So This is the last episode =D It’s been a long ways since we started reviewing it but we finish today. It was probably my favorite series to watch of Fall 2008 Anime season and I will miss it. I’m praying for a second season cause they kind of left off in a cliff hanger way *A way where the story continues,even after it finishes*. If not I’ll have to translate all the novels, and I’m only on Novel 1.

(Note: This isn’t the final review of the series, I’ll be doing a post on all the fall series, excluding Skip Beat, about what I gave them overall through the whole season. I’ll give my thoughts and ect.)

Summary

The episode opens up with Lydia’s father working in his study, he’s starts looking for a book in a pile of books on his desk and they all fall off his desk. He ends up picking up the books but brownies starting pulling at his hair and tugging at his sleeve. Professor Carlton says he’ll make tea and cookies for the brownies. He comes back with cookies, and the brownies dig in. He’s sad that he can’t see the brownies but is happy they’re Lydia’s friend. He goes back to work, and looks at a picture of him,his wife, and Lydia as a baby. He looks at his picture and says that Lydia will become a great Fairy Doctor because she is your daughter *he’s directing this at his decease wife*.

Raven and Nico are in Ulysses’s mansion are walking around. Nico is trying to find Lydia and Raven asks if his sister has been turned into a fairy, or if she’s dead. Nico says yes, she’s a selkie. Raven then asks if she is being controlled by the Prince. Nico says whoever steals a Selkie’s pelt can control them, so Ulysses’s must of stole her pelt.

Ermine is worried about Edgar’s wound, and Edgar says it nothing. Lydia is in a daze at seeing Ermine but returns to normal and says that they need to go to the human world where there is sunlight so they can heal Edgar’s wound.  Ermine says yes and leads them to the exit. On the way Edgar gives Lydia his  gun and says that he wants her to live on if he’s not around. Lydia hides the gun, and the three of them come across the room the banshee and Paul were in.  They go inside and Lydia finds Paul unconscious. She goes and wakes him up, she is happy that he’s alive so is Edgar. Paul is a bit surprise that Ermine’s here but calms down and tells them that the Banshee and the amber picture is with Ulysses. Edgar decides to not go back to the human world and go get the painting back. Lydia says no,not a good idea, they need to go back and get his wound heal. Edgar turns to Lydia and pushes her back and then walks out the door with Ermine. On the way out he locks the door from the outside,making it that Lydia and Paul are locked in. Lydia screams for him to open the door but he walks away with Ermine. Lydia starts crying, wondering why Edgar leaves her alone always.

Ermine asks Edgar what he’ s going to do next and Edgar states that even tho Ermine looks at him that way she is not Ermine. Ermine is dead. Ermine is hurt by this. Ulysses’s, Jimmy, and the banshee shows up. Ulysses makes it clear that the wager is off, and  Edgar tells the banshee that Paul is has escaped. The banshee is happy, she starts walking towards Edgar but Ulysses pushes her to the ground. Edgar states that Ulysses doesn’t know how to treat women right, and Ulysses say he’ll prove to Edgar why he is the right successor to the Blue Knight Earl Family  and Edgar says Ulysses has no right to call himself that. Ulysses doesn’t know the meaning about being noble, and Edgar says Ulysses will loose. Ulysses say he’ll show Edgar where he stands.

Lydia and Paul are trying to figure a way out, the windows won’t bust and they seem stuck. But Lydia hears a voice, it’s Nico. That’s right Nico and Raven have found them and saved them.

Ulysses is now ready to break the seal and burn the painting. He takes the painting, which the banshee has and makes it start on fire with his thumbs. Edgar looks angrily at the burning painting. The banshee remembers everything and faints. Edgar rushes towards her but is held back by Jimmy.  Edgar yells at Jimmy and is stopped when he hears his name called.  Edgar looks up to find that Ermine has taken the banshee hostage, and has a knife to the banshee neck. Ermine says if the banshee dies then everything will be alright, and since Ermine is a selkie and has fae she can kill the banshee. Ulysses is mad and reminds Ermine that he can burn/break her pelts. Ermine says she doesn’t and never cared for her life and the only reason she joined the Prince was so she could protect Edgar. Ulysses whispers into his hand and monsters appear around them. Edgar tells Ermine to let the banshee go because he doesn’t want to sacrifice anyone from the Earl’s family. After a few minutes the banshee is set free. Ulysses laughs and asks if this is what they call: a noblemen pride. He then says he never cared before if he sacrifice his friends. Edgar says time have change. Ulysses makes all the monsters attack Edgar but they are all killed by Raven, who has just showed up.

Lydia, Paul and  Nico are on the floor watching from above. Paul asks if the Banshee memories have returned and Nico says probably because theirs burnt canvas on the grounds. Paul mourns for the beautiful painting that has been destroyed. Lydia looks up at the two moons in wonder.

Ermine tells Raven to take Edgar and run because his wound isn’t healed yet. Raven looks at Edgar’s wound and he snaps, he runs at Ulysses at full speed and in the next second Ulysses is being faced with a dagger pointed at his eye and the dagger is only one inch away from the eye. Ulysses is in fear but Jimmy pushes Raven away and tells Raven that he is his challenger. Raven and Jimmy the spectra hound start fighting and one time Raven gets distracted when Jimmy turns from spectra hound into human. Raven is distracted by this and Jimmy takes full advantage and knocks Raven to the ground.  Raven is then pounced on by a spectra hound. Ulysses then tells the monsters to take care of the traitor. Suddenly when everything seems at a lost, the ground opens up and out comes water and behind the water is Kelpie.

Kelpie asks where Ermine’s powers have gone and Ulysses orders the rest of the monsters to attack Kelpie. Kelpie  turns into a horse. Raven is holding back Jimmy with his dagger, but the spectra hound is hit with something flying through the air and falls back. Raven then cuts the spectra hound in haft. Raven looks at what was thrown at the spectra hound and it is a mask, Nico’s mask. Raven looks up and sees Lydia and Nico. Nico is proud.

The banshee gets up and Ulysses orders the banshee to give him Glady’s power. The banshee goes over and bows at him and asks for Ulysses to spare her life.  Ulysses scoff at the bargain and tells her that he’s her master and the banshee yells that she doesn’t consider  Ulysses her master. Ulysses,angry, orders the spectra hounds to attack Edgar and the rest. Ermine and Raven go in front of Edgar and Lydia comes running down the stairs to where everyone is  telling them to stop because she finally understands. Edgar screams at her to stay back and starts running at her, little does he notices that behind him a Spectra Hound is behind him and is about to pounce on him. Lydia warns him, he turns around and  the banshee jumps in front of him and takes the hurt. The spectra hound bites the banshee’s shoulder.

Everyone’s shocked and Edgar is feeling bad because he let his people down again. Lydia tells him to be strong and not to give up. She then takes out the gun and points it in the air. She yells at the Spectra hounds to return to the den. Ulysses asks what she is doing. She tells him she is going to bring in light that will burn their eyes. Ulysses makes fun of her for this but she tells him that this place is surrounded with magic and the two moons the one on the left hasn’t moved since she arrived.  If she destroys that moon this place will be filled with light. Ulysses says he’s happy she notices and asks if she can hit it. If not the spectra hounds will rip out her throat. Edgar says it will be ok and Lydia prays that she hits it and she shoots and bulls-eye she gets it. The glass breaks and falls to the ground. A dagger is falling from the sky and the whole places is now surrounded with light which makes all the spectra hounds disappear.

Jimmy yells at Ulysses to come this way, his *Jimmy’s* face is bleeding and Ulysses goes over to him. Ulysses tells Edgar that the prince will arrive in England soon and both him and Jimmy disappear in a dark portal. Kelpie and Ermine disappear too. Lydia hugs Edgar because his wound is gone and they saved the day.  Edgar tells Lydia that the banshee’s prophecy still exists. Paul comes forward carrying the banshee. Paul takes the banshee to Edgar and sets her down. She says thanks. Edgar asks why she has not been healed yet and she says she is a fairy and fae magic doesn’t work. Edgar then asks why she didn’t give the powers to Ulysses. She tells him she remembers everything and that is she is supposed to be accpted into the Blue Knight Earls family and that is the prophecy in which her death takes place.  She tells Edgar she is thankful for taking care of Glady’s will/wish.

The banshee then hands over the key of Ibrazel, and tells him to take care of everyone and finish the Prince off. She hands over a magic in which Edgar can’t see. Then the banshee notices the wedding ring on Lydia’s finger and says  your the consort? Lydia doesn’t know how to respond. The banshee then thanks Paul and prays that everyone will be watched over and she disappears *or dies,not sure*. Edgar comments on how he can’t see the key. Lydia can’t see it either. He says he can’t see fairies and doesn’t know how to use the key but he will defeat the Prince.

Back at the Edgar mansion, the butler is waiting for everyone to return. He tells the maid to make a meal for everyone. A warm soup and a filling meal, but warns her that one of them doesn’t like Liver *Kelpie* and to have small cutlery for the young gentlemen *Nico*.

Kelpie is on his turf and Ermine shows up. He asks what she is doing here and she asks if she’s not allow to come and thank him. He tells her he was only protecting Lydia and she says she was only protecting Edgar. Kelpie then states that he only wants to see Lydia smile.

Meanwhile on the way back: Paul,Lydia,Edgar,Nico,and Raven are all in a carriage. Edgar says: Bridgette. He says that’s a name of a dog he once had. Lydia says to give it up. He asks for a intial and she asks if he’s been thinking about it all this time with a serious look on his face. He says it is serious, and takes her hand. He says that from the beginning he only wanted to kill the Prince and didn’t care if he died but now he wants to live for Lydia. He then says if he dies some other man will take Lydia and he has the special privilege of saying sweet things in her ears. She tells him that’s not a special privilege.

Raven asks if Edgar want him to say all the names in Alphabetical order and Edgar tells him to forget that and be quite. Coblynau has appeared and says thats right and bow is in a good mood. Edgar takes both of Lydia’s hands in his. He tells her that he’s not going to use his name to any advantage and he has a responsibility to protect everyone and asks for Lydia’s help.

Lydia asks if she’ll be any use, and he tells it might be dangerous but he wants her to grant his wish. He wants her to be together with him forever. She recites that and starts to think about it.  She then snaps out of her daze states and asks what he’s trying to do. He says because she so kind she will not leaves a man with many flaws in the dark. Lydia then states that she won’t marry him.

He then asks Lydia if she will stick to her promise about kissing him when they return. Lydia is thinking that she must stand firm and strong, but then Edgar says that he’ll do this but the real kiss they’ll do when Lydia’s ready. He then leans forward and touches all of Lydia’s lip with his hand and then kisses her forehead and Lydia closes her eyes as this episode and the episode ends.

Picture Love <3

Thoughts

Woah, my favorite anime of the season has come to a end. It was a good show but the ending ended good but they also left us a cliffhanger so I’m praying for a second season if now I’ll be stuck translating all the books to find out what happened and I’m only on book 1,lol.  I won’t spoil the episode for you for those who haven’t seen, but I want to state some obvious points or questions. 1) How are Ermine and Raven Related? I know by blood but they seriously don’t look like one another. I mean one has really dark skin and the other one doesn’t *no offense*. It’s just they look so different, or is it because Ermine’s dead.   2)  We never found out how Ermine died, or what really happened? Theirs no real explanation for this answer it’s pretty self explanatory. 3) Lydia’s past, we see a boy but we never figure out who he is? This is one that really became noticeable. They never finished the plot with Lydia and her past and the boys. Or maybe I  missed something. Who was that boy, maybe it was related to the Prince or something. If so maybe it will be explained in the second season *If there is one* or in later books. Well just wanted you to ponder. Remember my overall review for shows for the season (Vampire Knights, Yozakura Quartet, and Earl And Fairy) will be out soon so please don’t consider this my final rating or thoughts of this show.
