Mai Otome Ep8

Ep8 reveals more abt THE organ from ep7. Apparently, all the adults, excluding Nagi, know abt it. The war 50 years ago, was a fight for the possession of it. Now that it's presence is known to be in Windbloom, everyone's on edge again, and Natsuki is worried. And wonderously, she knows Arika and Mashiro have a contract. So the whole ep is abt Arika trying to find a way to nullify the contract and she ends up in Fumi's grave...along with past Otomes'. Mis Maria reveal to them the sad destiny that Otomes will have if the countries were to be at war again. Something similar to the Himes, you have to fight/kill/defeat your friends. Arika's defiant abt this fate, while Nina thinks she's quite ready if it were to happen ( T_T Nina-chan, I thought you were a nice kid... But I do think Arika's being quite naive here)

Ok, some things to note:
Miyu is introduced. I like her hat.

And ...OMG first Mikoto and now Alyssa-chan... She's a bird!

Miyu is really special. She can take off Arika and Mashiro's gem like nobody's business (when both girls surely tried their hearts out), and she see things nobody can! O^O

Nagi meets up with some guy in the bar, who happens to look 100% alike that Seare's guy in Mai Hime. So, we can all be sure he's up to mischief again and definitely has deep connections with the slaves and those envelopes.

Appearance of Midori. Seemingly as the bad guy. And leader of the Aswardos??? (man... good turned bad and bad, aka Nao/Miyu, turned good. =.=b Is Sunrise having fun or wat?)

And that kingdom which Otome is called Fia Gross, is in league with them!!!! Conspiracy!!! I smell big trouble soon.

Mai Otome Ep7

It's a nice bright morning. Sunrise finally does some good by treating me to a scene of my favourite couple relaxing...Together...In the BEDROOM...XD

Aww... The look they shared just made me go starry-eyed...

I know I know... I'm such a sucker.

Moving on. We are finally given Mashiro's background. How she grew up in the suspicion of being the fake princess... Making her become the brat that she is today.

When Arika carelessly brought up the subject in the heat of the moment (quarrelling again), she got a nice high-five on the face from the queen.

Yar. I pity mashiro. Not that i can like her for being so spoilt, but I can sympathize her plight. Always in fear that ur parents arent ur real parents...constantly living in the possibility that ur identity maybe false.

So. This ep we are introduced to the organ. (there's a long name for it, but i cant remember) It's THE organ.Mashiro and Arika accidentally stumbled upon it in the undergrounds of the palace. Mashiro pressed one of the keys and it produced a huge sound that spanned across...well...lets just put it as a LARGE radius.


The frequency was so high... or decibels too much...it shattered windows and broke Mashiro and Arika's gems.


Just nice, a slave appeared just so Arika could find out she could use the two gems hidden in her necklace. A quick exchange of vows, Master-Maid contract is established, activate Meister Robe, pwn slave. Finished. Man, Arika sure jumped a few levels this ep conveniently.

Special mention for Mikoto this ep. Bravely coming to Mashiro's rescue...hehe... Look at the fur. Don't play with the cat! XD

And this!!! This MUST BE the humanized Mikoto!! But... but... why does she look so alike a monk/priest...just look at that staff...


This ep was great. Natsuki Shizuru screentime was tentamount to nil but we fans were appeased just by that scene. I liked that they revealed more on the story...organ thing and the mystery that is "who's the real princess". And most of all... that mikoto is ensured to have some dialogue soon!!

Mai Otome Ep6

Remember Mai Hime's Ep4 where Natsuki flashes Mai and Mikoto and erhm...some guy?? Well, this swimming ep is the equivalent. And more! Nina's sensitivity to touch makes her the target for all ticklish pranks. While Shiho's maki maki turns out a tentacle monster which nearly cost Nina to drown, it also became a big huge ecchi creature that made me question the shows real age limit. =.=b


Of course, Nao comes to save the day...without first taunting someone... XD

She sure looks like she's having fun!


Hahaha!! I love this picture! THIS is Nina's idea of CPR. ( I wonder if she really knows how it is done.)


One more piece to the puzzle. This image was shown when Nina was drowning... Now what could it mean???

Mai Otome Ep5

We start off ep5 with a brand new morning...with our main protagonist dreaming of teasing Nina, when instead she's the one requiring pple to wake her up...
Erstin's the nice roommate while Nina couldn't even bother.



Picking up after ep4, where someone stole her uniform, Arika is questioned by the Tries abt why her uniform happened to be found in a shop and worse, in a torn state.

Arika's in deep shit. But there comes along some letter that offers to sponsor her education in Gauderobe. Arika's at a lost, confides in Nina who blows her off for whining so much. And she goes off to investigate on her own with the help of Nao...

Oh Nao... she's so cool... But she doesn't liked to be called Juliet... I wonder why.

So meanwhile, Arika and friends embark on their own (fruitless) investigation, meeting Sergay on the way... and u know... "sparks flew". heh.

Mashiro-sama living up to the reputation of Arika's nemesis, is delighted to hear that Arika has gotten herself into trouble in such a short time.

And she ran all the way to the school just to laugh in her face... =.=b what can i say... kids...

Newsflash: Aoi and Chie KNOW EACH OTHER!!!


I forgot what's the specs girl's name. But anyway, her bulb 'tinked' when she saw Mikoto and claims she solved the mystery...MIKOTO IS THE CULPRIT! It tore Arika's uniform in the process of stealing it, but left it somewhere. So the illegal sale of uniform and tearing are 2 separate issues!!

Or so she says...



I think only Arika and Mashiro bought the story. They're such a pair.

And the real culprit is ------ Tomoe and her henchman/woman. Man... I thought she'd have better meaner ways to oust her opponent. This uniform fiasco was low.

Mai Otome Ep4

Haruka's back!! And she's no longer just a mad woman ranting off, she is a meister otome with real powers this time!!!! And of course!! Yukino is back too!!! And this time round, she's the master (president of some country) and haruka's the... well... maid. So, haruka saves Mashiro's coronation ceremony from becoming a disaster, while Yukino actually managed to get Nina to stay and Arika to be enlisted!!! Three cheers for another big comeback of the old cast!


More information is revealed this ep through Natsuki by explaining to Arika the what not to dos. Apparently the otomes are not allowed to have any sexual intercourse with males, as the nanomachines will disintegrate in the presence of a substance that is associated with sperms... So, marry=no more otome.
So, Arika is admitted, but unlike the other students, she has no country nor rich family to pay for her school fees/expenses etc, that means... well... she'd probably be working her ass off to get the money...lol.

Another titbit: The pearls have to look after the well-being of the corals. Kinda like a stand-in maids. Since the pearl population is half of the corals, each pearl has 2 corals to serve her... And surprise!! Nao's petite souer (for a lack of better word) is Nina. And more surprise!!(not really) Nao is still sneaking out of school late night... haha ^_^b loving her more with every appearance she makes.
