    Mai-Otome Zwei

    Promo of the OVA out by Karehi:
    http://karehi.edwardk.info/%5BKarehi...5D.avi.torrent

    One year after the events of Mai-Otome, an asteroid on a collision course with Windbloom kingdom is destroyed - barely - by an international task force of Meister Otome. Subsequently a new and more powerful kind of Slave appears, along with a sinister black-robed entity - or entities - able to easily overpower the most powerful of Meisters. Not only this, but Arika and Mashiro's troubled relationship is hindering the use of the Sapphire of Azure Sky - possibly the one weapon powerful enough to defeat this new adversary.

    Looks alright.

    The most essential and important information was saved for the very last seconds, naturally:

    It's not November anymore, but finally it's here. Let's rejoice!

    Episode 1 - Doremi-OTOME

    Edit: It was some heavy action. And a really overpowering enemy. And true to the ova traditions, fanservice can always be a bit more... generous than in aired stuff. Still, this is no amaenaideyo, of course.

    All in all it was very interesting and looked promising indeed. Some parts were a bit on the cliched side of the traditional themes, but on the other hand no more so than I'd have expected. Plenty of funny transformations, naturally, in any case.

    Well, the end of Zwei was stupid. We all had to see some variation of it coming, since the OVA never once seemed to take itself serious. I did enjoy the appearance of Mai-Hime Mashiro's True Form...after combining with Fumi of course, heh. Maybe no one else remembers that, it was only a few frames in Mai-Hime anyway.

    As far as I can tell, that prequel is completely serious. There wasn't a "Coming in 20006," like the Mai HiME movie had.

    Alls well that ends well, even if it didn't make any sense at all. Plenty of silliness and fanservice with a bit of action tosed in, pretty much all I really ever ask of Mai-*. Hopefully Statis-Subs will shrug the license as well so I can burn the same group for all 4.

    I'm a little confused, oh well.
    The fusion between Mashiro and Shinso sort of blew the whole thing, and she's defeated that easily. I guess I shouldn't complain >.<

    <3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.

    A Sunrised ending, alright.

    I have to say, as well, that the ending was a bit weak. In the first eps the enemies were totally overpowering but in this ep they got defeated far too easily, no matter what manner of a brilliant plot Nagi supposedly concocted. Sucks to be Nagi, though. He should have orchestrated a bit better assurances for himself before revealing all the details needed.

    At the end of Mai-Hime, you can see Arika running across the background behind Mai and friends at springtime. This special only takes place a few weeks after that from Arika's dialogue about living in a tent.

    Nina was always in Mai's class in Mai-Hime (seriously, she is even in the ED).

    So...

    Mai-Hime -> This Special -> 100s - 1000s of years and a planet or two later -> Mai Otome Sifr -> Mai Otome -> Mai Otome Zwei

    Yes, I do know that timeline Ryll.

    What messed up my head was Nina, Arika and Ers saying they felt they knew each other from somewhere else. Bit that somewhere else took place thousands of years later... and kid-Nagi and kid-Mashiro were saying something about them living a new life...

    You could have been more specific the first time. I answered with what I thought you asked for.

    Hmm...I don't think I'd think about it too deeply. There is that giant island the Himes blew up just sitting there in the bay, airplane warning lights all over it. Alyssa was one of the villains in the first series and her Child considered an artificial bastard of a creation. Turn around to Otome and then her rumored descendants are the strongest and most powerful girls on the planet.

    It could be we're wrong about the timeline. Perhaps they were never in sequence to begin with. Maybe they've been in a time-shifted parallel all along.

    Nina's cat, also...named Nina...has got to be one of the ugliest looking anime cats of all time. It is all scrawny and mangy.

    Sorry, my bad. I just didn't want to say much on the same post as the link.

    Nina the cat was also featured on Sifr
