ceruseeEpisode 6:
--In which Midori is a waitress, a history teacher, a construction worker, and a Sailor Senshi. Keep your ears open for the love and justice speech. Also, please note that she took the time to change back into her waitress uniform before attacking the Orphan.
--I feel bad for Mai in the scene with Shiho. It's clear at this point that she and Tate are interested in each other, but they're still in that stage where they're too uncertain to take steps to do anything about it. Thus, when Shiho, who knows that she wants Tate, begs her to leave Tate alone, Mai's stuck with two bad choices: refusing to honor Shiho's wishes, which means alienating a friend over a guy she's not actually involved with, or swearing off pursuit of Tate, even though she's attracted to him.
She takes the easy way out. Naturally, that's going to bite her in the ass, but it's not clear that honesty would have served her any better in the long run; Shiho is very stubborn.
Episode 7:
--HiMEs gone wild! Now, guys falling for Nao's act, I can vaguely understand, but how much of a pedophile do you have to be to take Mikoto up on that pick-up line?
--Midori makes everything better. Then she pukes all over Nao. The only way that could have been funnier is if it'd been Natsuki.
--Note that Mai is already feeling the strain of being Mikoto's self-appointed babysitter, and Mikoto feels babied. Although in Mai's defense, Mikoto's inability to take care of herself does sort of invite the kind of parental treatment Mai gives her.
--OMFG. They really do foreshadow everything. Nagi, you utter fucking bastard.
