[quote name='Chairman_LMAO']Seeing how much praise My-Otome and My-HiME gets in this thread, I've decided to watch both. Which should I start with?[/QUOTE]
My-HiME, no question. It's just the way it was supposed to be watched.
[quote name='Kirin Lemon']HiME, since that aired first. I thought HiME was just slightly above average, with occasional moments of brilliance, and Otome was slightly worse. Both have decent soundtracks by Yuki Kajiura, at least![/QUOTE]
I'll agree the first and last third, but i thought My-Otome was actually better. I liked the fanservice (as in My-HiME references, although there's plenty of the other definition too), and i thought some of the story elements were much deeper. As for Zwei, i'll get back to you when i finish it.
[quote name='Chronis']does anyone know if Xam'd even going to get a DVD/Blu release? I kinda want to watch it (and since it's made by BONES, Prarie is probably interested also
) but somehow spending $3 a pop to rent an episode over PSN for a day is not my idea of fun.[/QUOTE]
Trust me, i've been looking at it for awhile now. Just based off my
stalking of the internet knowledge, it's currently airing in Japan, which leads me to believe that once it's over, it'll finally come to DVD/Blu-Ray.
As for NA, i would think that the same process would happen, but, if it even does, i think it could be awhile.
I rented the first episode, and it's sub-only. The show definitely has premise, and the artwork is
absolutely beautiful, so i hope it gets localized sooner rather than later. I'd even consider a sub-only import, and i'm usually a dub fan.
