Arika's family might just be in possesion of some unknown power they haven't explained yet. I think their are just as many evidences in otome to disprove it being connected to Mai-Hime as their are to prove it. My belief is that the Himes and Childs in otome might be different from HiME. Unless sunrise does something to connect the 2 like some sort of OVA.

Eventually I don't want be in thread but I have my say on this though, man it's been two years and it's still kicking. Well time to drop kick this thread back the life.
Since the whole HiME/Otome connection was a real turnout back in 2005-2008 and everybody was interested on how this would go out but apparently no one haven't figure it out or just seems farfetched in the first place.
I think for us anime fans entirely that a lot of originals shows that have sequels entirely is a result of sometimes pressures by fans and even peer decisions by people who expect a great franchise. To me I think it's just the hype can get this franchise sidetracked and really it has been sidetracked since the last episodes of HiME and possible that PR decision played a role heading on making Otome including "The Big Bang Project" that everyone though this would benefit the franchise but apparently failed big time.
Now I don't want to be negative on this but franchise/saga has great potential indeed. HiME EXA's manga is out and sales have been gone good lately and I hope it will be long manga series including the saga for the anime soon. But I think they should start anew story for original HiME saga and make it more awesome than a interesting storyline without the Otome connection.
In my evaluation in understand HiME/Otome connection, in reality it's not happening but since Otome blu-ray picture drama special, it already seen it.
