That was pretty crazy. I wonder if she is "awaken" now after what happened at the end. Curious about what's going on with the school.

Wow, that episode was awesome. I thought the first ep was good, but this was even better. I especially liked the end with the girl in the wheel chair looking out the window and turning away, with the music playing over the other character's reactions. Well done scene.

This show looks as though it will be pretty heavy on the let's-encourage-slash-fic sort of subtext.

E.g. the cat-girl brunette is obviously not going to be in an actual lesbian relationship with the main character, but the artists are obviously trying to play up that angle with the end credits stills and the risque dialogue over the end credits.

"Why did I give my first kiss to a girl like this?"

"Okay, I'll give it back."

Fan service. Am I a recovering addict, or just a plain old addict?

So Fuka Academy is nicely done and looks like a high class private school completely managed by the students themselves....looks like Tate is in the kendo club. Looks like Mikoto is one hungry/agile gir=>
l Looks like Mashiro/Fumi=>
have a major role but they also know Nagi (interesting person but I think he is evil)=>
who knows a lot too since he knows Mai is the last Hime, which are the following=>
that is interesting enough but doubtful it's free as a power. Looks like some monster appears (that belongs to the Orphen type)=>
and attacks Takumi who gets protected in time from it by Mai who awakens in very amazing way=> and Kuga who makes a amazing entrance. Looks like here=>
shows powers are activated with this red star by having that symbol glow wherever it is on the body of the female. Looks to me Tate cannot get out of his mind how nice the breasts of Mai are and I have to agree with him that they are a reasonable size=>
Looks like from this flashback=>
Mai's mother died in the hospital and Mai was with her brother at that time. Overall nice progress going on. BTW BD are amazing and this one surely is better than the its DVD/TV version counterparts.

I thought Mikoto was hilarious and I love her hair. I hope we get to hear her talk more next episode.

Mikoto's hair is fine. What is wrong with it? :o

Anyways, very funny episode once again and it's nice to see Mai is finally "awakening". That student council blonde chick is really obnoxious, though.

This awakening of Mai's power seems to foresee some tragic stuff that will happen, with how they executed it, like it is a curse or something...

Damn the red forest visuals, the music for monster are all bangers.

And nice power showcase.

And the nun's voice is so soothing in the church.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

We got quite a bit of interesting characters, lots of designs that stand out, even if some of them aren’t relevant I wish more shows would give the background characters this amount of detail. And damn those flip phones man, that’s how you know this came out in 2004 lol, one of my favorite things about watching older shows is seeing the tech from the time, and I’m old enough to remember flip phones so it’s pretty nostalgic. Also that one girl being on her phone in class, the more things change the more they stay the same lol.

And the end of this one was quite intense, was not expecting Mai’s brother to be nearly devoured by something like that lol, I’m betting this is just a taste of what this show has to offer, I gotta say they got me hooked now, I’m excited for the next episode.
