Yeah, that is one of the things I have been curious about the Hime anime too. I mean in the manga it's told that both parents died, but the anime is confusing. In episode 5 Mai has a flashback where she goes to the hospital to pick up Takumi, but the nurse tells her that her dad picked him up already. Did he die later on? Btw, i'm still confused, maybe I just don't know that much about the Japanese culture, but if Mai's parents died, how could she go on supporting herself and Takumi by themselfs at such a young age? I mean wouldn't they have to go to an orphanage or something?

Are Coral Robes capable of flight? I assumed that they weren't because in episode eight our four main Corals are cleaning the walls of the mausoleum and are hanging from ropes over the side...but they are in their Robes. Yet, in the final episode, after everyone gets their Robe granted by Miyu and the Administar, all the Corals come flying to help stop Nina's advance with the Harmonium. If Coral Robes can fly and hover, then why bother with the ropes while cleaning... It's not like they are going to fall.

Firstly, Corals are "Otome in training" so we can assume that they aren't allowed to do some things until they reach appropriate level. Just like a soldier who can carry a gun but can't use it.
Secondly, the whole cleaning thing was a punishment If I were to punish those cute Otomes I would make them hanging there naked |

Hmm. An interesting question.
I think they normally can't. In the first episode, Nina, with her Robe activated, fell out of the airship-thing with Arika and Mashiro, and there was no indication that she could fly even alone, much less after catching them. Only Arika's GEM managed to temporarily slow down the fall. And in episode 3, Arika had to rely on the extensible "straps" at the back of the Robe when holding the airship-thing. I think it's safe to say that Coral Robes can't fly at least in the "normal" mode of operation. Perhaps there are some kind of limiters that are ignored in the Administar-powered "unrestricted" mode. |

I was wondering with a friend what is blatantly fanon in the Hime/Otome universe. We collected few, silly, things, maybe someone could name others.
Like: Mai being the one with the biggest breasts (wrong, from the character sheet, that one is Haruka), Natsuki don't liking onions (I read it in countless fanfictions and I still don't know why...), Nagi being a midget (while he's as tall as other characters with his same age, like Takumi), Nao being a bitch (a real one, I mean )... Others? |
