Dendoh seems to like to hide some of his work. There are 2 more Otome Mai
artwork that appears to be not so obvious to find on his website such as this
one:
Its the same as the other one I posted (currently) on page 4 here in this Group
Page except the only thing different is the background color.
And here is what it appears to be fanart that is close to looking like its
actually official art. I think this image would make a nice subject for a
wallpaper design.
I enjoyed this episode alot.
-Lots of confrontational action --several one on one battles and a one vs 4
enemy battle. (so not fair!) Some of the fights were one of the best fight
scenes I have seen from this series.
-There are three obvious My Hime connections/references that I saw. I loved
it!
-Mikoto cat has multiplied! You can tell which Mikoto is which by looking at its
forehead. I wonder if the symbols mean something?
-Two girls go ballistic in this episode. Tomoe, who almost dresses like a gundam
mecha, goes crazy evilness mode and Nina is in one hell of a pissed off mood you
would have to see to believe!
-Sergey seems to have nine lives like a cat. He's getting a bit aggressive in
his missions. He better be up to something good, because I'm not seeing alot of
it!
-About those new gems the girls have. I'm beginning to see what can happen if
they betrays Nagi's masterplans. I can imagine it leading to an early grave.
-Next episode will show a non shadowed Mai and Mikoto at last! I'm dying to know
what's up with this pair!
Well since my Spring Break starts today, I plan to rewatch all of the Mai Otome
episodes that has aired so far, just to see if I missed anything, and for some
character details. A little depressed that my Nina userpage design didn't
comeout how I wanted it to.
hello i'd like to join this group since i love both mai hime and otome, and btw
anyone have a pic of mai chan in her meister robe? 800x 600 or above is ok...
and yes, my fav char is mai as well as shiznats couple
about mai otome: i've reach episode 20 and i still not see any sign mai will
come out, i just hope she's not appear only just for 1 or 2 episodes
*sigh*
Quote by akiitosWell I got a new avatar
about Mai - Otome and I was wondering if any of you like it. Thanks to Truggy
for making it with me at his house lol
Its a very cute happy looking avatar! Is she one of your favorite
My Otome characters? I like her personality. Too bad she doesn't get alot of
screen time.
Quote by spoilerI think I know what Nagi
is thinking and based on what the old woman in one of the later episodes(can't
remember which one) told Sergey about the princess and the Sapphire of the Blue
Sky.
The connection with little Nina with that gold pod could be just there to fool
us into believing she could be the real Queen. There could be another piece of
the puzzle waiting to be added in connecton with the pod/sewer scene.
Personally, I can't imagine her being royalty, whereas, I can see the possibilty
in Arika. Its something about their personalities that makes me come up with
this thought. To gather all the clues on who's really who, I'll probably rewatch
all the episodes before the last 2 are released, which I hear will be shown back
to back in a 1 hour time slot on Mar 30th!
I don't know...
This is anime afterall.
I agree with you that Arika is more than likely the princess, but based on
Mikoto's words in 21 I have a feeling Nina is connected in some way.
favorite character of course is the main character, mai! but then again akane is
good as well. Mai's fixing to show up any time now in Mai-Otome as well. Gonna
break out some whoopin'!

Just saw 21. Another so-so episode, but things look like they will pick up in 22
and finally!
***21 Spoiler Alert***
Quote by spoilerI think I know what Nagi
is thinking and based on what the old woman in one of the later episodes(can't
remember which one) told Sergey about the princess and the Sapphire of the Blue
Sky, I don't think he's right about it. I'm speculating Nina is a certain
otome's daughter instead.
I haven't seen ep. 21 yet, but about the speculation I've seen so far, I reckon
Chie is spying for Ealis. She wanted to serve under General Armitage (Haruka) to
serve her home nation. And as Pearl #1, she's certainly good enough to become a
Meister without free gadgets like the fake Gem. And I doubt she's working for
Sergey, because he was surprised when Chie signed up, and she was snooping around behind trees, watching the
sign-up building.
And also, in the scene where she comments that the Trias room is empty (with
everyone gone somewhere), she gets busy writing a letter. Based on the inclusion
of this letter in the episode (Ep. 19, at about 13min 24sec), it's obvious that
it's significant to the plot (and was included as one of those small details
that the producers expect you to forget about). It's hard to tell what's written
on the letter, but the word Z.Hime. and Valkyrie, and the phrase "I'm going to..." are clearly written.
Based on that, I conclude that Chie is spying for Ealis ^_^
Quote by spoiler I think the one Chie is
visiting on the health-station (don't know the right english word) could be
Aoi-san. I don't know how she would have been rescued but I believe there is no
other one who is that important to Chie. Also no other one is seen to be heavy
injured else Aoi-san.
Quote by maybe spoiler? I noticed in one scene before
Chie is wearing the "evil" Otome outfit... It looks like she's talking
with someone with yellow spiky hair...
so I'm hoping that maybe she's just being a spy for Sergey or something...
*crosses fingers cuz she doesn't want Chie to be
evil*
Chie spying for Sergey? An interesting thought. I wonder if she is actually
working for anyone at all to achieve her goal. Maybe she has her own spies....
It seems obvious within the previous episodes and in ep 21 of her having a
hidden agenda ....hopefully, something good for the Good Side.
Chie being evil would probably be very scary. I can't imagine her going in that
direction on her own, but I shudder at the thought of the possibilty of her
being mind controlled in the future.
Quote by kyokujitsuOh wow, the new
walls are so cool ^_^ The new Otome revealed looks rather interesting. She looks
like Shizuru Thanks for pointing out the updated walls ^_^
And thanks for the Midori pic Cheza ^_^
I wish there would be walls of Otome with their elements though
~.~
I agree... she does kinda look like Shizuru! I wonder
when she'll show up? (Ain Lee?)
Hrm... I've seen some screencaps from the next episode...

Quote by spoilervery minor Ep 20 spoiler and Ep 21 non spoiler short summary/comments
Quote by XTeKOh I forgot to ask
***Episode 20 spoiler***
That gold pod certainly had significance to the story. Ep 21 elaborates more
about it but via Nagi's point of view. Though in my opinion, nothing is
confirmed on what Nagi is currently thinking on that event.
---------------------------Ep 21 -- a very good
episode----------------------------
---Starts off with Nina in some action in the Harmonium room follow by a triple
Mikoto connection. Those who have seen the raw or whenever the subs come out
would probably know what I mean by this.---Mashiro looks like she will turn out
to be a much better person thanks to Midori and other events she had been
involved in the past incidents we saw.--- Shiho is still funny as ever. I was
laughing in tears with the way Sunrise did her maki maki antics .
--- About Shizuru and Tomoe: I'm still waiting to find out what really happened
off camera from Ep 20! By the looks of it, Shizuru is going along with the flow
and most likely waiting for a chance to resolve her situation --- Chie gets more
screentime. I can't wait to find out what her true goals are. She is up to
something. --- Nao continues to pick on Natsuki---Other nations are starting to
plot their next move. We are beginning to see who else could be allies to the
good guys--Tomoe continues to be a Nagi lapdog. Looks she has completed another
mission---Sergey is still supporting Nagi and ready to begin an attack against
certain good guys, though I have a definite feeling he's up to something not
beneficial to his Lord. -
---from Ep 22 preview: Looks like its going to be action packed. And it appears
we may see the character that alot of fans of the show have been waiting for.

of Midori from Mai HiME.
ooh, I haven't seen that pic for some time. Reminds me of Xmas and it looks like
another of Hisayuki's older works. And speaking of the artist, he has updated
his gallery with more illustrations. This is one of three new art:
Quote by spoileranyone else notice a
certain gold pod thing which looks alot like the one from the first episode
during the Nina/Sergey flashback? I wonder if that has any significance to the
story. It seemed like it was intentionally put there as a hint.
hmm...
OMG OMG OMG Evil evil Tomoe... The makers really know how to toy with our
emotions Along the lines of those below me, Tomoe should be burnt,
then dumped onto the streets, and attacked by thugs in such a way that she loses
her wannabe Otome powers
Quote by Spoiler ep. 20Fia is so cool ^_^ I was
disappointed that there wasn't too much of her though. But I was delighted to
recognise her weapon, the lance with the star-shaped blade. It was the weapon
that Meister Monica Julen had, back in a short flashback in episode 8, when
they're remembering the Otome that were forced to fight in the Dragon King War
^_^
Quote by XTeKTamoe that explicit little
explicit! A torching's too good for her.
Anyway 20 was an alright episode, a little boring at points though. Haruka slays
me.
You're right. Forget the torching. Natsuki needs to come storming in with her
guns, hang Tomoe up somewhere and use her for target practice. And then its
Miya's turn to get back at Tomoe. She will then...., oh wait, I better stop
here. I'm starting to feel sorry for that green haired girl....
And yeah, a so-so episode in some parts. To make it a bit exciting, check out
these screen caps with joke captions. I find the ep 21 preview ones to be
hilarious
WARNING- Contains a few SPOILER-ISH PICS FOR EP
20.
Note for Shizuru/Natsuki fans-Click on the 2nd sceencap-last row for an
additional caption.

I finally got around to reading My Otome manga ch 07 which I find to be one of
the funniest chapters. And yes indeed, Nao is truly rules in this segment. Its
so like her to do what she did in the story. Poor Mashiro

would be officially annouced during the summer for a possible Fall/Winter 2006
release.

A warm welcome to blackchii! Well, here's an image that UltraMarine posted in the guestbook awhile back of Mai in her Meister Robe...

episode about erstin is sooo depressing too
My favorite character used to be Nina but recently shes been how to put this delicately umm a whiny selfish brat.
***(spoiler)***
I think that Arika is the princess and with the whole pod thing they are just trying to make you think Nina is the princess
We've got another group of new members minna-san! Let's give a warm welcome to bwong, kenjibr, Wiggle7hv, and jr_naruto2000!
I don't know... This is anime afterall.
I agree with you that Arika is more than likely the princess, but based on Mikoto's words in 21 I have a feeling Nina is connected in some way.
favorite character of course is the main character, mai! but then again akane is good as well. Mai's fixing to show up any time now in Mai-Otome as well. Gonna break out some whoopin'!
Its a very cute happy looking avatar! Is she one of your favorite
