OMFG, Giant Cock Tease!!!! They made it seem like Mai was going to show up in this episode and now we have to wait another episode. Well, at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that Mikoto isn't a cat :)

Yukimura
Mon, 03-13-2006, 05:01 PM
Also where did all those Mikoto cats come from?

I think the scenes were shown out of chronological order. The cat falling on the roof of Natsuki's car prossibly means that Mashiro and Arika somehow ended up with them after the fighting.

Aoi bieng alive.... hmmmm, what a shocking turn of events [/sarcasm] but it's good that she can survive falling off of cliffs, maybe she's really an Otome. Props also to whoever called that the casket used to mess up Garderobe was Rena's.

Aeon
Mon, 03-13-2006, 11:51 PM
I thought something similar to that until I noticed that all of the Mikoto's have a different symbol on their heads.

It works and there are subs, but theres no opening karaoke.

Edit: Just saw the episode. There's a couple references to Mai HiME in this episode. Also at the preview.....................................

Sergey-everyone's favorite pedo :p

Sergey-everyone's favorite pedo :p

Yeah, that was a twisted scene. I suppose it wasn't totally unexpected, but still it wasn't necessary in any sense.

Well, it was a pleasant enough episode. At least Arika finally realised she sucks at fighting. Although considering they shouldn't have too much time to burn, I wonder how much she will be able to learn.

Aeon
Sun, 03-19-2006, 11:45 AM
The inconsistency of My Otome is annoying. The clearly stated that if a Meister suffers damage in battle that the person they formed an contract with would feel the damage also. Mashiro has only felt the pain from Arika's first battle and the one against the valkeryes. She should've pretty much been unconscious this ep. Also wouldn't it be hard for Mikoto to beat Mai since hitting Mai would be like hitting herself.

I wonder if the pedo really did her? Well, it was a good episode except there wasn't much Arika or Mai in it. I wonder what was in the giant safe Miyu pulled up? Im guessing next week, they are going to air 2 episodes right after another doing an hour special. Should be good!

Yukimura
Sun, 03-26-2006, 05:36 AM
So...Sergey is officially an dirty middle-aged man. So many of the girls in this show are in need of deep psychological help...Nina, Tomoe, Shiho, people who listen the Shiho...why are they being given so much power. Garderobe needs to administer a mental status test before admitting all these wacko's.

All the old HiME faces have now appeared, the grown up Alyssa being a pillar came out of left field, but I've been wondering who and where the others were, I figured the old lady and the nun/teacher were the other two till I saw the OP.
I wish this series didn't have to end, but it looks like they'll take it out with a real bang. PLEASE let Shizuru get her powers back and kick some Tomoe ass!!!!!!

Until next week!

Ryllharu
Sun, 03-26-2006, 08:18 AM
Where did you get the Alyssa being a Column/Pillar? There was 'Sarah Gallagher" who visited Haruka, (Nao, Shizuru, Natsuki, and the one with Akane are the others). There was a Miyu flashback that showed her through the window, but there was no indication she was a Pillar. The hair didn't match any of the Pillars, it looked like she was just an ordinary citizen.

Kraco
Sun, 03-26-2006, 08:26 AM
It was somehow strange what Sergey did to Nina (if he did it). I'm not sure it really was characteristic to his character. But wasn't Nina supposed to lose the otome powers if it really did happen? Or do I remember wrong...

It was predictable Nagi would manipulate Nina even with the braindead corpse of Sergey. And Nina apparently fell for it. Ironic, considering what Sergey was planning to do.

The next ep indeed looks promising. A real bang, like Yukimura said.

Tomoe got bitch slapped lol. She deserved it though. And Nina is not a virgin no more woot...

Edit: Alyssa isn't that Otome...The one in the red circle is Sarah Gallagher

Aeon
Sun, 03-26-2006, 07:01 PM
Tomoe did say that there was a way around Nina having to lose her powers if she was with Wong. Meh I was actually kinda happy Nagi finally shot him, it's only so much betrayal an evil dictator can take. This show needs more Nao, Shizuru, and Tomoe, their 1 or 2 scenes per ep is a let down. I'd ask for more Natsuki but she's no where as cool as she was in Hime.

Thanks for proving my point. They are two different people. Not only is her name different, their eyes are a different color. Alyssa's eyes are blue, just like the bird that bears her name.

I knew i'd seen Sarah's face somewhere, and I figured it was Alyssa in grown up form, but now I think she looks familiar b/c she has Yukino's face with differnet hair and eyes. Idk, not important, sorry I thought i was smart.

this is odd....they pointed out when otme suffers her master suffers too, and after all these episodes and battles the masters suffered so little?
and i remember in first episode or second, they say an otome loses her power (nanomachine?) if she had sex with male? then wut gonna happen with nina!? the supposely final boss loses her power before the last battle?!? :confused:

:D btw nina with her hair losen look so similar to Natsuki, i like it:D

Mon, 03-27-2006, 02:39 AM
Meh I was actually kinda happy Nagi finally shot him, it's only so much betrayal an evil dictator can take.

While I have nothing against Sergey getting shot, the way he was shot is cheap and unbelievable. According to his reminiscence he's a succesful sniper / assassin type soldier. And now not only was he almost suprised by some scientist but also a little kid (Nagi) who possible can't have any other experience than that of court life and manipulating people. Simply because he's so young.

They should have made Nagi bring a squad of soldiers to the place, who would have shot Sergey.

Well, you can't have everything, I suppose...

Fiss240
Mon, 03-27-2006, 02:48 AM
Well Nagi is a sly bastard, you got to give him props for bucking the typical bad guy trend of monologuing, someone finally shoots first and speaks later. Anyways I hope he gets a horrifically painful death next episode.

A Gift for all you jonesing fans. Mai-Otome DVD Special 3 - Juliet's Conspiricy (http://a.scarywater.net/doremi/%5BSS-Doremi%5D_Juliets_Conspiracy_Mai-Otome_DVD_Special_3_%5BAFF4AF17%5D.avi.torrent) Who is Juliet??? DL and find out!

Nagi is a huge ass, I hate that kid so much. Why is it that everytime there's a peaceful serene(ish) world some ahole with a God complex has to come along and ruin it. Albeit this formula generally leads to a cool story and everyone eventually being better off than they were, but it still sucks to watch poor Nina get lead around by a steel chain wrapped around her heart. I don't even like Nina, but I still feel bad about all this, and now Sergey's a vegetable too. So much pain, I hope Arika shoves her Big Blue Spear up that kids ass before the end.

I used to think it was Nina till her Meister robe was revealed. That and when Nina's daggers are combimed don't form a sword. I also thought it was Mikoto since she had a huge sword in Hime but she doesn't seem to be an otome so no clue as to who it is or if they'll show up next ep.

maybe the movie-trailer wasn't a fake:

The Ovas are based on ZHiME (Otome), not on HiME.

Saw that news yesterday as well.

With still 2 eps to see (in a 1hour special) we still have many lose ends.
Hopefully this Ova's will explain them.

Like Arika's connection with HiME's Alyssa.

Harima Kenji

It could be some kind of hybrid...That they show how the series are connected..
But I think it will be best to just wait for the end of Otome first..maybe thing's will reveal themselves..

Went to their channel said it was like a semi-private torrent that got un-privatized, idk. It's obviously not SS quality or anything, but I just wanna know what happened. Here it is if your like me Your Mom - Mai Otome 25 (http://www.datorrents.com/download.asp?id=8368&name=%5BYour-MomATirc.rizon.net%5D_Mai_Otome_-_25_%5B20053402%5D.avi.torrent)

EDIT: NOT and April Fools joke, I watched it, it's real.

MORE EDIT: So good, but they (Your-Mom) aren't done with the second ep, which I assume is why the other groups are behind. Lots of interesting stuff happens, but I think the end will be dissappointing, with not enough focus on the side charachters. Hope I'm wrong!!!

@ Aeon The mystery Otome is revealed in 26, if you must know who it is PM me.

For those of you who don't trust new groups here's Doremi - Mai Otome - 25 (http://a.scarywater.net/doremi/%5BDoremi-OTOME%5D.Mai-Otome.25.%5B25252525%5D.avi.torrent).

26 was pretty good, though its a HiME paced ending as many expected, blink and you miss it. My favorite part however was the last scene, with Nina and Sergey...Amnesiac Sergey and still-obsessed Nina alone in a secluded retreat, how can this possibly turn out.

All in all this series was good, I didn't mind not getting to see hardcore Otome battles every week, since the show was more about the people than the fights they had, Natsuki's gun was awesome however, and of course more of Shizuru's Ivy-Blade would have been great. But of course everything turned out well and good so yay. I just hope there's a spring Anime that can fill the Mai Otome's shoes out there.

Sun, 04-02-2006, 09:58 PM

so the ending is gonna be like hime's huh? super crazy fast pace!?:rolleyes:

It was a very nice ending. Too easy, though, for all of them. The enemies were getting their asses kicked without much fighting back. Suspense was quite nonexistent. And somehow I couldn't anymore see what Nagi's plan was, and why he kept all the time acting like everything was going according to his plans, when he in fact didn't seem to have any reasonable plan anymore. Well, maybe that was just his personality.

Although I'm not complaining, really. I was expecting an ending like this, and like Yukimura said, this series wasn't about battles, in the end.

And what happened to the princess' bold decision of building a better realm for the citizens? It seems to me all she wanted to build was a better castle for herself... Well, the royalty seems to have the priorities right: In a battle wrecked city, first finish your own stronghold, then see what can be done about the apartments for the rabble.

Ryllharu
Tue, 04-04-2006, 09:23 AM
In the ending montage, they showed Mashiro shaking hands with Midori, which I suppose was supposed to fulfill that promise the two of them made. It seemed implied that she was doing what she said she was going to. If it hadn't already been started, she was definitely going to get to it immediately after the last shot.

I was pretty happy with the last eps. There was a lot crammed in there. Otome does seem a bit like a parody of a couple other series. It's certainly a brighter series than Hime, even though basically no one died in either. Mimi and Erstin were really the only casualties of this series, but they really didn't seem to hit as hard as the "deaths" in Hime.

I really liked the reappearance of Akane. She and Kazuya were arrested for trying to corrupt Akane, hah. Also, her robe had Nekomimi! It was hilarious when she started arguing to the Pillar and they animated her robe more and more like a catgirl.

Also, is it wrong to be attracted to Miss Maria? She even had a katana that was covered in ichor.

All in all, I was satisfied.

Aeon
Tue, 04-04-2006, 10:27 PM
Finally watched the eps, I wish they gave Mai vs Nina more time. It was over as soon as Nina transformed. I still liked the ending even though them surviving naked while falling to through the atmosphere was strange.

Yukimura
Wed, 04-05-2006, 03:05 AM
A lot of people survived a lot of strange occurances in this series, Tomoe? How did she not die? Nina and Arika in space...at least draw in an aura so we canpretend that's how their breathing. Falling from the exosphere with nothing but nanomachines and GUTS! to support you............... right.

All in all I still loved this series, enjoyed the end, and definately loved Miss Maria like no other. I think the reason she always looked so pissed was cause she knew how bad ass she was but couldn't lay her real pimp hand down on the kids when they were acting up. Bringing Akane back was cool, though the pillar who retrieved her was kinda weird as she was just thrust into the story...I had always thougt the teacher and Maria were the other Pillars. Can't wait for the OVA's and I'm glad they left it open enough for more content to possibly come out later. And something I was confused about, was the country Akane's boytoy came from the one that Midori and Co, beat up before the final battle? I've been watching to many different groups to keep the place names straight.

chobits1217
Wed, 04-05-2006, 04:18 AM
well....it a very nice series., and since i have the experience of hime's ending, i did exactly the samething, and i mean it, exactly the samething, "having a stupid, smiling, right eye open big, left eye half closed, lips twitching, expression the whole 26 mins"

the whole time phrases like "wow! PUWAHAHA!! er... HUH!?!?? WTF!?!" just keep on circling in my head,
woot! all the otomes are out, owning the slaves,
a big LOL for Haruka "don't leave me behind!!"
gj Nao and spiral chibi!
WAHAHAHAHAA akane your clothe sux, "you still an otome?" <---nice job Nao you the best!
hohohoHOLY SHIT i never know otome power can turn old hag into sexy female swordman!!(btw at 8:36, that scene is the best in this episode!)

the only thing really made me say WTF is when nina went crazy and Arika just go full power and defeated her in a second....:eek: ERM WUT JUST HAPPENED!?!?:eek:
although i know Arika will win anyways, but that just came tooooooooooo fast, especially when Nagi was like "oh we all gonna die!"

and the story ends, everyone lives happily after~
i find the endings for hime/otome are kinda silly compare to previous episodes, but they really chill ppl up, for example, they each made me go nuts and smile like an idiot for 26 mins:D

And something I was confused about, was the country Akane's boytoy came from the one that Midori and Co, beat up before the final battle? I've been watching to many different groups to keep the place names straight.

Kazuya was from Cartelya (sp?) which is some large country that was not talked about much with the exception of how it related to Akane and Kazu.

Midori and company (cyborgs) are from the Black Valley, they live in the middle of the wastelands.

Haruka and Yukino are from Ealis (the country where the hiking trip took place).

Yukimura
Thu, 04-06-2006, 04:58 AM
I think you missed my queestion. There was an episode where Midori and the cyborgs attack a nation that had attacked their hideaway to steal technology. The Otome got run through by Gakutenou, I am wondering if this country is the one Kazuya came from. I know the needed a monarch since the previous one died with his Otome.

EDIT: I stopped being lazy and check for myself

Ryllharu
Thu, 04-06-2006, 05:22 AM
I did answer your question, just not in the exact way you wanted. I did point out that Kazuya was not from that country by saying he was from another.

Same situation as the Mai-HiME manga and anime, both are totally different. At least they recreated everything, instead of making shit of the storyline like in Black Cat.
