LOL Ririka almost killed the old crew several times with her bad cooking when she was young. Obviously she learned better cooking from the airport chef.
Also I think I may have found another reason for Ririka separated from her husband besides raising Marika. Captain Kato was a lady killer. We get that Ririka and Misa were rivals for him but the fact he gave his ID ring to the princess cinches it. |

So...everything aside, we really really need a human, competent antagonist that can match Marika and keep her sweating.
Lightning 11 served nicely, got the heart pounding, and had the audience on the edge. While the next arc was a bit better, most of it was just Man vs. Nature rather than serious Man vs. Man, which ended a bit abrupt. What's going to be the main conflict for Vol 3.? All I have from the novel description is that they...recruit yacht club members for the ship. Oh. Please please please have Chiaki's dad be it. |

Marika could certainly learn about leadership from her(she certainly already has shown lots of potential and has done some pretty impressive things). Lynn probably keeps in contact with her for advice and for other reasons too. (Jenny's harem is still bigger than Marika's but Marika is gaining on her). So now Marika's harem has officially grown to four, and Gruelle is really starting to make herself a serious rival to Chiaki. Fight on, Chiaki! You have got to find a way to return to Marika before your "prince" winds up with a princess. So yeah, hoping Chiaki is there in the next episode and want more Jenny(I would love to see her in pirate uniform although she might be too classy for that). |

Grunhilde simply made The Number One Wasabi Mistakei: eating it.
Seriously, I've seen people in Japanese restaurants wonder what that green stuff is and then go choke on themselves when they take a spoonful of it, hence why the scene is so familiar to me. People don't often think of green food being spicy afterall

So, Ririka might get her own ship in the future.

Ah. I was under the assumption that "Hot Mustard" was a colloquial term for the thing, given how it looked (looks slightly greenish to me). Though the same psychology still applies

This episode made for a nice epilogue. It was good to learn a bit more about the Princesses' situation.
As expected, Grunhilde joined Marika's harem as well. That didn't take long. I hope Chiaki will come back soon, she's missed out on a lot of stuff. Hopefully, this isn't the end of Jenny either, her character has too much potential to simply be brushed aside.

Am I the only one who is glad that Serenity arc has come to an end? For some reason, I wasn't too interested in the political conflict or the ghost ship, though it was nice to see that Marika is slowly growing into a reliable captain.
Sigh, don't mind me. This is ALL Chiaki's fault. I miss her!

Really enjoyed this episode.
Heh, Ririka clearly now approves of Marika and Gurier's relationship. Though it looks like Marika might just end up in the middle of another love triangle between the sisters. Here is hoping that now Jenny is graduated, she really does become part of Marika's crew. Hopefully Chiaki returns soon, otherwise her captain might just be stolen by a couple of Princesses. I think that was in part pay back for Marika's deceiving her. Heh, Gurier really is becoming as devious as Marika.

I thought ep 13 was very ... well ... endearing.
Regarding Grunhilde taking a mouthful of hot mustard - I was reminded of when I went out to eat at a Japanese restaurant with some others in SoCal and one person who had never eaten or been exposed to that kind of cuisine saw this small lump of green paste on the table and said: "Oh look! Guacamole!" and before we could say or do anything scooped it all up in a spoon and ate the ENTIRE thing. Five minutes later when his senses had returned to him we explained how wasabi was most often used. Anyhoo ... ep 13 gets a 7/10 vote from me. Oh yes - the notion of the cyborg being a gym teacher at an all girls academy also made me lol.
