舞-乙HiME (Mai-Otome)

[Moogy]

ps putting japanese in thread titles makes u cool

[jamuko]

Of course, we only make media threads to garner cool points!

But really, at the time of posting I wasn't entirely sure if the romanized name was even correct or not, since the Japanese spelling is weird. So I left it.

On-topic, 16 was supawexome and like everyone else said, I can't wait for the explosion next week. The new OP took me by surprise... I like how it starts for some reason, nicely blending with the episode.

I want to know wether Mai falls into the category of good guy or bad guy.

EEEEK. I want episode 17, now.

[Squeek]

I like how they ditched the crappy intro for a better one and kept the awesome ending.

Most animes will ditch the ending for a new one at 13 and replace both for the second season at 27 (if it goes that far).

PS I had it a long time ago too.

17 is out by a new sub team - Farfetched.

Watching now to verify the quality of the subbers.

Edit: 1 minute in:

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS SUBBER

I can't even watch it just to see what happens. That's how bad these subs are.

~Squeek

[YungYung]

the subbers are HORRIBLE. But it's pretty much MEANT to be horrible.

So basically I watched through the entire episode while completely ignoring the subtitles, and I was able to understand pretty much everything that happens.

WHEN DOREMI COMES OUT, WATCH THIS EPISODE MOTHER FUCKING IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE WAAAAAYYY TOO MUCH CRAZY SHIT HAPPENS.

Best. Episode. Ever.

[Squeek]

I knew it was a parody sub. That's why I said not to get it.

I guess that's why animesuki didn't link to it while anime-source did.

Still waiting for Doremi. They're way late.

[Kilgamayan]

DoReMi has been working on more important things, like Kashimashi 3.

I'm sure they'll release something in the next 24.

[Omegix]

Subs are out, I win.

[buuuh]

DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS

o

17 is out 8)

[Kilgamayan]

See?

[Squeek]

It was too late after all.

I have work tomorrow. I wanted to watch before bedtime =(

Also, the crapsub was deleted off of all the sites that said it was out. Good riddance.

gj otome you've managed to pique my interest before i lost all hope

Now on to the not-obvious plot twists please.

[Kilgamayan]

#D4E2ED if you want to do spoiler quotes.

It's a shame that pretty much everything spoilerific was rather obvious, although I still believe that Mashiro is the real queen. Rena could have pulled off some elaborate switch way back then. I do wonder why Nagi is actually actively taking an antagonist role this time around. I figured his sole purpose in the Mai universes was to annoy Mashiro and cause a general nuisance without being evil per se, but it looks like he's going the bad guy route, especially since an Aswad face turn seems imminent.

Aoi needs to reveal herself as an Otome already.

I also think there's more to the end than what one sees at first glance. Natsuki running into street-clothes Nao for no apparent reason and then them both randomly wandering in on the fight at the end have to be significant at some level, especially since Nao is from Artai and thus would end up fighting for Nagi if she did anything at all. If the presence of a Coral wasn't important they would've used Shiho since she's the only Coral who holds no signifigance (as Chie is tied to Aoi).

Now on to the not-obvious plot twists please.

Yeah my thoughts exactly.

ps Kilga I agree with pretty much everything you said, although I'm hesitant to label Nagi as the EVIL BAD GUY. I think he has his good reasons to be doing what he is doing.

Oh, and while this episode was awesome, it has made me give up on any real hope I had of something significant being done by any of the characters that I actually like. Oh well.
