So it seems they skipped the single version of "星が奏でるものがたり". Other than that and off vocals everything might be included? Does anyone notice anything missing?

I still feel this could've been 5 discs tops.

Just because I have the original soundtracks, I hope this release is remastered in a similar way to the My-HiME 20th Anniversary Best Collection CD-BOX (and not like Kajiura's 30th Anniversary from JVC).
 
Kay, that's not new either, it was previously released. So uh yea, seems everything but the single version of Hoshiga*monogatari is included.

Fingers crossed it has musicians/credits for "storm" but it probably won't, considering My-HiME 20th Best included zero credits whatsoever...

Edit:
Actually correction to my post above, I still think it should've been 4 discs.
- 2 discs for all Kajiura BGM (rearranged order compared to the original OST release), the 4 Hoshiga*monogatari versions that are listed here, tv-sizes for the TV op/ed songs;
- 1 disc for all songs from My-Otome TV & Zwei & PS2 game (but Hoshiga*monogatari) which are included here (they are mixing different media songs on single discs here anyways);
- 1 disc for S.ifr OST and full songs from that era which are included here;
There's so much dead space here... Not to mention not including all short/TV-sizes since you have space...

Whoever made that cover artwork, made Mai look like a cyclops ^^; She is turning to the left but not sight of her right eye (or she winks?)
 
a) the original character designer, 久行宏和 Hirokazu Hisayuki
b) it's not Mai - it's Arika.

Characters in the cover from left to right: Erstin, Irina (bizarre choice of a character for a cover but whatever lol sure she's a roommate with the rest from what I remember but still not that major of a character compared to the rest... Edit: I think I rememberd wrong - she's just a friend;), Mashiro, Nina, Arika.

Oh I just noticed they are including an interview with Kajiura in the booklet this time. (I don't think they did on My-HiME CD-BOX.)

Yes sorry i forgot her name. Might be the original designer but the angle is strange. They usually wink the eye thats closer to the camera to avoid this type of impression.

This has nothing about the film concert.

The booklet for the My-Otome 20th Anniversary CD-BOX includes an interview with Yuki Kajiura about the show's music & production.

This sunrise post seems to say the interview also talks about the film concert. But that's still just about the CD-BOX booklet contents.

It is a little weird overall indeed. Like I'm not sure if she's supposed to be spinning, or twisting her body while running like in the ED sequence.

It features a striking new illustration by character designer Hirokazu Hisayuki, capturing the dynamic energy of characters running towards the sunset.
 
?

I feel you're posting that translation in response to me as if you wanted to clear up what I said about Arika. As if I wanted to have an answer to that? Does that make Arika's pose less odd? Half the characters in the cover aren't running anywhere anyways so that description isn't exactly literal...
 
Yea i know 🤣🤣 i just point out what the description said. Also one of them is seemingly "running" backwards as she is looking at Arika.
 
shippinggguuu~

Hoping for "storm" musicians credits, but definitely not expecting them (as My-HiME box did not have any recording credits)...

Edit:
CD GET.

I'm going to complain about it unnecessarily being 6 discs again. It's thicker than the My-HiME CD-BOX, though the booklet is much thinner (and not glued).

There is no musicians credits. The interview with Yuki Kajiura seems rather short considering they could've talked about the whole franchise AND the recent live. But I don't know JP so lol@me caring.

I'm ripping another box first, as this doesn't have anything new. I'll comment on the mastering later. (If there's anything to comment on.)

If you are interested in the ZHiME series 20th Anniversary collections but remain undecided, here's a few tracks to sample the mastering. I chose Dhuran Shokan, Mezame, Windbloom and MATERIALISE because they are also on Kajiura's 30th Anniversary Best if you want to compare against that mastering as well.

These new boxes are a little louder, brighter, maybe wider compared to the initial releases but I am mostly okay with the new sound (while I'm confused with how they are on kajiura30th). There's a few tracks that sound more questionable to me, like the new 真なる目覚め feels on the obnoxious side to me but it could also be that the issues are there in the old releases too and whatever they did here just exposed those issues more. I guess I would still always recommend the initial release.

Code: 
mega.nz/file/wtQwVajS#PUHjRQt_0_WeLgsdYidQitAyISB1W9QZ8fNIrt8uGAM
use "CpM". will delete in a few days.

I also noticed that the tracklisting for My-Otome 20th that they posted online and sent out to shops has a different spelling of Shinshoku. 浸食 online vs 侵食 in the backcover. The backcover one is the same as the old Best Collection Special CD and JASRAC, so I guess they just made a booboo for online stuff now (rather than fixing an old error)...
