| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I really can’t say enough good things about this show. This episode had me laughing so much, yet there’s so much plot development. Most of that development is from Takumi, who seems to have matured quite a bit from his days in HiME. He leads thoughtful discussions about the poverty in Vintoblum with Mashiro and then about the Otome with Natsuki. In the former, Mashiro says something that’s reminiscent of Marie Antoinette’s “let them eat cake” statement, though it probably wasn’t meant in the same manner. It really does show how naive she is towards ruling her people and the divide between the rich and the poor. I find it quite ironic that Mashiro was skipping out on a marriage interview, yet she ended up going on a date with Takumi, who is really the prince anyway. |

| Lol, who would of guessed that the "prince" was a fake too XD |

| Yeah, was a really really good episode. The second half especially, I honestly think this show is even better than Hime. And I thought Hime was a great show, but every episode of Otome builds on the other and i'm interested in the mention of Mai. Seems like she may have an important part to play in the series, but I don't know if it will be physically or just as an image of what an otome "shouldn't" do. As it seems as though she did something wrong in the past. It almost seems as though she is dead though. All around great episode, the best yet; IMO. |

| It seems that we might see Mai in the future. I wonder what happened to her. Why is the show still called MAI-Otome though and not Arika-Otome? Is Mai gone a become very important or is it just to keep the relation with Mai-Hime? I expected to see there surprised faces when they discovered they were both fake(well Arika not really. What a mess. A real princess that pretends to be the real princess) but the show didn't developed that way. |
| Identity swap episodes are always fun! It's hilarious to see how the characters from HiME got reinterpreted here. The ED song performed by Arika's (?) seiyuu was nice too! |
