Mai-Otome FC

[QBnoYouko]

Yeah, maki maki. Oh, and of course you may use the banner. Actually it could be one of the banner choices if EK has no problem with it. Question, though, how do you provide a link using an image? It'd be easier to link to this FC using the sig. Help would be appreciated. I actually had made another banner with Erstin saying other stuff too, but they don't seem so good. Maybe I'll post some when I make good ones.

[Asleep]

Thank you! I would like to nominate that as a banner choice and also the idea of linking to the FC! I love her face in the picture.

Maki maki maki maki MAKI MAKI MAKI!!!!

[QBnoYouko]

Well I made a gif of that scene of Nina. Problem is I dunno how to make it go faster or how to make the file size lower. Any help?

[TEK]

No problem. I'll add your banner right now. Ers is one of my favorites so I'd be glad to put it up.

The avy is good but like you said, it's a bit slow. I'd delete some frames in whatever program you're using to edit it.

As for the link in the signature, you click on the URL button and put the link for this FC. Then when you click enter, there'll be a part of the URL highlighted. That stands for the text. You just replace that with whatever text you want. In this case, it'd be the image file. I'll create an example and post it here so it's easier to see what I'm talking about.

I will reduce the avatar and make it somewhat faster for ya xD I will re add if no one post after me else I just post it again normally =D


EDIT*

Well I hope this will do it it is small enough to put up as an avatar hope you like it how it is now :amuse

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/Gompster/ninalust8wc.gif

[TEK]

It look pretty good. Nice editing Gompiej.

@Gompiej: So I talked to Kira about that avatar and so he's in the process of making it so he should have it up soon. You have first rights to use it as your avy since you asked for it first but do you think I can use it after you're done using it.

[Arima Teppei]

hehe you can use it on nc if you like I wanna use it on NF for now if it is down the one CJ is making xD

and yeah I made a better stroke around it and scrapped several frames :amuse

Lol nevermind I made my own version of the bathroom scene of Nina-chan xD

[QBnoYouko]

To EK and Gompiej:
http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/9411/thanks3zk.jpg

[Arima Teppei]

hehe your welcome I have it also hosted so you can use it whenever you like and I made some same kind of avi only larger xD

[TEK]

Awesome. Nice avy Gompiej. Yea, I was actually hoping to use it on NC since I can have 150 x 150 sized avys there. I'm still 200 something posts off from getting it in here. Thanks!!!

[Arima Teppei]

well the avatar I use you can always use it if you like :amuse I seen many who use duplivated avatars so nothing wrong if you used mine aswell if that is what you want :laugh

[TEK]

Well for now, I think I'm gonna keep up the avy I have in NC. As for the shower scene, I might use the one where they show the whole scene of Irina poking her as well.

[Arima Teppei]

hmm that would be a more tricking one because the original will have alot of frames defenitly around 200 so it will be alot of cutting to be fittable xD

[TEK]

hmm. That's true. I'll have to think of something.

[Arima Teppei]

well I am sure about it that you somehow figure it out to let it work :amuse

[TEK]

I hope so. I'm currently trying to make one so I'll post it when I'm done. ^_^

[Arima Teppei]

hehe cool cool can't wait to see the results of it :cool

[TEK]

I can't promise anything great. I'm pretty new when it comes to making gifs so yea...

[Arima Teppei]

Well it is okay it is about the try that matters to feel like it is awsome I made noob gifs in the beginning aswell I can still remember my very first gif was over 1 mb in size so most people do a better job for the first time then I did xD but practising will help you in getting better :amuse and if neccessary I can try and edit your gif a little so it will be fittable for use if it is neccessary xD

[TEK]

Sounds good. I'll be sure to post it when I'm done and then you can edit it so that it's better. I think I'm gonna head to bed now after I make one more post somewhere on the forums where posts count so that I can have an even 1800 posts. Later Gompiej!!!

[Arima Teppei]

hehe okay okay and np man always great to help other people :amuse have a nice sleep and talk to you soon xD

(just woke up here myself xD)

[TEK]

Thanks man. I now have 1800 posts. Yay!!! 200 more and I can finally use bigger avys here. Anyways, off to bed so I'll talk to you tomorrow.

[Arima Teppei]

lol 200 posts omg so many :rofl lol

well anyway have a nice sleep I think Imentioned that 3 times now already to you o well xD

[TEK]

Lol. It's alright. I think I mentioned it in about 3 different threads so I'm not surprised. 200 posts is indeed quite a bit. But hopefully I'll get it by the end of the week...hopefully.

[Arima Teppei]

lol well I think you can manage it somehow I would be able to have 10.000 already, but just all my posts are in the FC's so yeah that is why I keep hanging on 3000 xD

anyway I am really gonna look forward to the next episodes because don't know if you watched the little preview at the end of episode 6 for episode 7 but it seems we will see Arika use her Otome powers on her own atleast through the earring or something, but not by the amulet or by another Otome.

[TEK]

Yea, the preview looks awesome. We finally might see Arika's robe. I can't wait. ^_^

Yea, I'd actually be in the mid 2000s maybe even 3000s if FC posts counted. But since they don't, there's nothing I can do but slowly earn my posts somewhere else in the forums.

[Arima Teppei]

yeah not only that but we might finally see a good fighting show of Arika as we yhaven't really seen her doing anything bad ass so far as I know o.O

EDIT*

ow and I made myself an animated signature from Nina-chan in the bathroom xD

[QBnoYouko]

Hey, EK, where was your Erstin avy from? The one before your current Kenpachi avy as of now.

[TEK]

I found it on animepapers. I'll post the original fanart here in a second.

Here you go:

[Arima Teppei]

you know more sites with that stuff I am searching for Nina and Arika art o.O

[TEK]

I usually just go to animepaper.net. The only thing is that you have to earn points in order to download scans. If I find any cool Nina and Arika fanart sites, I'll let you know Gompiej.

[Arima Teppei]

ahhh great thanks alot :amuse

btw do you know by any change how to add an animated avatar in a signature ??

[TEK]

If I understand what you mean correctly, I think you just upload the animated avatar onto something like imageshack and just copy and paste the link it gives you in the signature portion.

[Arima Teppei]

well no I need to get to place them seperatly onto the signature but don't know how xD

[TEK]

I'm not entirely certain I know what you mean. Are you trying to make an animated signature?

[Arima Teppei]

well I made a signature in PS and I had an avatar already and I need to add the avatar into the signature through imageready but I do not know how and such.

[TEK]

Oh ok. I think I see what you mean now. Unfortunately, I don't know very much about imageready and how to do that stuff though. I'm still a newb at those things. I would ask the deathberry. He's the one who gave me a tutorial on how to use ps and imageready but I still haven't learned it completely.

[Arima Teppei]

Well I know how to make an animated signature with text but not how to add a animated avatar o.O

[TEK]

I wanna say you would just have to put the sig in imageready and make mulitple layers of each frame of the avy and put each one in a different layer of the sig. That's what I think but I don't know for sure.

[Arima Teppei]

yeah I tried that but it did not worked for me for some reason o.O

Welcome, Enzain. I just love your avatar. That scene was so hilarious. It obviously screamed BUKKAKE!! :rofl
Yes it did. :D

[Arima Teppei]

hmmm I cant really figure that scene out I seen all episodes but this are so few frames it is kinda hard to see wich scene that avatar is from :sad

[TEK]

It's episode 1 where Arika comes out of the desert in the very beginning and is thirsty. She sees the drink that people buy for Nina and tries to grab it but both her and Nina fall. Nina falls on top of Arika and then Sergay (Tate) points out to Nina that she's in an awkward position and Nina screams out. That's when the scene happened.

[Arima Teppei]

lol hmm then he didn't made it good it was like Nina had to sneeze nothing of falling on the ground lol :rofl

[TEK]

:rofl Yea, I see what you mean. But it was a nice attempt. ^_^

Anyways, I gotta go. I have to get ready for class. Later Gompiej.

[Arima Teppei]

awww okay well speak to ya later man have fun at school :laugh

[TEK]

I'm back. So, any predictions for the next ep?

[QBnoYouko]

Shiho will maki maki everyone again causing a distraction for Arika and Mashiro lol j/k. Hmm, I don't know what could potentially happen but I know it will have something to do with the new GEMs. I predict less action than before as well.

[TEK]

Hmm, I don't think we'll see Arika's new robe again for a couple eps. She's gonna try and keep it a secret from everyone. Maybe some interesting scenes in her bedroom with Ers and Nina might occur. :D

[QBnoYouko]

What, more tickling and poking now? :rofl

[TEK]

haha, yup. And perhaps they'll accidently discover her new gem on her earring. Nina would definitely be in shock to see her suspicions come true and Ers will be wonderin what's goin on. It'd be an interesting secret that they could share together about. Then they could get back to tickling and poking...and maybe more....:drool

[Enzain]

lol hmm then he didn't made it good it was like Nina had to sneeze nothing of falling on the ground lol :rofl

psh... That's the first gif I ever made

[QBnoYouko]

Manga time, Erstin has something new up her sleeves.. er... between them..
SUPER BUST DEFENSE!!!

[TEK]

@Enzain: It's ok. The gifs that I make suck and yours are much better than mine so don't feel bad. You'll get better over time with practice. That's pretty good for your first gif.

@Youko: OMG, I have to read the manga when it's scanlated. Ers is frickin amazing. Super Bust Defense, eh. I'll do anything to penetrate that defense. :D :drool

Just a quick question, is her name Ers or Erstin. Cuz in Doremi they say Erstin and it even sounds like that in the anime but Static has it as Ers. So I wasn't sure. What do you all think?

[QBnoYouko]

It's Erstin but they call her Ers for short.

[TEK]

Oh ok. I always say Ers cuz I follow Static Subs but it started to bug me since it really sounded like Erstin. Thanks for the clarification Youko.

[Enzain]

I just stumbled across some pretty piccies~

http://clemox2.free.fr/mai_otome/fr/24.php

[TEK]

Awesome. I think I've been to that site before but they didn't have those pics when I went. Anyways, thanx for the link Enzain.

[QBnoYouko]

Even though they can be viewed from the official site, thanks for posting and sharing, Enzain.

[Arima Teppei]

lol I didnt ment it on a bad way Enzain it is just like if she was sneezing and hard to see wetter what she really was doing xD it still was funny :amuse

and I really hope they will intend to show more about the gem's that Arika got now with Mishiro and see some funny stuff happen between those 2 along with Nina xD

[TEK]

I'm sure they will but probably not for an ep or too. They're probably gonna save a lot of the classic moments til mid-series and late in the series. I'm curious how Nina is gonna get stronger cuz with Arika's new robe, it'll be tough to compete with her.

[QBnoYouko]

One thing I seriously cannot wait to see is Natsuki in her robe. It's some kind of ice crystal type so I can't wait to see more materialization and Natsuki kicking ass!

[TEK]

Yea, I really wanna see Natsuki in her robe, assuming she has one. I'm sure she does but I really want to see it. I also want to see Erstin's special moves from the manga used in the anime. :D :drool

[QBnoYouko]

Other than that stuff with Erstin, I wanna see Miyu with all that stuff from the manga.

Oh, and Natsuki is wearing a GEM after all, so naturally she has a Robe. Her Robe is something along the lines of ice or crystals. She won't be using it any time soon I bet, but I hope her Robe is something like Duran's color schemes.

[TEK]

Yea, probably. I can't wait to see hers then. I was so happy that we say Miyu in the last episode but I wanna see her more than that brief scene. I can't wait.

[Prince Leon]

Lookie what I just found! :P

[QBnoYouko]

And where there's Miyu, there's Alyssa. But wait, where is she? Did she become that canary on Miyu's shoulder?!! XD

@pl: VERY NICE :thumbs

[TEK]

OMG PL, that is amazingly hot. :drool

Nice post. :thumbs

[QBnoYouko]

She's still performing CPR wrong :laugh Well, I guess that isn't the point anyway :P

[TEK]

It's not about the technique. It's about what it does for those who witness it. And it certainly does a lot for me. :D :drool

[QBnoYouko]

It's obvious Erstin is in to CPR way too much, despite how horrible she is at it, which basically scores us some fanservice bonus :laugh

[TEK]

Yup, I hope she performs CPR on some other characters too. :drool

[Prince Leon]

That kinda CPR would bring anyone back into consciousness. :laugh

[TEK]

I know it would bring my consciousness back. Of course, even if I regained consciousness, I'd pretend like I was still unconscious so I could get some more of that CPR action. :D :drool :drool :drool

[QBnoYouko]

Now the question is, who would you want to perform CPR on you, Mai or Erstin? (I doubt there'd be a two fer involved but it's nice to imagine)

[Guardian Archangel]

That kinda CPR would bring anyone back into consciousness. :laugh
Only to get a severe nosebleed and fall unconcious again :lmao

Btw, I've had this siggy for the longest time(long time fan hehe) and I've never known of these fc's existance :scry I got a question thought, do ya share when the episodes are released? cause...I seem to suck at finding out when they are released.. Oh I want to join, and ill make a banner When I finish the 6 other requests I have.

[Arima Teppei]

no I wanna let Nina do CPR on me :kukuku not my nor erstin but NINA :laugh

[Guardian Archangel]

Did anyone notice in episode 7That Mikoto was the one who jumped Arika which made her open the trap door. Mikoto was also the one who led them to the organ of "doom" which happens to make a shadow similar to Mikoto in Mai-Hime appear. Could it be that she is trying to get them to release her. Maybe the cat is a curse and that is what the scare on her forehead could be. I don't know if this has been said, I am just now writing this after watching this for the second time, eh its probably nothing as I overthink things sometimes.

[QBnoYouko]

no I wanna let Nina do CPR on me :kukuku not my nor erstin but NINA :laugh LOL Good call. I soo want Nina doing CPR on me as well. But if it was either Mai or Erstin, hmm... Well, Erstin's is like Juicy Fruit. JUICY, and a bit longer lasting. However, with Mai, it's like Doublemint gum. It's double the pleasure, and double the fun :laugh I'd go with Mai then :P

@9thsfArchangel: welcome to the FC, and yes we do inform each other on episode releases so you don't need to worry. Oh, and more banners would be absolutely great! I don't know about the Mikoto stuff. Maybe it was just coincidence or Mikoto was drawn there by something else.

[Arima Teppei]

hehe btw anyone also know any fanart website with some awesome Nina art ?? I really need some of those.

[QBnoYouko]

Ah yes, Nina fanart would be great.

[Arima Teppei]

yeah but where to find I tried many places to find it and I wanna make a really cool signature of her, but if I cant find any art I cannot make anything :sad

Welcome 9thsfArchangel. I shall add you to the list immediately. Awesome Shizuru fanart. The link for that first one doesn't seem to work for me.

As to who I'd rather have CPR on me, I'd still pick Mai over Erstin but I don't see why both of them couldn't give CPR to me. :D :drool

[QBnoYouko]

As I said before, in a CPR situation, it's highly unlikely both will give CPR at the same time but it's nice to imagine lol

[TEK]

Yup. But if I had to choose, I'd choose Mai unless Erstin shows me her special moves. :D :drool

[Guardian Archangel]

But Mai is more likely to notice what you'd be up to and slap you(or worse) Where as Erstin seems to be more open with that. For me I cant decide......they're both too good eek

[TEK]

But Mai is more likely to notice what you'd be up to and slap you(or worse) Where as Erstin seems to be more open with that. For me I cant decide......they're both too good eek
Good point. I still say Mai though cuz even if it's only for a little while, having CPR done by Mai would be heaven. :D :drool Although, Erstin would be good too. But I still would have to pick Mai. She's definitely worth it. :drool :D

[QBnoYouko]

But Mai is more likely to notice what you'd be up to and slap you(or worse) Where as Erstin seems to be more open with that. For me I cant decide......they're both too good eek What can be worse than a slap from Mai? :laugh

Well, that is kinda true. She would notice and things would go wrong. *Remembers when Tate stared at Mai's chest*

[TEK]

So...I'd gladly take a slap at Mai to see Mai that close. :D :drool

[QBnoYouko]

lol yeah, and Tate got lucky a second time while inside the ship just before Natsuki busted in.

[TEK]

Yes, he did. That lucky bastard. I would so love to be in that position...:drool

[QBnoYouko]

Haha, that's like the 15th time you've used that drool emoticon. I think you've filled over 2 buckets now :lmao

[TEK]

haha...probably. But I can't help it. Every time I think about Mai and/or Erstin, this is what comes to mind: :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool

[QBnoYouko]

Can't blame you for that :laugh

[TEK]

haha, yup. They're that hot. :D :drool hehe

[My-HiME]

May I join this awesome FC? :)

[TEK]

Yes you may. Welcome mtimmins. Do you have a nickname or a shortened name that we can refer to you as?

[My-HiME]

Hmm, nickname? Not sure about one. :darn

[Guardian Archangel]

Welcome *bows* I admit I wouldn't mind being slapped from either one of them, it'd be a reminder of the work required to get a lifetime memory. BTW I am almost certain that mikoto(cat) is related to Mikoto(organ) I missed the part where the Mikoto led Arika to Mashiro(sp?)....yes, I think too much, its a bad habbit. ooo I never noticed that the android person with the blueish hair(dont remember her name) is the outcast looking person in the trenchcoat like gitup who wants to bet what her bird's name is?

Nickname: how bout "Mr. Tim"

[TEK]

Yea, I too am convinced that Mikoto the cat is Mikoto from the organ. And the android person with blue-ish hair is Miyu and the bird on her resembles Alyssa.

[QBnoYouko]

Mikoto is a cat and Alyssa is now Miyu's canary. That's just great. I hope next Akira isn't a frog :rofl

[TEK]

Lol, you know, I wouldn't be surprised. :rofl

Yea, I've never watched it either.

Thanks for the info, Enzain.

[TEK]

Welcome raptor02_2001. I shall add you to the list immediately.

Omg, the server got overrun, I cant get the torrent!! :scry

Got this off another thread and I'd like to point this out Evidence is pointing toward the theory that Arika was artificially created. First, the most obvious connection, is that Miyu sees Arika as a this etherial being with blonde hair. It was the same way with Alysissa-chan in MH, who I remind you was artificially created. Secondly, in the 2nd episode Arika is seem sleeping on a bio-bed that's remarkably simular to the one Alysissa was sleeping on when she was a baby. And lastly, her high compatibility with nano-machines. Could Sunrise be pulling a Anakin Skywalker?
If thats true then it would explain how Arika was able to use a suit without the nanobot thingys even though the neckalace helped a bit.. my 2 cents.

[narutorulez]

i had my computer on almost the whole yesterday and the whole night and im downloading mai otome ep.3-6 in HQ but still they havent been completed and they only have been about 6% complete!(exept for ep.3 that one is 23.9% complete) :crying
d oanyone have any idea how to make it download faster in azureus?

edit:finally i went to my dad's house since he has a cable(or wtf its called) and i downloaded the episdoes in DC++ superfast! yaaay :smile-big

[Guardian Archangel]

not a clue, I use bitcomet

SWEET, finally got through! yay, im happy now :p

no that would go against th etheory about her being born by the king as I remember the flashback showed us that when Arika was born she was placed in the river so it would not make any sence that she is an artificial it would totally go against the whole flashback so it doesn't make sence and if she is it why can't she do the same things as that other one.

if you ask me the person who said it was just totally desperred because he needed a theory about how Arika got her powers.

Miyu can see Arika like that maybe because Miyu's the artificial one? She was an android in HiME so she could still be on in Otome, though we wouldn't know her creator. Perhaps Miyu can see the nanobots flowing through Arika and such. As for that bio bed, well, I think that's just a mock-up from the bed in HiME, that's all.

[TEK]

Hmm, all of this sounds very interesting. I can't wait til the episode is done downloading so I can see what all the fuss is about. :D

I totally agree on that with you as like I also mentioned in my post is that

The history would be pointless if Arika would been an Artificial because I don't think Artificias get born but created otherwise. And if I am not mistaken Arika was born and not other created.

[QBnoYouko]

You brought up an interesting point. I don't think it's possible that Arika is actually artificial because then speculation of her relations with the Blue Otome, or Rena Sayers, and her being the real princess would be invalid. There's no way Arika can be an android to me.

[TEK]

Yea, I don't think Arika is artificial but there is definitely something unique about her. There has to be a reason why Miyu saw Arika's hair as golden blonde like what Alyssa had in Hime. I'm sure they'll explain it eventually but it really has gotten me curious.

[Arima Teppei]

Indeed because why would they show the history in a flashback where we saw and heard that she was born and such so it wouldn't make any scense for her to be an android. And I do think she as a strong relationship towards Rena I think for some reason.

and about Miyu see the glowing hair in Arika maybe the one who created that other one is maybe the real father of Arika the one who created that glowing haired girl sorry forgotten the name o.O

[QBnoYouko]

That would be Alyssa Searrs, although her glowing hair was not like Arika's, because I think that was part of Alyssa's power, and Arika's was just something Miyu could see. Maybe Miss Maria created Miyu lol but that doens't make sense. I'm only saying it because Miss Maria is like the female Joseph Greer.

[Arima Teppei]

ow yeah wait I remember Arika saying Alyssa towards the yellow bird, but that would be kinda weird since when is Alyssa a bird or did Miyu did something to her when she too her into that ice cold water in Mai Hime. Because else I can't think of a way that the bird and Alyssa are related :blink

[QBnoYouko]

Well, it's like Mikoto I guess. She's a cat in Otome and I guess now Alyssa's a canary in Otome. :rofl

[Arima Teppei]

hmmm yeah but it looks like Mikoto can get back somehow or something but we do not know about Alyssa o.O

[TEK]

Well, Mikoto was a huge character in Hime so it only makes sense that there'd be a way for her to become human. Alyssa was only a semi-main character and it was only for a little while. They wanted to include Alyssa in Otome so they decided to keep her close to Miyu and the only way they thought they could do that was to make Alyssa a bird.

[Guardian Archangel]

Well I wanted to use that as a possibility for using a robe w/o the bots. Anyone notice when they were explaining the wars with the 12 kings thing that Miyu(robot right?) seemed like she was in there. Not to mention its obvious she knows something about Arika's past defending her like that.

[TEK]

I agree she knows something but I didn't notice she was in that war. I'll have to check that out.

[Guardian Archangel]

She may not have it just looked like her, without all the western style cowboy clothes.

Edit2: I just thought of something, what if Arika wasn't aritficially made, but altered, through some cyborg or whatever means. This bit is farfetched and unlikely but its just another view. What if she was artificial in terms of her abilities and "powers". I don't agree with this idea, but I figured I'd through it out, as nothing seems to counter it yet.

That girl isn't Miyu but it's the senpai of Miss Maria, I believe her name was Monica. She does kinda look like Miyu though. While the altered part could be true, I just don't think so. It just doesn't seem like something that would happen but I could be wrong.

[Guardian Archangel]

Eh, just theories, I guess thats what makes this kinda thing exciting is finding/guessing the significance of things ahead. Or I could just be bored and thinking too much heh heh....

[QBnoYouko]

Yeah, I think you're thinking waay too deeply on this stuff lol

[TEK]

Yea, I think so too. But it can be fun to think too much about it. :D

[Baby Raptor]

Whoa, you haven't joined yet? Well then, welcome! EK will add you shortly.


becasue i am too busy to FC club and most FC club is slow and die to boring ( it is most fc club) and i am too busy at weekend for work and week for classes


back to topic

can i copy and my own host site ? or may i create banner ??

(i know i am not recent active in forum)

[Arima Teppei]

Well like I said many times it is unliky at all that Arika has anything to do with artificial stuff because of the war that was happened 14 years ago and as I said she can't be artificial because she was normally born so that theory doesn't fit anymore. And also if she had to do with Artificial stuff she wouldn't be placed in the river ungaurded because any artificial is improtant to the Himes/Otomes so I think that whole theory can't stand on any leg at all.

[narutorulez]

in episode 7 was it mikoto or ghost of mikoto in that orgel?because it looked like mikoto.

[Arima Teppei]

it was a spiritual lifeforce of Mikoto out the organ yeah taht she appeared in black.

[narutorulez]

it was a spiritual lifeforce of Mikoto out the organ yeah taht she appeared in black.
aha i knew it!:cool

[Arima Teppei]

hehe everyone knew that lol the way she talked and also the shape of her spiritual lifeforce was viscible enough to see it was Mikoto who was hanging in the air infront of the organ o.O

[TEK]

Hey guys. How's it going?

And yea, I knew it was Mikoto based on the shape and that ribbon thing she has hanging down on the side of her face.

[Guardian Archangel]

What I'm interested in is her weapon, better yet the power she is talkin bout.

[TEK]

Yea, I'm curious as to what power she was referring to. I can't wait to see what it is.

[Guardian Archangel]

ep10 previews hurray to episode 9 ending(note I have no previews just mocking the stupid wait till next ep for previews)

[TEK]

haha, that's cool. I'm sure they will be good when they come out. ^_^

[Guardian Archangel]

*so bored* not to mention Im eager to see the beach episode even more....I just got this beast fo free and it works great... http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10064895&catid=

[TEK]

Damn, that looks sweet. How'd you get it for free?

[Guardian Archangel]

Lets just say its a gift, honestly I don't know how I got it for free, one day my dad just told me its mine, honestly I don't know why someone would give me a damn expensive screen. Im not complainin though. *runs off to get a high def box*

[Arima Teppei]

wow that is some real deal man if you can watch Mai Otome on that screen its like :drool :drool :drool

[Guardian Archangel]

It is indeed...btw I love your sq sigs you've been making, where did you find that image of Natsuki?

[Arima Teppei]

hehe thanks I like them myself aswell specially Nina :amuse

and I find most of my images on www.minitokyo.com ^.^

[QBnoYouko]

Yo, Gompiej, sorry to nitpick, but it's actually Nina Wàng, not Nina Wong.

[Arima Teppei]

lol my bad good thing I saved my PSD file so I can easily change it but I saw Wong somewhere so yeah :laugh

[QBnoYouko]

It's no biggie. I thought it was Wong before too, but that was before any sources showed the official names in English.

[TEK]

It's Wang....wow, I just learned something. I always thought it was Nina Wong.

[QBnoYouko]

It's still pronounced the same, because of the "á", (I just noticed a mistake in my post, the thing on top was reversed), but yeah, it's kinda noticeable when you look at the subs. Nina Wong sounds like she's Chinese (boy does she) but she's taken in by Sergay, so it would be more sensable as Wáng.

[TEK]

Yea, I guess that makes sense. Although I like the sound of saying Nina Wong more than Nina Wang.

[QBnoYouko]

lol But it is pronounced the same, it's just the way "Wáng" is spelled (°_o)

[QBnoYouko]

Posted this in the Otome discussion but reposting it here-

[TEK]

lol But it is pronounced the same, it's just the way "Wáng" is spelled (°_o)
Strange. At least it sounds the same...I guess.

Like I said in the other thread about this, sounds interesting. When should we expect it to come out?

[QBnoYouko]

January 27, 2006. lol maybe I should stick to just one thread?

[TEK]

haha, it's alright. At least this way, you're bound to make sure everyone who likes Otome to hear about it. :D

[Prince Leon]

Posted it in the discussion thread so I'll post it here too!

http://datorrents.com/download.asp?id=4745&name=Mai_Otome_v01_ch01_%5BTaruby%5D_v2.1.zip.torr ent

Chapter 1 of the Mai-Otome manga scanlated! ^^

[QBnoYouko]

Thanks a lot pl. I guess I'll go check it out to see how it's scanslated. Still a long way to go before the cool chapters though.

Okay, just finished. Translations are good, but there are a lot of Engrish name terms thrown instead of full translations. For instance, they say Otome HiME, when it should really be Otome. Other than that, the scanslation is about perfect. No flaws aside from names.

[QBnoYouko]

Well, better late than ever I say. STATIC RELEASES EPISODE 7!!!

http://releases.static-subs.com/

[TEK]

Ah yes, I saw this on the other thread and said it there but I shall say it again, thank you for the info Youko. ^_^

[QBnoYouko]

Haha, always welcome.

[TEK]

I can't wait to rewatch it. I love the text job they do with these eps and I can't wait to rewatch this one since it was a good ep. ^_^

Anyways, I'm off to bed so I'll talk to you later Youko.

[Baby Raptor]

Posted it in the discussion thread so I'll post it here too!

i love you!! have you have more chapter for me ?? :wtf i like manga and anime have different version
you got my rep if rep system is work for me

[Arima Teppei]

lol he said that so far only the first chapter is scanlated so you have to wait for more chapters.

[Baby Raptor]

but i know it is take time but i love manga and anime but it is very interesting but manga is more ecchi (more pantsy )and battle and anime is more cute girls with unknow plot!!

[narutorulez]

where will i be able to buy that mai otome dvd?and its not a bootleg is it?

[TEK]

The Mai Otome DVD will be sold in Japan so you'd probably have to buy it through a japanese website or have a friend in Japan buy it for you and send it over to you. And then in order to play it, you'd have to have a multi-regional player capable of playing it.

[Arima Teppei]

Well I have a DVD region free player so I can do that but aren't they gonna put it up for download or something coz they did the same with the Naruto movie.....

[narutorulez]

yeah my dvd is region free.it can play evrything.but doenst any1 know if it will be available in some site with japanese movies like yesasia? :s

[QBnoYouko]

Perhaps. I haven't checked if there were ever any for Mai-HiME but I believe you can purchase them off the official site or if not, they leave a link to where you can.

[TEK]

I see. I may want to do that...

[narutorulez]

allright!all i need to learn now is japanese so i can understand more of the official site! :thumbs

[TEK]

Yea, same here. I need to learn Japanese as well if I want to navigate that site.

[chakra25]

Sign me up please. :D We need more members representin on here.

Thanks Youko for the movie info. Mai-Hime is awesome and I believe it deserves a movie.

[Guardian Archangel]

Woot, more members....better chance of idle chitchat with someone else besides me!! wooooo............ .... yes.....

[narutorulez]

i found a site where you will be able to buy my otome dvds(no english subtitles thou,but who cares?we got super,awsome subs!)

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBA-2418

now evry one + rep me for finding this link!:thumbs

[Guardian Archangel]

I would, but me thinks you don't want grey bars left and right...

[QBnoYouko]

If that's the real DVD cover, then good find. The official site doesn't have it up yet. I'd rep you but I need to spread rep first, sorry. I'll get back to you when I can.

[Guardian Archangel]

Youko I see you know of Ah my Goddess, do you know of the second(3rd to some) season airing in spring, if so, what chapters are you looking foward to seeing animated?

[QBnoYouko]

Youko I see you know of Ah my Goddess, do you know of the second(3rd to some) season airing in spring, if so, what chapters are you looking foward to seeing animated? Oh, I'm so sorry, 9thsf, I know of Ah My Goddess, but have never seen it or read it. Was it my avy/sig that through you off or something?

[Guardian Archangel]

Yea, the "Yggdrasil Unit of Intelligence" part ....in particular the Yggdrasil part. :p

eh, I'm excited and when I saw that I thought you watched it too and was wonderin if ya heard the news.

[QBnoYouko]

Ah, okay I see, so it was my User Title. Well, the thing is, I wanted to change my User Title to "Multiple Intelligental Yggdrasil Unit" because that's what M.I.Y.U. stands for but it didn't fit so I tweaked the words a bit. My apologies.

[Guardian Archangel]

heh. Interesting, I never caught that before. Do you know what that word means? "Yggdrasil"?

[QBnoYouko]

In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the gigantic tree that links all 9 worlds of Norse cosmology. So I guess that means Miyu is a connection to 9 plains? Hmm...

More on Yggdrasil from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil

[Guardian Archangel]

I'm working on a new sig...(no idea why im sayin this) anyway I'm coloring in these two stocks(still wip). Depending how well they turn out I think Ill put em in this background or something similar(maybe not so strong)

[QBnoYouko]

Very nice. I'm not too good with sig making. In fact, I don't even know the first thing to make backgrounds and such, still kinda of a beginner with this kinda of stuff.

[Guardian Archangel]

If thats true then Im a pure and utter nub when it comes to foreground/background blending cause the sig you got now is like an uber sig to me. I like it a lot, and maybe one of my 15 come anywhere near it. Even if the foreground stock was a part of the background it still kicks ass. You'll find a lot of my work here--->(my name is Archangel there) http://www.9thsf-igc.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=74 I still have a bunch on my desktop that I haven't gotten around to uploading yet, I make more than 2-3 per week but I usually never swap em. I keep a sig on average for about a month.

[QBnoYouko]

Well, my sig I have was just cut from a picture, and I just added text too it. What I want to do is make backgrounds of my own and blend pictures together and the like.

[TEK]

Yea, I want to do that as well but I don't know how too unfortunately.

Welcome chakra25. I shall add you to the list.

[TEK]

Mai Otome episode 8 has been released by Static subs: http://releases.static-subs.com/ (http://releases.static-subs.com/)

[QBnoYouko]

Yeah, I'm kinda more of an animated gif maker than a sig maker if you can tell lol. But I still suck at gif making.

Sweet. Thanks for the news, EK.

[narutorulez]

i think its a real release since they have other series that seems to not be bootlegs.like the naruto movie and FMA movie

[Guardian Archangel]

So, you guys are sayin Im the only sig maker in this club....aw

thx King Im still comparing subs

[chakra25]

Woohoo! Number 11... just like Kenpachi

Counting the one today...is Ep. 10 the latest?

[TEK]

I believe episode 9 has aired or will be aired soon. The sub will probably be out by saturday or sunday.

[chakra25]

Don't know if anyone brought this up before... there is an "Otome" Star much like the Hime Star. Except the "Otome" Star is blue. It's in the ending sequence and in few episodes. I think there's gonna be a major significance of the "Otome" star later. What do you guys think?

[Nekomimi]

Well I guess since I joined Mai HiME might as well join otome too haha...*still refuses to put any banners in her sig* :P

Oh and some random comments...Archangel that siggy of mai is INCREDIBLE :wtf

Oh and narutorulez if youd like a nicer gif avy I could make one for ya.

Hmm other then that...All I can say is im enjoying otome so far and cant wait for the next episode. :amuse

[dznutz]

i won't be able to access the internet for like a month. so i was wondering if anybody is interested in uploading the mai otome vids that i'll miss onto "yousendit" when i return and in return i'll upload the same number of the upcoming mai otome vids on yousendit? thanks guys

[louise123]

even though i have watched the first 8 eps of mai otome i would love to join the FC, but ofcourse if you don't want any new members i will understand

[QBnoYouko]

Well of course you're welcome to join. EK will gladly have you in.

[Arima Teppei]

lol the more members the better xD

[QBnoYouko]

Or, the more the merrier, right? Although I like having just a small group than a huge crowd. It'd be pretty crazy for me. :P

[Guardian Archangel]

Thankyou for the comment, I like my siggy too :)

Plus the more members = more active discussion

[QBnoYouko]

Ironically, the Mai-HiME FC has tons of members, yet only half of us are online anymore and only a few of have discussions. :laugh

[Enzain]

Am I the only one who noticed this in episode 6?
http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/926/maiotome06140mc.jpg
I guess Mai really pissed Shiho off...

[QBnoYouko]

WTF? Is that what it said. Last time I checked it said "Juliet Nao Zhang."

[TEK]

Well I can't read the kanji/japanese but according to Static subs' translation, it says Juliet's spirals, not Mai's.

And welcome louise123 and Arky-chan. I shall add you both to the list immediately. :D

[Arima Teppei]

last time it was indeed Juliet that was as the name in the book and not Mai I saw it aswell can't remember it said Mai at all.

[chakra25]

Hmm... I also remember it as Nao on Static subbed version. But if it was really Mai, that would make sense because Shiho had a score to settle after Hime episodes. :D

[Guardian Archangel]

Neva thought I'd see gunslinger girls with Girls Bravo, which episodes have you seen of Gunslinger Gompiej?

[Arima Teppei]

I have watched episode 6 just now and have to say the serie really rocks :omg
I seen the episode were henrietta was in the building where she acts like she surrender but then hit the guy in the stomach...about the explosives.

[Guardian Archangel]

What is that season 2....Damn, I want it now...*runs to store*
