Mai-Otome Zwei Episode 1

1 min read15 comments

The first episode of the new Mai-Otome OVA series is pretty darn good. Sunrise has got this whole drama-comedy hybrid formula perfected.

Mai-Otome Zwei

Animation is OVA quality and significantly better. Soundtrack seems to be the same, except for the new theme song. (Crap BTW.) The episode starts with the Meister Otomes gathering in space to destroy an incoming asteroid and ends off with a mysterious attack on the academy by an unknown invader. In between, we have neko ramen, teenage quarrels, Shizuru in swimsuit, and a taiyaki thrown in for good measure.

Mai has more airtime in this episode than in the entire TV series

Her too

This episode needs more Nao and more Shizuru.

P.S. I can’t believe that her name is actually Lena and not Rena. WTF!

    @Sunrise! Reusing the CG Axis you guys had left over the Zeta movies!

    And lol at Black Valley becoming a tourist trap. Somewhat reminds of certain island country’s recent developments!

    Anyone else notice Arika has “grown” a bit (.) (.)? ;) Also, they have added the “breast bounce” in a few shots?

    Luv it!!

    LOL! I’ve seen the flash animation from newgrounds before, but it never ceases to amuse me everytime I watch it.

    Mmm…nice pictures…the lens flare scene is my favourite.

    Arika still has some growing up to do, to match her mother, especially in that robe. Still, it’s interesting to see how Miyu ended up…
