My Otome DVD omake special #4 (raw version) is out. Its a Shiho special, so of
course its all comedy. Basically, it shows the little troublemaker was not just
sitting around in a tent during the Coral's survival test. Since she was not
thrill to be left behind to watch over the main camp, she turns to her maki maki
voodoo thing and we all know what she uses it for.
And heres a blog site where somebody is making fun of Shiho's makimaki weirdness
based on ep 21. I had a good laugh out of it.

Welcome to the group gaidin!
So you're a Miyu fan? I like her too, though I like her role much better in My
Otome. She seems undefeatable and pulls quite a few amazing moves that proves
how strong and agile she really is.
Yo!
I'd love to join the Mai-HiME fan group!
My favorite character is probably Miyu (both in HiME and Otome though she had
far too little screen time in Mai Otome) since she pretty much can't be beat and
isn't bogged down with all the drama. I can't get enough of the the OSTs for
both series either...so here I am!
i heard the OVA itself will focusing on the past, sure fun to see what mai and
natsuki is doing when they're still an coral otome.
and yes i agree the manga version is more detailed in storytelling, but damn my
connection speed is just soooo sloww.. the download took forever
well, each manga and anime version certainly have their own charm
*spoiler?*
anyway, the last 4 episode is the best IMO.. lots of battles between all the
otomes, though i can't see many of them engage in more intense/close up battle
like one on one fight.. personally i wish to see more underappreciate character
like Ein, Rosaly, etc have more room for their roles, but yeah i guess that's
that... i can't even see rosaly's robe in detail! everything too darn fast..
best scene ever: when arika destroyed the breeder tank containing rena, so
touching and depressing... overflowing with tears i tell you *sniff*
worst scene ever: sergey still alive, damn it.. (c'mon nina, shake him off from
your life already)
Quote by blackchiii know it's late but
finally i've watched mai otome's ending and can't say i like it (that damn
sergey is not dead yet.. heh heh) and thought i can see mai in more action
*sigh*
i think i need to read the manga since i think the anime version is a little bit
rushed
Though I agreed the final episode seemed rushed, I'm glad it did not take the
enjoyment I have for the entire series. I believe they did a good job handlng
the Arika's, Nina's and Mashiro's endings. We get the idea of what their future
will lead them to.
I recommend the My Otome manga. (Currently, up to ch 11 is scanlated) I feel it
has much more of a dramatic storyline than the anime and there are quite a few
twists here and there that may (or may not) make you eager for the next
chapters. Judging from scans of the most recent chapters (now up to ch35) and
their brief summaries I"ve been keeping up with, the story continues to
kick ass and bringing in a few surprises like this one:
Ch35 Page 20 (Natsuki fans will probably like this one) Image contains a MAJOR SPOILER.
Like the anime was hinting on their own, I see (manga) Hime references that may
actually be a real connection to the the manga Otome world. Or it could be just
the writer recycling Hime elements into the Otome manga.

Quote by XTeKRead Mai Otome 11 a little
while ago. The story gets really interesting with a little Nina surprise at the
end.
*looks at the Nina surpise at the end.*
I think I prefer the Nina's anime version for now.

I got my copy of the official US version of My Hime DVD Collector's ED today and
I was most curious about how well the english dubbing was. It wasn't so bad.
Most of the voices go well with the characters, and some got me in need of ear
plugs. I been so used to the japanese version that it took me 3 episodes to get
used to the new voices. Here are sample audio clips from ep 1 that I found at
the AnimeOnDVD forums posted by B-Rad Lascelle.
Collector's edition comes with a black Fuka Academy T-shirt. Though it was a
nice addition, its not something I plan to wear around town. Not much special
features in this DVD other than the first 4 omakes where one comes right after
each episode. Other extras is a short promo clip, 3 Trailers featuring other
series, and a credits list.
I got my copy in the mail the
other day. I haven't had a chance to watch the DVD yet though. I thought the
t-shirt was a nice addition too. I'll probably wear it to some anime-related
events in the near future like club meetings or a convention.

version of ep 26 is out for My Otome. Like they promised, they added a special
bonus at the end. Its info on the Otome characters and the meaning of their
gems. It was interesting to know that the gems they wear reflect their
personalities and life roles.
Really? Man... now I'm
wishing that my cousin had waited to get that version... It would be interesting
to see how the gems related to the Otome!

And the official site has updated their page with new character updates,
merchandise goods, etc.
The most interesting to me are the 5 Columns. You can see the Roman numerals on
their meister outfits. For some reason, I always thoughts Nao would be #5. She's
actually #4.

Quote by XTeK 'Mezame' and 'Kokuyou no Kimi
~Amai Yuuwaku~' are like my two favorites from the hime osts, and 'Chiisana
Hoshi ga Oriru Toki' (on the 'Shining Days' OP) is my favorite song played in
the series.
I'd definitely agree with you there!
"Mezame" is my favorite song from the Mai HiME OST, followed closely
by "Mata Aou Ne" and "Tokiiro No Mai".
Ah, I'd love to join this group too! X3
My favorite Mai HiME character is Natsuki (ShizNat is <3) and my favorite Mai
Otome character is Nina. Dozo yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
I don't really know why but 'Otome no Komoriuta' seems to be my favorite from
the Otome osts. I listen to alot more than I've really noticed. My second fav.
is 'Shukuteki' followed by 'Materialize.' Personally I liked the HiME osts more.

"Sei Otome no Inori" is one of my top 3 favorite tracks from the 2
OSTs. ("Materialize" is #1). I
had wished the series played that song more often. I think they used it only 2
times.
"Makenai Kokoro - Orenai Tsubasa" somewhat reminds me more of Lord of
the Rings. To me, that track has that "epic" feeling to my ears.
Quote by fireflywishes
Speaking of situations... the "controversial" scene between Nina and
Sergey-- actually wasn't as bad as I was led to believe from reading other
threads on the topic.
With the rest of that scene going offscreen, Sunrise ended up stringing most of
us along to believe the obvious. Then, they waited til the last episode to
reveal the outcome. The creators seem to love messing with our heads. I'm
still wondering about what Shiruru was really doing with Tomoe while locked up
in the room.
Okay, I may be late, but oh wells. I finally got caught up ad finished the
anime. I actually didn't find the ending all that bad... It just felt a tad
rushed... A much better ending than Mai HiME though (imho). Hopefully the OVAs
will clear up/clarify some of the situations...

Ending recap: after seeing the whole thing... Midori remained as one of my
favorite characters... I nope that one of the OVAs talks about the history of
Aswad!
Quote by blackchiihmmm a kinda late
question, but how about the mai hime in PS2? any good? i'm thinking to get one
but it seems already pretty rare
Yeah, i heard it's very good, with a cute original character. But the game is
like a rpg, so if you don't speak japanese, it's kinda impossible to understand
the game...

Quote by UltraMarineI read up some
fan reaction to the game. I hear the battles are so-so and bland though the mini
games are the highlight of the game. I don't have a PSP yet, but if I hear good
things about the sequel, I just might consider getting a PSP alot sooner than I
intend to.
The best mini games in this first ep is the "Do Natsuki make sexy poses to
stop a car" (and there's also a ddr-like ^^)

I don't know if you know that, but a Mai HiME game is out for the psp too
It's called "Mai HiME Bakuretsu!", it's a 3d fighting game featuring 8
characters (Mai, Mikoto, Natsuki, Midori, Akane, Akira, Nao and Miyu). The game
follows the anime, and there are lot of scene from the anime. I've ordered it
(and
a sequel is coming end of this month with the others HiME)

Lol, and is it just me or do the first 3 or so notes of "Makenai Kokoro - Orenai Tsubasa" remind anyone of Harry Potter?

The original PS2 game is probably hard to find now, but a greatest hit version is easier to find.
