Yeah a Nureha episode would have been better than the valentine's one. It had a couple of moments I liked and others that I didn't. The whole competition between Akatsuki and Minori is annoying. It's kind of obvious he's not interested in Minori in that way... with other girls it's debatable. He doesn't seem interested in a romantic relationship but at least in the LN he does spend a lot of time describing how beautiful the girls are (so far in what I've read Akatsuki's beauty is often mentioned). I haven't gotten to the Nureha/Shiroe part but since they're sort of set up as rivals I don't really see them together.

Yeah, 2 Kanami & friends episodes might have worked better. It kind of annoyed me that they were just thrown into the middle of the season and that's it (until the last few minutes of the season). Since she had so much air time in the pre-starting part of Season 2, ep. 1, you'd think she got a bigger role in the season. I don't know if it would have been better to spred her story out and have little snippets of what's going on with her as the series progressed instead of pretty much 1 year in 1 episode.

True. I think I did read somewhere that it wasn't popular enough for other networks to be interested in it. At least it got aired somewhere despite the kid-friendly edits.

Yeah, Rudy's perspective is definitely unique. I like him & Isuzu. I tend to think of them as really the only official canon couple (other than Demi-Demi and his wife). The dog thing bothers me too but I guess it's just their thing...I don't know. I hope the dog part sort of vanishes as they get closer and stuff.

With ReGan, it's not clear if he knows about that stuff or not. I thought he looked really creepy and suspicous when he first appeared in the anime. In the Gold of the Kuni part he was fine, in the last episode... I'm still unsure on whether he might have done something to the equipment he insisted he didn't break. They also like calling him old man and skeleton and stuff despite the fact Shiroe says he's not much older than them. I can't remember if he said in the LN that he thought ReGan was around 30 or in his 30's...but really not an "old man". [Looks it up] The first instance of his age was: " From his appearance, he seemed about Shiroe's age." ... "Yes, I have lived in the Ancient Palace of Eternal Ice for over 30 years, this was originally the laboratory of my master. But after he passed on a few years ago, I inherited his work and continued to research day and night, do forgive my poor dress sense."... " ReGan was not an annoying man, Shiroe thought of him as an admirable researcher, knowledgeable and witty, but as for trust... he might not be trustworthy, but Shiroe didn't think he was lying." Those were from vol. 3 but not the line I was looking for. I just checked vol. Nao calls ReGan an old man and Shiroe say "He's not an old man yet. I think he's around 30 years old?"

I honestly don't know much about Eins. I only know about the Agent One stuff from what I've read (probably on animesuki). I don't remember that ever being mentioned in the anime. They just mentioned that there was a traitor or a spy or something and I think Shiroe said he knew who it was. He seemed to call Eins out (that's the way I saw it) when in ep. 24 but I guess we'll see what happens since it wasn't clear. Maybe he was just saying it because Eins didn't seem to agree with most of the Round Table's decisions. I think a lot of those in leadership positions are probably having a hard time by that point. They'll have people are happy with the way things are, people who want to go home, people who want others stuff... though I don't see how their plan of taking from those who go out and fight and giving it to those who sit around depressed would fix anything. It's not a good plan but they need to do something, or at least reassure people that they're working on something.

If Eins isn't the traitor then I wonder who is... though Minami seems to get info easily. Somehow K.R. knows of Shiroe's coming and going so he must have someone feeding him info. I wouldn't be surprised if Tet told Kazu some stuff, though I don't think she'd actually spy, she'd probably just gossip.

One thing that surprises me is that Marie hasn't been bugging people for another festival. There hasn't really been anything since Christmas/New Year's. I'd think she'd suggest it to try and cheer people up or something (and because she seems to love festivals). Oh, which leads me to say...poor Tet, she missed all of Akiba's festivals! For some reason I think she would have loved to be in that fashion show! I'm not sure about if she would have wanted to go to the beach... I have no clue what she'd wear on the beach if she had been there then other than the bottoms would probably be shorts (and probably some sort of loose cover-up).
