It's been an age since we covered the first episode of the horrendously named Mai-Otome 0~S.ifr~, so I can only apologise for any lack of continuity down to the fact that I can't remember much about that opening instalment of this OVA. However, I do remember somewhat enjoying that first episode, which makes the rather confusing mish-mash that jumps all over the place which is episode two all

I know I’ve said it myself, but every time I hear or read, “[this show] is not for everyone”, I wish for a new way to express that. Don’t mind me, I haven’t had my eight cups of coffee yet. Onto the anime I saw last week: Air Gear v3, Kanon v4, and [...]

Even though I am a big fan of the Mai [Z]HiME franchise, I had not read any of the manga before, because I heard it was basically just really bad softcore pr0n. This is a blatant lie. It is not just softcore pr0n. The Mai Otome manga is the manga incarnation of the world’s most massive BONER. It breaks [...]

Mnemosyne Musume-Tachi Mnemosyne’s strategy is basically to attempt to capture its audience with lots of gore and nudity. Like I said before, I haven’t bought the formula yet. The characters do have potential, but it seems to me that they’re trying a bit too hard to be sympathetic, so early on. Especially the case for the [...]

Apologies for not posting for a few days; some idiot (not me) forgot to pay for the internet this month. They said it didn’t need to be done, but it was- a prequel to the greatest trainwreck of all time, Mai-Otome 0. And thus, in true Azure Flame tradition, we could not merely let the situation [...]

It is no small secret that the character designer of the HiME series, Hisayuki Hirokazu, loves loves loves the character of Rena Sayers. She is like his personal mascot, equivalent to how the creator of Shaman King feels about Kyouyama Anna. So watching S.ifr OVA 1 and seeing just how much detail and emphasis has been [...]

Don’t piss off the maid. Everyone’s favorite big budget action show that’s big on explosions and lesbian tendencies is back in action with this OVA. I’m pretty much game for any action show Sunrise makes, and this series is no exception. After the jump is a screencap collection and reviews by Crusader and myself [...]

Finished Otome 0~S.ifr (god, that’s so annoying to type), it’s a pretty good OVA, IMHO. Story centers on Sifr, Nina’s mother, targetted by Schwartz for some unknown reason. She’s saved by the Otome group of Lena Sayers, Raquel Mayol, Eliott Chandler and their masters, Bruce Windbloom and Sister Hermana Shion, remaining under their guard until Schwartz [...]

Just to be one of the few anal people who pay too much attention to background music to point this out, I’ll share with you a disturbing fact about the musical production on this OVA: One of the pieces of BGM is an almost identical rendition of the theme to The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

That was much better than I had anticipated! Here we go again with more Mai Otome (Read: A better Mai Otome). The sour taste of Arinko and all things Mai Otome are gone. S.ifr looks, sounds, and feels so much better than Mai Otome or Mai Otome Zwei ever did. My biggest problem with Mai Otome [...]

I’ve been so busy lately that I actually have a backlog of everything, not just anime, but my other loser activities as well. Times like these I go for funny and junky stuff like My-Otome, that admittedly, is not quite as good as taco rice (an Epic Win), which is actually healthy while still [...]
