This is super uber cool! Check out these great Mai Otome costumes from 399cosplayshop.com!! There are lots of great looking cosplay costumes from this site. There's even a Haruka Armitage Maid costume... which I thought would be quite rare to find. I wonder if they'll have a Shizuru Graceful Amethyst Meister costume or the Nina Wong Ultimate Black Diamond Robe. :):):)

There are a number of nice pieces in the Mai Otome OST. My favourite is "Hinageshi no Hana no you ni" from the 2nd OST. The piano segment towards the end was so heavenly!Unfortunately, I can't find any transcriptions of that piece yet. If anybody knows where I can get it, PLEASE PLEASE let me know!! I did find a scores for some other tracks though...CLICK TITLE FOR FULL ARTICLEJosh from http://

My long-awaited post on the finale episode of Mai Otome. Ya, I know it's been about a month since it was over. But it's my blog so I get to blog whenever I want to. So there. The finale of Mai Otome was a jaw breaking experience... I near fell off my chair to break my jaw on the floor. My eyebrows raised higher and higher with every passing minute of the Gundam deja vu scenes, from the

Here's why I took so long to blog... I've been having trouble trying to make sense of the pacing of Mai Otome in the past 3 episodes. One minute, they're fighting a death match in some graveyard. The next, they're playing hide and seek on some tranquil mountain. At the erratic pacing they were going, everyone was guessing that there was almost no way Mai Otome would end on ep 25. Until it came

Ep 17 was an exhilarating episode with everything happening at once. The invasion of Artai, the fall of Garderobe, Erstin's death and the drama between Arika and Nina. Just as suddenly, our heroines were thrown into the desert with a jam brake pulled on the plot advancement. Oh sure, they explained a few things but can't the storywriters like, explain faster and get on with the story already??

Ok, I finally have an answer to the long question about 'what's with the Mai Z HiMe'. According to Madhat3, the Z part is a prefix to the kanji word for 'woman' to mean 'virgin' or 'maiden'. Lucas says it's supposed to be pronounced as 'Oto' and hence by right the title should be 'OtoHiMe'. (Actually I think 'OtoHiMe' sounds much cooler than 'Otome')If anyone else has any input as to which the

OK, in that ep where Tomoe conspired to get the ruffians to rape Arika, we heard them commenting that Arika Yumemiya's panties were white (pure and beautiful Otome!) Well, anyway I bought the Arika figure from www.399animeshop.com (Because the figurine looks nice. NOT because I wanted to peek at her below. I'm a completely demure and respectable lady mind u) Guess what! The ruffians were right!

I knew it. Erstin was acting strange. Especially when she suspiciously did not snitch on Tomoe. Anyway, the moment Erstin summoned a Slave, we know she's going to be the first to die and the melodrama is about to begin. And die she did, HiMe style; where the molecules of her whole being evaporates into disappearing green particles. Don't anybody die the normal way anymore?? On retrospect, I

Apparently, there is a movie trailer attached to the Mai HiMe DVD. The trailer totally blew my mind away with clip after clip of kickass action. The title of the movie is called "The Great Fuuka Battle", and Yumemiya Arika appears to be the villian in the show.I was so jumping around in joy when someone points out the date at end of the trailer. 20006 Autumn. There's an extra 0 in the year!! Is

The new intro song unveiled in episode 16 is WAY cool! I was abit surprised at first when all of a sudden Mashiro comes on screen, kissing and activating Arika's materialisation. And Arika was wearing blue. Then, "oh it's a new intro". Great. It looks like the story is FINALLY about to pick up as the Otomes seem to be getting power ups and went shopping for some new clothes.CLICK ON TITLE FOR

It's wrong on every count to me. So now Nina and Arika, 2 very underaged girls like this 'middle aged man' and Sergey Wong seems to like Arika too! Either that or he was dutifully seducing her for Nagi. It all seems to scream Lolita Complex to me though.It's hard to be an OtomeUnless you're a true blue Lesbian like our dear Shizuru Onee-sama (Arika asks an innocent question if she was ever in

Check out another figurine from www.399animeshop.com. Mikoto's holding her sword! I am so fascinated with the amazing sword. Actually in terms of details, I think Arika and Nina's figurines are the best so far. It must be that cute uniform. Putting them side by side really looks cool! And it's quite rare to find these figurines too.

No, I'm not talking about this cat. Although I was quite amused that they made Mikoto literally into a cat. But Mikoto the Cat barely have the characteristics of Minagi Mikoto, who was more a wild and stray cat. But our dear Mikoto is far from being banished into a fat feline. Hints of her coming back soon (NOT as a yawning cat) was made in the earlier episodes when Mashiro and Arika sounded the

Click on title for full article.This is by now a famous cameo of Arika Yumemiya in Mai HiMe. Coming back to Mai HiMe after 10 over episodes of Mai Otome, it's refreshing to see Arika in the junior high uniform of the Fuka High School. Looking at the way she quickly prance on and off screen, the personality of the exuberant Arika seems to be existent in both the HiMe and Otome worlds.

Tokiha Mai and Tate Yuuichi's classmate, Nina appeared to sit infront of Tate and beside Mai. We never heard her talk but from that kind wholesome expression, she appears to have a totally different personality than in Mai Otome.

As dashing as ever, the ninja HiMe is back amidst a flourish of oriental drums flanked by a squeaky voiced eunuch. She's dressed up as a male once again. And she's gonna strip once again.
