In Summary:
Le Chevalier d'Eon progresses smoothly with this volume and shakes things up considerably as characters are repositioned – or removed entirely – as the finale gets ever closer. Events have been moving forward on both a large and small scale and the character interactions are being toyed with by the large scale events. The most interesting aspect is how the colonization aspect of England and France comes into play with regards to the relationship between the two countries. Each have had such varied relations with each other over the centuries that something as sizeable as the New World can certainly change perceptions. When it comes to the core of the series however, the characters continue to shine as they move about the real world personalities and events that shape the world. Very entertaining, engaging and worth checking out.

This is where the shit hits the fan and erased my doubts about buying the show in singles. The final six episodes are pretty awesome and make up for some lackluster ones.

Of course a lot of the developments that occur aren't surprising if you've been paying attention to the series from the start (and its opening theme), but it's so well-directed that I couldn't care less.

I need gao and oxygen

Seriously, I'm looking forward to this as well. It's listed as "Reserved," so hopefully my copy will ship soon

Got it and watched, all I can say is that if you thought the last volume was great, this one is probably the best of the series I've seen so far. The english dub is definitely a must-watch, let's be serious people French don't speak japanese and even though they can't speak french, the english track is still worth watching. I tell you, I wish I could have Taylor Hannah read Bible Verses to me all day.

So, are there commentaries on this volume?
