I didn't. My parents are always so paranoid about internet ordering. Plus I don't want to buy it if it's just 25 minutes.

I wish I could but it's too expensive and I've never ordered overseas. Judging from the collections thread, it looks like Rougeman_8 is the only one who buys Japanese DVDs here. Maybe he will get it early.

Well, I found this latest magazine scan of Lena and Sifr pic on an image board.

Thanks for posting the scans! I like the chibi Lena up in the corner. What's up with Lena having wings in this one? I wonder if she will really get wings in the show and not just something on the illustrations.

But yeah, international shipping is pretty expensive, even for something tiny. I was about to order 1 manga (yup, just one) that cost around $3 US on Amazon Japan. When I went to the international shipping rates page, the shipping was so much that my final price became $15, around there!

It might be that all Zwei Robes have optional wings in their 2.0 forms.

Sure seems like it, huh? Maybe the Zwei Robes are like "Goddess Robes" or something like that.

Sad but true. That's why I avoid buying small amount of cheap things - it's better to order bigger pack. For example, I just got my brand new Mai-HiME DVDs (yay, the collector's box rulez ^^) And if I bought one DVD, it would cost $22 (including shipping), but in a pack, each costs ~$17,7 which is great deal for me since (crappy) polish anime DVDs cost even $25 each.

Detail worthy of note is that Lena's gem is blue again, it seems like the turning of red to blue is going to be a part of the story.

[Sikon]

Maybe the GEM has some connection to the Administar (which is normally blue, but turns red under certain conditions)? If it was created for the Searrs/Sayers family in the first place, it makes certain sense. (Although this is, really, a lame attempt to justify my own fan theories, which S.ifr will probably throw out of the window anyway.)

[Same_Shark]

I just compared the pics of Una & the Columns and it seems I was wrong, Una is the Bewitching Smile Amethyst.

Does anybody know the planned number of episodes? I haven't heard how long each DVD will be but I hope they aren't as breif as Zwei's were.

There were originally supposed to be 3. Whether or not that has changed, we don't know.

Yup, it is definitely still 3 episodes, one on each DVD. Says so on the main page of the official site under Sifr.

I have, but not from amazon. It's shipped yesterday and most probably I'll get it tomorrow

Postage of amazon is based on quantity not weight. So if you buy heavy items like artbooks, it's good to use amazon. However, if you buy DVD or CD, I would recommend Clubjapan. No shipping fee and tax, they only charge 5% handling fee. Another choice would be Neowing. Their items have discount and you earn points for each purchase which can be used as money for later order.

Can you guys say to me 'Don't get too emotion & overreact. it's just an anime show. not real life.', please? I don't want let this thing happened to me just like a Mai otome & the IdolM@ster did after i watched the prequel of mai otome.

[Leonhart]

Seems vol 1 already released in raws...

[AceMan]

Yup, it is.

So that means I have to retreat from this forum until decent subs are out...

There's actually no seeds on the torrent though. As for where this torrent I mentioned is, I won't say due to the rules but if you're knowledgeable enough you'll find it.

[solomonster007]

Now... Sifr RAW ready for download in torrent site

WOW

[ThoHell]

WOW.... impressive first episode.

Spoiler:

So it seems like this is a prequel and is based on Arika (could be wrong, just what I'm guessing from seeing the characters). Rena (I think that's he name), is one bad ass otome with over whelming power but still unstable, she seems disgusted with her powers. Though Arika and her share the same power, Rena makes it look way more powerful and she hasn't even awaken her full power yet. Rena makes everyone around her look so weak in terms of power, even her successors. SHE EVEN GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD AT POINT BLANK RANGE! But I guess since she has her robe on (even though not on her head) it protected her brains from being blown out, thought it still looked painful from her eyes but she shook it off.

The princess seems to be like a combination of Mai and Arika mixed, she seems to be on the hit list of both enemies and suppose good guys/allies. Not sure why everyone is after her, but I'm guessing she's going to become Rena's master soon.

Kinda sucks in a way though. It seems like our story (mainly referring to the otome series) will never be focusing on Mai. Was hoping to see Mai kick more ass, but it seems her character is a minor character in the otome series. But besides that, our main heroines are pretty awesome.

Anyways good episode. Lesbianism + ecchiness + comedy + action....going good so far, looking forward to the next episode!
