Is there any explicit information anywhere about just when Natsuki and her mom fell off that cliff? I vaguely remember some flowers being involved in an earlier episode of the anime, but the anime calendar isn’t all that explicit either (or logical half the time).
She went to go leave flowers at the beginning of the beach episode, so right before the finals before the summer.
(Which episode is the beach episode? ^_^;) If you say right before summer break, which is in the middle of their school year, I guess that’s “midterms” or something. That gives me a good ballpark idea, so thanks. ^_^
It’s the 9th episode, so right before the summer break before Mai is working as a lifeguard.
Excellent! Thanks again. :D
(Correction: Semester/trimester finals before summer break, so that’s right; the school year ends at the end of December.)
Then I guess the ending of Mai HiME makes more sense since they don’t really seem to have a winter with snow and such. I always thought that the graduation was in March.
