I’m becoming more and more convinced that Aoi is really the ranking government official in Windbloom since it seems that she supervises Mashiro on Procurement (castle repairs) and Foreign Affairs. Really the most politically powerful maid in animedom. A good mix of humour and plot development though I really only had one LOL moment when there was a tingle sound effect to accompany Shizuru giving Akira the once over and second glance. Also good to see that Takumi still has sis-con.
Looks like Otomes giving up love and going bonkers is going to be a big theme especially in the next episode. Obviously part of the solution would be to tweak the selection criteria towards girls with Shizuru and Natsuki’s sexual orientation. Heheh. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH…
And just where are we going to get an unrefined bonehead to impersonate Mashiro-sama?
Has Chie lost her mojo!? Aoi just laughed off her words about Aoi’s wish being her command and then told her to keep these kind of antics within Gaulderobe (where they’ll be effective only on naive juniors?). Just loved the way Chie blinked repeatedly in surprise after Aoi put her spectacles on her. I still think they’d make a lovely couple and Chie really does seem less flippant about her.

Well, Kurogane has already made a comparison between ORB and Zipang.

Nina givin’ Arika some elbow-lurvin’. Methinks this might become a habit. LOL.
Awww! So cute! You can see why Arika and Nina remind Natsuki of Mai and herself.
That bit about Aoi and Chie - I think that the leftmost figure under the lamppost, in the picture, might be her. She’s been there for that long?
Uh…no.
Chie is younger than Natsuki and Shizuru….that person in the image is what the character designer, Hisayuki, does often…..recycle character designs.
Merry Xmas Zyl! Haha us AAA members received the best present of them all….and what you may ask? Well ASA WON! Haha…anyways have an awesome holiday!
>>Well, Kurogane has already made a comparison between ORB and Zipang.
Huh?!! Did I? LOL, seriously my Otome 12 entry was a speed entry, I was half packing my bags and typing at the same time, haha.
Lone Wolf, thanks for pointing out the Hisayuki tendency.
Problematic, many happy returns! Hope you get lots of sweet Christmas loot! All hail Shigure Asa senpai!!!
Kurogane, fast maximum returns from minimum efforts is precisely my own aspiration! =)
Aoi is voiced by one of my favorite seiyuus (Ryoko Shintani) if only because of Galaxy Angel, so I do hope we see much more of her. As for powerful maids, Fumi is pretty powerful too!
