After watching Madoka, I began to understand the Kalafina ladies' mannerisms during their lives, where they really put effort into the choreography and staging/lighting.
Mai-Hime music (Upd: TV anime “Mai-HiME” / “Mai-Otome” 20th anniversary event with YK & FJ & Hanae on Sept 20, 2025)

Nah, I feel that's just the stage director slash choreographer that worked with them on every tour.
Yeaa, that's kinda the thing with shows that have twists and turns. They just either get spoiled or people hype up certain episodes so you know something's going to go down.

Already watching... Maybe a few episodes tonight.
First impressions...
Everyone's here right in the intro!!!
A little bit of Moses vibes from the beginning scene (Mai?) and a whole 14-year time skip too!
Sounds like Yuuka Nanri singing the intro...Hmmm.

So Mai is the country bumpkin in this one but not feral like Mikoto 
(different names in Otome, yes Mikoto is a cat here ). I appreciated the change to a European-style location, more elaborate and differentiated costuming and character designs, including a royal aspect to .
At the first battle scene - protecting the princess from the slave, I started to hear Yuri Kasahara's voice singing that dissonant tune "Materialize" (yeah?) with her powerful voice (even at low volume the resonance was strong)!

The fanservice episode was maybe too much but I'm having a lot of fun rewatching the anime so far. Surprisingly, I remember quite a bit from the show, both in detail and in general, just not necessarily when exactly something happens. Like I really didn't remember Harmonium being introduced this early.
One thing I wish they did in this show was have some kind of map with nation names at the start of every other episode - maybe some kind of narrated prologue before the OP or something like that, just to keep track of all the nation names and maybe even rulers. Most characters aren't too bad since you should be familiar with a lot of them from HiME but all those other names unghhhhh...
Major Wang, lolol. I can't. I'm so immature. (I know it's just a translation and but still.)
oh Shizuru... such a tease...
I know "Gokigenyo" is going to get overplayed lol but I like the track so much.
hey new characters, voiced by Minami Kuribayashi and Rie Tanaka fyi.
the way they stress Missss Maria makes me shiver.
Oh wow, subtitles kinda spoilery, I'm not sure the audience was supposed to understand all that...
I forgot what a brat Mashiro was in this series lol
(had to pause for a minute or two)
that fanfare makes me laugh so much XD
headsplat
oh god forgot about Yukariko from HiME, iconic Kikuko Inoue
lol Shiho nyaknyaknyak makimakiakamaki
damn they are really hamming up the yuri theatrics, after hime's reception I guess
lol Nao what a troll; holy shit, forgot her first name was Juliet in this one, it kind of hits differently after going back to Seiya lol
yooooooooooooooo Nagi, troublemaker as always XD

I want to say that even as a wee lad I thought this one was too much... but I don't remember how I felt about it back in 2005.
But at least it's also the first time we get Yuriko's lullaby.
So we've been getting lots of faction/nation names but this might be the first time they drop the "W" word?
Did they mention she was adopted before? Did I look away? Or is this the first time? (Edit: I double checked. They said it in ep#2.)
And they drop all that inbetween this fanservice... lol.
Oh you little conniving...
Oboi... Here we go...
Cute transition to the ED. Kind of makes it seem like it's a happy ending to an arc.

So it was only Yuriko that provided chorus in the original release!
Wow! When Yuri went up to the highest note towards the end... Man what a voice. I would really like to hear it live now. I can imagine Yuriko (and Joelle for the head voice range) going as operatic as possible with Yuriko on the chorus.

So I'm rewatching Otome... Had to stop in the middle of episode7 'cause they were clearly playing Kajiura's instrumental under the seiyuu lyrics and I had to do a double take.
For a second I thought it's an original arrange and I'd have to eat my words but I don't think so. The instrumental playing appears to be the guitar & percussion from the first half of OST1's Komoriuta, except it's sped up about 114% and pitched down about 4 semitones. Took me a moment. The 2nd time it loops it might have some creative editing - it's bloody difficult to be sure with the og strings blasting and different mix. I'm relatively certain in most parts of the second loop that it's still the first half of the Komoriuta though, including the ending.

I'm gonna have to go back to that. (I'm already in episode 19!)
Ep 4
Beautiful singing by Nina and the string instrumental of the same song.
That's a lovely acappella song that was also sung by Mai (Arika).
It's a beautiful recurring theme and I wonder who wrote the track and if there's a live version.
grunty
I have reached Yuki nirvana
The theme is by Kajiura but while her arrangements of it appear throughout the OST, the plot-specific lyrics & final arrangement for the seiyuu song are not hers. (Which is why I had to do a double take on episode7, which clearly had Kajiura's instrumental underlying Mashiro's performance.)
Dang, you watch fast. I'm only starting #10. XD
nein
Kinda feels like another fanservice episode with returning bullying until the ending...
Sir Gay to the rescue~
I'm watching episodes so close together and I'm still having problems keeping track of the nation names...

Holy shit. Dafuq is with these girls' make up skills? lol.
another reality check for girls at the academy. sadness :(
but also Arika plz2forget about Sergay...
Haruka -_-
Mashiro still moping around instead of doing better. Fingers crossed.
Oh so it was Nagi's doing at the border... Also "Chiisaki Dukeshi".
I can't stand this Sergay love plot thread.

Yo Miyu. "Child" name drop.
Oh now we're getting the story.

"North hound". I don't remember if they have more backstory for that...
Oh you little conniving... This is not redeemable behaviour. :|

Enemies for lyfe. Kaboom.
When Dreams Fall, indeed.
Why is Nina running... lol.
Mashiro... I don't think you should be that shocked your people don't like you... You've not yet reached the end of your redemption arc.
This show sure likes to cut away from action.
"Hinegashi no Hana no youni" off-vocal debut. Oshi.
RIP identification system

the betrayal :-(
At least Nagi isn't hiding.

I feel like Ai Shimizu (Mikoto's VA) is doing like 6+ characters in My-Otome...

Not sure if Midori is serious saying she's 17 or that she ages slowly (plot twist incoming?) or it's just a Forever17 seiyuu joke...
inspirational Queen
didn't Natsuki try to stop a car in HiME? Making her suffer again... Oh Nao.........
another angle on the attack~
GEM lore~
Earl and Black Valley lore~

Cardair going to war~
Wait... Fia is also voiced by Rie Tanaka? lol.
Nina Sergay Backstory~ She sure ran into his arms fast...
Don't know how I feel about this belly of the beast... but at least Mashiro is feeling motivated to do better.
gud BGM choice for the attack with "Kyusai..."
On the other hand "Sajin ni Kureyuku" is really getting on my nerves by now...
Damn you Tomoe!!!
Shizuru getting a taste of her own My-HiME medicine. ;p
Nina also part of the Harmonium lineage d'uh. As if it weren't obvious...

I feel these last few episodes I might not be blogging much, I just want to get it done.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THE ICK. This still could've worked well enough without the ick factor, just with Arika being inspiring to him and different dialogue. The fact they focus so much on the love aspect from both girls' side and from Sir Gay is killing the show for me.
Kay, lets see how Tomoe&co do this. Gundam power. This whole Tomoe subplot has been dragged out way too long as well.
Nagi is such a gaslighting prick.
Something went wrong with the casting here, how was it a good idea to have one actor voice two separate enemy Otome? Even if this fight was quick. ;p So what happens to Cardair now without a ruler?
What. How did Mikoto get there.
yo Miyu~
Harmonium lets go~ The power of Tornado & teleportation acquired!
Honestly, at this point I'm so tired of Nina... and Sergay and Arika...
Come on Alyssa! Purty golden feathers.
ESUCALIBAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And another nuke explosion.
Wh...y... Dhuran shokan vocal for Mikoto&Mai? lol.

Kay, lets get that reunion on the road.
Mai just cooking with her powers. Of course.
Black Valley.
I mean, we knew this twist already based on Nagi's research scenes... If not earlier from assumptions that there would be more reveals...
Wait... this weird piano playing the lullaby melody over "Horobi no Uta"... I don't think they released this... Sounds rough, lol, happy to have "Horobi no Uta" as is.
Dang. I think I remember this weird feeling 'cause OST2 either just came out around these episodes or was about to come out but they kept playing unreleased tracks in the last stretch of the show. Lucky we got that special soundtrack with the Best Collection.
Confirmation who Arika is.
Yay, "Otome no Yakusoku".
Mai Wisdoms
lol this was such a "Janet! Dr. Scott! Janet! Brad! Rocky!" moment
Not sure if this backstory is disappointing or brilliant and perfectly HiME.
Perfect cyborg ass.
The last HiME.
Oh take a bloody sit Nina. I'm so tired of you.
That flat shot of Tornado Nina moving around... XD
lul that Mai-hime name drop

No.
No.

Oh yeah, lots of fan service in this one too, but that’s par for the course with this series.
It’s interesting how the series in part touches on teen love from a female perspective, including with peers and crushes on older men. Both times.
It’s kinda surreal to see the characters from Hume be at different ages relative to one another and interact differently in Otome,
Also, seeing some of the plot points from Hime be reflected here is also a trip, of sorts, when it lands.

grunty
I have reached Yuki nirvana
It's been a while since I'd last seen My-HiME (and I have rewatched it, unlike My-Otome) but I don't really remember there being this much "ick" there. I don't really remember anything else that would be to the level of Sergay x Nina/Arika in My-HiME. Like Shiho was absolutely obsessed with Tate in My-HiME, but I don't remember Tate ever going toward the creep category in his interactions with Shiho. (Nao's story is a separate matter.)
But maybe that's my memory...
Yea. It's kind of a double edged sword. As a My-HiME watcher one definitely connects shit in their head and has certain expectations of how things will develop... And while it's fine to have those subverted on the viewer, it's not necessarily great when the subversion only gets a "wait, that's it?" reaction... But the show certainly hits a lot too.

Well he did kiss Shiho, but that was all at her request and pudh. She was the aggressive, needy one.
That it surely does.
The world-building is more vast; locations, costume variations and character roster are greatly expanded; and the sense of impact of the events is much more geographically impactful.
When they say something will affect a nation or the world, it means more in Otome. Hime is basically the school and the school town, so the sense of doom is localized to the characters and less so the students.
