[ Episode 8: Door to the Past ]

This was a great start to an arc I’ve been awaiting for so long. Though the beginning focused a bit on Shana, Yuji, and Wilhelmina, the remaining two-thirds chronicles Margery’s past. She discusses her past because Keisaku asked her to train him. I’m quite sure that Yuri, the young Flame Haze in her past, will not survive which is one of the main reasons she is telling this story. Kind of like a reality check of sorts for Keisaku. Though I have my doubts that he’ll just give up after hearing this story. One of the after-thoughts I had at the end of this episode was Margery’s real age. I really doesn’t matter, just like she said, but it is a point of curiosity. Lastly, I can’t wait to hear more about Pheles, the name Wilhelmina discovered during her research. I’ve been waiting on her to appear for so long.

A picture is worth a thousand words and the one you selected spoke volumes.

You gotta love Margery’s enthusiasm. I don’t think Shana’s ever had that get up and take them down attitude Margery showed here. It’s always “Shana!” “Yuji!” “Shana! Yoshida!” on Shana’s side. Sure, Shana’s not hesitant to take people out, but there’s always something in the way keeping a real battle from taking place. Or a plotdevice popping up and stealing everyone’s attention.

Was it just coincidence or were you really trying to make Margery look like she was from New York in that middle-bottom screenshot?
