What fans want is not a sequel to HiME, what fans want of for Sunrise to stop jerking us around and start answering some of the damn questions they keep making with Otome. Another HiME wouldn't answer any of the Otome fans questions about Otome. Now what I can see as a sequel is one focusing on the time-gap between HiME and Otome (assuming the two are linked, of course). However, this would not mean seeing the HiME cast again. A sequel focusing on the time-gap would be situated much further into the future, with perhaps at most Miyu and an older Alicia, and even Alicia is questionable. |

Hehehe... now, now, don't get so divided between HiME and Otome!
I'm not talking about either one of you, Highman and Keroko, but I'm speaking in general. There have been cases where fans of the franchise are either pro one and anti the other but hey, cool down! As someone who loves the franchise as a whole, I say that both HiME and Otome are as good as the other. Do I like HiME better? Yes. But do I say that HiME is a better series than Otome just because I like it better? No. Both series are special in the own way as I mentioned time and time again. That's my point of view on this whole situation! >:] |

Heh, I'm more of an anti-anti-Otome myself.
Well, that, and as a writer I find blind statements saying 'the should make a HiME sequel' without thinking through how hard it is to make a sequel to a closed story come off as believable slightly irksome. Not enough for me to comment on, but when it's followed by 'instead of [insert derogatory comment] Otome' I get irked enough to start poking holes in peoples bubbles. I mean, I'm all for a HiME sequel, but I want a believable one. Simply reviving the HiME star and giving them back their powers so they can fight enemy X sounds ridiculous. The story of Mai and the HiME is closed, they've lost their powers and are living a happy life. No need to drill a hole in that when we have many more plotlines that can be addressed. Of course, the downside about this is that it would feature only a few of the HiME cast at most, which would probably not satisfy a lot of the fans. |

In my speculation on this, HiME will be back on top once again and Sunrise must accept this or lose the fans credibility.

Why not focus on one of the many different plotlines in HiME? Like SearS? Would create a far more believable story. Quote:

So they need to accept your speculation even though their numbers tell them an opposite story? |

Its okay for fans within the series to debate but I'd like to see a friendly discussion and not one where HiME fans and Otome fans start insulting one another just because one shares a different opinion from the other. An example would be on MAL (MyAnimeList) where fans within the series seem to be divided between Mai-HiME and Mai-Otome. I'm afraid to say that its mostly the HiME fans who are like this. They say stuff like 'Mai-HiME is better than Mai-Otome' followed by 'I seriously don't see anyone who thinks the opposite' which will be followed by '[insert random username] thinks the opposite' and thus, making that Otome fan look like a dumbass. As for me, I like the series as a whole so I like everything that Sunrise has given us within the franchise, be it anime, manga, games, novels and what not. So I feel that I just need to restore 'peace' between HiME and Otome fans since I like both series. But I do know I can't change people's opinions. But just keep the discussions friendly! ^_^ Last edited by KongZilla; 2009-10-03 at 07:08. |

Searrs, they would fail again, If they really care for the resources enough and fight against any faction that stands in their way and yes I wouldn't be shocked, If they want a strong golden millenium for their organization and no they are not going there on HiME and Otome connection, BS and totally stupid. I see them lose to by the hands of the Japanese. HiME was opened enough, Otome not even close by a long shot too much of that crap then your mind is plaging you all their incest. Bloodlines, The Gifts of Childs, Plus new administar and new powers everything, just play the cards and you get what you need at the end a great sequel trilogy in your hands....................look I'm working with someone on fanfiction that I see some potential on this one and willing to help this to become successful, If your interested PM me back man!

I think the fact that they had to fight one another was an intresting twist. Plus when you think about it, they were protectors in a way. In order to protect the world from the hime star, they had to risk the lives of the ones most precious to them.

Yeah, but the real story is that they were protectors instead of fighting each other, unless we have a reason why they want to fight each from the first place, I really think HiME are protectors just from the beginning. I think that HiME star was destroyed freed from the sacrifices of the important person anyway. I still HiME needs a continuation, no matter what. Having to fight against each other wouldn't solve anything. Besides more evil is yet to come for the HiME's

I agree for the most part but I still wish they expanded on the Searrs, District One and Iwasaka thing a bit more. It seems like a good potential for a plot or for a sequel but with the HIME star actually gone, I don't know how it is going to happen. Otome has a good potential for more sequels and prequels but with the story as convoluted as it is and the glaring plot holes that involve Mikoto, Fuuka Building and Miyu herself, I don't know if Sunrise is actually thinking of an overall plot for Otome. What was Otome attempting to be at first? A school comdey? War drama? Or what? I wish I knew but nevertheless while Otome may have potential for sequels even more so than Hime, I cannot help but feel that it wouldn't feel all that planned out considering what was suppose to happen and what we ended up with in Sifr.

Personally, and I saw this mentioned before in this thread, but I think what would be the coolest and most reasonable thing they could do with the HiME-verse would be to make a prequel. I think the series felt pretty closed, so a sequel seems pointless, but I'd like to see the prior carnival played out.
