elfsI watched Mai HiME episode 10 last night in bed on my laptop, and my main reaction is that it seemed a bit rushed. The whole gag, a re-test for those who failed home economics held as an Iron Chef competition (I fully expected Midori to shout "Kono themo wa kore desu! Ke-ki!"), seemed forced, as if the writers had had a bad day for ideas.
On the other hand, we now have a seventh HiME, "Secret Ninja and her Hell Toad." There is no way we're gonna be introduced to six more in the next three episodes and care about them. And I'll be damned if Mai, Mikoto, and Natsuki haven't got the routine down: oufan shows up, Mikoto stuns it with a first blow from Miroko, Natsuki pins it with Duran's ice attack, and Mai summons Kagutsuchi who proceeds to make charbroiled mincemeat out of the immobilized oufan. Once the monster is identified, those three have takedown more or less routinized.
Hands up, people: who really wanted to see the bitchfight between Natsuki and Nao go down?
I'm betting Fumi is the anti-Miyu.
I'm hoping this goes to 26 episodes. I'm hoping Yukino is a HiME, and Haruka is not. I'm hoping this gets picked up and licensed; I'd love to have a commercial copy. My home-made DVDs are fine, but they're third-generation copies, after the initial on-air pull, the fansubbing, and the DVD transcoding.
