This episode kinda dropped in quality... everything from storypace and animation was just a tad bit worse than usual, and Arika's going into questionmode in front of Midori about Otome was just plain painful. Eugh
Interesting thou, so Tomoe do know that the one Shizuru is cruising after is Natsuki? Why else lie about her whereabouts?
I had like to believe that Shizuru is screwing Tomoe for information
Althou Shizuru's almighty gaydar might have tipped her off about what Tomoe where about to do, it would have been nice if the animators gave her a little more expressions during the act. -_- Why do the most obvious yuri scene be given the worst animation evah? Arika and Mashiro had more action going in the Jabbar than the Shiz/Tom.
