English Dub Review: Sugar Apple Fairy Tale “The Red Fairy”

Overview

Gladus has revealed his true nature. As he leaves, he attacks Orland. When Bridget hears that Orland’s been hurt as a result of Gladus using her, she’s horrified. Hugh reminds them that they’re still working under a deadline. How will they make it now?


Our Take

Lafalle wounds Orland making him unable to use his left eye, further putting the artisans behind schedule. With Bridget blaming herself for bringing the fairy into the castle that injured her childhood friend, Anne convinces her to think about what to do next. The other artisans continue their work as they re-grind the hardened silver sugar to make the confections. The next day, Noah agrees to help, while Elliot brings in Kat to uphold his part of the deal. Later in the day, Anne and Elliot return to Lewiston to meet the priest organizing the festival, and the priest presents an offer to Anne in which the Mercury Workshop takes over and the Paige Workshop will still get paid the reward.

Anne declines, putting the workshop’s reputation on the line. On the way out of Lewiston, Anne spots Jonas drunk on the street. Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing, Jonas has given up on being an artisan, but Anne convinces him to fill in for Orland and help make the confections for the festival. Back at the castle, Lafalle attacks again, threatening to kill Elliot unless Anne and Challe go along with him leaving Anne to make an uneasy decision…

Overall, this was quite a thrilling episode. I was really surprised when Jonas was brought again, but then again…if they ever want to make that order on time, he will be needed as I get a feeling it’ll take a while before Challe can free Anne. It also looks like Bridget might finally grow up a little after her friend ends up losing an eye. As for the way it ended, it was a pretty harsh situation. I hope Lafalle doesn’t get to have his way this easily. But I guess we’ll find out in the next episode.
