After rewatchign the new Crystal Energy OP, I can't help but see the similarities between some Otome and MS from the Gundam universe. Here are some I noticed.

Arika's Azure of the Sapphire Sky= Destiny Gundam. Huge Honking Sword.

Nina Pure Black Diamond= Legend Gundam. Based on OP, Nina's got her own DRAGOON system.

Shizuru Graceful Amethsty= The Tailgeese III, due to her chain whip.

Yukariko: Either the GM Sniper or the Zaku Cannon.

Nao: The Zeong maybe, finger beam weapons.

Anyone got anything else to add?

The title should be changed to MO/Other Sunrise titles parrellels.

The Black Colum with a mask : Vega/Vega 2 from the G.E.A.R Senshi Dendoh series, another one of Fukuda's fine works.

The 3 Corals with funky hair = The 3 Generals of the Machine King Army.

Mai = Kamen Rider V3. Scarf, Rider Kick, Spinning wheel belt. Sure, it's not Sunrise but still....

I dunno, I mean DESTINY's sword isn't anymore different than the other anti-ship swords which Strike, Daggers, and Impulse used. That and the sword is a double sword, not one long blade. Someone posted pictures to compare between Mai Otome and such and they compared OL's true form to her sword.

I must've missed this, she can send out bits?

And Artai's tanks look a little similar to the ABC's from Reboot (Those tanks that Megabyte uses)

More like Strike due to her current crisis....

What? Dragoons? Haven't seen that in Mo Op. Post a picture of it will you?

No screen catch feature, plus my comp's a bit wonky so not going to try. However, during the last scene in the OP immediately after Arika turns up into the sky, we see Nina with small black crystals flying around her.

Not sure if this means they act like dragoons, but they sure look like them.

warpshadow · 2006-02-05, 21:08

Erstin- Lalah sun or Nichol/Tolle if you have only seen Seed.

Um...those are shards of something or whatever they are. Their in various size too so Nina probably broke something.

More likely her robe...

ok I reviewed the op...

That bits were from the explosion from the slaves Arika destroyed with "Bolt from the blue"

Aww, for a moment I thought we just saw the first Mai Dragoon System.

Morisato · 2006-02-06, 01:08

Mai=Kira/Freedom (Rogue with power)

Natsuki=Athrun/Justice (Someone with high authority)

Tomoe=Lacus

Shizuru=Cagalli

Nagi=Dullindal

Slaves=Grunts

Otomes=Gundams

Sunrise made both.

Schneizel · 2006-02-06, 03:31

The only way Tomoe is like Lacus is their voice actresses...

Aegelward · 2006-02-06, 10:44

notice how haroko has the big ball on a chain

clearly its turn-a gundam

2H-Dragon · 2006-02-06, 11:46

Wow gratz at comparing a serie with 5 other one's. Why dont you go compare Naruto with others.

Naruto=every fighting serie male lead, because they have special powers!

Seriously why the hell are you comparing this every serie has something that looks like something in an other serie. -.-

Blaat · 2006-02-06, 16:13

The entire Erstin thing is definitly a Lalah Sune moment...after that I can't see that many similarities.

Schneizel · 2006-02-06, 21:11

Yeah okay I'm bored. I tried to make a crossover. I'll never actually write this as a fanfic or anything, but some of you might find it amusing.

Note: Yes, I switched the name of Garderobe to Gayrobe for this...

Gundam SEED Otome

Gayrobe Academy:
Kira Yumemiya: Owner of the Sky Freedom Sapphire (Arika)
Athrun Wong: Owner of the Penultimate Justice Malachite (Nina)
Lacus Marguerite (Tomoe) LOL VOICE ACTOR JOKE ; )
Meer Crochette (Miya)
Nicol Ho (Erstin)
Meyrin Helene (Yohko)
Shani Juliet (Nao)
Sting Hallard (Chie)
Shiho Huit (Shiho) LOL
Miriallia Soir (Akane)
Ssigh Woods (Irina)
Kuzzey Adean (Lilie)

Windbloom:
Prince/King Shinn Asuka de Windbloom (Mashiro)
Mayu the Kitten (Mikoto the Cat)
Auel Senoh (Aoi)

Aelis:
Dearka Chrysant (Yukino)
Yzak Armitage: Owner of the Duel Crystal Flux Diamond (Haruka)

The Five Pillars:
Murrue Viola: Owner of the Archangel's Cherry Rose Quartz (Shizuru)
Natarle Kuga: Owner of the Dominion Snow Flake Obsidian, Headmaster of the Gayrobe Academy (Natsuki)
Shani Juliet: Owner of the Forbidden Lapis Lazuli (Nao)
Orga [LOL LAST NAME]: Owner of the Verdant Calamity Emerald (Another Pillar)
Crot [LOL LAST NAME]: Owner of the Flamehaze Raider Garnet (Another Pillar)

Zipang/Jipang/Japan LOL:
Her Holiness Princess Stellar (Takumi)
Cagalli Okuzaki (Akira)

Aswald:
Lunamaria (Midori)
Rey (Reito/Rad) LOL VOICE ACTOR JOKE ; )
The Other Aswald Dudes: Miguel, Heine, Rusty

Random:
Tolle Caltreya (Kazuya)
Talia Steinberg (Yukariko)
Dullindal dai Artai (Nagi)
Patrick Wong (Sergai)
Lenore Sayers (Rena)
Char-sama (Shinso-sama/Fumi)
Fllay: Owner of the Pink Tourmaline (Mai)

Notes:
Lunamaria -> Midori and Meyrin -> Yohko:
Midori and Yohko have some past together. Yohko's appearance surprised Midori and like stopped her from attacking Natsuki. I find this parallel-ish to how Meyrin was like "Zomg no sis" near the end of GSD. Plus, Reito/Rad's voice actor is the same as Rey's, and Rey and Lunamaria were like the same side and then Meyrin was on the other one, so, yeah that works.

Miriallia -> Akane and Tolle -> Kazuya
Man it's obvious. Plus Tolle died in SEED and Kazuya "died" in HiME, but he 100% lives in the AU thing, so, yeah.

Druggies as the Pillars?
I don't know, lol.

Lacus / Meer -> Tomoe / Miya
Lacus as Tomoe is a voice actor joke because they're both voiced by Tanaka Rie. Miya is a phonetic joke because the way Meer is pronounced sounds similar to Miya.

Sting / Auel -> Chie / Aoi
Sting's dress makes him seem womanly (come on guys he wore a purple tube top) and Chie's dress makes her seem manly. Plus I am a sucker for Sting x Auel. D:

Cagalli as Akira
LOL CAGALLI AS A CROSSDRESSER. ; )

Starks · 2006-02-06, 21:19

We need photoshopped pics... NOW!

AssistantArinkoBully · 2006-02-06, 21:26

You forgot the uber ultimate villian. NAGI! Djbrill or Durande?

Bloody · 2006-02-06, 21:32

hmm... gud Idea ... we need pics or Captioned here

twh · 2006-02-07, 21:20

Even worse, you forgot Mwu La Flagga!! How could you forget Mwu La Flagga?!?!

Seriously, though, why just populate it with Seed guys?

What about the Zeta Cast?

Or even the original MSG cast?

A lot of them would fit perfectly here.

The angry-white boy Kamille Bidan and second banana Fa Yuirey as Haruka and Yukino respectively.

Though, I am a tad disappointed for Mai's double. Fllay "Mind so small ya can't see it" Allaster? 'Zeta era' Amuro would fit the mold much better, I think.

Though, I did note that you did pay respects to Char and for that, your sins are forgiven.

Schneizel · 2006-02-07, 21:50

My original post clearly stated in the title it was SEED and Otome, but someone decided to merge it here... Trying to find serious parallelism to all of Gundam != Joke Comparisons to SEED. Anyway... SEED was used it because it and HiME/Otome are both recent. Fllay was chosen for Mai because it's something you wouldn't expect and as I stated that was written for amusement.
