Well, I got one thing right. 
@ meiam: They didn't notice the ruby because it was sealed away behind the fresco. Of course that doesn't explain why Izetta didn't set it off, when her blood in a bottle did (I presume that's her blood, drawn from when she was in the capsule). Skin is a more potent container than glass? It also doesn't explain why they needed the little clone witch to slurp on Izetta to active her or whatever, if they already had her blood. I won't belabor the complaints everyone else has made about castle security and masquerade shenanigans, except to say I share them. As for why the competent sniper was incompetent enough to not watch the body until it could be recovered, she was probably lost in thoughts of cherry pie. Gah, Izetta's veil is nice, but raccoon masks and anime eyes are not cute, they're terrifying (unless you're a tanuki). That thumbnail gives me ptsd.

Oh I assumed she poisoned Izetta somehow, it did not even occur to me that they would actually need her blood because, like you said, that would make absolutely no sense. If it is the case then, wow I'd be embarrassed being the writer!

A lot of people seem to feel there was supposed to be a budding romance between Bianca and Rickert this episode. I guess I can see where they're coming from. But personally the scene where they're discussing the white witch legend gave me the impression Bianca is in love with Fine. She says "I love the ending, where she keeps protecting the country for the person she loves even though they’ll never be together. I think that’s what real love is." While blushing.
(Also back in episode six Elvira got Bianca to change her mind about playing a man for Izetta's dance practice by saying "I guess I'll have to call Hans or Sieg instead. I was thinking of having the man dance with archduchess Fine to show how its done." At the time it seemed like it was just a bit of throwaway comedy, but in light of that line from the scene at the Inn...) |

But that doesn't explain the blushing from him walking on her naked, nor his last line on the roof.

Ok. ok.
I have long since given up on taking this show seriously. -Closest loyal bodyguards to the archduchess just pick up random strangers for no reason, and then shares a hotel with him. -The all-important underground tunnels and chambers weren't destroyed -two random guys can just walk into said all-important tunnels undetected -that white witch kiss. All of it. WTF? -the snipers can spot the spy to shoot him but can't notice another man taking things out of his pocket This entire show has become a case of plot convenience. |

Then by all means, bail. Frankly, I've never understood the attraction in continuing to watch series that are continually disappointing or frustrating. Me, I just drop 'em unless it's something I'm reviewing. As to Finé not recognizing Berkman, in addition to him never naming himself or explaining who he was, the lighting was also bad in both that scene and this one. Besides, even in good lighting I wouldn't necessarily remember the face of someone I've only seen once, and then only under a high-stress condition. As for her and Izetta not being recognized at the party, I'll admit that's more of a stretch, but let's also remember that video and TV didn't exist at that time the way it does today. Yes, their pictures would have been in the the news, but it's not so unbelievable that they wouldn't be recognized, especially in atypical clothing for both. |

Well, judging by her eyes, something happened to little white witch after she swallowed the blood she sucked, so I assumed she got charged up by more than kissing her.
Does it need any? oO If you walked in on me taking a bath, I'd turn 40 shades of red, and I promise I have no romantic feelings toward you. |

Still too early to assume that guy was dead. I mean, he could be escaped death. Remember that he found the stone inside castle? He put it in left chest pocket which is near part he was shot. The stone could do something magical since it is related to Witch. It would be funny if they somehow fail to explain what that stone or gem can do.
Btw the scene where Fine and Izetta after met Witch clone I was like, WTF? They gonna pretend nothing happened? Whats wrong with this anime? This become downhill since Jonas overheard Izetta secret. |

I thought he gave the stone to the other spy, though. |

Finé and Izetta didn't pretend like nothing happened, so I don't know where you're getting that from. Now, if that's not brought up in an upcoming episode as a concern then you will have a legitimate complaint. |

Redford asking what just bothered them but Fine just answer him "nothing". If Fine really concerned about someone knows about Izetta, she could bring that matter right now or in meeting but nope. And of course we know it will reveal later in future episode that Fine remember what happened before, betting on "how can you/she have that witch power?" scene and she maybe talk about it beforehand but its kinda silly considering real life situation don't work like that. Its like you just meet someone who claimed he is a terrorist and just set a time bomb and you just said "nothing"? I dont know if that was really normal but I prefer her to act quickly rather than delaying it. |

Oh boy
spoiler[ Shits happened. Izetta is not even remember the girl from that night. Sieg got something hidden but not plan to use it? ] Also, just found out Izetta's script writer was the one who did Guilty Crown. Oh god, that anime is so bad I swear I wont watch it again. If Izetta is going to be trainwreck again, I gonna avoid watch anything written by this guy in future. |

I really enjoyed episode 9 - things are looking pretty bleak for Our Heroes! Looking forward to see what happens next week.
