Mai-Otome 08

Now that Natsuki’s bong has been found, she and Shizuru start to make preparations as other druggies fractions begin to make their move towards it. The source of half their troubles, Arika, has been punished by making her learn the finer arts of Janitor-Ken while cleaning Fumi’s memorial site. The other girls drop by to see a hot and sweaty Arika in all her underaged glory, also offering useless help and good food.
Arika is later at the library trying to figure out how to break the contract, as Mashiro’s nightly S&M sessions are starting to take a toll on Arika’s body. In comes Shizuru, swooning girls left and right, as she pimps her game to Arika easily finding the truth about what happened the day before. In the background Tomoe looks on longingly wishing she was Arika instead…
In the evening, Arika runs into her longtime childhood friend slash potential love interest Miyu (along with her emergency food rations, Alyssa). The two catch up on old times until Mashiro rudely interrupts the two; she’s here because she can’t sleep without her Arika hug pillow. Actually, the two are still stuck to the contract without any ideas what to do next. Arika and Mashiro run into some luck, however, as Miyu apparently makes an excellent jewel thief, taking out the GEMs neither of the two could do themselves. Unfortunately the contract is still in effect and left with little choice, Arika must now turn to a life of crime to be free.
The next evening she gets the rest of the Arika-gumi to help her sneak into Fumi’s memorial site, which also doubles as the school’s database library, graveyard, and emergency brothel. The group, after overcoming many obstacles the cheap security system, make their way into Nagi’s personal porn library the school’s database system only to be denied access since no one is a l33t h0×0r. Luckily they do find the room with grave markings of past Otomes, which is also Miss Maria’s hiding place when she loses confidence in her sex appeal. Miss Maria gives the youngin’s an history lesson involving her ex-lover Monica and some cock-and-bull question about fighting friends. Arika gives the secret third choice answer correctly, but then Miss Maria notices Arika’s GEM is gone so…
…the Arika-gumi are punished by cleaning up Fumi’s memorial site of the mess Mai did that one time she got hammered when she used to be an student there. And if life can’t get any more fun for Arika, her chain-and-ball lover Master decides to drop by to yell at her again!
Oh yea, evil bad guys are revealed and Midori is apparently the ring leader of the group. Rip off Char mask included. Go fig.
Good episode that setup a lot of potential plot. I just needed more Miyu and Midori to make the episode even better. Speaking of Midori, I’m sourly hoping when her group engages the Otomes, Midori will have a kick arse “evil villian speech” ready to say! Even if Midori is evil, she just wouldn’t be Midori without some over-the-top monologue speech!

“my popularity… is rising?!?!”

“learning Janitor-Ken was a bad idea afterall”

“same time next week Daddy for my ‘Special Little Girl Kiss’? *giggles*”

“apparently the uniforms double as vacuum sealed containers for food”

“I knew I shouldn’t have used hemp for the tubing material!”

“no… this isn’t the newest issue of Yuri Otome featuring fanfictions of you and Natsuki *whistles innocently*”

“Shizuru’s yuri powers harem grows day by day”

“that fictional story… all true. You wouldn’t believe how much of a wildcat Natsuki is in bed”

“Suigin Tou plans for revenge”

“you wouldn’t believe how many days it took Miyu to perfect her dark mysterious entrance”

“A-HA! I always knew Nina was a Nao fangirl!”

“*thinking* please let them not see the photo please let them not see the photo please let them not…”

“how much you wanna bet Miyu is naked underneath the coat?”

“mmmmhmmmm… chicken nugget…”

“Arika’s great great great great grandfather was Gohan”

“who dare steals my potential make out session with Arika?!”

“just like a monkey”

“…’make out session’…. Arika’s mine damn it!”

“If only I could attract as many women as Arika does”

“Jewelry is a girl’s best friend; Miyu is no exception”

“Irina if you don’t close that mouth, Alyssa might make a nest there”

“raise your hand if you want to have a threesome with Arika and Nina”

“ninja master Arika is not”

“… but but I traded nude photos of Nina for this cool ninja scarf!”

“you honestly don’t want to know what else that key could be used for”

“HA! Nagi does play for the other team afterall!”

“so which love motel is good for you?”

“Nina found out Nao bought those nude shots of her”

“*gasp* could it be…”

“… the forbidden Gundam SEED Destiny scripts?!?!”

“come on, pull my finger… ppplllleeeeaasssseeeeeee”

“having Neon Genesis Evangelion flashbacks”

“You’re My Bitch Tonight Smile ™”

“look just because I said Sakomizu had more sex appeal than you doesn’t mean you have to pull my ear!”

“*hears her punishment* wait… can I even fit that many?!?”

“Arika stood up her date with Mashiro”

“and training in Janitor-Ken continues”

“()#*$*@#& whoever this Mai person is… I swear if I ever meet her…*#8*ER&*(”

“doesn’t the guy look like he’s about to take a massive big one?”

“ooohh there will definitely be revenge for making me wear this mask! I wanted it in red gosh darn it!”

Noooo!!! That’s cruel and unusual punishment! Esp for Midori-sensei!
> “… the forbidden Gundam SEED Destiny scripts?!?!”
Methinks the GSD script could fit on the back of an envelope. And Shinn’s character development prob got scraffed by a coffee stain. LOL.
> “having Neon Genesis Evangelion flashbacks”
Yes, but Arika is smart enough not to sit on the Folding Chair of Despair!
