*ahem* Spoiler alert!
I love Mai-HiME. Great anime. My second favourite, only to Madlax. Mai-Otome was only okay. So, it's probably understandable that I completely forget that Zwei exists - with one mediocre episode every three months, how should I remember?
Episode 3 completely changed my opinion on the Mai-Otome storyline. Completely. I'll still laugh and be disappointed in everything up to this point, but - well, I'll just spoil it for everyone - the HiME star appeared.
Yes, THE HiME star as in the HiME star that threatened the end of the world in Mai HiME and caused all the HiME to kill each other. Yes, that HiME star. It's in the lab of Garderobe, where they're analyzing the statues, including Shizuru's. Meaning Natsuki knows that Shizuru's been turned into stone. And she quite obviously misses Shizuru too - what's the line - "I can't do things as well as you do, Shizuru" with a very far away look in her eyes. There's another piece of evidence for the subtext searchers. I'm more than convinced.
Then again, Shizuru x Natsuki has held a place in my fandom-insane heart since July, so I suppose that's part of the reason.
And then Fumi appeared. Fumi! You know - that Fumi! Shinso-sama! And then Fuuka appeared out of the water of a lake in the Black Valley! Y'know, this was hinted at when Miyu dove into some pool and activated the HiME system in the last episode or two of Mai-Otome, but they never developed it. Guess what, guys? They have no choice but to develop this one!
My only complaint? The next episode doesn't come out until the end of August. Well, damn!
