I guess I won't spoiler tag this, cause I have no idea what will happen, but be warned of my wordvomit
Episode 3, starto!
Okay, after intro, we get this super cool shot of Mai! Also, Techo beat to her new weird magic arm/leg rings is so cooollll
Holy shit she has no control over it, but damn is it powerful. Also, Natsuki, your reaction seems to indicate that Mai might be a special Hime? :3c
Oh, cool, Nagi appeared, (dammit I really am starting to ship it, fuck my predilection for morally ambiguous manipulative boys)
Also, having an Element is the proof you have the power of a Hime huh, hmmmmmmm, probably important maybe.
Mikoto is arriving on scene! For some reason! And calls out her creepy sword Miroku. The way she uses her sword is pretty epic, gathering momentum and swinging it around multiple times and the- HOLY SHIT SHE BISECTED THE THING.
lmaoooooo "You call that a Misunderstanding" loooooollll
ANd oh look, the monster's ALIVE. A cool design wow. and Natsuki shoots it cause yea, not a good time to be fighting each other
AND LOOK THE OTHER HALF IS ALIVE TOO WHat OH FUCK these are some Sweet Ass Designs wow.
Mai, you're cool with your shield and all. But also, what the fuck the black wave was kind of weird. It didn't seem to have too much of an actual impact against the monster thing.....
A sword??? A weird eye symbol??? Kagutsuchi, A CHILD????? (sounds like this Child is infamous maybe)
I DIDN'T EXPECT A FLASHBACK omg (guardian angel omg)
"If you choose to fight, you'll have to risk the one thing that's most important to you." THIS IS SOME KYUBEY SHIT RIGHT HERE I'M BETTING, contract contract contract
I mean, Mai, thinks its her life she's going to be risking, but, WHAT IF ITS NOT. ...I bet she just put Takumi on the line. Or something fucked up
Nagi stop being likable, youre weirdly cute. Poor Natsuki, well, maybe if you did a better job of persuading people that didn't involve threatening them and/or being rude, maybe girls would listen to you. But nope! Mai's totally taking this up.
YOOOO, KAGATSUCHI IS LOOKING GREAT. HES BIGG. WHAT A GOOD DRAGON THING YOU ARE. omg its cute, its so cute, clicking and wailing and fin waggling, youre killing me here. (kind of weirdly whale sounding but that's ok)
welp. ok shows over, everybody just died. Not really, but damn, these things really really really don't care about collateral damage huh.
FUCKING SHIT ON A STICK, THATS A LOT OF BURNING FOREST
Suzuhiro, eh? I call minor antagonist right now.
omg the art student...
OMG STUDENT COUNCIL PRES AND NATSUKI. Knew she was in on it, but didn't think it'd be a thing this early. Or on Natsuki's side.
Oh wait, so she isn't? Natsuki doesn't seem to think so about Shizuru huh. (childhood friends, girlfriends, siblings...?) I bet she still is in on it but is hiding it then.
Kanzaki got ladies swooning, while normal dude is ... normal. Welp. Also headmaster is probably in on the conspiracy too. (not much of a conspiracy with all this obvious chaos lol)
Headmaster's a LADY? also huh. I thought vice-pres was the other love interest. But he's with the pres? (wow amazing I was about to say I shipped it lol. they are both way chill and its hilarious)
Wait, pausing, we're at the fancy house, Is the headmaster the wheelchair girl? THats my guess before I see them. ...I see the maid~ Am I right~
And Mikoto lives with the headmaster too??? HOLY SHIT I GUESSED RIGHT. IT IS WHEELCHAIR GIRL/MASHIRO. (Mikoto doesn't seem to like her despite being there hmmmmm~ suspicious)
An ulterior motive huh...Because she's a HiME? How do they tell these things???? It didn't start on the boat??? Is this a proximity thing? Inherited from her dead mom??? What????
HOLD ON... THe beast/monster is an Orphan. Mai has a Child like all HiMEs. Holy crap, are the Orphans from dead HiMEs?????????
So they're from another world, and HiME's are maidens under the guidance of a certain star. It's the same place isn't it. (that might be wrong oops.) Also Nagi camo with some creepy red eye rocks.
BATH FANSERVICE
Headmaster is Mikoto's guardian, she has a grandfather, and looking for her older brother. HMMM.....is Vice-Pres her brother? He's got a similar color scheme, and Mai said something about him having an older brother feel.....
Mai....the bentos.....they loook gooooddddd......Oh shit, Mikoto's in middle school? Is that her age? THats...a little weird, but whatever.
AOI, NO. she continues to be untrustworthy around middle-schoolers maybe.
But a cool episode.
I continue to love the ending song, especially the lead-up tune, it's so dope~~~
Also, there was no yuri kissing, what is this lying bullshit. But I did see some tentacles in the afterpart...That was very stangely hentai-esque.
