Going to start posting when the sun's still up
Ok, by now I realize that I've been posting very poorly... not that it really matter since there's really nobody visiting... This is pretty much a private diary by now (and i actually have somethign like that in mind when i started writing). Anyway, I realize that my judgement and writing skills become very poor as i get tired so I'm going to start posting when i'm still awake.

Repost on Mai Hime/Otome
Plot-wise, i guess Hime is ok... there's holes here and it's pretty predictable, but they kept it interesting. I'm glad I didnt pass up this series completely mostly cuz shizuru/natsuki is the hottest chixor matchup ever in all the anime i've seen (i think...). I also love how mitoko drags the sword around at mach speed.

Otome's plot had a lot of holes but it's pretty fun overall, I'm somehow able to kinda overlook the whole incest relationship between Nina and Sergay. There's a lot of problems overall but I found some redeeming features, though overall, Otome is still weaker than Hime. First of all, I actually liked the 2nd Otome OP (Crystal Energy by Kuribayashi Mina) though most would probably agree that they should keep mai outta the OP as she played a very minor role in Otome. Second redeeming feature is... believe it or not, is how near the end of Otome, you know damn well that the good guys will win, but the ever confident Nagi throws out more and more secret weaponry. It might just be my mood but it was just a helluva lotta fun for me to watch a few lezbo chixorz beat the crap outta Nagi's arsenal of uber weaponry. Last but not least, I love it when they play those battle trance music when screen zooms in on natsuki or shizuru's GEM. There's something about their transformation that I really dig.

If you havent noticed yet, I'm very forgiving about anime's flaws as and plot holes. As the matter of fact, I'd probably ignore any flaw as long as it dont hit one of my big anime "no-nos". All in all, I had a pretty good time watching himes/otomes pwn... It's like watching fatality play quake back when there's no competition, you know he's going to win the 1st prize, but the fun's to watch him get there.
