love Eva’s flower dress, and I love that Vicky and Nonna get multiple outfits too c:
I like that there’s closeup shots that guide the viewer without explicitly telling us things, and given the sparser animation I definitely didn’t expect the subtle facial shifts to come across so effectively. Given the attention to detail there, it’s strange that the manga-style sequences felt like they were sprinkled in randomly instead of being used more intentionally? (this was the case in the first episode too) The flashback was the only one that felt deliberate.
I like that they’re trying to use dialogue / inner monologue to characterize Victoria, but it feels hamfisted sometimes. It does have its good moments, so I’m hoping they get more comfortable blending those in.

They are reducing her thoughts quite a bit here. This is to be expected for an anime adaptation, but I feel like they reduce it more than usual here. On one hand, I am pleased that there aren’t extensive scenes of just inner monologue exposition. On the other hand, they cut now so much that a lot of her character and motivations are lost, and I agree that it feels hamfisted. As @Polkira@piefed.ca mentioned, she feels now “too perfect” without getting the exposition in her inner thoughts about why she is so perfect. Her character in the anime also feels less unfortunate. Maybe they will go into more detail in the next episodes so I’m not saying more in case of spoilers, but at this point in the LN it’s already clear to the reader that not everything is mirth and carefree wonder.
there hasn’t been much explicit foreshadowing (apart from the ending scene), but it did make me a bit nervous when she was doing the opposite of what she explicitly laid out last episode–not scoping out her new place, telling everyone where she lives, telling Jeffrey about her past
I chalked it up to showing how she’s subconsciously fallen for Jeffrey already, but it’d be pretty neat if it actually is foreshadowing for later

The picnic was pretty cute. I think they’re making Vicky a little too perfect though, no one is that perfect. Hopefully they make her a little more human in the coming episodes.
