For those of you who share in the highly specialized Warhammer 40K fandom, James
Swallow is writing another Sisters of Battle novel.  So - fanon potential!  Esp.
given how much Swallow has developed as a writer.

   BTW Erica, if you're reading this, given your enjoyment of tough and terrible
over soft and sweet, you might want to look into 40K.

   Exit question: how many series could be easily adapted to great awesomeness to
40K?  So far, I have Nanoha and  Maramite...

Greetings to all the fine folk of the Yuricon group!

Lately, my friends have been pestering me to check out the anime called Mai
Hime. At the same time, another group of friends have been telling me that
My-Otome is better and more fun to watch.

As far as I know, aren't they both by the same creators and share pretty much
the same characters? Is the story that different that my friends have such split
opinions?

For someone like me who enjoys humour (slapstick or boob gags are fine by me),
and good action scenes, which is the better of the 2 to check out? And if I wind
up watching both, which one should I start with?

Cheers,
Val

It was GREAT!

I had zero expectations, frankly. The actresses are not, in fact, actresses, but
gravure idols, so I expected it to be a bit meh. It was delightful.

I will write it all up when I gt home and have a chance.

Now I am off to go I-don't-know-where with some friends.

Cheers,

Erica

I have seen Mai Hime and My Otome
if you want the high school magical girl anime - Mai Hime
if you want the soldier maids with magical powers anime - My Otome

both are very good, I'm gonna recommend to watch them both
Shiznat is one sided in Hime, Shiznat is subtext in Otome
and if you dont know what Shiznat is watch Mai Hime first

Since My Hime came first, one should watch that first. In a way it makes My
Otome a more interesting viewing, because we're seeing the same characters but
in a whole another setting/world, and some of them just being different people
this time around--Pachy

Mai Hime was, for the first 24 episodes, excellent. Then they blew it to hell.

Mai Otome was ridiculous from beginning to end, but it was consistently fun.

I'd watch Mai Hime first, then Otomoe, so you know *why* Otome is silly, when
it's silly and enjoy both for being the same and different.

Cheers,

Erica

Ugh, the bad taste of Mai Hime's ending still lingers. Seriously, what were the
staff of Sunrise THINKING?!! ARGH!!!

I haven't seen Mai Otome yet, but if what people say about it being consistent
throughout WITH a consistent ending, then I consider it worthy.

Yes, thass true everywhere... its just that as an asian i wish the legal system
in countries here would take some sort of initiative to empower such people
legally and provide protection... not that the battle in the west has been easy
or is over... but we need secular legal system more than ever...

There will always and everywhere  be pressure to conform to "normal". We can only push to have the GLBT spectrum accepted as normal.. Asia does have some spots of acceptance: in Thailand, the katoey (transgendered) seem normal.

From Fujieda Miyabi's Twitter account...he is talking to his editors about the
possibility of having an Ame-iro Kouchkan Kandan short anime made. This is
speculation only, don't get all squee-y yet, but how cool would that be?

That would be DAMN cool. 12 episode? Or shorter?

Preferably, I hope it's a TV series. But I'm curiously how this will go if it
comes true.

That would be fantastic. I'm aching for some good, new yuri animation.

I believe you are close to the truth, Miwa. "Short animation" in this case is
far more likely to be a single *Short* packaged with the manga as an extra - the
same way Morita-san ha Muguchi is planning.

Ame-iro has been received favorably, but highly doubtful that it would have had
sales worth investing in making it into a one-hour OVA or, seriously, a
12-episode series.

Cheers,

Erica

I guess an "OAD" makes sense. I guess we to wait until the next Yuri Hime issue
gets released to see if they'll say anything about it.

Just wanted to drop a note to let everyone know that Under the Solstice Moon can

Oh, Media Blasters! Your surprises amuses me immensely!

I say it's a good indicator that Kashimashi sold really well continuously when
it was sub-only.
