Eris no Seihai エリスの聖杯 https://myanimelist.net/anime/60151/Eris_no_Seihai Synopsis It is common knowledge that nobles will do anything for power; lying, manipulation, and extortion are the usual tactics. However, one family is exempt from this generalization: House Grail, whose main tenets are truth and integrity. The youngest daughter, Constance Grail, is just as moral as the rest of her family, believing in always doing the right thing and helping those in need. However, these ideals do not help her when her fiancé cheats on her with another woman. Framed by his lover in the hope of her downfall, Constance's pleas for justice are ignored. Everyone turns a blind eye, save for one—the spirit of the infamous Scarlet Castiel—who possesses Constance and turns the tables on her accuser. However, this aid doesn't come without a price. Ten years ago, Scarlet was executed for the attempted murder of Princess Cecilia. But this was actually a setup; as blunt and harsh as Scarlet could be, she would never stoop so low as to use poison. She has no idea who orchestrated her incrimination, but Scarlet demands that Constance—as the only one who can see her—help her exact revenge on all those who wronged her!

| Ep 1: Nice, already way better revenge the the entire season of that show from last season My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha: Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, I'm Out for Revenge!. Women seem to be better at revenge. Looking forward to more. Another great character named Scarlet too. |
| Episode 1 It begins with Connie witnessing Scarlett's execution back in her childhood. Ten years later, Connie finds out that Pamela has been in an affair with Neil, who Connie is engaged to. Pam tries to steal Neil by framing Connie for stealing Brenda's hairpin by having her drop it then asking Connie to hold it while she retrieves her purse, which Pam swoops right in to accuse her. But Connie gets possessed by Scarlett's ghost and she outs the truth about what really happened as the mob turns on Pam after hearing the confessions. As punishment, Pam is made to dance for hours barefoot. The next day, Scarlett explains why she was executed, and that she was set up by Enrique and Cecilia and vows to get revenge on them for framing her. So she possesses Connie for that purpose. Pretty nice start here given expectations, and here we have another lady named Scarlett who asks for one final thing, which is to possess Connie and get her revenge on those Terenezza wannabes. |
| Seems like the villainess in this story really is a villainess |
| so seeing as none of the characters carry the name Eris we can assume it is a reference to the goddess of strife and discord. so I think perhaps Scarlet's revenge will be quite far reaching. |
| It starts off with a standard trope, but I like what they've done with it. It does remind me a lot of May I Ask for One Final Thing, just without all the punching. I'll definitely be watching. |
| This definitely has more going for it than most fantasy anime. I'm already liking it better than the Pummeling Princess from last season. And the MC has a chubby friend what? |

| I almost skipped through the framing part as it was so irritatingly cliche, but good thing I didn't-- the payoff was worth it! As soon as Scarlet Castiel fought fire with even more fiery fire, it was freakin' 'fire'! Then the 'cherry on top' of Castiel effectively reusing Pam's own words against her... chef's kiss! *3* Welp... I might have one too many revenge shows now. Might drop one of them-- likely Roll Over and Die. Gonna refer to Scarlet Castiel as just "Castiel" since we just had a Scarlet. (Is that a trendy name in Japan these days? xD) |

| Episode 2 Now that Constance is on-board with helping Scarlett in her revenge plot to expose the ones responsible for framing her, the next order or business is to investigate the death of her best friend Lily. Official word is that she committed suicide, but knowing her quite well that she believes she was murdered as she would never take her own life like that. So Constance disguises herself as the nun Lettie to the shrine where they find a hidden envelope with a key and a message that says to destroy the Holy Grail of Eris. And she runs into Randolph, who knew right away who she was, but was willing to play along for awhile as he was Lily's husband and now a widower. And then at the party Randolph approaches Constance, and Scarlett takes over her buy as now he realizes that they are two personalities inhabiting the same body. Then the party gets cancelled when one of the guests acts violently. And then a secret affair is going on in the courtyard. There's just a lot of bad blood going around here, and this goes to show that there's quite a lot of plotting and scheming going on and it is important to pick who one can trust. |
| Oooooooh so much drama, murder, infiedlity now drugs. And really, her friend didn't touch her pie? LOL |
| Certainly the best mystery this season. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| So the "Holy Grail of Eris" is a real thing but is it an actual Grail or name of a secret evil society curiouser and curiouser yes I think I will stick with this one also Scarlet really is THE name for a vengeful noble lady isn't it. We're up to three of them come February. |
Greylurker said: also Scarlet really is THE name for a vengeful noble lady isn't it Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn |
| Episode 3 Scarlett reveals her background as she is descended from the imperial family of Faris. So Constance infiltrates the Earl John Doe Ball to meet up with the hostess Deborah using the name of Eris like Scarlett did 10 years ago. It turns out that the ball is just a cover for a human trafficking operation, and a raid is on to arrest the members. Constance nearly was arrested after she tried to help a wounded woman, but it's a good thing Randolph is part of raid as he knew she was just a bystander. So Constance negotiates with Randolph, and they get engaged in exchange for her family debts being paid off, so now they become a couple, though she still won't spill the beans about Scarlett by her orders. And so, Constance finds herself engaged with the widower of Scarlett's late friend, which should be beneficial seeing that he understands Constance and Scarlett better than anybody, though if not for Scarlett's orders Constance would be willing to tell the truth. |
| Dang it! I watched episodes in reverse again! >_< I like how both Castiel and Constance are so scared of Randolph. Castiel even went into the void just to avoid talking to him xD (she ended up having to anyway). I'm seeing resemblance of Monica Everett in Constance. Monica's squirrel cuteness is hard to beat but, Constance's quite close. |
|
| Constance being so tiny compared to everyone else makes her standout way too much, it should be pretty obvious to everyone who she is at these parties. Really wish they made her character older. Well she said she is now going to be whatever it takes after abandoning her family motto, kind of doubt she lives up to that pledge. |
| Considering how small that mask was I thought for sure she'd put on a wig. I expected Scarlet would see how easily she'd be recognized. Though maybe she wanted her to get recognized. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Episode 4 This episode is all about Constance being a detective to find out what really happened with Scarlett, and she needs Scarlett to bail her out when things go wrong. First, she attends a secret tea party with Deborah and learns she had a role in this, but blows her cover in doing so and Abigail arrives to put an end to end the tea party immediately. Then there's Amelia looking to get the scoop, and Aldous bails her out as Amelia is given a scolding. Then there's Kim and Kate. Then she meets Cecilia herself to get her account of the situation where the one who possibly has the answers is her faithful merchant Vado. And then while going around, Constance is stranded in a carriage, and thanks to Scarlett noticing that the voice is different that Constance fell right into a trap. Constance has now made enemies who are out to bury the truth about what happened to Scarlett. |
| So, what exactly was the purpose of that investigative party? I can't imagine they have any lawful way to "punish" her, was it just to threaten her with being ostracized in noble society? |
| This show is introducing way too many characters, its not good when you need to take notes to be able to follow along. I don't have that much time to devote to this show. At least shit got real at the end. So Scarlett can use Force lightning? |
| Episode 5 It's Aldous to the rescue as he takes down that fake coachman who tried to kill Constance. So after some more digging around and noticing the tattoo on Jane, the ones behind all this crime is the syndicate Daeg Gallus. And then her friend Kate gets kidnapped and is told to come alone to the lake alone. It turns out that Salvador orchestrated this and kidnapped Kate in order to get his hands on Lily's key in Constance's possession. It was actually a trap set up as they were going to kill Kate either way, but it's a good thing Randolph knew Constance was bad at lying and was there to rescue Kate while rounding up the kidnapper, but Cecilia takes him out. And according to Amelia, Cecilia isn't what records say she is as she's actually the daughter of a prostitute and a replacement, so there's more reason to believe that Cecilia is up to something wicked. |
| Oooh I thought Kate was dead, drugs, abortions, prostitutes, child trafficking it's like it's mirroring our modern news. Constance getting a reality check on how ugly her "polite" society really is. |
| Episode 6 And after digging around, Scarlett has found the person responsible for making the poison that got Scarlett framed for attempting to kill the prince's lover that led to her execution. It's none other than Aisha Huxley, or Aisha Spencer as she was known ten years ago, as her family produced accessories and Aisha made the hallucinogenic perfume known as Jackal's Paradise. So after asking the O'Brians to secure an invitation to meet Aisha, Constance goes in and Scarlett possesses her to get her to confess to her crime. Then she tries to kill herself, but Constance stopped her before that happened. So with that, Constance now knows who actually made the poison and the organization that tried to take her down in Daeg Gallus, but there are still more people to take down. |
| Not sure if they set Aisha up to do all that or if they just took advantage of it when it happened. Regardless it gave them the opportunity to frame Scarlett and get her out of the way. So with the immediate issue resolved we now turn our attentions to the greater conspiracy. |
| Wow they actually revealed something of substance already. Hopefully this keeps going. Constance the smart one for once, turning point for her character. |
| Episode 7 Aisha is killed by Deborah to silence her, and Abby was framed for it. With her final words, Aisha tells Aldous to investigate her cousin Sharon. So with these leads, they try and find out who truly orchestrated all this as at the very least they know that there's no evidence to incriminate Abby. The guy suspected is the earl Kalvin, and to get the inside scoop Constance talks with somebody close to him in Kimberly, who learns that he had been stealing money and using it for donations to cover his tracks. In the end, Abby is acquitted due to the lack of evidence, while the true culprit killed himself before he could be questioned. But there's another suspect under their noses as Amelia is apparently in on this scheme. And then San and Euralia come in to help out by giving her a map, and with that and the code on the key, Constance is onto something. So some more digging here, but now Constance believes she has a big breakthrough, and it will be interesting to see what that is. |
