Is it really good? Also I miss girls riding high powered motorcycles.
It's pretty masturbatable.
kinda miss those plump of asses.
>>284544082I wanna tongue Natsuki's ass while wearing her biker suit.
>>284544082Well I liked it, but I couldn't get into Mai Otome.
>>284544082Yes. The ending is mediocre like people say but it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be and the show largely holds up otherwise. It'd probably be very popular if it was made today. As it is though, it's very much a 2000s show and a time capsule of the time.
Hime was awesome why can't Sunrise(Banrise) make more great anime like Mai Hime and Code Geass.
>>284544082>Is it really good?Yes, posting best Hime.
>>284544082I miss this era of SunriseWhat happened? I feel like their works aren't as varied as before
>>284545403They became Bamco Studios after the merger and changed management throughout the whole process. Also the creator of Hime left a long time ago and now has the rights of Mai IP to plan a new Mai-series in the works.
>>284545530Hopefully they get Studio M2
>>284545625That's Furusato's new studio with old and new ex-Sunrise staff working together.
Character Illustrations are fucking amazing.
suffering kino
natsuki is so hot
>>284544082>subtle cameltoe
>>284546076
>>284546150Does Natsuki really shave her pussy? I wonder Shizuru fingered Natsuki's pussy to get loose.
>>284546150Natsuki is such a fucking slut.
>>284545403>What happened?I blame Love Live for this and Studio 8 staff being displaced in certain studios.
>>284544082New Mai-series when?
Has Japan forsaken motorcycle culture?
>>284546235Fingered? Shizuru still can't find her watch.
>>284546628>Has Japan forsaken motorcycle culture?No.
>>284546747cubs are not motorcycles.
>>284546150That scene was funny as fuck. It was even funny when Mai laughed at her.
>>284546628Yeah, due to new laws it's harder to film bikes and almost impossible to modify bikesIt's why in modern Kamen Rider shows they barely ride their bikes
>>284546811>cubs are not motorcycles.Who saya they were?
>>284544082>Also I miss girls riding high powered motorcycles.Read and watch Bakuon!! then read and watch Bakuon!! again
>>284548450Bakuon is SHIT!!!!
>>284544082Don't mind me posting best himes
Nao is best HiME
>>284544082Yeah it's good. There's also a movie coming soon!
>>284550384>There's also a movie coming soon!Only 17,946 years to go
>>284544082Is this yuri?
>>284551044It has yuri, but as a side plot. Girl in the OP's picture is past of it.
>>284551044>Is this yuri?Yes.
>>284551055Anime yes, manga no
>>284551044Yes, it's Yuri because of ShizNat and MaiKoto
>>284544082she got raped.
>>284552431and she loved it.
>>284552431Fuck off Yukino
>>284550384Buy the 20th Anniversary books https://x.com/myhimeofficialz/status/2000864729301213296
>>284544082Eh, its like ok. Average teen drama action series, if you think the girls look cute its worth watching.
>>284551096I hear Midori has a hairy pussy is that true?
>>284553843Teen drama stuff in Hime is pretty interesting that made the builds between characters. Characters and Child mecha forms were the best ones.
>>284544082This is an /a/rika board
>>284545403The global financial crisis of 2008 happened. It's also worth noting that viewers were getting Mai franchise fatigue at an early stage.Sunrise saw no incentive to waste money on Mai Hime when Code Geass raked in more dough.It started near the end of Otome and then set in with Zwei. People were sick of Mai Hime/Otome when Sifr came out.Damn shame because Sifr was really fucking good and it set the stone for plot threads that have gone unanswered for 15 years (Arika awakening her Hime powers).Then Sunrise had to milk the franchise one more time with LN spin offs and pointless remakes in manga form like EXA.
>>284556235>People were sick of Mai Hime/Otome when Sifr came out.Funny I heard the opposite thar fans wanted more Mai stuff than Code Geass. Older /a/ users know Hime/Otome made more influence than Code Geass.
>>284556235>Then Sunrise had to milk the franchise one more time with LN spin offs and pointless remakes in manga form like EXA.This, why reboot the franchise by making a retarded remake and shitty designs. Just make a true sequel Hime with an OVA series.
>>284556235>It's also worth noting that viewers were getting Mai franchise fatigue at an early stageProbably because Otome was shit
Otome wasn't bad but it needed more Mai and fanservice. Sunrise knew Mai Mikoto,Natsuki and Shizuru were very popular.
>>284544082i love Mai Hime and Mai Otome but the doujin scene is crap. since it's a product of the 2000's, the doujins are subjected to degenerate fetishes like futa and tentacles. the ones that aren't completely deranged have mediocre art and heavy censorship.as it stands kensoh ogawa holds the gold standard for Mai doujins.
>>284557099>stands kensoh ogawa holds the gold standard for Mai doujins.Ripel Egg says you're smalltime.
>>284551055Natsuki is part of the main cast so Shizuru played a pivotal role in the series. Therefore Yuri plays a big role Hime.
>>284549449Bakuon!! is the best of all time.
>>284556931>>284557082Otome failed to catch on because it didn't have a proper yuri-killer MC like Tate. The Sergey love triangle wasn't sufficient enough because Sir Gay had to reciprocate Nina's feelings. If Otome ever gets a sequel or is given the remake treatment, a Majima-like MC should be added into mix to drive off any dyke relationships with Arika and the other girls.
>>284557983No, Tate/Seegay were the cancer for the Mai-series. Nips hate Tate and Sergay because they self-preserving assholes.
>>284557232their works are good and all but they have 4 Mai doujins at max and they seem to love that stupid Mayo character from Destiny.give me a call when they branch out and do more doujins of Otome characters.
>>284544082It's insane that the Mai-franchise after 20 years. Can we still hope for a new Mai-series?
>>284557983Fuck Tate and his retarded seiyuu foe trying to sabotage and to ruin the framchise because his character role was relegated to "Minor".
>>284558635Jap dudes are pathetic simps who think they can treat Mai right as if they were LL Cool J... but that was 20 years ago, and attitudes over there have changed.Majima was one of the most popular characters out of Lycoris Recoil, so the demand for yuri killing FFM is out there.
>>284559206This.
I love Mai's huge mikers
>Mai Hime>Mai Otome>no Mai WaifuShit franchise
>>284555730Going balls deep in Arinko's omanko!
>>284559444Haruka-chan has the biggest knockers in Hime/Otome.
>>284559471Fuck off zoomer
>>284545186Mikoto is a very talented fightet
>>284545530>creator of Hime left a long time ago and now has the rights of Mai IP to plan a new Mai-series in the works.Source for that claim, or is it headcanon? I feel like this would be pretty big news that would get reported on. It's not common that a large corporation relinquishes their rights of a franchise to the person who worked on it.
>>284545355She needs to be a major character in a sequel.
>>284561338She's definitely in the sequel and more bustier than ever. Look at her she's fertile as fuck and Takumi is gonna die exhaustion from sex.
>>284561827Whatever her size would end up being, that is part of a sequel should include somehow. Let Mai worry about his health again for a new reason.
>>284561877>Whatever her size would end up being, that is part of a sequel should include somehow.Akira will have a ton of shit on her plate including Takumi health. >Let Mai worry about his health again for a new reason.To be honest that her whole character revolving around Takumi and those who are close to her. I wouldn't be surprised Takumi's new heart would cause problems again.
>>284562151His heart wouldn't need to actually cause problems to have worry about it be a source of a problem.It might need to have some more serious and world threatening plot again and not just be similar to the earlier parts of the original, I would hope they wouldn't try to do a new version of basically the same as the original fighting each other for some reason.
>>284561189>Source for that claimhttps://x.com/myhimeofficialzCreator of Mai-franchise. Dig into his tweets if you know Japanesehttps://x.com/oddeye_c
>>284562297>I would hope they wouldn't try to do a new version of basically the same as the original fighting each other for some reason.After the Carnival rest of the HiME's still feel anger towards Shizuru and others. Nao holds that grudge with Shizuru and Natsuki. I always feel the Carnival was an litmus test to see how the HiME's can fare with each other and their abilities. The real test is facing a terrible world and an uncertain future.
Anyone hear the rumour that Xenoglossia was intended to be a Mai- series but bandai waived money around and they retooled it with the idolmaster cast
>>284562342Oh that Tweet. There's no explicit confirmation he was working on a sequel, but rather, he was interested in working on a sequel if given the chance. I certainly saw no confirmation Bandai Namco gave him full ownership of the Mai IP.It's not even conjecture at this point, just wishful thinking and hopium on your end.
>>284562750Ask Furusato about that but sure he'll be tighted lipped to say it.
>>284562869>It's not even conjecture at this point, just wishful thinking and hopium on your endI have been proven wrong many times but I do feel its time.
>>284561827>Tate is holding Mai hostageFor what why is he hiding away with Mai. Does Mikoto realize something is wrong?
>>284562750This wouldn't be surprising in the least bit. Sunrise really hates the Mai series and its fans.To this very day, they are still giving the finger to their fans during the 20th anniversary. 150 USD for an artwork compilation book and 300 USD for a reissue of BD's that came out 15 years ago.Reborn and World Trigger, both certified mid, are getting sequels but Sunrise is over here taking the 20 remaining fans for a ride.Maybe Sunrise and BanNam will green light a 1 cour spin off in the future, but it would be a 5 year wait like Code Geass.
>>284565353>both certified midI was going to say half of Reborn is good but then I remembered half of it isn't. That does even out to mid doesn't it.
>>284565353>Sunrise really hates the Mai series and its fans.This. >150 USD for an artwork compilation book and 300 USD for a reissue of BD's that came out 15 years ago.Artbook is really cheap for $150 but I don't think anyone will buy anniversary blu-rays unless they have new content just like the previous blu-rays. >Maybe Sunrise and BanNam will green light a 1 cour spin off in the future, but it would be a 5 year wait like Code Geass.I doubt it would wait for 5 years since it's already in the planning stages. Furusato did say he's trying to find a timeslot for new Mai-series to be aired next year.
>>284566338The BD's are supposed to have recordings from the 20th anniversary concert and seiyuu reunion that happened in November. In addition, it will have usual extras that were bundled with the previous releases.I wouldn't even consider pre ordering unless Sunrise can upscale the masters and use a better encoding profile for the new box set.It's a shame this is the predicament the fans are in. Sunrise and Bamco are effectively holding the franchise hostage. They're using sales from the BDs, artbooks, merchandise, and tickets from the events to determine the future of Mai- going forward.Just being real, but low sales will spell the end for the series, given Bamco's ruthless business model.Better pinch your pennies this winter for those blu-rays.
>>284566667>I wouldn't even consider pre ordering unless Sunrise can upscale the masters and use a better encoding profile for the new box set.I'm not buying the blu-rays just getting the books.>They're using sales from the BDs, artbooks, merchandise, and tickets from the events to determine the future of Mai- going forward.Previous events were sold out less of day. Nips really love the Mai-franchise to death even the West loves it. I can see new Mai-series planned maybe next year if Furusato-san can find a valuable time slot.
>>284565353>Sunrise really hates the Mai series and its fansDid I miss something why Banrise punishing the Mai-franchise for?
>>284566907>Nips really love the Mai-franchise to death even the West loves itLook, I don't doubt that at all. But I cannot say Bamco feels the same way.If you think about it, the series is technically going through a revival. The fact that both companies are putting in effort to market it again shows some signs of progress. This is hell of a bigger undertaking than what they did a decade ago for the 10th anniversary... which was nothing.But in typical Scamco fashion, they are trying to extract every penny out the fans as a carrot-on-stick method for a new anime.
>>284567307>This is hell of a bigger undertaking than what they did a decade ago for the 10th anniversary... which was nothing.They never had any plans with it from the start. Sunrise had a ton of projects while taking a lot of creative staff from Studio 8. Mai Hime/Otome wasn't one of them. >But in typical Scamco fashion, they are trying to extract every penny out the fans as a carrot-on-stick method for a new anime.It won't work for them if they don't have any new content to support the blu-rays or the anniversary books which will boost their popularity.
test
>>284567106I think we can assume it's some weird Japanese office politics thing, like all their other bullshit.
>>284562342Thanks anon.
>>284544082>Also I miss girls riding high powered motorcycles.This.
>>284546628Motor culture in general is dying or declining since there's so many goddamn laws and everything is digital and a pain in the ass to work onNever mind getting expensive
