MALDREAD
I'm personally hoping for more episodes like XY59 to air throughout the rest of the series. I thought the amour hints in the episode were pretty good and pretty much spot on from what I was expecting, except the part where Ash was fooling around more during the shopping scenes. I figured Serena would be the one to be less focused, or so it seems. Anyways I loved the moment where Ash gave the ribbon he won as a gift to Serena, I pretty much consider it a hint, a subtle one at that. I also think that whenever he scratches his face that it's a subtle hint as well as he's never done that before iirc. What I hope to see for any future date episodes is more subtle hints for Ash while Serena starts opening up and showing more hints on the outside besides blushing. I do think amour may have a chance to become 2 sides, which would be great imo and would add some depth to both characters. Plus it'd be really cute lol.
Nothing new happened in this episode in development. Serena really isn't acting on what Millefui told her. And Ash goes off on his own for the most of the "date." Scenes like the cliff/river one and more banter is what is better in writing than forced red herring promotions.
