THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
First half was about cooking, with some action in the second half. Akira is a HiME and for some reason, a girl pretending to be a guy (reverse trap). Something involving Valkyries, though I have no idea what that means quite yet. Seems something bad is cooking up.

Valkyries, if I remember correctly, is the term describing the bad things that keep popping up they have to fight.

I don't think that is out right explained....

Lmao lol ok... Valkyries is the english term for HiMEs, though I prefer the term HiME better. As for episode 10 - It was hilarious! So funny... And this is one of my favourite animes ever by the way ^^.

Hmm, some things need to be explained soon. Why are the monster stuff around, why is the Nagi guy bringing them into this world, and is the church involved?

I absolutely love the battle music that played during Akira's fight.

Two things.

Never trust a priest and the cake is a lie.

Somehow even an episode about baking cake managed to progress the story and draw my attention enough to be good.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Agreed.

Hmm. Somehow I'm not sure which is harder for me to accept - the forced cooking contest or all the weird mecha/automations/spirits (whatever they are).

Omg I love this episode so much xD Enter Akira, my favorite HiME, and Gennai, the awesome frog Child! Seeing the characters bake cakes together is so funny! And lol they had to call an ambulance in. Plus we first get to see Alyssa Searrs being part of the sketchiness! Best episode in the series (or at least the first half) imo :3

So Akira is a female and HIME...
I also noticed that Natsuki dog from the previous episode (flashback) was called Duran. And her materialization weapon is also called Duran, dont tell me they were are the same?! That would be twisted, turning a dog into a cyborg wolf...
Ever since that little silver haired bitch killed Akane's materialization and per consequence her lover, I hated that one, I knew she was up to no good, and now the priest and the blondy join the party too! I bet that maid is also involved,
she could be a cyborg too.

But most annoying of all would be Nagi, with his schemes! Like you want Hime to fight and destroy Orphans then why are you involded into making Orphans cause problems?! 1st District are a bunch of assholes! If I had to compare this anime to magical girl madoka, I would say 1st District seems to be the equivalent to Kyubey!

1st district would be equivalent of the incubatore and Nagi with Kyubey!

Interesting that our cyborg girl didn't seem to report Akane to the priest? He named only the main trio of HiME, but not her...hmmmmm...maybe she's irrelevant now after the death of her boyfriend, dunno.

Now that I think about it, Duran might be a Casshern reference.

Didn't quite understand what was Mai's present

Lost it when Mikoto started to crack an egg in every available plate. 
Also should have been obvious that Akira was a girl in hindsight

To no one’s surprise, Akira is a girl and she also happens to be a kunoichi with her own HiME powers, she had a cool looking frog robot and was pretty badass there, gotta love how innocent Takumi is too lol, isn’t even concerned he was being attacked by a monster. Now I’m just wondering why Akira is hiding her identity, unless it’s just a thing where she likes looking like a boy, but it’s 2004 so I doubt that lol.

Besides that, this was another very fun episode with some cake baking mayhem, lots of good bits in there including Nao and Natsuki shit talking each other, Mikoto ruining all the cakes with the help of the orphan, and my favorite part which was Shiho face planting into the cake, after all that happened it was just too much for me lol, it killed me. And it was also apparently Mai’s birthday, they had a cute celebration at the end there, and there was also the reveal that Alyssa is helping to what looks like create orphans kinda like bio weapons, I’m still unsure if her and Miyu are villains tho, despite the fact Miyu killed that guy before lol.
