Otome struggles with what to do regarding Yoshiyuki’s fate and the magical sakura tree.

Impressions:

This episode was pretty good. It’s continuing with the really great quality that the previous episodes have had regarding the seriousness of everything. I still am surprised and amazed at this show for having that level of drama and so far it hasn’t’ died down, and I don’t expect it to for the rest of the series. There isn’t much more to say, this episode was great just like many of the previous ones. It didn’t actually advance things along too much, but it wasn’t boring either. They handled the focus on Yoshiyuki learning the truth rather well. I thought it was a great scene when he was there talking to Sakura and thought it was very sweet and heart harming the way he called her mom and comforted her.

It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of Yume seeing all this going on. Until now her part in the entire series has been rather minimal mainly because of her not being included in the magic part of it. Since this season has a HUGE emphasis on the magic aspect, that means she is kind of out of luck. However now that will hopefully change now that they’ve shown she was there at the tree. In fact, that may be partially related to her vision she had before. It still seems like she has a bigger part to play and this will likely help jump to that point.
