View Full Version : My HiME / My Otome General Discussion

I'm wondering whether there's any chance of starting some sort of general discussion thread on here.Like most of the other sub-forums, when the My HiME forum started out it did have a general discussion thread (created from the original discussion thread in the then Fansub forum). Unfortunately it was lost in December 2005 (http://www.animesuki.com/doc.php/forum_dec2005.html) and never recovered. Consider this thread as its replacement.

Well Sunrise has released the Hime OAV (at least 4 minutes.) from last January and now they have made Otome OAV. (possibly 8 minutes.) Yes, they're going back to the original series back in Fuka Academy and it's possibly an saga could be in the works of this year. But this is my speculation so, matter of fact here's an preview pic of it.

Including Otome characters coming to the Hime franchise and even an very special character as well.

It's not an OVA, just a little clip they included as a bonus on the blue ray.

Btw stop making speculations and spreading rumours, there is no way the bonus clip go for 20 minutes.

Who cares? As long as it has some connection with Original Mai HiME series and not Otome, I'm fine even if it is only 2 minutes.

Besides even if those are just bonuses, it still doesn't cancel possibilitis for something more. So many years had passed and so far it was always Otome. It really might trigger something. There still is that idea with fake trailer after all.

Sadly it's only 5 minutes and a picture drama. Lots of material though, so hopefully a new series will come out of it.

Oh, it's in 1080p also, so make sure you have the processor for it or any DXVA enabled video card to run it (Nvidia 8000+, ATI Radeon 2000+, GMA500/HD)

just watched the otome bonus clip...

Oh... where to start. If you expected epic revelations about ancient alien materializers and evil entities that "are behind all this"... youre out of luck.

Its Arika-loli and Erstin-loli visiting the campus and helping a cat. So far, so troll.

The pictures showing all kinds of familiar characters were also just trolling. Nothing happens between them.

The only mentionable scene is the Temple under water. I remember that temple... was it in one of the otome ova?

So... if this is the prelude to the next Hime Project... they need to fill it with yuri because otherwise im not gonna endure another season of Arika and her loli brigade. :uhoh:

Well I just.............................yeah I was exaggerating that far but I'm sticking to my guns though on what I said so nyaa.;)

There is one or two elements that would go through on my theory.



1. Is the replica of the Black Valley Mountain!:confused: Certainly it could be the power Materialization. :confused: Possibly, it maybe from Mikoto power or that Sunrise may have done an asspull again. Well still my theory that Materialization has played a role and whoever done this. (maybe Mikoto or something has happened.) To me it just get's more confusing and I though Sunrise was gonna get clean slate for the Mai frachise but apparently not.:frustrated:

2. As I said from the my earlier posts from an couple weeks ago. But then I deleted it for no apparent reason. Now it clears to me that Nagi and Mashiro are in trolling Fuuka like it's joke to them. To me they're the real villains, it wouldn't shock me If their doing this for the gods sake to smitten the world of their pleasures.


Thoughts: It seems to me this could be predictable again like in the other series. I really see and very good series down the road and I hope it will focus on the storyline through the enhancements of materialization and what does the gods have an role in this. One thing is it may come down on the wire whoever keeps the future of Fuuka and Materialization.



Now I will wait for the saga. :confused:

I agree! Their are some differences between her and Nina from otome.

Chun Mei (Hime) - Older, sweet, green eyes and boobs
Nina (Otome) - Younger, cranky, amber eyes, and no boobs

Chun Mei can be Nina's Onee-sama!!

Eh, I rather have Chun Mei because she may have the motherly type figure of an girl just like. It would be interesting what Chun Mei's story and how she came to Fuka. Speaking of Fuka it's an very large island indeed, I really want to know about it though.

Saw the special.
A bit disappointed that it was only Arika and Erstin based... but by some reason when Nao appeared with phone in nun's clothes, it cracked me up :heh:

By the way what was that box which was swimming in the water with school?

Anyway I really hope that it is a sign for possible series continuation! I mean come one! They still have that old idea with fake trailer and now they even put Erstin and Arika in HiME school! They can't simply stop there! And there was an actual mini continuation with Mai HiME series on the beach!

I really want 2nd season :(

And less Arika in it!

Was a bit surprised that Chun Mei had Nina's voice, even though she has Nina's voice. If there will continuation, I would prefer if she had actually played some role in the series.

Don't worry she'll play an big role in the saga, matter of fact everyone is involved but I think it's got to hit it the right way. I hope I see alot of screen time for the HiME and more battles down the road.

Already I see Arika more in Hime saga, If the fans demand it though.

Is this what you're saying, cuz i'm confoozed. I have a source that said opposite. Arika plays the main role in this, but it's split between Chun Mei and Erstin screen time and the rest of the others (Natsuki, Shizuru, Mai, Mikoto, Haruka, Ayane, etc. And small Nagi and Fumi). That's what he said, at least. So essentially it's similar to Mai hime's role of the three leads (Mai, Natsuki, Mikoto vs Arika, Chun Mei Erstin.

ITT: The little one's were Nagi and Mashiro, Fumi's child. But I'm sure they are the real masterminds on all of this.

But my sources, I think they really announce an Hime project by this year possibly it could be an saga to whatever path that is certain. Could it be leading to connection of Otome or to an new horizon for the future of materialization. This is an speculation so it's no problem to just guess about it though.

Still everyone will plays an role on this saga, Yeah it could be Arika focused or maybe will learn more about Mai, so I wouldn't be worried about the main character though. Just maybe it could be everyone. Already I still want to see Otome characters in the Hime Universe, you lied Sunrise, you lied indeed. :frustrated:

Have you saw the blu-ray for Otome picture drama, seriously. It was Mashiro, she had purple hair and Nagi was their last, they were in their kindergarden ages or pre-K. Great, now you got me confused.:confused: Anyway it seems that everyone plays an role in the saga, were talking about everyone in the Mai-franchise that's going to play an big part of it. Mai to Yukariko and those characters will put their sacrifices on the line.

Yes, I saw it at a department store here and yes they were both little kodama And I saw the girl with the cute hat have pink hair, they were both standing side by side looking into the school. Maybe it was Mashiro-san but I remember that cute girl with hat very well.I'm very sad that I didn't go to the "Oh Mai Hime!" at Giant. My friends didn't want to go, they wanted to see Eden of East.

well, that's just a hint that it might happen to be in the next HiME-project, so no worries,

Sunrise possiblity right now is to announce a new anime series from Mai franchise, that is all i can say for now.

Those shorts are being tested that they will make full-fledged anime series, but in the same quality as the shorts are.

Actually to me I think people want more interested on the story than the money, I maybe wrong though. But I'm seeing an very good saga but I'm hoping it be an realistic setting and the ending could be unpredictable though. But I really want to see Hime create their own legacy, break barriers and create bonds. Sunrise will give everything they got and I hope they'll give it hard to the fans. :heh:

Well fans would love more about the story than all about entertaining their pleasures, but they won't mind about spending alot on the franchise, besides I'm feeling Sunrise have alot of money and I'm sure they can make an at 72 episode series. But they are taking their time.

I know money is their focus but all in all sometimes they like good storylines and executing it well. Mai franchise will make good success.

You're watching "Mai Otome Sifr" right? Did you see "Mai Otome Zwei" OVA? If not, I recommend you to watch it. It's sequel to Mai Otome.

After these OVAs, nothing has officially being announced yet.

Mai Otome Sifr which is about Arika's mother is a prequel to Mai Otome and happens before it. If you're talking about Zwei, there's not any logical problem with its ending, but yes, there's still a lot to happen. If you're interested in the continuation of Mai Otome after Zwei, you can read my fanfic "Mai Otome: Decision". The link is at my site (http://www.minagimikoto.co.cc/fanfics).

*Kicks start this thread up and running*

Anyway I though we would kind of getting alot reaction from fans like me that wants to know about Otome blu ray picture drama, I've said this all along this was an pivotal watch, unless alot people didn't get the memo or not than we should have an big reaction indeed.

Now I hope New HiME saga could be green-lit soon then we would have frickin field day or an all year long.

Well I'm not, Why? I think we should wait as fans because the Mai saga could be something amazing that we never seen before, I hope it's green-lit in a coming days and weeks for the fall season or possibly next year. Still It would be an great idea for an Theater Movie series release now that would be amazing though.

I haven't gave up on the Mai franchise even still but Sunrise will work hard on it better though. Already, This is only the beginning for the Mai franchise and still healthy after the failure of the Big Bang Project. Everyone thought the franchise because of bad decisions on Sunrise. Now HiME EXA (manga) is released and I heard some positive reviews on it though some fanserivice including season blu-ray releases.

Hisayuki explained the next project on HiME that he was doing an journal and kept since after Otome series ended. He may have something brewing up and that kept me interested but I'm not worrying though. Unless he knows the ending and told it to Sunrise, then he may have struck an gold mine and maybe trusted Hisayuki to do Sifr OVA since he has done Cyber Prix GPX , Gear Fighter Dangoh plus Transformer Armada and more.

But the one thing I'm concerned the most is the fact that will the next series show us the link of HiME to Otome, go shonen or possibly to an better path?:confused:

It matters to what Sunrise wants and for everyone, but to me I'm an little stoked about this year.

For all the twelve HiME's including Miyu and Alyssa, their battles are not over yet. This is the re-emergence of the materializers. I think the HiME are not alone, I'm sure there's more HiME (Materializers) in this world and maybe more stronger ones better than the HiME. Good, evil or neutral they'll play an part on building an legacy for the Materializers. I'm sure the whoever is being on the villains side we'll be smarter and better than the so called Obsidian Prince.:eyespin:

P.S.
On an part about re-emergence of the Materializers, I'm saying that this maybe before when the Obsidian Prince was involved but that thing may have known about it as well.

Mai will be the main character once again since she stole the spotlight in the first series, Natsuki who I think still has revenge over her mother's death against District One. But I have an feeling that something worse is coming to hurt Natsuki and Shizuru may try to help her even they have to sacrifice their lives again. Mikoto, for being the Reito sister, when Mai is sick or missing she will play main character on how she'll fight against her enemies. I won't say too much but I'm thinking already we may have an unpredictable series like the first one was predictable apparently If they get their storyline good and fresh, I think Sunrise will finally we get off the hump over through the bad storyline issues. HiME saga has great potential indeed.

Well, Hisayuki is currently working on the new Votoms anime, so I doubt he'll be working on HiME for a while.

You played the big part on the first series but don't worry Sunrise has something in store with you my feral active girl.

Mikoto was basicly a main heroin in HiME series so if there will ever be season 2, she will be one again^^


I meant about Mai Otome that I played a very small rule :mad:

But I hope you guys are right :)

Otome series were poor... for basicly each character... the only ones I liked there were Nao and Midori...

Making Arika as main heroine was a really bad choice...

I should disagree ... Arika is my favorite pupil and one of the best anime characters in my opinion. She is a heroine of righteousness! But I like Mai even more! Hm!

But Mai and Natsuki of the HiME were far better than the Otome ones.

Arika was annoying most of ther time... though Nina and her Segey obsession also weren't the best =/

Mai didn't really change... but Natsuki was like a new person! So responsible and positive... not like her at all. I can't see Kuga as headmaster x_x

To tell you the truth I like the responsible and positive character of Natsuki on Otome but she was just useless in Otome so much worse in Zwei. I kinda of suggesting that Natsuki would pull off an Vegeta (Dragonball Z) but that already been filled by Nina.:frustrated:

I really hope the franchise can end in a good note and does not drag out like some shonen/harem series.

She inherited the same soul, but she was a rather happy-go-lucky version of the older Mai. Mai in Mai Otome almost never gets sad, angry , etc. That's of coarse result of their different life conditions.

Well I think clear when her mother died, Mai changed dramatically when she started to take care of Takumi because of his sickness and the family fell apart. It was her and Takumi the most kept the slightest way of hope. Mai was always doing too much for her brother, it's was already about her mothers death that Mai couldn't even bring the terms about it or she never bring terms on apologizing to her. That's why Mai is being an motherly type figure and showing it to her brother.

I don't know where their father belongs but I think he may have committed suicide of an broken heart because of his wife's death. Still Mai continued to work out and help for his brother expenses and saving up when the time on being right for her brother to have the operation on him heart alignment. After being accepted to Fuuka Academy, Mai was thinking about her new life and finally get the operation that needed for Takumi. The battles for against the HiME on the cruise ship, Mai in learning the powers of HiME, battling with them against SEARRS and fighting destiny in the HiME festival.

All in all, Mai may have changed but could she be willing face her adversaries, can she be determines to break barriers and make people happy? What is her future and for the HiME?

Mai will be an great Materializer and I think she'll be an focus for everyone in Fuuka and the Academy. Her life is actually beginning once again, she was born to rise again.;)

To me Mai is an great character and sometimes rare.

Well obviously she would be more depressing since Takumi was that ill, in Otome his condition wasn't that bad. Besides he was not alone so she wasn't so needed.

And when Mai wasn't depressing, she was the same as Otome version. Actually right now after carnaval is over and Takumi is healthy she probably will be the same as Otome version.

Well we all know will be the same but as I recapped all the episodes from the first series. Mai is overall an great character for the HiME franchise. (Scratch Otome) She always the same but she grows out of it and she'll be the main character for the saga. More positive and a sometimes bitchy, but Mai will get the job soon. For all the HiME's in Fuuka this beginning of the future for them.

For Takumi's sake I think he'll play an big role but I'll keep my mouth shut when the new project is green lit.

Another thing, I may get an berate it and ridiculed. HiME should have an second season already and continued from it. I think when it HiME was their cash cow and popularity. When Otome started to be announced an big "WTF" feeling was in and thats when the dominoes started to fall down. It would been better to have HiME continued after the first season, but that what life is guys.

I was talking about twisted-pieces posts on making bad errors on her post regarding names.

Is not what her character that is bitchy, it's her emotions and how she'll take it to the next level. HiME's have to be under self-pressure when the Carnival happened. None of these girls knew this would be the fact instead finding a way to stop it, they self-destruct. Not because of destiny nor the HiME star headed to Earth. It was the fact that their emotions were not in check nor that District One (Japanese Government)played monopoly on their country for the last thousand of years.

The HiME had to make something big, Midori and Natsuki had it and just foolishy dropped the ball. Natsuki should have took down District One as her goal, but lost because of "oh we'll some girl loved me and got raped, now she belongs to me." Natsuki was an good character along the way but in the end it just broke down for no apparent reason instead finding out the truth of her mother's death and stopping that could been a revolution or something else?

Midori on the other hand was starting to figuring out about the gatherings and the festival but should have overlook on Mashiro and Fumi. I thought she was this close on them the truth than figuring out some fairy tail myth on what Nagi said. Including till all the end it seems that Nagi and Mashiro were in fact the conspirators for this whole charade. Mashiro wanted to end the festival back in her time but then when she knew her brother became evil, instead she join Nagi, winning the festival. I think both of them are working for the government or entirely themselves. The HiME should have stopped their plans, for Mai and gang they have to prepared to fight for the future because everyone will be after them whoever their not in a talkative mood.

NO,I'm just saying this before when Shizuru did all of this. Natsuki needed to focus her goal to eliminate District One, she all the swagger but just wasn't no sense to take them down. On the prologue, Natsuki was supposed to go Mikoto and finding the Obsidian Prince's beholder. It's on the Mai HiME animation book vol. 1 and 2.

Put Fumi out of this, Mashiro is the one to be capable she should've talked about more with instead holding information and I wouldn't even doubt that after the Festival that Mashiro had no time with regarding to the Carnival. Because she knows something is up and whatever maybe, she's with an five steps over the HiME's.

For me Mai is the best always, but from Otome characters I find Lena the most attractive like Highman. However my favorite character from Otome is her daughter Arika. Especially when she transform to her Zwei form (I don't like her pigtails very much!).

Well nobody hasn't spoke anything yet but I have something in my mind that is brewing and this should be implemented on the new series soon.


Okay.........................*takes deep breath*

The one thing irks me alot is what about the whole first Mai HiME is that the story how good it execute until the end but all in all from everyone's point of view. In life and particular from every character to the story.

Do the HiME learned their life lessons as girls and what does their life behold for them?

I already spoken crazed words but what do us fans think about the whole story?

Bluewater dubbing studios and credit have sup-par to great lately for the last couple years. I would flat out tell you they still have good vocal range, If they become very serious about it instead of being sup-par. One of the best VA's out of the studio was Carol Anne Day (Mai Tokiha), Mariette Slutyer (Midori Suiguira) and Morgan Partridge (Akane Higurashi) and I hope they do more vocal range work than for the Mai-franchise. Right now, Californians and Texans VA's are fuckin stacked, for the Canadian's they are so-so because of voice over rust work. For the upcoming Sifr series, whoever dubs this would be a instant buyer.

Kaijo

Maybe I'm more old fashioned, but I prefer subs, heh. Skip the dubbing, just sub it and release. Spare the expense so the DVD is cheaper. But like that would ever happen, haha.

I have been having a dub vs. sub argument with a friend of mine, as he prefers dubs and me subs. I dunno, I'm just more used to the inflections and emotions in a Japanese voice now, that most dubs come across as "wooden" to me. Not as much emotion.

And you get things that just don't make sense in dubs, like near the end of Otome, when they refer to "Mai Hime." Obviously, in Japanese this works with both the language (referring to Mai as a princess) and also as an allusion to the first series. But saying "Mai Hime" in English doesn't make sense, because Himes aren't really referred to at all, and it totally lacks the "princess" angle.

Yeah you are right eventually because everyone bitched alot when they chose Shizuru accent instead figuring out on learning Kyoto accent they just give an Southern Belle or Texan voice and anime fans went crazy over that issue. I would not trust Bluewater (Ocean Group) to do it nor Bandai Entertainment to take that kind of licensing for the Mai-franchise. If they do Sifr, possibly? Then I would buy but not hear the dubs. Even the dialogue and writing was so bad that I can't even comprehend and confusing at the least. But I found good VA's but and possibly Golden Gems that could be so awesome.

They are alot of dubs that are superior like Outlaw Star,Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist and alot more, so don't count out on dubs yet. But I don't want Bluewater doing the Otome prequel nor the upcoming saga, but for the Golden Gems, I chose from my earlier post to come and get into a better dubbing studio than Ocean Group period.

Kaijo
2010-08-04, 23:05
Yeah, a lot of studios use a southern accent for Kyoto accents; I find it annoying.

And I do have dubs I like; Cowboy Bebop was done well, and El Hazard's dub was a bit better than the sub voices. Slayers, I can go either way on.

The main issue is that Japanese VA's train heavily for the roles, and there is fierce competition. Western VA's don't have the same... glamor, so there's not as much emphasis on finding really good ones. In a lot of cases, they have the remixing guy supply a voice, or grab the janitor; anything to shave some cost.

So while English dubs can be good, on the average, I find the Japanese voices to be superior. Plus, it helps me better understand a foreign culture and begin to learn some Japanese myself. Just from listening to anime, I can already understand and speak several dozen words, phrases, and sentences, heh.

No, this isn't true... typically voice actors in anime are trained stage actors, or professional voice-over workers... they don't produce these as cheaply as you make it sound...
There is competition in US dubbing too. There are auditions, and people get casted in roles if the directors find them suitable.

Yes it is competition in dubbing alot of rivalries in the VA's department from Vic "Mangina" Mignogna versus Travis Willingham, they never talk to each so that means, they hate each others guts no matter what. Just like Japanese and American VA's they have a system of what rivalry and situations.

To Kaijo, it doesn't matter what is superior on what dialogue you like, it seems your just being a idiot for saying those kinds things. Superior is inferior and the truth they will be bad subs and dubs overall. Your just jumping the gun like everyone and it sickens me man.

Baru
2010-08-05, 09:24
Eh, actually Vic and Travis are good friends...

Well anyway, point is, the dub workers do put effort into their projects, and they do hire professionals.

But either way, whether you prefer subs or dubs is up to the viewer. It's fine for Kaijo to like the subs better. But it's good to be respectful of the English dub staff too, because they do work really hard and try their best.

You misunderstand. In Japan, anime is more accepted, and it's a big business. Not many in US high school would say, "I want to be a Voice actor when I grow up" while in Japan, it's more than acceptable to say, "I want to be a seiyu." Their are many schools that train seiyu in Japan, whereas such schools in the US are nearly nonexistant; if anything, it's a course or two attached to a broader curriculum. It's also not as stigmatized as VA work is in Western Society. It's like anime in general, which is big in Japan, and yet not quite mainstream in the US.

Go ahead, enter a new social circle and say you like watching anime and playing video games. There is still that stigma of... immaturity to it.

In Japan, it's not as bad to say that, and since anime is a big business, a LOT more people train to be VA's then they do in the US. Over here, it's not as often you get a "professional" VA, but as you said, a stage actor looking for some cash between gigs or something. And yes, there can be auditions, but I think you're underestimating just what corners a company will cut to get cheaper labor.

Anime dubbing companies in Japan also want cheaper labor, but they get it because there are TONS more VA's there then in the US; with so much supply and competition, hiring prices go down.

I work for a company that hires VA's for some of it's work, adding voices to educational software. It's not that big of a business, and there are very few people who actively specialize in it. Normally it's just something attached as a side skill, and not sought as a lifelong career. And I've been in those recording booths and done some recording myself; it does take training and practice to modulate your voice enough to get emotions through so they end up sounding right. You can't just talk normally; you really have to push your tonations and inflections just right, almost overemphasizing them, otherwise you end up sounding wooden and emotionless.

Note: A company *can* hire good dub actors, and a lot of cases they do, even if the dub actors aren't professional full time VA's. I've already mentioned a few series where I liked the English voices. And most western animation do seek out better dub actors; but a company dubbing something like anime, usually just want to add an English track and push it out the door, so there's not as much emphasis.

Also, as a last note: superior is down to taste. Just because one way sounds better to me, doesn't mean someone else can't find a different sound better.

Well that's something that we both agree together, it doesn't matter what superior people can do good or bad jobs in whatever roles they do. It just that it takes time to prepare it. Superior doesn't mean a thing but we all messed accordingly.

To Baru:

I think they are all rivalry but for Vic and Travis, they do have speaking terms against each other. Some one told me that Travis said about disclosing some stuff about Vic and being with him overall. But that's their private lives overall. I do still believe there is rivalries between VA's or possibly dubbing studios as well.

That's kind of a dumb comment considering that "learning" a Kyoto accent won't help anything. The reason Kyoto accents are translated as Southern ones is because accents in Japan work differently than in English speaking countries. There's no way of translating that exactly, so the Southern accent is used to show the difference. Another example is Ami Mizuno from Sailor Moon. In Japanese, she spoke with an Osakan accent, but in the dub, she was given a British accent.

How can you say it's dumb when VA's want to learn accent's that crap was totally out of line. It's just takes practices and it may grow into. Dubbers would learn what the Japanese even If they did it for homework. Yet, I blown out of this Shizuru Southern accent thing out of proportion. I hope they could get a better VA's Una Shamrock (previous headmaster) because they would use her voice as Southern accent as well. *rolls eyes*!:eyespin:

That's kind of crock right there man, If you watched alot of dubs in your life, probably you heard an English VA done a Kyoto accent but stay off from closer to a Texan one. Bluewater did it wrong, Dubbing should take form every time this happens, I'm sure dubbers would learn once and just look back to think I may have pulled it off but deep down you need to do it better. Effort makes talent and practice makes perfect. That's what it takes to become a better voice and stage actor.

Japanese accents are mainly based on pitch, not pronunciation.

And since we're complaining about stuff like that, why is it that the Japanese don't try to make characters from England sound differently from Americans when they use random English in anime?

Though it should be noted that Shizuru's dub accent isn't a traditional Southern accent, it's a variation that follows along the lines of a "Southern Belle"-esque style, which is a more proper and refined type of Southern Accent, formerly used by those of the upper class in the Old South in the past.

Though British probably would've worked as well, I believe they did select this accent with Shizuru's character personality in mind.
I personally think her dub voice came out well... :heh:

You know, I watched Sifr again the other day, and I'm more convinced they are planning on making a prequel sequel. There is just too much they introduced, hints, that are left unresolved.

- Lena's mother; both the argument between Lena, and the fact that Lena had a super meister gem

- Lena's HiME-like mark (almost looks like Lena was an experiment to make a real hime)

- The ending lines about Lena's power leading them into another adventure

But there's more than that, I noticed a few other things:

- Young Reito says something about Shiro, hinting that there is something about him

- Why include the Artai guy and his Otome Sakura? They didn't add anything to the plot, and appeared to either know something, and/or have a plot of their own

- And something I just noticed: Sakura's Otome robe looks a LOT like Arika's pink Otome robe. I wondered why the Blue Sky Sapphire gave Arika a pink outfit, and so I'm wondering if something like this happens:

Lena's mother being a scientist that helped "create" Lena. The next story has Lena learning about her powers, something happens to the Blue Sky Sapphire like it gets damaged, and Sakura gives her gem to help repair it or something. Thus, creating the pink mode that Arika later uses.

It would explain why Arika has two materialization modes; because the Blue Sky Sapphire gem has a normal meister gem within it as well.

You know, I watched Sifr again the other day, and I'm more convinced they are planning on making a prequel sequel. There is just too much they introduced, hints, that are left unresolved.

- Lena's mother; both the argument between Lena, and the fact that Lena had a super meister gem

- Lena's HiME-like mark (almost looks like Lena was an experiment to make a real hime)

- The ending lines about Lena's power leading them into another adventure

But there's more than that, I noticed a few other things:

- Young Reito says something about Shiro, hinting that there is something about him

- Why include the Artai guy and his Otome Sakura? They didn't add anything to the plot, and appeared to either know something, and/or have a plot of their own

- And something I just noticed: Sakura's Otome robe looks a LOT like Arika's pink Otome robe. I wondered why the Blue Sky Sapphire gave Arika a pink outfit, and so I'm wondering if something like this happens:

And this is why HiME/Otome connection is so far-fetched. I'm sorry I had to say this but this connection looks confusing and non-existent. But we all know that Sunrise is making kind of journal from Hisayuki-san said. I'm little too worried on how they would execute the story very well, since they put the replica of the Black Mountain on Otome blu-ray special. I'm very convince they'll make a new path instead of connection. I just hope we go through a shonen based generation to generation story with alot of realistic elements.

Why are there two different HiME marks shown, then? Mikoto had the normal one, so why did Lena have one that was similar? It looked like a cross from the Sears Orphan symbol and a HiME symbol, implying some artificialness. Also, Artemis was Alyssa's child, and appears to be Lena's child as well. Otome in general seem like an artificial way to create HiME.

Anyway, not saying they are related, just that there are hooks. My main point was that there has to be another prequel at least planned, because the Sifr OAV put in too many hooks that go unexplained.

The Sakura/Artai guy one, for instance. There is no reason to include them, except perhaps to hint that Sakura's pink robe becomes Arika's pink robe mode.

Of course, they have another Sequel after Zwei instead, and have Arika and friends find out things about the past instead.

Oh Lordy, like I said it just not even connected enough fact. Between the same Artemis child that Alyssa and Lena formed doesn't mean the same as a real HiME could. Now I'm really interested on Rena's mother that's the one thing I want to know. But still connection is non-existent, Hisayuki-san said that diary project still getting green-lit soon. I want to see a prelude to the upcoming saga or just a frickin one episode OVA.

Eh, Well yeah but still HiME and Otome are not connected unless they reveal it soon enough. Also I guess you didn't watch Otome, Zwei (sequel) and Sifr (prequel) in order. We all know that but were disappointed over the outcome. I just Otome never existed and you watched it than yourself would be disappointed too.

Ah, sorry I meant what happens to Lena after meaning, what happens after Sifr.

It's regarding to their birthmarks and astrological signs. Only I can remember from Mai has mark on her left brest, Natsuki bottom backside, Mikoto on her right shoulder, Akira just the same like Natsuki on upper backside. Akane in around her shoulder blades, Lena on her right breast. Haruka (first manga version) on her forehead. Yukariko on her neck, Yukino under her elbow, Shizuru under her waist.

wow.. and here I was trying to look for a place to give my thoughts on the series. I guess Asuki didn't have the system of having an 'Overall impressions' thread at the time (?)

First, let me say this; I've been watching anime for a while. I still remember when I got into it, and every other show was just so omgwtfbbq awesome, as most of them were top 50 ANN. Then there came a time where I used to be seriously obsessed with anime, and then my interest in it waned quite a bit, in favor of video games ( naturally, books and movies never lost their place..well.. maybe for a little bit). So here I was, with quite selective taste in shows, deciding to pick up Mai Hime, one of the most generic looking shows I'd ever seen. It didn't bother me as much as it would have normally, as I had just came back from Japan, and after having a long and interesting discussion with a Japanese friend on how the 'magical girl' genre came up, I kinda wanted to just soak in all the stereotypical stuff that was bound to be there.

And, I guess it was pretty damn stereotypical in many ways. Still, I got some laughs out of the first few episodes, and there was barely enough intrigue to keep me going. By the end of it (and mind you, it did pick up quite a bit in the second arc of the series ), I thought 'meh.. not too shabby, quite run of the mill though'. Though really, after letting it simmer a bit, the show really was quite good by the end of it. I loved how the relationships started breaking apart, maintaining a slightly odd 'doki doki' atmosphere. Got quite epic too. I liked the characters, least of all the lead though. So, I'd originally thought this show was a 7/10. But I'm going to give it 8/10, just because theres something nostalgic and old school about it, and has a little more edge and less fan service than a lot of stuff thats out there today. A solid starter show, certainly not up there with the likes of say, FMA, but not bad, and worth the watch, because it is quite famous, and it really is quite a good showcase of 'magical girl'.

My biggest complaint? The most interesting HiMes ( oh, you guys know EXACTLY who I'm talking about :naughty:), were not revealed till much later. Really, out of the 3 leads, only Natsuki was kinda cool. Otherwise, the less.. goody two shoes.. HiMes really stole the show, emphasizing just how fragile relationships can be.


Oh and another thing. I think being slightly familiar with Japanese mythology will make a huge impact to this show. Once you know the meanings and stories behind the names, it becomes so much more interesting, because it kinda becomes the authors take on the stories and the characters in them. I definetly enjoyed that aspect. At any rate, its worth researching once the show is finished, as I'm not sure how you'd get to know not having watched the show without researching each and every HiMe. Also the story makes x10 more sense as well then.


Finally.. what did HiMe stand for? Highly advanced materalizing equipment? or something along those lines. Absolutely retarded. They should've just left it as plain HiMes (even if it was only in the OP!)

I'm saying the need for acronyms as far as Hime is concerned is unnecessary. Materializers doesn't work because it references Mai-Z-Hime: Otome, and if viewers haven't seen it, it would go over their heads. It should be Hime, no acronym. since we're discussing the original.

No. Are you in any way affiliated with the Mai series, know any secret news events and meetings for any upcoming and future projects that is related? No. That's why people are fed up with you because you tell them there will be this huge Hime event at a certain date, then when it doesn't happen, they get angry at you from giving their hopes up.

Indeed. At any rate, till an official announcement is made, no reason to cause any stir. In fact, even if there is one, you don't know. Look at Suzumiya Haruhi, ( a series that is objectively far superior, and possibly as popular), and how long it took to get disappearance out, even after it was announced. On the other hand, InuYasha got closure, even after the show was long dead and gone. If I'm not mistaken, even Ah! My Goddess is getting another OVA. Bottom line is, if it happens it will happen, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Especially because, the shows in this series all had closure, and full endings. There is nothing to wrap up. Might as well leave it while its good and succesful if you ask me, instead of flogging an already dead horse. Still you never know, its just better to move on to other things, and leave the good as good, and if something comes up, all well and good.

This thread (and sub-forum) needs to go into retired.

Vicious is speaking for the fans that are fed up with you and have left the board, she hasn't had the chance to meet you and be angry with you yet. Yet you still continue to say that "There's a special Hime event in Valentine's Day!" Which is rubbish.

You're not worthy of fans trying to ban you, they simply won't reply or discuss anything with you, or else, Hell, they go to another forum altogether. And V's right, don't expect when you say "We check the site every time" that every fan thinks exactly the way you do. Don't speak for all of us. Speculating is not " There will be a Hime super duper special event in such and such a time!" I told you this back in the day and you threw a tantrum over it. You don't listen.

I'm really looking forward to make amends with you and everyone
Sorry, you won't be getting my sympathy, Highman. I thought you were a troll at first then you explained yourself and I thought you were nice then. And on the other board people said you were a jerk, so I had to see it with my own eyes. Reading your posts I have to say they were right. You have a poor attitude, Highman, and I would like to discuss Hime, but not with you.

That's fine, I don't have a problem about it!

The only thing that keeps my hopes is the fact that there is a new ongoing manga, though it doesn't seem to be tha popular.

But it is better than nothing :D

I still can't forgive sunrise for fake trailer =/
Really, he had an idea so why had he never used it?

That sure was fast 0_o

Thanks for the link -reads-

Ok... that sure was anti climatic... looked more like a bad-rushed fan fic... if I didn't know original story, I wouldn't care for the cast at all...

Agreed. I'm considering dropping the manga altogether, and move on to other ones, or if the adapt it into anime.

You preferred Original story or AU world ?

If they will ever decide to animate EXA manga, I hope they will change it as well as with original anime.

You said EXA sucked badly, we are interested of an true sequel HiME or retelling for the first original. First series was not bad, kinda thought EXA was going to be AU route around more exploration about the HiME and Fuuka's connection. Thankfully Sunrise said, okay AU stuff isn't going to work in the certain alienation of our fans.

Translation would be nice. Just a party? Or was new stuff actually announced or hinted at?

She's been to every announcement and party/function related to hime. Unfortunately she hasn't been on in a while. I'll inquire from my other source from my other board and will let you know, I'm assuming it's just a party, though.

With Google chrome auto translation, it appears to be a valentines themed party with a discussion and a bit of singing.

ps: aw, newest thread update is a month old post. I was confused for a sec.

Maybe but I see yuri undertones all over the place, it is also a shonen as well but it isn't not a battle series.
