Doremi did the job

The days piling up
Locked away deep in my memory.
Unlike yesterday,
I'm standing firm right here.

The falling darkness
gently embraces everything.
The true meaning of that
which you swore to protect.

The stars spread out into the infinite distance,
I gazed at them many times;
I will never forget that night,
though I will never return to it.

I have lost nothing
Outflowing ENERGY
Hot, strong, sturdy
Even in a world without light
I can sense your voice
I search for only you

I don't think I've fully 'liked' one single costume in this show - maybe the camping clothes. Most of the time it's just different levels of hate heh. I think Rena's robe is probably my fave - Natsuki's one is alright too, if only she didn't have that ridiculous aerial sticking out her head.

Hopefully Tomoe has a dark robe (although I don't know how she'd activate it...) - the flight attendant one is still better than the average Coral and Pearl uniforms are.

Yeah wasn't keen on the angsty beginning or the cheesy ending - but I liked Nina materialising with that shadowy thingie, Midori and the Pillars and the Rena bit...

The song has grown on me a lot as well...

Copy.... Paste....Saves....Done!

Thx Mich666... are you sure these are all correct? Coz there MIGHT be mis-translations?

[Maceart]

Bah. There's always mistranslations until at least the official scans come along...

[phaerax]

I love this new op. OK, it reminds of gundam so much it really hurts, but the girls look so sweetly kickass that i had to rewind the op many-many times after watching the episode.
Someone suggested before in this forum that the title Mai-ZHime looks like a sort of a parody for Gundam Zeta. So more gundam parody? Maybe, or maybe they realized too that having a scene where Arika lands in a "Justice" kind of way and the whole sky is filled with explosions looks so irresistibly sweet!

PS: BTW great job Doremi with the karaoke! It looks gorgeous!

I corrected one or two obvious mistakes (should I say typos?) though I think some other still remains... But I think it is quite good translation ^_^

[NLTD]

I think I've fallen in love with this song, and have been listening to it continuously since I found the mp3 a few days ago

I prefer it to the first opener, I think I got bored of the first one :P

*wanders off singing to it in bad japanese*

It's not a secret, but it's policy to not talk about it here.

Either way, all you can find right now for Crystal Energy is the TV length. The single with the full length won't be released until February 22. Unless you are lucky to find a radio version of the full length song. But still it won't be as high quality as the CD itself.

[Tatiana Razajev]

The new opening is quite nice. I especially like finally being able to clearly see Mai herself in the opening. Now if only they could do something about the ending. The song is fine, but the ending animation is zzzzzzzzzzz so boring.

Yup the first thing I thought was Gundam SEED. I am glad other people thought it was Gundamish as well!

Nina gets the cover!? Owned! Friggen OWNED! Folks, thats enough of Arika's overly happy figure 'gracing' the front of things left right and centre, finally, we get some emotionaly unstable style on a cover!
