舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)

[Squeek]

So like. Seems I'm always first on the new episodes.

5 is out. Stuff, once again, happens.

~Squeek

[jamuko]

It takes me hours to download things here -.-

Well, just watched it. I did happen to see something worth noting... look at the posters in the Otome fan store.



It sure is, and she's wearing an Otome uniform.

Episode 5 was pretty much filler, but still good.

[Kefit]

It wasn't really filler, as several important things happened (Arika recieving Sergei's support, and the revelation of Tomoe).

This episode was kind of a bust for character and relationship development though. Irina was fleshed out a bit, as was Nina and Nao's relationship, but everything else we saw was stuff we had seen in earlier episodes.

[jamuko]

Beat you this time! Haha!

Yeah, episode 6 is out. I'm working on acquiring it now.

[Squeek]

I had it about 4 hours ago >_> Only reason it took me so long was that I randomly decided to beat Sonic Adventure 2 again. From the beginning.

I'll watch it after work. One Piece dominates my anime-watching right now. Amazing, isn't it. 227 episodes and it still rocks.

Oh dear. Shiho attacks with TENTACLE MONSTERS this time. Too bad she was in crazy voodoo mode this episode though, as that kept her too over the top to give her actual character development.

Everyone else got some nice development though. And Nao is awesome. And scary. And she is only the fourth ranked pearl. This only adds to my desire to see Akane, Chie, and Shiho in action.

Judging from the next episode preview, it looks like next week's episode is going to be a serious one - I'm looking forward to it.

[Moogy]

Tentacular.

[jamuko]

7 is out >.>

Slowly getting it. I wish I could actually use BT here.

[Squeek]

The tracker was down earlier, so you're probably further ahead than I am.

Edit: Downloaded and watched. AWESOMETACULAR. Seriously the best episode yet. We get to (briefly) hear the new song related to "Mezame" for battle scenes, we see who I THINK is the true manifestation of Mikoto, we see Miyu, SO MUCH CRAP HAPPENS ASDF

~Squeek

[jamuko]

PE-SAN!!

Did anyone else notice the uncanny similarity? XD

Edit: Saw the rest. I agree with the assessment of it being muy AWESOMETACULAR. You can really see things starting to go somewhere now... this is great.

Also, that's just gotta be Mikoto. All signs point to YES! (I'm pretty sure that was her same voice, too. ) I knew she must have had a more important role than just a cat.

[Squeek]

8.

Good.

Watch.

~Squeek

Ps - Canary = Alyssa FTW. One might also assume that Alyssa as a Canary and Mikoto as a cat are linked somehow. asdf.

[jamuko]

Buwahaha!! I knew it had to be Alyssa!

Is it just me, or is Miyu's voice different? I haven't heard her original voice in a while, so I could be wrong... but it didn't sound quite right to me.

(Edit: seems it's just me >.> I watched a little MH to hear Miyu again, and it does sound the same. Odd, I guess I misremembered her voice. )

And whee, so Otome are still forced against one another, just like the good ol' HiME days. That's what made such great drama in the first one, and it did appear to be a repeating cycle, so it's good to see they aren't straying from that in Otome. You just know it's going to get really interesting again.

[buuuh]

Nine is out. It is awesome.

ps watch the preview for the next episode after it's over

[Squeek]

Blargh I have been owned.

Too much waiting for downloads to finish while playing Viewtiful Joe 2 and not enough camping AnimeSuki waiting for Doremi to finish.
