Mai Otome Ep21- Princess or not, Mashiro is the queen.
Frankly speaking, I was looking forward this this ep. Two things that attracted me. One was the fight between Nina and shadow Mikoto. I was hoping to actually SEE Mikoto. But no... just a few pseudo fight scenes and all I got was a back shot of an awakening Mikoto. WHAT THE?! It was exactly the same shot as the preview!!! This is cheating!
The other thing that kinda disappointed was the lack of follow-up to that outrageous shizTom scene at the end of ep 20. ( or may be they didnt show wat i wanted to see XD) But from the looks of it, it really happened. The nightmare really happened. And the lady who initiated the thing looks so damned bloody satisfied... "Pls forget everything that happened today" NO WAY! I wanna forget too!! But it's lotched deep in my cortex! The damage has been done!!!
But after greenhead left, we see that the cheerful (and quite retarded) Shizuru change into a pensive look, saying "I'll let you have your way for now..." T_T which can only mean one thing... But at least she didnt go nuts and retreated to the intellect of a toddler.
And what's with the toys? My guess: Tomoe has been deprived of motherlove and desperately wants some love and care, hence the fetish. And Shizuru apparantly has very motherly qualities which can mean Tomoe is living out her "childhood dream". Of course, more ugly and less innocent thoughts have been considered, but I'll just leave it as that, cos it pains to even think wat Shizuru has to go through if she was the receiving party...
Oh well the ep was not that bad. Two unexpected good stuff happened. AOI IS ALIVE! At least that's what I think after seeing Chie see someone in a hospital bed...
The other redeeming quality of this ep was undeniably(for me) also the highlight of the show. Mashiro's emotional struggle to save those people who literally forced Aoi to her "death" was quite moving. And yet while hating them she also recognizes that their hate stems from the fact that she hadn't been doing her job. And those past eps of seeing Midori lead her people show their use/effect here, and she finally chose to save her people and even begged Midori for sanctuary in exchange for... Gauderobe's technology???
Pardon me, but HUH? How can she go around offering something that does not belong to her??? Sunrise had better answer this question properly.
Next Ep: Mai's back with a ladle. I'm fascinated and intrigued. But given last week's stunt with Mikoto, I'm NOT gonna fall for the same trick twice!
