I personally think
that this turned out as a pretty decent episode of Arcana Famiglia. By that, I mean that I don't really have
complains on this one…
I'm still betting
that all of those things that happened in the earlier episodes weren't entirely
for nothing. Sure people went on complaining about how Arcana Famiglia was such a disappointment (and yeah, I was one of
those people). Although this episode hasn’t entirely wrap all of our thoughts
up, we've seen some pretty good development on the story itself - as much as I
would like to think.
First off, let me go
through with Jolly. As I had said on my
last post, I didn't really want to look at Jolly as the bad guy of this
series. This episode had practically told us that he isn't. Jolly's talent as
an alchemist isn't really some funny game of his. Personally, what he's doing -
placing contracts on Pace, Luca, Debito and even Elmo - is something pretty
extreme. Although I have no idea what his real intentions are yet since he
really does look like someone who's always hiding something, I'm currently
looking at him positively. What he did to Pace, Luca and Debito probably just
need some good talk. BUT the idea that out of the many kids that Jolly probably
experimented on and only the three of them probably being kept alive and okay,
I guess they wouldn't let him off the hook easily.
Now for those people
complaining about the lack of talk on the Duello, I'd like to gladly say that I
am soo right. LOL. I knew that they will bring this up again once we're on the
last 4 or 3 episodes :3 Anyway, that's not the point. I'm pretty glad that the
Duello had a pretty good reason behind it and with what we've seen in this
episode, I'm really hoping that it won't be stop. I'm going to make Felicità
stop whatever she's planning because I don't want some
drama-because-of-selfishness in here. The idea that she wasn't informed what
will happen to her if she continues doesn't really matter, she'll probably try
to use her Wheel of Fortune Arcana and don't care what happens to her because
that's what I see from her character.
Despite saying that
I find this episode pretty decent, there has got to be one thing that caught my
attention (or probably I'm just here hating Felicità). Actually I find the idea
that she easily grasped her power easily pretty weird and off. I mean first
Sumire was like: you're not emotionally strong enough to control your Lovers
Arcana (or something along those lines) and next thing we know she's reading
Nova's and Libertà's thoughts without a problem. LOL.
ANYWAY, looking at Arcana Famiglia as of this episode, I'm not
betting for this one to get anywhere near my top list as what we've seen
through out half of its run. I'm personally not counting on the ending most
especially from what I've seen in this episode… Of course I'm not entirely saying
that I hate this 'cause if I do, I would have placed this on-hold a long time
ago. At the very least, it's better than Hiiro no Kakera.
