Rewatching Mai Otome after 20 years, did I just miss all these nods to Gundam the first time through or has Gundam rotted my brain to the point Char lives in my head rent free and I see Axis everywhere?
Also this woman getting the full Shinn Asuka in the final battle.

Mai-Hime/Otome shares too much DNA with Gundam, specifically the Cosmic Era.>writing by Hiroyuki Yoshino, one of SEED's main screenwriters who also did all of the CE's timeline background stuff>creature design by Junichi Akutsu, the Astray's designer>music by Yuki Kajiura, who did a bunch of the EDs and insert songs for SEED.>many VAs, including Akira Ishida, Naomi Shindo, Toshihiko Seki, Tomokazu Seki, Rie Tanaka, etc.>a large number of the same animators, storyboarders and producers worked on SEED, Destiny, Mai-Hime and Mai-Otome.

>>24062907What ever happened to Yuki Kajiura? Her music was in a lot of anime and games in the 2000s, then she just vanished.

>>24063422She was in Kimetsu
>>24063493Was she? I don't watch that generic trash for toddlers (I've seen better stories come up of LLMs), so that comes as a surprise.
>>24063497Yes Jimbo, she was there
>>24063152Pretty neat.
>>24063497>unnecessarily aggressive non sequitur>completely irrelevant anecdoteWhat causes this mental illness?
>>24063152Julia (The spider mech) always reminded me of the Regenerate Gundam for some reason, now I know why.>>24066387Performative turbonerdosis
>>24062907New Mai-series when?>>24063152Very interesting.
>>24066554One would think after G-Witch proved that yuri prints money, Sunrise would immediately commission a new series.
>>24066558>It's been TWENTY-TWO YEARS DAMMIT!!!!The wait has been very painful
