    Mai Otome

    So I finally caught up with Otome and it doesn't hold a candle to Hime. On the plus side Nao still is one of the best characters.

    I hearing all the time Hime this and Hime that....Is it worth while for me to spend hooouuurs and hours downloading to see mai Hime? Coz I thought someone said it had nothing to do with this story. The characters are similar but nothing else really. Is it better or worse than Mai Otome? Nice if someone could answer me....

    You might have to wait until this series is over to get an accurate comparison =P But so far, I feel like the quality's the same-- which would be "okay". Do you like watching chicks fighting each other? Do you like fanservice? How picky are you about plot and animation? *shrug* Personally, I turn a temporary blind eye to fanservice, don't mind chicks fighting each other, and not all that picky about plot or animation. In other words, Mai Otome is an average series I watch to pass time with.

    I think ill watch Mai Hime when Ive some time. Thanx anyway Honoko [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. I watch it to pass time too, while Im waiting for Shakugan no Shana and Bleach ( Naruto is crap just now, think everyone knows anyway) those I do recommend to every anime lover.

    The reason My HiME was so popular is the fact that it gave so much detail into the personalities of the
    characters. Otome hasn't reached that point yet, considering it took about 14 episodes for HiME to do it.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    Otome means Maiden, and Hime means Princess. As for the Mai part, who knows.

    The kanji used is translated as 'Dancing' which in way, was supposed to describe their way of fighting.

    In Mai-Hime, Nagi frequently referred to them dancing, and in a much later episode, the tradition that led to HiME/element/Child 'festival' started from maidens dancing around a tree for their beloveds. The Academy celebrated that same tradition with the ribbons tied on the circular railing in the main entrance. That is the place the tree once stood.

    I'm actually amazed that I remembered all that, since it constitutes to about 3 minutes total of the entire series.

    Thanx Aeon. That really saved me some time.

    Nice explanation Ryllharu.

    Cool, Mikoto (the real one, not the cat) and Miyu make their first appearances in ep 8, if you haven't noticed. This further increases the chance of Mai showing up.

    Nope. Midori was the red haired, justice filled "17" year old teacher working on her doctorate in the original series. Now apparently a hateful, evil crazy Mai-Star of the Black Valley robosuit people

    Mikoto appeared above the organ in eps 7.

    Ah, right, completely forgot about Mikoto above the organs.

    BUT Midori DOES appear (kinda) at the end of episode 8. She's the one who steps up to that lord guy after one of her comrades calls her name out.

    I said that too:

    "Now apparently a hateful, evil crazy Mai-Star of the Black Valley robosuit people"

    You can tell its her from her voice. Its the same seiyuu, Yukari Tamura, one of my favorites.

    wait, so is Mai Hime possibly connected plot wise? or are they just reusing characters? I havent seen Mai Hime so if they are connected I want to see it.

    Reusing characters the same way that Tsubasa Chronicles reuses old CLAMP characters. Same name (for the most part, a lot of the family names are changed), same face, but a different person. Its a different world, some have the same personality (Nao, Shizuru, Haruka, Chie) and other are varied levels of different from their old selves (Shiho, Mashiro, and probably Midori).
