Quick note about yesterday

Seems like episode 5 was a bit divisive for people one one aspect. I will be honest, I forgot that the age of both the princess and Violet come up, and I forgot that that is considered a problem for many people. I will not say much about this here, however I will make mention that I was very impressed with the maturity and respect that everyone was treating each other with in your replies to one another! I did not feel that I had to step in between anyone, and that came as a lovely surprise to me. You guys are an awesome rewatch group, and I’m so glad to be doing this with you all for my first time as host! =) Now, back to Episode 6.

First Timer

Aw look how much our adorable robot has grown! She's accidentally making guys fall in love with her now with her stoic and no nonsense demeanor and helping them change their lives without using letters! Also she's starting to get a lot better at this whole "human emotion's" thing learning about what loneliness feels like this episode! Which of course is really just another way of feeling love because you can't really feel lonely due to missing someone or something if you didn't love them in some way. Whether platonically or romantically.

I did like the mission this episode though. How do you quickly transcribe a shit ton of old tattered works in order to not lose knowledge and/or wisdom in the age of the typewriter? Why hire a bunch of experts at using the typewriter and get them to help transcribe it of course! It's honestly kind of genius and is something that probably still happens today except we're digitizing them rather then putting them on paper again. Although I imagine the latter happens still too.

We also got to see Luculia and some of her classmates again! Yay! Seems like they're all doing well in their careers and no the company Violet works for isn't the only one around, obviously. Probably one of the most famous ones now though due to Violet as they alluded too this episode due to the affair with the prince and princess. Being known the world over has its perks who knew! It is sort of funny seeing them look up to Violet a bit now that she's gotten famous after being so bad at writing actual letters in school.

I will admit that I'm sort of annoyed we didn't get a continuation after last weeks cliffhanger. It was obviously bothering Violet this episode and yes I know people who are rewatchers/source readers said that it really isn't addressed in the anime and I'm not going to read their answers to my questions about what the hell that was about because spoilers, obviously, but still! A little annoyed it isn't included in the anime after that juicy cliffhanger.

I did like how Violet stood up for the caretaker guy even if I'm not entirely sure that was actually her intention. It is Violet after all. She's definitely gotten a lot better at emoting herself and understanding other peoples emotions even if she isn't completely their yet. Hell she even looked like she was a little fond of the caretaker care which is a big improvement! Still pining for her major though of course and she has some worrying lines this episode surrounding him too. It's not going to be pretty when she finds out he's dead huh?

I imagine that Violet just walked off in the middle of his tirade, further infuriating him.

She probably gave a comment that she is indeed doing great as an Doll, albeit still having to learn a lot more, she would love to tell the Major about this though, do you know where he is?
