Short Synopsis: Lots of things grow this episode: Eponine’s hatred towards Cosette, Zephine’s suspicions of Cosette’s mother and Javell’s suspicions of Jean.
Good: This anime really remains consistently good so far. Even though this episode mostly built up, I loved it.
Bad: It’s been one month and still no subs?! What the hell?
Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10
I’m actually suspecting that Javell has known Jean’s identity all along. He just needs to get enough evidence for him, as you don’t suddenly arrest the major of a town without any proof for it. It seems that he was the main guard for Valjean, probably also one of the main reasons that got him locked up. Right now, he keeps dropping hints towards Jean, hoping for him to turn himself in, while he collects information about the guy. Jean, meanwhile, shows this episode how his character changed incredibly from his younger version. He’s become really dedicated not to let others follow the same path he did.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens when the entire factory knows that Fantine (that was her name, right?) has a daughter somewhere. I reckon that she won’t be able to work in the factory anymore, but will that be everything? There’s probably something else about to happen.
Oh, and Eponine was wonderful this time. With this, she really became a person, instead of a 1-dimensional stereotype. Toron(?) may not have been very interesting in the previous episode, he makes sure of some interesting events when he starts ignoring Eponine for Cosette. It’s strange, normally I don’t like love triangles due to them being overused as hell and their predictability, though I’m actually beginning to like this.
This definitely is another one of those anime who doesn’t deserve to get this neglected. I’m hoping for the subs to arrive soon, so that more people can get to see this little gem.]]>
Les Miserables – Shoujo Cosette – 05
Javert wasn’t Valjean’s guard he just saw him once while inspecting the jail,he is a police inspector. Also he doesn’t suspect Madeleine of being Valjean,he is on a “financial” mission: the police is suspicious of Mr. Madeleine who was a complete stranger and built a fortune, they think he may be in some sort of black market.
As for Fantine, don’t forget that every cent she earns at the factory she gives it to the Thenardier who always pretend that Cosette cost them lot of money on food,disease,clothes…etc
Ah, thanks for the clarifications. That indeed seems a bit more logical to the story. My japanese still isn’t at the level I’d like it, so comments like these are always especially helpful. 🙂
First episode was finally subbed! The rest should be done by 2013! =D
Hehe, finally! 😀
It’ll be interesting to see how people will react to this series. At least, when more episodes get subbed.
I’m betting that the next one will come in one month and twelve days from now.
