Near the end now... I'm kinda curious if they're going to show Katsuya/Kyoko's relationship backstory. So far they've followed the manga pretty much exactly, but that one is so incredibly questionable I wonder if they'll chicken out.

But yeah, latest episode reached the bit where Nxvgb fgnof Xherab. I'm just picturing Shigure like "lololol, about time someone did that!" I feel like he'd privately be a bit proud. I mean, if nothing else, that's not someone who does things by halves. This time around, watching, I wondered if partly Akito was motivated by guilt, and it was sort of a crazed attempt to wipe everything away, kind of saying 'sorry' in the only way Akito knows how. I find Akito SO entertaining on this watch, it's unreal.

Also hahaha my friend just noticed *that* maid, and was like "I feel like she's the biggest villain in this?", which I confirmed. :P Though actually, I think they've made her a bit more sympathetic in the show than in the manga. The bit where she talks about how she was trying to comfort Akito with the box came off as genuine. It makes me wonder how much stuff I read as her just being a dick for the sake of it should have been read as being motivated by her caring for Akito (and just being a massive enabler in the process).

I wish they'd translated "unnecessary" as "worthless" or something; again the translation feels a bit stiff. Thouuuugh I did see in the next episode preview that the "I'm disillusioned" line is now "I'm disappointed in you", which I think is a more sensible translation.

Also Kureno is the *definition* of someone who is so good at being nice, he fails at being kind. When I read the manga, I found him a bit of a nothing character, but he works better in the anime. Seems more vulnerable (same for Rin, too). Maybe I just didn't really understand his position properly when I first read it, and it was easier to follow a second time.

Yesss, hit the scene and "I'm disappointed in you" is a MUCH better translation. I think that's the only one I've preferred so far to the Tokyopop translation. But yeah, that line in the Tokyopop translation was a bit of mess, imo; it's such a dramatic moment and that just made it stiff and weird and confusing. When do you ever say "I'm disillusioned" to put someone down? Glad they fixed it.
