Though part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop when the villains of said shows appear and start some kind of convoluted tournament-to-the-death-of-loved-ones. Wonder if they would potentially end up with the Order of the Black Rose with their special brand of magic.

I must admit to a mild tinge of disappointment that Shizuru's weapon didn't morph into the bladed whip seen in the anime - but that seems like the sort of thing that would be harder to use in the confined space then the naginata in the first place.
