Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Haha, I was talking to Kefit about how Static had caught up earlier this week and wondered aloud to him if there would be a race between them and DoReMi.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Doremi is terrible.
They screw up the subs, they have unnecessarily large file formats, and they forget to translate a lot of stuff. In 23, they didn't even translate the title. I only got theirs because they released Saturday night so I could watch before work. Then they slacked off and released Sunday, which was too late =/ Doremi for time, Static for keeps. ~Squeek |

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Originally I was going the same route, but after they offered us at AnimeHaven their Otome translator for when we do Galaxy Angel II I started keeping theirs as well out of respect.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Hmm.
Looks like this show is heading for a Kiddy Grade-esque "fun" final battle. I expect to see lots of random special attacks from the 341251 meisters that will be participating, and for no one at all to die. I really can't see any other way they could give everyone meaningful screentime in the two episodes left. Better yet, I should actually enjoy this as long as I go into it with the right mindset. Best of all, Shiho is missing from Gaurdarobe and has with her the Spiral Serpant gem. The appearance of Meister Shiho in the last episode, even if only for a short time, would redeem this show from many, many things.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
She's going to appear no matter what because the only time you've ever seen her in a robe was during the survival test.
That and she needs to pull some badass moves like she did at the end of HiME =\

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
There are OAVs announced for Otome.
Maybe they couldn't fit in all the story they wanted to? Well, let's hope Static is on-time tomorrow. ~Squeek Last edited by Squeek; 04-2-2006 at 05:40 PM.. |

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
WHERE IS MY SUB DAMMIT.
I was actually hoping they'd sub it faster/earlier since it was the finale and that alot of people are looking forward to it. And I don't want to watch the raw because that would most likely piss me off due to the lack of subtitles. SHINSEN. DOREMI. WTFUX

It's twice the job, you know.
And I dunno why you're mad at Shinsen. >_>

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Exactly why I watched the raw. This wait would be killing me.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
I got the parody one for fun, but I am certainly not going to watch it until after I've seen the properly subbed one... ><

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Yeah so I gave up and watched the finale raw =\
There were alot of parts where I didn't totally understand what was going on though, guess I STILL have to wait for Doremi to get their sub out.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Go grab the Your Mom releases for 25 and 26 that are out on Tokyotosho. They are perfectly fine, and the random subber's notes actually made me laugh from time to time.
Anyway, this went EXACTLY like I predicted it would in my last post - a generally light hearted, completely over the top final battle. Well, I didn't see the layltastic S-Cry-Ed final battle up in space coming. But that involved Arika and Nina, and no one gives a **** about them. Meister Shiho ftw Meister Akane with cat ears for no reason ftw Meister Maria ftw LOAD SILVER CARTRIDGE ftw Haruka in general ftw Irina doing all the work ftw (god dammit she needed to go meister :<) wtf Fuuka Academy under the lake ftw Of course, now this world is full of super beings without contracts to keep them in check. I have to wonder what is going to stop them from taking control of everything >_>

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Perhaps.
I bet the OAVs are going to be fairly comedic in nature given their short length, though (four episodes). Anyways, this was a fun show. Parts of it (well, pretty much everything involving Arika of Mashiro) were cheesy to the point that I could barely watch it, but aside from that things were pretty good. It's not going to go down in my mind as a great series, but certainly an enjoyable one.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
Generally speaking the anime was good, but there are still too many things that go unexplained.
Sergey goes from looking similar to Tate, to looking EXACTLY like Tate at the end + a scar. There needs to be a link to Mai. Because in the previous episodes when they talked about the fire string ruby myth they show Tate getting taken away from Mai. The multiple mikoto cats went totally unexplained. Why the **** was Fuuka Gakuen at the bottom of the sea/ocean? Does this mean Miyu in Otome is the same as the one found in HiME series? What the **** is up with Miss Maria? I KNOW there's an OAV coming out, but it seems to me like they tried to hide a bunch of stuff behind all the crazy action going on. I liked the ending, but I just felt that they didn't explain enough, or develope certain aspects of the story. Time to go grab the your-mum sub and see if it might've just been me missing a ton of stuff.

Re: 舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)
As Squeek said, perhaps we will get more explanation in the OAVs. At this point I think that Miyu is the same Miyu from HiME, and that this planet is indeed Earth. Some sort of world destroying catastrophe occured between HiME and Otome, and the Otome world is what came out of it.
More details would be nice, but I don't think they are totally necessary. On a side note, I really don't like any of the new robes that showed up in these last two episodes. Akane and Shiho's were hilarious initially, but looking at them again all I can think about is how utterly ridiculous they look (I'm more happy about the fact that they went meister and were useful than their robes, though). Nao's SPIDERWOMAN robe was pretty stupid too. Maria's was decent, although boring. Nina's final robe of harmonious doom was meh at best. Heh, I remember back to when art of Shizuru's meister robe first leaked out, before the first episode even aired. Everyone thought it was the coolest thing ever. I just wish that all of these later robes could have lived up to it.
