YURI OVER LODING
Archive for the 'mai otome' Category
Despite all my bellyaching about Mai HiME’s reset ending and the trashiness of Mai Otome, I still have a big soft spot for Mai Tokiha. Not least because she is my favourite Mai Nakahara role; I just can’t resist her boing… I mean voice.
I really enjoyed this episode. Psycho Tomoe is always a pleasure to watch. Also nice how Chie got a big role (and the most number of WTF facial expressions); not surprisingly, she has a fan club of screaming fangirls! I wonder what Aoi would say. :P
"She’s definitely getting a pretty girl right now," was my favourite line from Mai Otome Zwei Ep 1. Gal’s knowing comment about Shizuru’s wandering ways and Natsuki’s annoyed response was pure winnage. While Shizuru Fujino’s psychotic obsession with Natsuki Kuga, in Mai HiME, was a focus of much OMGSOHAWT fanboyism, I enjoyed the tantilising crumbs of the Shizuru Viola x Natsuki Kruger relationship in Mai Otome so much more. The latter relationship is a lot more settled; they’re clearly very comfortable with each other. It is also tenderly playful, with a fair bit of humour from how Shizuru unsettles Natsuki by flirting with a starstruck Arika.
