Their charms are actually what prevented this series from being mediocre, in my opinion. Well do you think Will is well developed? Just tell me you like Allison for her fresh little airheaded and impulsive nature and i belive you. I like her too, but that is not enough. I expected much from the first arc, but in a flash it was over. That arc started with Allison portrayed like a happy little girl in search of fun. Will seemed more mature but introversive guy in search of awakening. The first adventure started as a game, and pushed the nice duo in enemy territory n search of an important treasure. You'd expect the two make experience of the war and grow up. You'd expect they work out thoughts and opininions about the war, have experiences, meet people. Nothig happens. Suddenly the treasure is found with no effort. The old man is just discarted as useless as soon as he passes by the information about the treasure and good bye. Pity he was the best character in the story, the one that bears an old and important truth abiut the world. But he was only an appearence and was cut off. oook. Thare's benedict too. He was an enemy. As soon he meets Allison and Will what does he do? Make friends at one ._." ooook 2 ^^ What about the second arc? It's ludicrous... >I wouldn’t say that the characters aren’t developed.

I do agree that the storytelling really needs to improve, because this series could have been much better if executed well. I wouldn’t say that the characters aren’t developed.

It had a good story to begin with, good characters and all. But as it proceed it disappoints me more and more. Plot device to the limit of ludicrous save the situation, the chars aren't well fleshed out and show no development at all. The worst is Will that looks like he has got any of his own will, being one puppy ordered around by Allison... The direction is flat and boring. The graphics is average good and the music is average too. Nothing in this anime stands out. It's pure boredom :( I wonder why i am still watching to it I bet this serie was going to be the best of the season. It had a good story to begin with, good characters and all.

I was somewhat disappointed in this episode, actually, with all the "lucky breaks" that happen to bring the characters together (Benedict --- instead of one of the villagers out hunting them --- seeing Allison and Wil hide in the shack, and Allison and Wil being the first people Benedict encounters (besides Fiona, of course)). Finally, on your note about the OP foreshadowing the series: <a href="http://amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4840226296/ref=s9sims_c3_img1?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&amp;pf_rd_s=center-3&amp;pf_rd_r=1CMYX042W9Z93K60V523&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=61605606&amp;pf_rd_i=489986" rel="nofollow">volume three of the <i>Allison</i> novel series shows Allison in front of a train.</a> Now that I’ve had a chance to see this episode myself (though not with sub-titles, so my understanding of the dialogue is limited) — I guess I was wrong about the villagers protecting Fiona, since she seems to surprise them all with her true identity.

Therefore, if Fiona vouches for them, as far as these villagers are concerned, her word is law. The preview, with Fiona confronting that politician on a balcony in front of a crowded square, looks like it takes place in the domed building in the OP. So, yes, the OP does appear to be foreshadowing the events of this part of the series. You're the second person I've read mentioning <i>Baccano!</i> with respect to this series. What is it, the train? I find this series cheesy, but Allison is such a winning character that this show always jumps to the head of the queue for me to watch it.

But I was expecting that the village behavior comes exactly from this fact, as no one outside the village can be trusted, because the royal family was attacked and killed in a "coup de etat". Trust no one is a good police in that case. ^^ And I don't know why they argued, Allison and Will already sleep together before, if I'm right in the second episode. Well, with that tension about Allison asking Will to live together on the capital, is understandable. =) Well, I was already expecting that girl to be the princess, survivor of the fire incident mentioned in the previous episode.
