| Shizuka recalls being wished by her grandfather that she would find her "prince" someday. Akane observes that now that Ojo's arranged marriage has been derailed, she and Ryo seem to be just friends again. The MIBs present Ryo and Shizuka with a CD containing a recorded message from her father. Ryo and Akane are surprised to learn that he never approved of her government arranged marriage, and expects her to return home in a week--in part because grandpa is seriously ill... | |

| Somehow, a surprisingly clever and effective episode which brings things to a believable crisis. There are, after all, only three more episodes to go. Have I mentioned that I like the ED song? Especially the way it begins with two sharp notes--Bam, Bam!--that grab your attention without being annoying. Another nice touch was the way fansubber "Froth Bite" color codes the subtitles (matching them to the colors of the girl's hair), to make it easier to keep track of who is talking. This has nothing to do with this show, but I hate it when subtitles are put into cursive. Keep 'em simple, people--I'm not a speed reader (and every time I pause, there's the risk that the DVD player will jam up temporarily). (Forbin) Damn you use a DVD player? Everytime I try I get the DVD overscan and the subs fall off. | |
