I have the greatest announcement upon my roaming on the internet!

http://www.tokyotosho.com/details.php?id=172406
Subbed: http://www.tokyotosho.com/details.php?id=176457

Enjoy and Lena Sayers, is excellent! I will miss this mini series since I liked the episodes before:

GOOD POINTS:

Action
Comedy
Drama
Effects BLOW OUT! I like them in this series!
Good mini series!


MY PROBLEM: each DVD of those suckers is like 50 or more $$$.

Adding "Happy end picture" Want to also add that the battle with M9 was Amazing! just great and the fan service........guys I read on posts wanted to see some nude things with Rena so no surprise they got it!

Agreed :)

Now just need to wait for the sub to come out in a day or two

Lena >>> Arika (not to mention Endo Aya = sweetest voice ever, love her CV role as Sherl Nome too!)

fanservice was a bit extreme imo... it was not very necessary ><

Lena does not need a master anymore to materialize LMAO :p
So it seems Arika still haven't muster all the power from her mother's gem?

Ms Maria is the new acting principle? lulz

*edit* well I watched a subbed version (non-English) and I am quite satisfied with the ending... (I wish they could have announced the next series at the end, but they never did ><)

they explained most of the mysteries from the earlier episodes (such as why Sifr is special)

I'd love a second season of HiME, but Otome is starting to feel kind of old. I didn't particularly like this ova, compared to the first season and Zwei.

Haruka. A lot of Haruka in action. :D And other characters as well. It wasn't great plot-wise, but it was a great bonus for those who wanted to see their favourite characters once more.

As for S.ifr, I didn't like it that much. I enjoyed Miss Maria's appearance, but I wanted to see her in a robe. I never understood Lena's popularity. She is an interesting character, a strong otome and so on, but I don't find her that attractive. Maybe if she were a main character of a longer series, I'd started to like her, but not after a short OVA. However, Bruce managed to catch my attention. I think, he is the best male character in all the Mai series.

I'd give to the third episode 4 of 5. It's very well balanced, but I hated the fanservice moment.

If this was from a guy, I'd think you're weird :P
But I can understand how the girls don't like the fanservice and like Bruce (I don't like Bruce ... Seregay was better for me)

1st season= Mai-HiME
2nd season= Mai-Otome (continue the Mai-HIME as this story is talking about the future of human, nearly extiction due to the war, then they're trying use Mai-Otome to control the power.)
3rd= Mai-Zwei (same continue the Mai-Otome)
4th= Mai-OSifr (the start of the Mai-Otome, as Lenna can use the power like Mai-Hime and her body also has the sign of the Mai-HiME, thus in my opinion i think that Mai-Otome actually is the continue of Mai-HiME.)

sorry, this is just my opinion. ^^

I agree
While it has been stated somewhere that they are not really related, there are plenty of hints that guide us to some conclusion that in fact they are related (at least in the manga for sure)

Oh, and I think the space fight was awesome. But For some reason I Liked the quick fight with the other 4 columns was the best. Nothing like that kick that sends someone into the side of a mountan in less then a second. AND you get to see it three times, from different angles! I can't stop watching it, ITS JUST SO COOL!

While it does seem that Arika still needs to unlock the full power of the gem. Rena's true power seems to come from something that is unique to her. When she was grabbed by her chest and thrown (and all you guy fans got that lovely fanservice shot). Some other power seemed to activate itself to save her, which is the same power she used at the very end to unleash some major damage on the other Otome(so would the plural be otomes??). She seems to refer to it as Artemis.

I want to know more about that. There was reference to there being another adventure at the end of this ep. Hint at a possible continuation involving Rena? I hope so!

Good 3rd episode to a nice OVA explaining some things and giving us Rena. I really wanted to see "the strongest Otome of all times" in action. I like her much better than I like her daughter, moreover as already said her CV is great.
Great and cool fighting scenes especially the last fight against the Otome. I just wished her materialization sequence would have had even more impact. Missed the cool music from the first episode. I have a weakness for magical girl transformation sequences. xD

I will give an 8, like I gave to the original series and ZWEI, though this OVA was better than ZWEI.

The new Mai-Hime series was announced quite some months ago. I am suprised many haven't taken notice of it. But I am not really sure if this will be something good. The wallpaper doesn't look that good and the new heroine looks not very promising. Well, we will see.
Anyway, I think there is a higher chance that we will get another sifr OVA then a continuation of the ZWEI OVA. They said somethign about another adventure which is another story. Moreover Rena still has to give birth to her daugther with Shiro and Sifr would have to marry Bruce to
(I think).

@kimmiechan: It was the Artemis system which is related to Miyu and the little bird we got to see. It has an appearance in Mai Otome (when Akira's sword turn gold in the first episode of ZWEI or last episode of the original series?) and even in My Hime, too. Anyway it seems to be able to force overwrite the gem's control mechanism to activate the robe without the master and even more enables to activate a higher order robe with more power.

So, My Otome is now 3/3 in kicking the bad guy's @$$ in outer space. I wonder if the director is a Gundam fan?

And way to go Lena! Talk about one hell of a suplex!

kaminakun said:

Agreed! Arika, Mashiro, Nina and Sergey were the TV series' shining stars. Nina was a spayed, boring character in Zwei without her relationship insecurities to compel her to do something with herself. Sergey was a mannequin in Zwei, and Arika and Mashiro were separated for the majority of it.

It was exciting to see all the Meisters in combat, there were some funny moments (especially in episode 2), and it was interesting to witness a few more token connections between My Hime and My Otome. Nothing really memorable about it though? My #1 take away from Zwei was "Storm", Ami Koshimizu's closing song from episode 2, which I now adore. :)

I'm left scratching my head over this situation. Shiro is a desert dweller and preaches Oba-sama's lessons just like Arika does but
Do I misunderstand something? Or maybe they're really thinking ahead and set this situation up intentionally to be sorted out in the sequel you already mentioned, LOL?

I like your review! Great explanation and I got one question for you:
Was the Artemis system implemented withing a planet in the original series of My Hime- Otome, the same as the individual one of Rena?

If so then Rena would be the original one of the Artemis or it was Miyu since My Hime-Otome happens in logical time after My Hime.

Another is, who is Rena's daughter to be and you know when she does that bye bye her powers the nanos do not tolerate that.

I can not believe that Rena is that powerful. Ridiculous, but ridiculously cool. By far is the most powerful being, let alone Otome, in this universe. That was so cool seeing her go so fast that she looked like she had split into like 10 people.

It was a nice little series. Young Reito was cute. Rena was ridiculously powerful as Kevin_V said above. Elliot was just funny. And Shion and Raquel were an awesome duo. Bruce was pretty cool for an ol' fella.

I enjoyed this, it was pretty fun for a little slice of pre-My Otome life.

Not a bad OVA series but it lacked any big reveals. It was also pretty fast paced. It would have been better as a one cour anime.

Too bad that other anime project fell apart and never happened as a revival of a series this obscurer is very unlikely. It seems like this series was maybe setting up some stuff but we'll never see the resolution now.

You'll probably never see this, but i'll still reply anyway.

The old guy at the end and Bruce are brothers. Sifr's father is their uncle.
