Picture 32 seems to be depicting the art of cat-on-head kung-fu. I’m disappointed it wasn’t captioned as such.

DiGiKerot: I wasn’t really intending that statement to be taken too seriously, although on the topic of “who’s the daughter” there was a side shot where Sifr looked a lot like Nina so until Sunrise decides “it was Mashiro after all” that’s what I’m sticking with.

IKnight: I couldn’t resist ;p

TheBigN: I’m actually in agreement here; action scenes aside, Zwei never did much for me, but I sat through this episode thinking “hmm, this isn’t so bad actually”. Unless we’ve just experienced so much Mai-Otome that it doesn’t seem so bad anymore?

“Bruce decides to indulge in a spot of power-throwing.”

That couple with the picture was my favorite part of the post. These posts are always worthwhile, though it does look like ~S.ifr~ could end up being much better than what Zwei turned out to be. :3

Oh man, Strictly Come Dancing. I thought Phone Yuri was funny, and then you had to hit me with that.

“Could it be that Sifr was inspired to name her daughter Nina after rescuing this cat?”

If Nina is the true princess of Windbloom (and, at this point, I’m not entirely certain they aren’t going to retcon this – there’s stuff in this episode to suggest that it could be any one of Mashiro, Nina or Arika), then surely Sifr actually named her daughter Mashiro, the name which was later adopted by the “fake” princess we saw in the TV version.

I’d presume Nina got given that name either by the organisation who’d picked up her capsule, or by Sergay – in either case, they’d know nothing of the cat.

This OAV just makes the whole name thing even more confusing ^^;
