Despite this mistake, I'm actually impressed by the lack of colouring and model continuity errors that the show has.

I never understood - and never will understand - the skint love for Maiko. I know that Zutara is "hot" and all, but Maiko is, too, and it's wonderful and silly and hilarious. I'll never understand the hate.

I would have liked more Maiko screentime, but at the same time, I still find myself accepting it. I would have liked more especially close to the finale - that is where I find the development sorely lacking - but also understand how impossible it was to add it.
