Tegami Bachi REVERSE – 17

As far as I'm concerned, Jiggy is already a Head Bee. He just likes his job at Yuusari Central.

Gauche or Noir? The conclusion of the last episode left me fairly convinced Noir was pretending to be Gauche, but I'm not so sure anymore when he saved Lag without anybody realizing. There were a lot of indications that he put up an act to fool Garrid and Valentine so that he can return to Reverse and allow Lag to escape, such as his insistence not to use a shindanjuu that may have revealed his true intentions.

Tempest Turn

I was anticipating some content to be skipped if this adaptation was going to make any headway with twelve episodes, but I wasn't expecting five chapters to be sped through in a mere twenty minutes. It was a furious and pace and came at the cost of a lengthy flashback, which is unfortunate because it showed a lot more depth to Ingrid's character.

"Why do you care? Why do you want to help me? Why am I so important to you?" Why oh why indeed. I know, how about, "because if I don't, there would be no story!" This works also, "because you're a girl!" Or "because my powers happen to help your goal, so why can't you just understand and stop being so effin' tsundere?" Yeah. That works.
