Ok, after rereading ep 1 and 2(which were very good) it's actually disappointing to see that i didn't like this one as much as i did when i once readed. Though, i at least could appreciate more the Eva Beatrice and Battler fight. My problems are with some specific twilights and the beginning of the cap. The beginning with Eva's backstory is actually fine, but on a reread it is not much interesting to watch, then we go into Kuwadorian story, which i thought would be good, was unfortunantely not as good as i thought it would be, even knowing the truth beforehand. The way it is "explained" through Beatrice's fantasy pov is really confusing and not as clearly metaphorical as i thought it would be, sure, it still can be interpreted that way, but i didn't like the way it was portraited.

Then let's talk about the best first part of this ep, the first twilight. Those are the fantasy scenes that i love, where there is a truth behind, and not purely fantasy, and this one rules, because it not only shows the truth about "Virgilia" but also shows who teached Sayo "Magic", through the "Predecessor" metaphor. And i like how Virgilia was "dead since the beginning", making it appear like all of that incredible battle was really nothing, because she was already dead. Also, "Fake Red Shoes" is the best ost on this cap, and it to be on this scene is really great. Then after the fight there is also another good scene, where Virgilia tells battler about the gameboard using the "braun tube" example, which is a really good tip to understand those fantasy scenes, and how we can't take everything at face value. Then came the second twlight which i also liked a lot, and i do think i could see Eva's emotions through that scene, and the way she repeatedly said things about their moments together with Rosa in the past and of how both wished to become witches and fly on the sky and then she makes her fly just to die after, or how she also realised the ocean of jelly dream that Rosa spoked of when younger, and then killed her drowned into it, or how they played throwing butterflies into spider's web and Eva killed her in that way. That showed me 2 interpretations, the bad one, where this scene means that Eva want to crush Rosa in the deepest way possible, crushing her with her own dreams, or the good one, which is, the fact that while killing her she remembered of good moments they had together, showing a slightly remorse against this action.

Then we went into the forth, fifith and sixth twlight, which i HATED. I mean, if the truth is that Kyrie suspected Hideyoshi and told Rudolf it, and then they prepared the "wanting food" thing just to go into the mansion and demand answers from Hideyoshi, then Kyrie is REALLY DUMB, how they got themselves shot against Hideyoshi alone? Okay, Eva could also be there(jumping into the wall, and coming back later from the window asking Najo's help to save Hideyoshi) and they basically tried to kill each other(and then after missing a fatal shot on Kyrie, she killed Hideyoshi), but my point is, it is so risky and dumb of Kyrie's part to go there anyway, she could've just tell everyone the suspicious she had, tough either choice woud lead into nothing, but alright. The problem on this scene is not even only it's premisse, but it would be so much text to explain why i hated the magical scene too.

Then there was the seventh and eighth twilights, which were just fine. The problem was on the ninth twlight. Because of Beatrice's ressurection scene with George. I mean, if the Chiester Sisters were the only ones to kill George with only Beatrice there, this scene would be fine, because even though it was a "love scene" love can be deceiving and that's not the first scene where it happens, and even in the end of this cap it is shown that Beatrice was only preteding to be good(which changed the meaning of some good scenes, even though she actually let Jessica "live" until the explosion). BUT, showing Eva Beatrice as the one who ordered the shot is really not good. Because she would never shot him. And in this case without love we would not see it. But, i mean, overall i accept this scene, but didn't like that much.

Then we enter into the last twilight which would be fine if it hadn't the same problem as the last one. Kanon's ghost with Jessica was good, but the problem is on Nanjo's death. Again, why put Eva Beatrice talking and clearly killing him on the magical scene, if in the end it was Beatrice's doing? Also, Beatrice's and Eva Beatrice fight was purely bullshit, no?(i mean inside the truth of the gamboard, i do understand the fantasy meaning of what means to be a real witch) Another thing i was thinking is about the fact that Eva didn't talk about the gold with anyone despite Rosa, and still managed to leave there using the Kuwadorian escape route. Which is non sense, but, there was in fact some parts to support that she met with Beatrice on the land of gold and i like this part more because of some moments of Eva Beatrice still putting the stakes on the dead bodys out of respect for the previous sucessor Beatrice. Which with love i think she would do(Because Eva really respects this Ushiromiya position, since it was her dream and after seeing Kinzo's ring, she would know for sure 'Beatrice' wasn't lying), even though she didn't like doing it that much, and hated Beatrice, she still respected what she means.

Well, overall it was good enough, but i really had some big upsets, especially because i loved the magical scenes from ep 2, and the misdirections/fantasy scenes(If we can count KInzo) from ep 1. But, that's all.
