |
