Well, contents aside, Sunrise was REALLY trying hard to show the trailer is a joke by claiming the movie is to be released in the year 20006.

But people in other internet forums are STILL in denial, discussing the film as if it is to be release in a year or two... WHY?:confused: :heh: :D

Yeah I noticed that it said Fuuka Taisan and Autumn 20006 on the trailer. So we have to wait a very long time for it:heh: otherwise it was a typo (not likely). And the Fuuka Taisan is such a parody on Sakura Taisan.

But I have to say that this trailer was kinda mean - they show us scenes that they KNOW are kickarse and then it's like 'oops, did we show them THIS? The animators were bored so they came up with it.' :eyebrow:

I initially thought this was some fan-made fake, made up of scenes from existing HiME and Otome animation.

But then my jaw dropped when I saw it was a 16:9 trailer, plus all-new animation! Really, the trailer was so smooth, even reminded me of the Cowboy Bebop movie for some reason.

However, the movie shown by the trailer doesn't exist, that's the "fake" part, not the trailer itself.

It is an extra on Mai-Otome DVD1, so I guess it is omake 1. To help me out, please tell me if there are any other video clip omake on the Otome DVDs. If there are going to be a flood of omake videos like with Mai-HiME, I'd like to be prepared for them.

There is one other thing. It's a 1:40 clip that features My-HiME for about 5 seconds before cutting to previews of upcoming Sunrise/Bandai Visual DVDs...

Except for this, I would have been almost been tempted to guess this was unused footage from an unreleased Mai Otome promo from earlier last year before they decided to go the AU route for Mai Otome rather than the direct sequel one. It bears a lot of similarities to the original pre-release Mai Hime promo that differed in several ways from the actual series.

It's anime....anything can happen.

Anyway,

It doesn't matter what *Anyone* thinks.....it's all fake anyway so why concern yourself with this? It's an Omake.....let's treat it as such until Sunrise pulls a fast one.

And I agree with Sakuya by the way.

I think its better to call them "original" footage rather than "unused" or "new".

Mainly because, judging by the trailer itself, it is impossible to sensibly fit this "movie" into the timeline(ending) of MH.

Why? At the end of MH, the Himes lose their powers and their child disappear, and already mention is the disappearing of the Hime Star. Both happenings in the series contradict what is shown in the movie.

Which is why I agree that its better-off as a AU for MH.

Well, the HiME star is shown to appear out of nowhere at the start of the trailer, we just don't know why it came back... With the HiME star back, the HiMEs probably would get their powers and Childs again.

How would Arika being able to bring the Star back contradict the MH Anime. And, can ANYONE tell me exactly where anyone associated with Mai Otome said "Mai Otome is in an Alternate Universe." All the statements I heard seemed to be designed to give that impression without actually saying it.

How about the fact that OL is suppose to be the only one(together with his "hime bride"), to have control over the Hime star?

Arika, a character who only appeared for 5secs during the last episode of MH, suddenly going DBZ style and summon another Artemis-like child and the Mai star?

While I agree that it is original footage and represents a Joke Trailer, I don't see how it could be said not to make sense from the original series, unless the things that happened in Mai HiME are everyday events where you are from.

There wasn't supposed to be any extra HiME, but, look at Alyssa.

Considering that we saw several armed guards supporting Arika, it's clear that just like Alyssa, she has some kind of organization supporting her...

But... as already said, this kind of discussion about a trailer of a movie that doesn't exist is meaningless.

While it is not likely, it would be really funny if the joke were on us and they actually used some of that footage in a flashback about what happened to cause the ancestors of those on Earl to leave Earth.

I had similar thought about it. If they can make one artifical Hime they can always make more. Maybe the Otomes are a strip down, cheaper by the dozen ver of a Artifical Hime. And Arika in MO is not only a Otome but a Hime as well. And we will see her summon a child later.

Ya, and she manages to transform herself back into a baby form, and then grow up with someone whom she refers to as "grandma", and somehow obtains a pendent and gets herself caught up in the whole mess which is Mai Otome.

Exactly. It's pretty clear that 'Grandma' can't just be some random schmuck who found Arika, not if Arika ended up with MIYU as her good buddy. Furthermore, Arika looks the same in Miyu's sight as Alyssa did with the glowy hair. It seems pretty likely to me that someone has been up to something...

The trailer could actually be real,here's my 2 cents:

1)At the end of episode 26,we see Arika looking at Mai and company for a brief second before heading to school.This seems to show that Arika know that they were HiMEs. The trailer shows Arika as a new student in Fuuka Academy.

2)The mark on Arika's thigh kinda represents.... The mark of the PRINCESS,although i think it could be QUEEN since she has the power to materialize the Hime-Star.

3)The 20006 thing could be a reference to the setting where Mai-otome takes place which is the far future where people left Earth for another planet.

4)The trailer doesn't really look like a joke,since the only funny part is near the end where it says that it is a separate movie shown together with the Mai-Hime movie. Kinda like the funny part shown before the first movie for Naruto.

5)No official sources has yet confirmed that this trailer is a fake...,right?

6)If it's really made into a movie,the plot would actually be interesting rather than just a joke.

7)I doubt they will make a short fake trailer just to show us Nao getting killed.(Not sure for shizuru)

That's all i can think of...

Theres ONE thing that is amiss - Nao, at the end of MH, became a nun. And as you know, Sister(name escapes me for now) didnt attend school AT ALL.

But hey, wait.. In Omake 21, Midori says, that Fuuka is as old as Yamato imperial court, and it's origins goes back 4 centuries, and it's the time of Edo era. So, considering that Edo era are years 1603-1868, that means that MH could take place in 2003-2268 :D

dreamercross
2006-02-02, 08:52
Maybe Nao's just donning the nun robe and not really becoming a nun herself. Since she's preaching about defeating one's enemies is best done from the behind.:eyespin:

Considering how obvious it's fake, it would seem a tad silly for them to then go out and say, "Yeah it's fake" when everyone already knows that.

Speaking as a Cradle Catholic whose mother almost became a nun (fortunately for my existence, she washed out)--Nuns can and do attend school and get an education. If Nao became a nun, she would most certainly be expected to finish high school at least, and many nuns go to college as well.

In which case, she'd be expected to wear the school uniform when attending school.

Yukariko, OTOH, was old enough that she didn't attend school because she has probably already finished her education.

In the MH manga there was a group (Sears) that had Hime with the marck of the Princess (Perfect Realization of INdependent acCESS), basicly they don't need a MIP, but they get corrupted by the Hime Star (because they draw power directly from it) ... keep in mind that the marck on Arika is slithly difrent from it ... but I guess that doesn't mean much

By the way here's a pic :
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2920/mhprincess8aa.th.jpg (http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mhprincess8aa.jpg)


There is the posibility that the movie/fake trailer was based on the MH manga instead of the anime :( ... or both ( if that's the case then it would be one kickass muvie (since the Manga isn't as senzored as the anime when it comes to action and gore)

In the Manga Shizuru isn't a hime (or a pricess) so that would explain the scene of her with Natsuki in the trailer ... also MIB are Keys and they if they die the hime just pickes another

[edit]

The 20006 thing look's more like the date for the calanders (a j/k to keep the fans scraching at Sunrise)

Apology from all of us at Doremi.

Version 1.5 of the Mai HiME Movie Trailer has been released. We've noted some issues with the first one and have corrected them. While this version is the better one of the two, they're pretty much the same. Should you get the newer copy is entirely up to you. We're sorry that we screwed up on this; we're only human after all. :P

To make a very long story (pages and pages of logs) short, there were arguments made about the typesetting, the font used, the karaoke effects, whether letters were capitalized and whatnot. Anyways, 1.5 isn't necessarily better than 1 in my opinion, but since majority rules, most people will like 1.5 more. Details on website.

it's called "guerilla marketing" in the business world.
if you know what will make the fans stir and want more and yet at the same time you want to test the waters as to how they will react, you release or say something 50-50 true/false and you "wait-and-see".

From there the company can decide if they'll go on with that 'something' or not.

In this case, a Mai Movie wherein they'll link Mai-HiME and Mai-OtoHiME (again I prefer writing Otome as OtoHiME).

So just cross your fingers.

20006 was intentional in such strategies. So if later they decided not to go on with it and scrap the idea altogether, they can just say it's a "fake" coz it's "20006". ;)

If they'll go on with it, then they can use the "link Mai-HiME and Mai-OtoHiME" idea or use a totally different idea/storyline!

There are lots of possibilities, and they're just testing the waters as to how we - the Mai-FANs, will react to it.

What I noticed there are:
1) Mai-HiME and Mai-OtoHiME linked
2) OtoHiME's linked "after" the events of HiME
3) Arika's evil(?)
4) "Want a movie fans?"
5) "Help us authors make this into reality"
6) "Help Sunrise make this into a reality coz the author doesn't want a movie"
7) "Just stirring and teasing the fans, nothing else"

wtf is with that gfaqs thread? :twitch:

I think Doremi had gotten their subs out in a timely manner, with good typesetting, translations, etc... In fact, you've all done nothing but improve as you've subbed Otome. It's rather shocking that those few people hate Starks so much as to snark over the group's reasons for keeping him.

I, for one, appreciate the work. Thanks for the trailer and all the rest.

Even if it is faked, it introduced the best concept ever from Otome.

Evil Arika! :D The "Puri puri BANG!" scene had to have been the best of all. It was her way of telling Alyssa, "You gonna die, bi***!", but with a happy, enjoys kicking puppies kind of smile.

Though it'd be radically differnet, Mai Otome'd probably be more interesting with Arika as an antagonist... at least, that's how I saw it.

i dont like this prospect at all. you might be right, it might be the case but its a bit alarming. its something like the bosses forcing the staff to do a movie although they are drenched of ideas, judging only by expected sales. would that result in any good? i dont think so. i dont want a GSD with cute girls. we re better off without it.

actually in any case i prefer the "this is just a joke" idea. if Sunrise are testing whether fans will accept (=buy) the series it means that they dont have enough self-confidence in their upcoming (?) work, so the chances are high it will be just a boring cash-in.

if there is a third installment i hope it is released the way otome was... "here fans, this is what you were all waiting for, let us impress you"

I'm beginning to think that this trailer is not real, but is actually a disguised foreshadowing of MO's storyline. We have Arika with golden hair, a date in teh distant future, and Nagi claiming that she is 'key'? And keep in mind this was on a release with only thefirst 4 episodes. Seems like an interesting coincidence to me.

I think the point he was trying to make was that while it was a fake as far as there being a movie goes, it may very well have been a way of showing part of the relationship between Mai HiME and Mai Otome. That the movie was fake, but the trailer wasn't really a joke.

I dont see how the trailer (Alyssa + Miyu the guardian + himes = good guys, Arika = villians) can link logically, in anime sense, to Mai Otome (Arika = good guy + main character, MIYU = her guardian, villians = Schwarz).

Unless you're teling me that Arika managed to convert Miyu to become her protector and proceed to brainwash herself (or reincarnated) into the Arika she is in Mai Otome.

So the Mai-Hime movie, "The Battle of Fuuka" trailer was just a deliberate, commercial dupe by SUNRISE to ensnare Mai-HiME consumers to buy the DVD's and merchandise.

The fake trailer expands upon the Mai-HiME universe what could have happened after the fall of the Obsidian Lord.

Arika's coming advents the reappearance of the red star and quite puts up the role of villain in sheep clothing.

But the only HiME's featured are: Mai, Natsuki, Mikoto, Shizuru, Nao, Shiho, Yukino, and Alyssa.

But not the whole bunch. Man that's depressing.:upset:

If you look at it, the trailer was designed to be viewed in conjunction with teh first 4 episodes. Obviously, since the first 4 episodes (3?) are on that disc. However, it has an image of Arika having golden hair. This happened past episode 4, so by default it is foreshadowing to some extent. That's why I think it may very well have more than just that.

Not exactly...

The movie suggests that Arika was an artificial Hime made by the same organisation that made Alyssa. Since Alyssa has glowing golden hair when she used her powers, it stands to reason Arika had similar physical atributes. There is no need to use information in MO to explain the events in the trailer at all.

It is true the MO Arika has glowing hair to Miyu's eyes, and there is still evidence that MH might be linked to MO. But to suggest the Movie trailer is implying hints in MO from the hair factor alone is pushing it.

All things involving it. What is there? I've seen Mai-HiME 1-26, and I thought that was it. Then, I find the following.
Promo Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xRos-lCx8Q)
Movie Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRCRj9jkV-E)
The promo indicates something seemingly completely different from the episodes 1-26 that I saw, something, that doesn't make me want to kill myself. The movie trailer, I had no clue about. I read on other forums that it's fake...? That would certainly be, excuse my language, fucking cruel. I've also never seen Mai-Otome, so if someone has a torrent for that, that'd be awesome.

Ultimately, I need a complete list of what exists, what's what, etc, in an easy to understand format. Everything, manga included. When I say complete, I mean complete. I need to know everything, what relates to what, if something means anything to another, all of it (Not which character likes who, etc.). I thought I knew what was going on before I saw those two videos, now I feel as if I know nothing. Great thanks to anyone who can help me.

I didn't repost it here, it was moved here by Xris. If you want to complain about that, talk to him/her. Quite frankly, if you can't read, I said above that when it comes to the specifics of these things, I'm quite new and uninformed compared to the people here. I didn't know there was a forum specifically for Mai-HiME/Mai-Otome when I posted in the Fansub forum, and the other was deleted, which I was pretty much expecting. As far as the DVD/Torrent/Games thread, I hadn't known that was against the rules. It was locked by a mod, I was told (Twice, once by the locker, once in a PM by Xris.) and it's not going to happen again. If they needed you to tell me, either you'd be a moderator, or they would have told you to tell me.

HEY people!! i scrutinized the trailor and it told me 3 things

1. it gives a promo/idea of what will be the plot for the "mai hime" movie.

2. it also tells about another vid that airing called "mikotos great delicious adventure"

3. and finally it tells about a 13 hime calendar coming out april 20006


now heres what i find funny.......as someone else said, they love playing tricks and lying about stuff like that...... but maybe we are overlooking the facts...
it doesnt say the movie comes out 20006, in fact it doesnt say when it comes out.....
as for mikotos adventure and the movie....as from seeing the "next episode" part on all the mai hime episodes ive concluded that theyve always just played with words and the scenes that were already there.. so couldnt it be safe to say that there might actually be a movie? just not what the promo is selling?

Sure it's possible that there will be a Mai-HiME movie someday. It might even use some of the cute scenes in the this DVD extra. Lots of things are possible. I just don't think that it is "safe to say."

Let it go guy. Just let it go. You sound way too desperate to take this joke seriously. Maybe there will be a movie eventually even though this trailer was intended as a joke.

Well, we won't see it for another million years at least, if the joke trailer is any indication.

Heck, by then we would probably have discovered some means to transport our conciousness into anime-universes and live there... in Otaku Immortality!! Yay!! All Haruka-Chan all the time!! :p

With a bit of Mai and Rena on the side, naturally.

I think many people got over excited about this promo of a movie that they forgot to mention the fact that Sunrise explicitly stated on their products webpage that this promo is meant as a joke. :heh: As a result, misinformed people are running around continuing to spread this news as if it's true resulting in even more misinformed people...

It would be great if those misinformed people created more misinformed people (and so on) and that all of the misinformed mass knew japanese and spamed Sunrise's e-mail box for creating a joke that didn't put anyone laughing. Then yeah... that would be funny.
Maybe if everyone spamed them they would consider that... (Yeah, yeah keep dreaming >_>).
But, hey! Maybe someday they'll decide to come up with a movie, yes because it isn't a way to safely say that "there will be a movie". Let's up so, if not... Well, we just have to get some other anime to be obsessed on. XD

I have a hard time enjoying an anime series of around the same genre after watching My-HiME. :twitch: Even My Otome could not compare IMO. I wonder if there will ever be a series as enjoyable as MH in the future?

Definitely! Mai Hime was light years better than Otome. (I don't get tired of saying this >XD) And yes, it will be hard for us to get a better series than Hime. (I miss it everyday ;__; ) And from the look of it, there will never be a more enjoyable anime than Hime... *trying to cover the emptyness left by Hime with Kanon and Madlax* Ye... not working >_<... I hope Sunrise do at least a real sequel to Mai Hime, with the original characters and even better quality... (That was what I wished for this new year, along with a Shakugan no Shana season 2 though I wouldn't care if I only got the Hime one. XD) But it can't hurt to be positive, can it? (Actually it can, but whatever...)

Well I read the first volume of the manga and got the 2nd on pre order. And I find that it is alot more enjoyable then MH. So if you need to fill in that craving go pick it up.

Neh, already read the manga. Mai Hime for life! I think that the Otome one is only few steps away to be a hentai manga XD. Not my style really. But my major problem with Otome ,anime and manga, are the main characters whom I don't find as captivating (or as good) as the Hime ones who were extremely well balanced. The only reason I read and watched Otome was because of the Hime characters.

true, mai hime is a relatively clean anime with some connotations to certain relationships, mai otome on the other hand has more of that content.

IMO this isnt a fake trailer. i watched the subbed trailer from doremi fansubs and in the end it says the calendars are sold in 20006. and in the last special of mai otome (that thing with moe) it is mentioned about the "The Great Battle Of Fuuka" and "Mai Otome Zwei"

it says the year 20006 its not a typo and if anything if it were real then we'd see more info on it. the producers had too much time on their hands
the year curently is 2007 its a long way until 20006 even if there was a market for the movie

its been an establishd fact that its FAKE

True, they had too much free time. They should've spent it on making Otome worthy of having the "舞" at the beigining. And even if they decide to do it for some reason it won't be any time soon. Let's watch the Otome OVA for now and them we see what's going to happen with the novels and such. Then again we can still pray for a real Hime movie XD

Well from my earlier post, by when the third episode of Mai-Otome Zwei comes out in May, probably they give a sneak peek of the next series,sequel or prequel of Mai Hime or Mai-Otome. Maybe we would have movie of Mai Hime or Mai Otome if we get more anime fans into the franchise and I'm still praying that Lena is the next villain of the Hime sequel. I want her to be so mysterious and sexy.:cool: :cool: :cool: :eyebrow: :eyebrow:

You're in love with Rena XD I wouldn't mind her being the villain if they put the old cast in the series XD But I doubt any of them will happen. If the series have new characters they'll probably stick with them and give us sucky screentime for our favourite characters (Sunrise likes to do that >_>). But I sure hope to hear about the next series soon. I'm hope they're good news for us. :D
