----------------------------------------
For the most part, it was a light-hearted episode and a change of pace from the previous few episodes. The ending really surprised me though, since they're going to have to fight eachother now. This is going to be really interesting considering that most of them are friends with eachother, and killing the person's child will make that person lose what's most important to them, considering what happened before with Akane who had her child defeated. It also seems that Takumi is in a bad position with Akira.

This reminds me of Fate/stay night a bit. The rest of this show is going to get really good it seems. Can't wait to see how this works out with everybody.

God, i hope it isn't gonna be as idiotic as i think its going to be, a completely random deathmatch against all HiMEs? after all thats happened? please... please don't be true. People say the story/plot is pretty strong so it can't be that retarded... heres to hoping.

PS. Lol at the ending. Mai's brother: Oh, don't worry about that, i'm used to seeing bigger ones Akira: YOUR DEAD MEAT!

Should have seen this coming but still ... that caught me by surprise good it wasn't just some filler episode where they celebrate the whole time. But isn't Akira over-reacting just a little with Takumi @_@?

I loved mai's latex/leather shinny police girl outfit she wore in this one. Most of them had outfits they were forced to wear while singing that would embaress them, also give the others a good laugh.

Well, that was quite a change of mood for the most pf the episode, which is not bad. I had quite a few laughs mostly thanks to our favourite jester Midori.

Just a few random SSs I had to take...

Nao and Natsuki laughing their ass out loud over each other was the funniest.

Very funny episode and it seems like the final act is about to commence. I too agree that a deathmatch would be stupid If it goes as planned (killing off all their loved ones).

Loved the Go Go Hime Rangers or Gundam Hime from the last episode and I wonder why it's so bad if he finds out she's a girl to the point of killing him?

It disturbs me so much that she's in love with him but keeps calling him 'Onii-chan'.

Given the battle royale format, is there really another HiME that can take down phoenix? Artemis couldn't do it even in outer space, I don't think the other HiME has much chance except to rely on Mai's sympathy.

Omg this episode is so great (but quite a shocker at the end). The karaoke part is funny xD I love when Mikoto sticks her face on the glass at the chapel to get Sister's attention.

Unfortunately I had gotten so into the show and reading so much about it that I accidentally learned about the HiME festival before watching this episode :( But still this is where things get super intense!

Funny seeing how I totally didn't remember about any of this Akane/Natsuki stuff going on when I watched it the first time.

Surprise so that was only the prelude to it main event?!
So now Hime Carnival is going to start heh?

Mai can be really OP when she wants to.

That was really funny, I kinda forgot most of the episode was laugh after laugh with that ending going on and all.

Yup, this is pretty much like Fate/stay night.
And I liked that little moment of Natsuki and Nao looking at each other and kind of bonding, even more than the two of them laughing at each other.

This show really love to drop a bombshell at the end of episode, doesn't it? This is certianly the biggest one yet.
Other than that it was a very funny episode as the all got drunk and sang karaoke in weird costumes.

It isn't uncommon in anime as far as I know. I mean they aren't blood-related or anything... not as if that really mattered in anime...

Chill episode was definitely needed after the last one, the goofy shenanigans and SoL is what this show does best so I’m glad to have it since I wasn’t too fond of the previous episode, it’s almost hard to believe these are the same girls just took on a private army lol. The karaoke bit was particularly great, some of those outfits were quite wild, and I love when they take opportunities to embarrass the fuck out of Natsuki, also Midori and her shirt bursting chest was nice lol. I also like the aspect that Mai loves to sing, I found that pretty cute.

But at the very end, right after the girls finished having a good time, Nagi finally unveils that he’s an asshole (always has been lol) when he let the HiMEs know they’ll be fighting their own Personas/Monsters/Children, perhaps this star isn’t as great as it seemed at first. There was also the bit with Shiho, she’s a HiME too isn’t she lol, took her long enough to come out as one, I did think it was sus how she survived that last orphan attack. And lastly it looks like Mai’s brother figured out Akira’s secret, and it appeared it was a secret he couldn’t live knowing but the preview clearly shows that’s not the case lol, I’m looking forward to seeing how their interactions go now.

Glad the show reeled me back in this episode, episode 15 kinda lost me a bit but the girls being silly reminded me why I’ve been loving this show so far, of course there’s been lots of cool action moments too but I feel like the conflict of episodes 14 and 15 was just too grand a scale for what was believable in this show, I actually watched a show somewhat recently called “I Shall Survive Using Potions” that had a very similar issue half way through, but I liked that show overall and I think it’s the same case here.
