I didn't like the power gap between the Children. Mai's Kagatsuchi, Mikoto's Miroku and Shizuru's Kiyohime were in a class of their own. Natsuki's Child Duran got up to power of Kiyohime at the end as we know. Anyway, point being some of the children were just so much stronger than the other children.
lol, I did find it odd you can make another HIME your precious one. So, if Natsuki fought and beat Shizuru and defeat her without killing herself, she would still die since Shizuru's most precious one is Natsuki. That's crazy!
Anyway, I watched Mai Otome to 19. Instead of making a brand new topic, I'll just keep the conversation. Be helpful if somebody could change the title to Mai Hime and Mai Otome.
Well, not sure if I was going to like Mai Otome to start off since it's entirely different storyline, but after watching 19 episodes, I've really got into it, but it's still not as good as the orignal, but it's still a good series with basically all the old characters returning.
Most old characters make an appearance at some point of during the series. Even Reito returns, but he looks a bit different this time around.
Mashiro's character takes a big change from her original. While most characters from Mai HIME still maintain their basic character, Mashiro takes a 360 turn on her characters. She's selfish, bossy and pretty much a bitch to start the series off. Obviously, since she's the princess and soon be queen or should I say fake princess.
Nao seem the same as she use to be. She acts just like Juliet while she's using Otome. Nao's character seem self center and doesn't want to be bother by the problems of others and not be hassle by responsibilities. Nothing much changes with Nao.
Chie, the girl with glasses that was Mai's friend in Mai HIME. She's an Otome in Mai Otome, a high class one. Chie's role seem a little more important than in the previous one. Chie usually remind of a type yaoi male character holding a rose charming the ladies, except Chie a girl.
Shizuru stays just as awesome in Mai Otome.
You don't see Natsuki in action for a long time and it's short live. Hoping she get more action in the future.
Mai is gone, but she should appear some time in the future. She is in both openings and she looks absolutely over-power once again.
Midiro back! She seem like the only character that was a HIME that can summon her child; Gakuten'ou, out for battle.
Miyu back, too. Though, I think this is the same Miyu from Mai HIME. While they're storyline are completely different, I think the original Mai HIME happen a very long time ago from Mai Otome. Anyway, nothing much is explained about Miyu yet.
As I said earlier, Reito is back, but he's a cyborg. His body was weak and he had no choice to be turned into a cyborg. He looks very cool regardless. He's a cyborg of armor, so don't think you'll see a human looking Reito that's a cyborg.
Of course, there's also a bunch of new character. Mostly, all the character with little supporting roles in the previous series have more of up front in Mai Otome. Without a doubt, you should check this series out if you're into Mai HIME.
