Debochin sugeEEEEEE!

The return of Haruka. It's been a while..
I think a lot of her fans are pleased with the fact that she's been bestowed some super powers this time around (preview shows she sure is). On the other hand, poor Yukino may never get the chance to prove she's very useful, but at least she's got a title and some snazzy threads. Good for her.

I also think their relationship in Mai Otome might be interesting after all, seeing as the roles are rather switched with Haruka being the one in servitude to Yukino, so things are indeed sorta different. Even Haruka's personality is rather altered from her Mai Hime one.. even though she's still at Shizuru's throat, but who wanted that to change? Everyone needs a rival -- Arika has Nina, Shizuru has Haruka, and Natsuki has the mysterious "her"..

..it's gotta be Midori. Right? Right.

But enough about that, onward with a quick, disconnected rundown of the ep..

So what do you do with two people that mere hours ago were trying to kill each other in a giant arena in front of hundreds of onlookers? Make them roommates, of course! And turn it into a sitcom. Natsuki comes up with the best ideas.

Natsuki: your life is attached to your master. if you die, they die as well.
*gasp!*
Natsuki: oh, and.. your powers go away with semen..
..what kind of bullshit..?

Tomoe is probably the most suspicious character in the show so far (except maybe after Irina. I've got my eye on you...). But it's odd because so far, she doesn't seem like a bad person. But of course, most double-crossing characters usually don't seem bad in the beginning. ..either way, I rather like her, and am interested in finding out what will become of her, whether it be for better or worse

I think I was going to say something else about Erstin, but maybe I'll save it for later. I'm sure there'll be plenty of time to address it..
But there is one thing about her that I must say that probably cannot wait:
God, that name sucks. I mean, seriously, Sunrise. Seriously..

..And we end the episode with someone stealing Arika's clothes from the laundry room.

...dude, that totally happened to me on campus at least.. twice.
