Hmm, since I have not completely finished Otome, I shall only mention HiME since I know the scenes better in that one anyways >_>
Mai-HiME: - All scenes with Natsuki, Midori, and Nao :] - When Natsuki tries hitchhiking (that scene is love <3 I had to reply so many times over lol) - When Midori first shows off her element/child to Mai, Natsuki, and Mikoto - When Midori breaks up the fight (all drunk-like) in the alley with Nao and the other three girls - The Cake Wars episode (mainly when Natsuki and Nao keep arguing) - The Karaoke episode (got to love Natsuki and Nao teasing each other when they dress-up and sing) - The whole Shizuru/Natsuki relationship taking a turn for the worst (Shizuru going psycho and their final battle)

I haven't seen Mai-Otome yet (soon!), so I'll just list Mai-HiME:

I did like how the story wrapped itself up in the final episode (no, the reset button didn't bug me, I thought it was well planned out and actually was integrated into the story without any Deus Ex Machina. Plus it would have been WAY too brutal to leave everyone dead...), but I just wish the execution of that last episode was a bit more serious and dramatic, and that they could have withheld the cheesy silliness until the "epilogue" part (and then it can get all silly, that's fine with me, that's what epilogues are for. ). Oh well, the interaction between Mai and Mikoto near the end of the big battle was really touching. I do wonder how Alyssa was returned to life, though, because if you think, she was the only HiME that actually died from a real mortal injury. It might have been a bit more bittersweet if Mashiro couldn't bring her back because she really died from a real injury... As it was, I guess Joseph Glear was the only real casualty of the series, heh... Ciao! |

As for the Alyssa thing, I think it's safe to say that mashiro's powers extended from just reviving the MIPs and she was also able to revive Alyssa who was probably a wandering spirit(just of theory of mine)

For me it was exactly the contrary, since I found extremely weird that Reito (even if possessed by the Obsidian Lord) could almost successfully beat the crap out of Tate, who was a kendo student and was wielding the sword of Miyu. For a moment I thought that his normal katana should break for the impact. Anyway, as you said before, that was a powerful moment in the anime, and one of my favorite too. I mean... I waited for 25 episodes for those two to get together, and for Tate to finally find a way to help those he loved |

Me too, actually, also because, as you said, she died as a normal human not dissolved into green sparkles.
And I do not think that those of the First District got the "reset", they probably staid dead, making Shizuru the only Hime who actually killed someone. |

I think you're right about First District... They all kinda got pretty much the "pink slip" the hard way, and I don't think they were supposed to really be around afterwards. Oh well, they killed Natsuki's mom, so they got their payback. I tallied up the "HiME body counts" too, Mikoto actually won that one, although she was pretty much possessed by her ani-ue at the time. Mikoto - 3: Shiho (Tate - sadness!), Fumi (Mashiro's "doll"), Midori (her professor sweetheart) Shizuru - 2: Yukino (Haruka), Nao (Nao's mom) Natsuki - 2: Shizuru (kills herself which also kills Shizuru for the double-KO!) Yukariko - 2: Kills herself (herself and Ishigami) Shiho - 1: Akira (Takumi) Mai - 1: Alyssa (Alyssa's dad) Alyssa - 0 (unless you count the bridge, which pretty much got vaporized) Nao - 0 Midori - 0 Yukino - 0 Fumi - 0 Akira - 0 [Miyu - 1: Akane (Kazuya)] [JGlear - 1: Alyssa herself] Of course, IMHO Mai was by far the most powerful of them all, but she only took out Alyssa's child (and Kagutsuchi even kinda did that on his own accord). Heh, good thing she wasn't an evil Mai, she coulda easily racked up all 12. Throughout the whole series, as far as my opinion goes, Mai only did something really cruel once, and that was when she told Mikoto to go away. And that one act was pretty much the one thing that caused her untold grief afterwards, and I don't think she even really meant it, either... Ciao! |

At least it's on the book

Well. My favorite parts/scene/episodes:
Mai-Hime: *When Natsuki have no lingerie on, and the wind blew her skirt off. Takeda saw it, and he went nosebleeding. XD hahahahah! I really laughed so hard at that part. *When Natsuki commanded Duran to blast off Kiyohime, and when Natsuki and Shizuru are vanishing. that scene somewhat moved me. *Mai-Shiho fight. I feel pity for Shiho instead. Well, kinda true, Shiho fell inlove with his "Onii-chan" first. hahahah. *The cake exam. Fumi displayed her abilities as Mashiro's maid, and it's cool! Especially knocking Mikoto off using a spoon. :P *When Tate protects Mai with Miyu's sword. (The Marie) How sweet! Especially when he said out loud that he loves Mai. XD *The final fight. Especially Mai's final dance, with the background music on it. Mai-Otome: *When the star of guidance turned red, and all of the otome's are freed from the certification, especially the background music! (i downloaded that music right away after seeing that scene.) *When Miss Maria has shown her robe. Natsuki, Arika, Mashiro, and Mai (there's no shock at Mikoto's face at all.) got shocked when they saw Miss Maria. *Sounds weird, but, when Shiho is doing her "maki-maki" or spiraling, her chants made me laugh. It almost choked me (sounds exaggerated, but true.) when she appeared at episode 25, when the two slaves got "maki-maki-ed" by her. *When Haruka tried to materialized, but unfortunately, she's isn't certified yet by Yukino, and fell from the cliff instead. hahahahah. *When Akane fight with her Pearl robe. Really touching episode. *The episode of Arika and Nina, when Arika found out about Nina's weakspot. hahahah. Nina looked kawaii when being tickled by Arika. Mai-Otome Specials: *Natsuki's episode! It's really hilarious! hahahah! *Maya Bryce, Akane Soir and Kazuya Krau-xeku. I'm so surprised that Maya's like that. hahahah. *Aswad. Midori's been got by Mikoto! How funny! And the scene that Midori's so shocked that Mikoto dodged her attack. Especially, the materialization scene of Mikoto! XD *Shiho's spiraling. That's one of the Mai-Otome specials that gave me a burst of laugh. hahahahah! Last edited by Cake-kun; 2008-07-19 at 07:17. |

OK. Now I'm done with Otome, so I can give my favorites from that one.
I kinda really felt for Nina. She clearly didn't have the same ability Arika had to just ditch tradition and duty to do "what was right", but she clearly wasn't an evil sort. The inner turmoil combined with the forced stoic facade as her guilt almost ripped her apart was pretty evident and painful to see. She was forced to do all sorts of terrible things by her father and her master, but in the end instead of shrugging it off as "just following orders", she chooses to live the rest of her life atoning for what she had done, which in the end is the more honorable choice, I believe.

Being a big fan of the franchise, there is too much for me to list, way too much...
I would say the most epic scenes for me would be when the HiME crew went for a karaoke party and when Natsuki tries to hitchhike. But I say that its good they meet people they know rather than people who they don't know at all. Also, any moment with Mai X Mikoto or Mai X Tate are great for me ^_^ |
