View Full Version : Which Mai-Otome Character Do You Hate The Most?

Same idea as the favorite character (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=28476) thread...this time, you're voting on who you dislike the most...Again, I'll limit the poll so that you can only vote for the character you least like. You don't have to vote now if you don't want to. If you want to wait until the end of the series to see who's left standing, then do so.
This poll isn't public, so no names will be shown when the results are viewed.
Cheers. :)

Tomoe, without a doubt.
The length to which she's willing to go to get rid of Arika for such a trivial reason is just plain sick.

But isn't it amusing to see a bad person try and try and fail everytime.... Serves her right!:D
SIRGAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wads up with the pedophilic relationship????
PS: i hated Tate in MAI HIME too
his char has a look that pisses people off.......
Let me see, Tomoe and Nagi are both bad, but I respect them for that. Arika... I really don't like her at times, but I do feel sorry for her as well, so I'm not voting for her. Miya was a fool but she got her punishment. Sergey redeemed himself. Ernist rubbed me the wrong way in episode 16, but I can't hate someone for being fearful. Nina's all good although she's going to be bad. At any rate I like her more than Arika. This is hard...
I'll hold on to my vote for now.

Shizuru, fugly and psychotic, need I say more?
*hands Asian an asbestos bodysuit*
As for me, it was a hard choice, mainly because I like all of the characters. It was a choice between Akane and her sickening heterosexual tendencies (I kid, I kid... but she's not very well developed at all), and Mashiro's mind bogglingly bad reign over her kingdom. I eventually chose Mashiro if only because her incompetance as a ruler hurts many more people than Akane's sillyness ever could.
What the? Someone hates shizuru? I thought she was immune to hate since she's a super lesbian with a rack. I don't hate her but like asian knight, i don't think shes that cute either.
My choice goes to sergay. Don't know why but he's just annoying to me. Nagi is the only important male i can stand. Give us another male in the forefront besides sergay!
Not to question Catgirls judgement on this poll, but this sort of thing ended up near a flame war duing 'Who is your fave Coral' let alone this question. And it usually always happens through people giving the usual banal/bashing reasons or, even worse, they start alluding to the intelligence of other viewers (or their supposed lack of)
I thought I'd say it now, because maybe people will feel inclined to prove me wrong.

I'm going to keep a close eye on this thread and try to keep the peace for as long as I can. Those that blatantly try to turn this into a flame war will be dealt with, but you may be right. The Otome/HiME crowd may not be able to maturely disagree. My hope is that they can.
WHAT?? THERES SOMEONE HATE SHIZURU?? I wonder why? :heh:
I vote for ... Nagi ... and Sergay <_< because I hate them

Holy shit.
Sergay's in the lead. :uhoh:
Whatever, now I can't even remember who I dislike strongly... I'm probably leaning towards Arika... well, it's not that I hate her but I really wish they had a different type of character be the primary focus of this series. Oh well, that's what dreams and fanfiction are for I suppose.
Or maybe Mashiro. I dislike those bratty royalty types, even though she's trying to improve. All for nought.
I'll refrain from voting until I've seen all 26 episodes. Guess that'll be April then.

Isn't it funny how everyone blames the guy, when it's the girls who are making the moves?
We are use to it, I guess... life isn't meant to be fair. It must be the guy's fault for being too attractive? He's a pedophile for being a young single wealthy male?
If he was half a pedophile that you think he is, neither Arika or Nina would be an Otome by now. Guys are not that patient.
...Sorry, just wants to get it off my chest. You can go back to your Sergay-bashing now... Seriously, even Tate didn't get that much hatred...

Well, considering that the "blame" in any problem usually goes to the male(unless in an extreemly male-dominant type of society), Im not surprised, really.
chose "other". the only character i can honestly say i hate is that old man that works with nagi... (what was his name again?) hands off Midori you *beeeeeeeep*.
i cant even say i hate Tomoe. she s cute in way, though i wont forgive her for what she s done to Arika. Nagi is also evil but he has style and without him the show would have no reason to exist... :heh:
edit: to avoid confusion, i dont mean Sergei... its that guy with the glasses i hate. i know, he s just a background character... but thats no excuse to dodge my hate!

For a catalogue of the things I would like to happen to Tomoe, refer to the following website:
www.happytreefriends.com
I must say that were it not for the fact she was physiologically incapable of doing so, she would have raped Arika herself rather than having to arrange it. :mad:
I stand by my contention; Let us hope what goes around comes around. :)

Ah! how nostalgic....HTFs. Changed a little "term" mistake for you.:)
On topic: Well, cant really vote, since the characters(yes, even Tomoe) isn't hate-able by me, a rather passive anime viewer. But who knows....once she starts actuall killing someone, I might get nasty with my imagination.:heh:
*rubs hands in glee*
Heh Heh Heh... This is gonna be easy...
*puts in vote and waits for results to load*
WTH... Sergey exceeded Tomoeeeeeee!!!!????
:heh: :heh: :heh:
That really happened, btw. I wonder now why I didnt choose Nagi, he's the big baddie evil guy in the show, but i guess he hasnt grown on me yet. It'll probably take a few more episodes for that to happen (like in MH)
Edit/Addition= Ouch Asianknight82, Ouch. Good one...
14 votes for Sergey? What the hell? It's not as if he has slept with Arika or something.

I agree. I actually like Sergey much more than Tate and he happens to be my favourite from the new characters (mainly because most of the others are so annoying but still...). People not liking Sergey because Arika and Nina have stupid crushes on him is kind of weird.
As for the characters I hate the most it has to be Arika. I am a bit relieved to see that I am not the only one who voted for her. ;)

Most of the Sergey hate stems from the fact that some people didn't like the direction the plot took when Akira got a random crush on him. While Sergey himself never did anything wrong, simply his existance in Arika's life detracted a lot of enjoyment from the last few episodes... stealing screentime from better plotlines. Hence, the dislike.
Arika gets my vote hands down, no competition here. I mean could she have been any more god damn annoying?

Wow Tomoe has 20 votes...personally I think the stuff she does are interesting and makes me love her more. I can't really decide who I dislike. I'm not that fond of Nina or Erstin(especially her character design) as of now; I wasn't found of Shizuru or Natsuki either in Mai HiME...but I love them to death now even though I dislike yuri >_>. If this was Mai HiME I would of picked Shiho or Tate. I love Sergay and Shiho in this series. I think the fact that Arika had/has a crush on Sergay will make the tension between her and Nina more interesting in the future...I'll wait a bit to vote, but two people that I definately can't stand are Miss Maria and Sister >_<.
I agree with niwasatou! Go Tomoe!

2006-01-31, 10:54
Tomoe.
She is here for that, isn't she ?
Shizuru. I could go into a diatribe as to why, but that would mean I'd actually have to sort my thoughts out in a clear and concise manner, which would ultimately involve 'work'... so, yeah...
And since we only get one vote, here are the runners up.
Arika: Mary Frickin Sue
Mashiro: Princess Brattycup
Tomoe: HiME Shizuru Wannabe
Miyu: Personality and design: Butt Ugly
And what's disappointing about the poll is the amount of Sergei hate. It's unwarrented, I say!
Midori: She's still cool, I think, though, I'm a bit disappointed she doesn't have all the sentai shows to show her goofyness. :(
And what's this? Haruka's on the list? But no votes? That makes me happy. :)
Ahh Nagi look at him dodge the hate, which is the sign of a true mastermind, make other people take the fall for the things you do... Hey reminds me a bit of Tomoe, before Miya went away.
Waw.. Tomoe surpassed Sergey with 24 votes! :love:
People really hate the nastier antagonist one.. :heh: And I'm with all the Tomoe supporter there!
Go Tomoe GO!
And I think it's natural for Sergey to be bashed, he's the male lead in all-women show.. :innocent:

Nagi can dodge the hate because the voters know next to nothing about him. It's hard to hate an Enigma.

Never Ever Imagine... :uhoh:
It's your fault that now I'm having mental image of Nagi with black, skin tight underwear with some random robes on it...
I voted for "other". Friggin Kazuya couldn't keep his pants up and now there's no more Akane in the show. Just kidding. Actually I don't have any feelings that would even border on "hatred" for the characters at the 16 episodes marker. Tomoe and Nagi are obvious choices for dislike, but that's a given since they're evil guys. Even those two have a long way to go before they approach top class villainy like Griffith from Berserk for example (now there's someone I want to see go down in flames, while his dream crumbles to dust before his very eyes). Tomoe was actually there after the rape order, but after her recent acid attack, she crossed the line into cardboard bad guy teritory which I can't take all that seriously, at least for the moment. And while I'm at it, I want to mention that I'm in the Sergay fanclub. Great guy, witty, with a sense of honor and hasn't done anything worth condemning so far. Go Sergay, realize your dreams!
I voted Tomoe .... I hate when people smile and thinck like evildoers :D
I guess this proves that old man-underage girl relationship just doesn't sell. I hope the company that bought Full Moon wo Sagashite does not see this thread. :D
What am I saying? I am one of the people really, really dislike Sergey because he is involved in this kind of relationship. :heh:
But I may jsut speak too soon. He may redeem himself at the end of series or some other characters will win landslide on this poll. (Is this English?)

Sergey's technically a good guy...
Why do you guys hate him for being involved in a relationship with a 15 year-old? So mean...there is nothing wrong being in a relationshp with someone ten years younger, is there?:confused:

Exactly what has Sergay done that you don't like? You know... Things he did that are actually his fault? Anything that he would actually go to jail for?
So what if Nina and Arika don't have self-control? Did he try to seduce either of them? Did he?

But that wasn't his fault, right?
Nina would've frozen to death in the streets of Artai if it wasn't for him.
And Arika would've been fish food, or entered a rape rehab center.
It's not his fault if all the men in the Otome world are so useless that he has to do all the savings himself.
And except for that one time when he struggled between following his order or his conscience, he has behaved himself in a noble manner.

I am sure that this has been discussed a lot in some other threads. I don't remember which one, but you can look for it. I am sure people there can give you better explanation, reasoning, whatsoever, than just one person can give.
This thread is about who you hate the most in the series. I was making a statment or just an assumption from what I see in this poll, at least that is what I think I did. I don't think this is the thread to discuss about relationships as such.
Sorry, too slow. I think I should address this sort of post all together.
I voted Tomoe. Trying your hardest to discredit, ruin and kill someone because they have the favor of the person you look up to does not make you cool.
I also have to agree with Vallan Chaos Valiant on Sergay. He never abused Nina which would have been more then willing I would imagine.
As for Ariak... he was ORDERED to seduce her and control her by any means. For Arika's sake he disobeyed a order. The last thing Sergay is would be a pedophile.

Arika: Mary Frickin Sue
Um...From my own interpretation, labelling someone as a Mary Sue means that the person is pretty/beautiful but has close to non common sense nor intelligence.
How exactly can Arika be Mary Sue when she isnt exactly someone you would call a beauty, nor a very moe~ characer?:confused:
The phrase is "He will win in a landslide"
Actually, I believe its "He will win in a landslide victory".

Well, "he will win by a landslide" can be mis-intepreted as a literal form, and thats VERY WEIRD. Adding "victory" behind it makes it much easier to understand.
Indeed, English is twisted so much that I have trouble keeping up with the new "terms". Not internet terms, language terms...

Mary Sue has different interpretations. When I see "Mary Sue" I usually picture one of those "perfect characters" and that's not exactly correct either.

PS : He'll Be returned In this Final OVA of Mai Otome Zwei. Be Aware!!:D
I agree that Arika is a Mary Sue. She's infuriatingly set up to be a "pure" and "angelic" protagonist who nevertheless solves all of the world's problems with one hand-wave where "realistic" leaders with a grasp of politics (read Natsuki and Midori) spectacularly fail.
Arika tries to be Sailor Moon, but lacks the original's charm. So I voted for her.

It’s not that I really hate her, but I find Tomoe the most annoying character, and for sure one who I’d hate in real life.
She’s closely followed by Arika, though, for all the right things that Sikon wrote.
I had to vote for "Other" because you poll did not include John Smith from Schwartz. He was the only person I really hated in the series. Nagi and Tomoe we both evil, but fun characters. Smith was just loathsome.

I'm more mad at the writers than at her. They just seemed to have it in for her and kept depowering her over and over again. But you can't say she never did anything useful: One shot from her gun was equal in power to Nagi's ultimate weapon, and prevented it from destroying the Shinso (I think that was what it would have hit at least).
Not to mention that Natsuki twice rallied the nations of the world against a common threat. She's more of a politician, a background figure, than a battlefield fighter. Shizuru can be said to be "her Otome" de facto, even though they're technically peers.
Number one hate: Tomoe
Followed by: Sergey
I am probably going to get slaughtered by her many fans, but.... *activates Barrier Jacket*
Erstin.
Tomoe is an evil critter, I know. It's in her personallity to be evil. Erstin, however, is this kind girl, and I simply cannot fathom why she would betray her best friends for something as futile as 'my daddy wants it' especially when she doesn't want it herself! She's old enough to no longer be dependant on parents (hell, she hasn't seen them in years) and she damn well can make her own decicions.

I would really love it if I could vote multiple times. First of all Arika is just annoying to me never really liked her. Nina also annoyed me with her being with obsessed with her father. Tomoe I never really care about her. Mashiro now wth did they do to her, I liked Hime version and yet they turned her into this spoiled annoying brat. Sergey, kind feel bad for the guy but still don't really like him. Notice that nobody voted for Nao.

Nagi. The whole plot describes him as a threat but they never properly fleshed out his ambitions.
For me is this guy sergey i just hate him,
he always needs to be rescuted,
when he tries to do something only obtain get worse
the things and makes nina suffer...
Besides he seems to me so vulnerable and i don't like that ....
Tomoe is in the head !! that make me sad, cuz i love this character is interesting in her way ....

I tend to hate the most annoying character and for me, it was Arika. I just wish her brain grew a little more as the series progressed.
(but of course, we know Arinko grows some breasts instead of brains when it comes to the time of Zwei :/)
Spoils current vote results.
Great to see Nao with 0 votes so far. I've found her to be the coolest character out of the series. Seemingly evil yet has good intentions.

come now nagi is the true playa. hes one of the main reasons i watched the hime/otome series. as a bad guy he is one of the funniest villians to watch. hes evil yet he doesnt seem evil, you can never really tell if hes trying to side with good or bad.
and truly he deserved the utmost respect in the hime series. my favorite part is when he chides natsuki on having a little extra draft, right before she shoots a hole through his hair. as a bad guy he makes the series enjoyable to watch. but meh we all are entitled to our opinions.
i chose tomoe in the end just cause non of the char were really annoying but in the end her whole char persona made her more annoying IMO
I'm frankly surprised Arika isn't higher up on the hated polling. It seems a lot of people went with the "characters who did bad things", as opposed to "bad characters".
Oh Arika, there is no limit to how much I wanted you to sacrifice yourself to save the world, if only to remove your irritating, whiny presence from my computer screen.

It seems a lot of people went with the "characters who did bad things", as opposed to "bad characters".
I actually noticed this as well, which made me die a little inside. I mean, just because these characters aren't aligned with the side of 'good' (such an arbitrary word in my opinion) doesn't necessarily make them bad characters. I guess that the poll's title is a little bit ambiguous in the first place, but I assumed that this was a reversal on the: 'Which character in Otome do you like the most" poll.
In any case my vote definitely has to go to Arika. To me she is seriously flawed as a lead. She has: very little charisma, is whiny, excessively immature, daft, whiny, has very little believable motivations for becoming an otome, her voice is reminiscent of nails on a blackboard.... and did I mention she was whiny?
Maybe it's just me, but I don't go for the 'Truth, justice and peace' motivation. It's unrealistic and makes it hard to empathise with the character. Mai at least was believable: she fights because:
a) She feels guilty for standing by when she has the power to help.
b) Because if she doesn't the person dearest to her will turn into little green sparkles.
c) Because she's pissed. (See Mai going mental and trying to fry Mikoto)
Compared to that, Arika's "I want to save the world" seems both a little childish and pointless.
As always though, these are just my opinions and personal preferences. If strange redheads with ADD float your boat then I respect that, but I hated her.

Hmmm.... Sergay. He was a good character before Arika and Nina fell in love with him. Then he became the 'loli-pimp-pedo'. Tomoe is an interesting character. (Especially in the Zwei series) That's why I don't hate her.
Omg, WHO could hate Shizuru?!
*raises hand* Didn't vote for her though, Erstin was much much worse.

I've voted for Tomoe, but all things considered Erstin was also one of my least favored ones (with Miya).
Too good, too kawaii, too sweet, too perfect, the one that everyone like, virgin. To be sanctified she only missed to be killed and, not surprisingly, that happened too. Also, it was her best friend who killed her, the girl who, incidentally, was on the road to become the second Big Bad of the show.
They could have drawn Erstin with a halo... :rolleyes:

I am probably going to get slaughtered by her many fans, but.... *activates Barrier Jacket*
Erstin.
Tomoe is an evil critter, I know. It's in her personallity to be evil. Erstin, however, is this kind girl, and I simply cannot fathom why she would betray her best friends for something as futile as 'my daddy wants it' especially when she doesn't want it herself! She's old enough to no longer be dependant on parents (hell, she hasn't seen them in years) and she damn well can make her own decicions.
It was a bit more complicated then "my daddy wants it" , The ENTIRE Ho family had allied with the Schwartz. Smith himself said that Erstin was raised since birth to be a Slave Lord. Most families encourage there children in someway, Erstin's basically wanted her to die.
As for her willingness to betray her friends, Erstin was NOT taking the fight with Arika seriously, if so, she would have killed her while she down.
Tsubaki23
2008-01-13, 08:51
And here's my vote.
Nina.
Yes you heard right, Nina Wong. I really dislike her. Well I don't hate her, but in terms of personality, I'd take Arika over Nina any day.
Seriously? Do people like cold characters with a stack of issues? Because that's what Nina is to me.

The 'my daddy wants it' was an exhageration. Still, it doesn't excuse the crying, emo, writing letters and actually feeling sorry for fighting part. If you don't want to fight, don't fight. If you want to fight, fight. But going 'oh, boo-hoo I don't want this but I'm still doing this because I was raised to do this despite spending more years being loved around the people I'm supposed to kill then being loved by my familly who want me to kill them' does not endear me. Had Erstin been fully convinced in her cause, and shown a fierce determination, I'd have prefered that any day.

Well...
Between Nina, Arika, Tomoe, Sergay and Shizuru...
Don't know who to pick.
They both get on my nerves for their own reasons.
And from the list, Tomoe is to me the less irritating character.
I'm glad Erstin didn't get ressurected.
I'm glad also that Shizuru and Sergay just make cameo in Zwei.
(Well, Shizuru vas more present in OAV 1, but still...)

More years? At what age do students enroll at Garderobe, I was under the impression that it was around the age of 14. Meaning that Erstin didn't spend YEARS with them, she spent at most, a year or two.

Again, note the exageration. However, my point still stands. In Garderobe she was surounded by friends that helped and supported her to achieve her dream, her own familly trains her to kill said friends. I don't know about you, but I'm having trouble calling that love. So yes, she did indeed spend more years being loved in Garderobe then she spent years being loved by her own familly.

Although I don't hate her with a BURNING passion, I really didn't appreciate Miya's additude and way of doing things. She was so willing to do whatever Tomoe said, but found it all so morally ambiguous- she always ended up regretting it, or screwing up, and that pissed me off. If you can't think for yourself, and you can't be a good lackey, then focus on your studies. Don't just mess around and then get all upset about it.
Tsubaki23
2008-02-17, 20:20
I suppose we'll never know since you never get to know what's in Erstin's head.
"Because it's the law" "Mother, Father, Grandmother Grandfather" - Now then, are these all people told her to do so? Or were these family members who had died as well? "The Ho family lost several females during the war"
There's nothing to say that Erstin did not love her family, even if they did most likely treat her crappy, or at the very least "expendable" ALL Slave Lords are treated as expendable.
Erstin, I believe.. thought to a degree what they were doing was right, that unlocking technology would make everyone happy, that there would be no more wars. That part, I think she did agree with. The fighting part? Not so much.
I'm not saying that her summoning a Slave is forgivable, not at all. I just saw it more as a backed into a corner, confused action, than a random "Ok! I'll kill my friends now!"
........... and I still think Nina is the worst. XD

1. Shiho
2. Tomoe
3. Nagi
I'm gonna go with Shiho. Her only point in the show was humor and it failed horribly in my opinion :p
Tomoe is second. The whole bad character vs evil character point makes sense but naturally evil characters leave more of a negative effect on people than bad characters. Hence why she has the most votes.
Nagi was pretty funny and his character was intriguing... once again, but he was still annoying as hell and they still didn't explain his motives enough. Guess that's just how he is xD
Anyway, I'm kind of surprised so many people hate Sergay. I thought he was a huge improvement over Tate, who was among my least favorite in HiME. I also thought Nao was vastly improved here too.
Nagi......I want to beat the stuffing out of him

2008-08-19, 10:05
I'm with the majority here. I hated Tomoe, though I'm pretty sure that we were supposed to hate her. She was sick through and through, and the writing offered her no sympathy. It was like she'd made all the same mistakes that Shizuru made in Mai HiME (only she was more in control of herself, which is even worse), and never even attempted to atone for them. I nearly cheered when she fell into that building and my jaw was immovable from the floor when she miraculously survived. She totally deserved that comic-relief downgrade she got in Zwei.
I don't hate Sergay, but I don't like him. I strongly disagree with most of his choices and his annoying lack of a spine when it came to two girls young enough to be his children. Has it really been that long, Sergay, that you have trouble resisting your daughter's seduction technique? Adopted or not, if you raised her as your daughter you should always treat her as your daughter. That he even considered it...ugh. I think that he deserved to keep his memories and live with himself, quite honestly.

I dotn hate someone from an anime fast....
but I FREAKIN HATE TOMOE!!!
she deserves worse than death, but first they need to cut her hair, I cant stand it.
some say she is like shizuru from mai hime, but shizuru is way better, she has a better demeneor, smarter, better and just lost control, and when she lost control she did everything for natsuki, tomoe just out of rage and in the end did not hesitate to attack shizuru as well(when she was completly sane at the moment)
and by the way, she did not fall for the real shizuru(like natsuki did) but for the good little onee-sama shizuru pretends to be

Actually it was the very Shizuru who said to Tomoe "you remind me a bit of myself", warning her to steer clear of trouble. Or so the Italian subs I have say.
Shizuru Hime has of course a better demeanor, but they are basically born from the same prototype: this (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PsychoLesbian).
That said, I still prefer Shizuru over Tomoe anytime.

Hmmmm...last week I pulled out my R2 dvds of Mai Otome and rewatched this scene. While she did actually say that...it's not in the same context of what you think. It's a common misconception too so it's understandable.
Not sure if you heard the Otome Drama CD where there were flashbacks of Shizuru and Natsuki back in their Schools days at Garderobe but during their youth, Shizuru was depicted as a spoiled brat that wore a mask. She even managed to full Natsuki, who had a crush on her and wanted so much to be her Hey-gakari. After a moment of being alone with her, Shizuru had assumed that Natsuki was like all the other fan girls and wanted to be treated the same way. So after making a pass at Natsuki, Natsuki out of shock, slaps Shizuru and says something to the effect of, "How could you, Oneesama?!"
Shizuru was shocked over the slap and had assumed that is exactly what Natsuki had wanted seeing that all the other fangirls would have enjoyed the same treatment. So later on, Shizuru is inside the Trias headquarters still thinking about that incident and Natsuki. She thinks to herself "Anoko" (translation: That girl...). Haruka notices how out of it, Shizuru is and reprimands her for not being true to herself. She basically points out that she wears a mask all the time. Though with a little help from Yukino, Haruka devises a plan to get those two under speaking terms again. So she marches directly to Natsuki (with Shizuru in tow) and claims Natsuki as her own Hey-gakari much to Shizuru's dismay. Haruka calls her on it and challenges her to a butou with the winner claiming Natsuki.
Mai is present during this announcment so she tries to pep up Natsuki. But then Natsuki feels apathetic and unmotivated to care because of how disappointed she feels knowing that Shizuru-oneesama wasn't the image that she constructed in her mind. Mai mentions that it's Natsuki own fault for conjuring up that image and then in one last attempt to encourage Natsuki, she in turn says that perhaps she should make an effort to be her Hey-gakari instead. Natsuki is not thrilled to hear this so Mai peps her up some more and pushes her to get what she really wants.
So after that motivational speech, Natsuki is out looking for Shizuru. She encounters Shizuru walking somewhere and runs after her. And with a raspy, frustrated sounding voice (and close to tears_ she yells out, "Shizuru-oneesama! PLEASE make me your heya-gakari! I want to know more about you...the REAL you!" Shizuru hears this and is so moved that her own voice is shaking and she herself is on the verge of tears when she softly say's "Natsuki"
So yeah, it's basically just about the "fake" image that she created (and by "fake" I mean her so-called perfect serene front that she puts up in front of other people)...which is also what Tomoe had created as well in front of most of the students (I'm not counting her own croonies) as well as her own Oneesama and school faculty.

I voted Sergay. It wasn't really his own fault, but I feel disgusted by his relationship with Nina. At the very least, he could have told Nina clearly that her incestuous feelings would go nowhere and tell her to find someone else. Also, Arika's sudden crush on him seemed to be a bit of an ass-pull.

(Note: Warning for wall of text. If I get complaints, I'll put it in a spoiler box to not spam the thread).
Heh, Tomoe seems to be the one everyone loves to hate. Her hatred and anger seemed to come from nowhere. It's explained by Shizuru's feelings for Arika? Huh? I'd figure Tomoe would hate Natsuki a lot more... I didn't really notice anything besdies friendliness from Arika to Shizuru, and Arika's just friends with everyone (which is why she's my favorite in the series :)), and Shizuru is kind of a creepy perv with ALL the girls, so Arika's no real exception.
Sergey was a close two for me and NOT because of the age differences. I think a lot of people have this "Judaic/Western (especially American) arrogance" with regards to how people must live their lives and relationships, or be called "sick" and "wrong." To me, that's the ultimate hubris, especially given how immensely screwed up American society is. As long as both parties are consenting, generally past puberty (ie. 15-ish) and hence better able to understand what's happening, then I think it's more a matter of what other aspects of the relationship draw them together. Honestly, if Arika was 24, and Sergey (logically should be at least 30-ish) just wanted to seduce her for sex, I think it's way more demeaning than Arika being 15 and Sergey actually being attracted to her because of her spirit, energy, and enthusiastic optimism. The latter is actually attraction to someone and caring about who they are, while the former is pure lust, with no regards for anything else. IMHO, which is more likely to screw someone up? Anyways...
@LotusGenie, I think the Arika-Sergey matchup makes a TON more sense than Nina-Sergey. I can completely understand both parties. Arika had no father, so when someone is showing affection for her and being there for her when she needs it, I think she gets these jumbled up feelings and can't quite determine if it's gratitude, affection, love, romance, or what. I think his attraction towards her is understandable. She's (obviously) cute, but also energetic, honest, friendly, and idealistic, which I think are attractive traits to a lot of people. The age difference is obviously a factor, since he DOES mention it, but truly I think that matters less than a lot of the other obstacles (her dreams of being an Otome, Nina's feelings, Nagi's Xanatos Gambit, etc.).
IMHO, Nina-Sergey is a bit odd, not because of age, but rather the father-daughter thing. It just seems odd that a girl would develop romantic feelings for a (even foster) father. But, I guess it's not unheard of. It's really hard to tell how those feelings developed, but it appears in the series to have a lot to do with Nina confusing those feelings of protectiveness, affection, warmth, and safety that she felt with him, with romance. I think a lot of it may also stem from a lack of maturity (as in Arika's case) to understand her own feelings, and Nina's own personality of outward stoicism and holding her emotions inside instead of allowing them room to move around.
@Kagamin - I agree that the daughter-father thing was what bothered me (and not the age thing so much), but I don't think Sergey really returned the romantic feelings with Nina. It seemed pretty clear that he always thought of her as a daughter. It was also made very clear that he did NOT have sex with her in the series. I think the reason he seemed "not able to resist" was more that he was very conflicted as to how to spare her feelings without taking a step he saw as one too far. I think him kissing her was a bit of a compromise to that effect. Now, it may be a compromise that's even too far for most people, but that's one of the reasons his character was #2 on my list (which is where I come in agreement with you, Kagamin :)), because instead of doing the right thing by Nina and just being HONEST with her about how she means too much to him as his daughter to go down the path she wants to go and treating her like an adult, he treats her like a lost childish Tom Cruise and figures she can't handle the truth.
Plus he's kind of a bastard in how he cruelly manipulates her into doing those terrible deeds even knowing how much it's ripping her up inside. And when she FINALLY gets around to letting her emotions out, instead of comforting her and letting her drain out all that poison inside, he yells at her to "Shikarishirou, Nina!" Way to go... prick. In a way, he treated Arika with more respect and kindness than he did his own daughter, because at least with Arika he up front let her go and saved her from Nagi's wicked plans.
_I_ think Nina was remarkable in the end in that she DIDN'T reject responsibility for her actions, even though she was cruelly played by the two biggest bastards in the series. She accepted responsibility and resolved to live her life atoning for her mistakes (also more evident in Zwei).
Again apologies to anyone who received critical damage from the wall of text. I hope you make the fortitude save.

2008-09-13, 02:54
Wow, thank you KitsuneNineTails, your post was very interesting to read. :)
In particular what you wrote about Sergay.
Tomoe is also the one I hate the most, but if I have to think about poor character development Sergay is the one, along with Arika, that I find more disappointing.
My problem with Sergay is his lack of decisiveness or, better, the fact that at a certain point of the series he starts to act completely Out of Character with what it was stated before.
In the first episodes he is shown as a capable soldier and politic, the Ambassador of his country, the right-hand man of a ruler. A man that under a mask of kindness hides a cunning and selfish soul. And considering that in the past he even was the State Assassin, one could assume that his character is... a truly bastard :p (not that I hate them when they are well done and necessary for the show).
But, as long as the real bastard arrives and the real plot emerges, Sergay's character crumbles and in the end of the show he's nothing like he was in the beginning. He's indecisive and conflicted, and an epic failure as a father, soldier, and counselor. And, in my opinion, no clear reasons were given to justify this involution from what he was before.
Sergay is unable to protect his daughter or even to support her. He is shocked when Nagi's uses her powers against her very friends but what was he expecting? He himself has raised Nina with only one goal in mind, to be Nagi's Otome, and I find truly impossible that Sergay didn't know Nagi's plans, considering he was his right-hand man. Or was he really convinced that Nina's future would have been to clean to castle of his Master!?! :p
Then, when finally Nina asks his help, in that heartbreaking way (yeah, Nina is a manipulator second only to Nagi), he neither decides to accept her feelings, not he rejects her. It would have been a truly act of honesty, in both cases, but no. Sergay prefers a compromise that costs him a bullet through his brain...
With Arika, I can understand he is attracted by her enthusiastic optimism, to the point that he even betrays Nagi for the first time in his life,to protect her, but how could he think that his secret support for Arika wouldn't have angered Nina?
Again, Sergay treats Nina as if he doesn't know any of her, despite the fact that he has raised her like a daughter.
I mean, he's truly the cliché of the anime man/woman who walks in the world unaware of what happens around him, but this wouldn't be bad if before the script hadn't introduced him as a totally different character.
But then they gave Sergay too many conflicting affections, towards too many people, Arika, Nina, Nagi and even Lena, so that in the end he results indecisive and pulled where the script needs him, even to the point that his very distinctive characterization in the beginning is modified for the sake of said script. :rolleyes:

2008-09-15, 09:32
@AL: I dunno if it was bad writing per se, although I can completely see where you are coming from. The writers may have started off with an idea for Sergey to be this conflicted dark and manipulative character who had a secret agenda to help the protagonists (kinda like Mashiro in MH), and they just didn't really do enough to bring that around.
Or, they may have intended for him to be a weak, indecisive character who can't really decide what he's doing or why. I agree that some of his actions seem... odd. His protectiveness for and attraction to Arika makes sense to me, especially since he had a crush on Arika's mother when he was a kid, but IMHO you are also right in that he doesn't really seem to know his own daughter well enough to understand what's going on (even though he later admits he knew about Nina's feelings... ?). Also, how he treats Nina seems pretty casually cold and manipulative given how much she appears to mean to him early on in the series, and like you said, how could he not know or care what Nagi intended to do with her. I guess real people are sometimes conflicted like that, and sometimes act outside of what would be considered their normal character, but I dunno if I can see a person like that becoming the right hand aide-de-campe to a powerful ruler like Nagi or being emotionally stable enough to have been a good father up until that point...
I guess either way, he's kind of a dick... :)

I can justify Tate in Hime for being indecisive, but he's a teen. And it's not unreal for a fifteen years old boy (or girl) to act that way. To be selfish, insecure, and to be mean to people they care about. All things considered almost all the characters in Hime are that way, but they are slightly more than children.
Sergay, on the other hand, is a totally different matter. And he acts too awkwardly in the series, considering his age and the background they gave him. :rolleyes:

Nagi bothered me quite a bit in Mai-Otome. He just sorta has this aura around him that makes me hate him. Surprisingly enough, after seeing how loving Tomoe was around Shizuru, I sorta stopped hating her. I also though "Rado" (Reito) was a little annoying in this series.

But yeah... I'm kinda surprised too actually :heh:
I find Tomoe's character boring. Mai Hime featured complicated characters with agenda that did not necessarily made them evil characters, but not Tomoe. Oh no, Tomoe came as a surprise being probably the only token evil character (for the sole purpose of being evil) in the HiME universe.
