Just finished watching it pretty good stuff, sucks it went by so fast.

Spoiler for 01:

It felt kind of rushed at times as they tried to include a lot of the cast and what's happened to them a year later. Arika stopping that meteor was all kinds of awesome and Nina and Sergay's little cameo near the end was nice. Looking forward to next the one to see what exactly these shadow otome are.

[Sakuya]

Wow! I was not at all expecting this until tomorrow! I am excited! I take it people who preordered and bought online got it earlier while people in Japan need to wait until tomorrow?

For those who watched already, how was the OP song? And for the CD there, what is #3? Some sort of video segment with NetTV?

Episode 01 Screencaps and Summary

Spoiler:

I missed this show, and this episode gives me pretty much everything I liked about it, almost too much at times. It was a mad orgy of stuff that made Otome cool, and I loved it.

There was no OP and Believe was the ED.
#3 is audio commentary by Arika and Nina.

[dxanato]

I know going crazy to fact we go SS of zwei.

[Sakuya]

Spoiler:

I see now. The comet incident is not the main plot at all. -_-" Even though they advertised that for a lot of the scans. But I'm glad it's there to show off all the Otome in action again.

Finally, it's out!!!

Dear god, it's a cliffhanger.....

Gotta wait 3 months...

[aikming]

From the look of the screencaps, Can someone explain why sometimes arika changed into Rena's meister robe and sometime her pink robe???

Spoiler:

Arika's Robe is version 1.5. From there, she can upgrade to version 2.0 (Lena's Robe) by yelling "Souten." I think she needs Mashiro's permission first though. I think. At least from the scene there she does.

Yeah I agree it going to be long 3 month for me. It has way to many mysteries that need to be explain.

[Tokkan]

Yeah, like that mysterious winged shadow that looks abit like Fumi.

I would love for that to happen! I hope it is because

Spoiler:

Who else would steal the Pure White Diamond (Mashiro naru Kongouseki)? As well as bring down the Fumi System? And for Mashiro to be taken as well? AND the scythe?!

Another 2 month wait. T_T

Well there are a few Shadow version running loose. I wouldn't be shock if you are right. Which raise the question how many of the current Otome would be able to take on Fumi if she really is out and about.

Good Fumi vs. bad Fumi? That would be interesting. Does anyone agree that with the Otome doubles running around, it somehow feels like the Otome manga where HiME vs. Otome? It was what first came to my mind when those Otome became shadows.

[IchiKyo]

Thanks Sakuya.

Spoiler:

So that means no she can materialize to vs1.5 as she like. Or is it just another verification/kiss to upgrade?

Spoiler:

I finally watched it and this happens 2 times in this episode. When Arika first materializes, she changes into the 1.5 Robe. Then when she sees fit, she asks Mashiro for further certification by mouth, no need for kissing or contact. After that, Arika yells "Souten" and the 2.0 Robe appears.

[Tokkan]

Spoiler:

Irina brought up a map that showed the locations of Sara, Nao, Mahya, Akane, Arika and Natsuki while looking for Shizuru. It also showed the full names of their GEMS, but I could only make out that Sara's GEM is called "Milky Way Aquamarine", I can bearly read Mahya's GEM name.

[Jeffry2009]

No Erstin or Manshiro around. The "good" side is screwed. You DO remember, I hope, what happened when Arika and Nina tried to take on Fumi? As well as how Ers had to save their a$$es?
