Otakuism

Wow, now that was a tearjerker. Since Mai’s story is now done, I understand it a lot better now than I did in the toei version. I like Mai herself a lot more also, as compared to toei’s version, where the messed up story meant I never understood her fully. At first you think Mai just has no emotions, but then after watching her you realize she’s actually a very emotional person with her own (very cute) reactions. It wasn’t that she didn’t have emotions, but she didn’t know how to express them, leading her to either not say anything or act in a childish manner. Add in the tragic Mother illness and being abused by others for her powers, and you see why Mai is such a lonely person. Only the help of Sayuri and Yuuichi managed to get Mai to show her emotions, both through befriending her and getting her to accept her apparent powers.

On Mai’s powers, their the usual Key fair, or I guess Key started that fair here, of being extremely vague and extremely powerful. Let’s see, Mai can cure people through her tears, manifest demons to destroy everything, and summon a loli version of herself. Pretty damn neat. I wonder if it’s her powers that stop her skirt from ever flying up, even when falling down. It baffles me. Now that Mai’s story is over were moving straight into Shiori’s, which means more Kaori goodness for me. Shiori is pretty plain, but her sister is just hawt. I wonder if later in the series we’ll see the ” Mai and Sayuri go have a lesbian wedding in Europe ” ending. And that probably only makes since if you’ve seen the toei Kazahana special.

Someone at Kyoani sure knows their headtrips.

These aren’t tears! It’s just raining…inside my room.

Pink bunny ears can solve any problem.

BAD END: Take Ciel-Sensei’s Lesson?
