| They're different, so it's difficult to quantify a comparison and say one is better than the other. I preferred the story (and music) of HiME. However Otome has a somewhat different appeal, and I did enjoy it for what it was. The OVAs that extend it were interesting, too. They are rather different shows though, so as I said, it's hard to compare them. They do share some common elements but Otome is far more shoujo-ai oriented, or at least it's a lot more in your face about the 'yuri' suggestions. The action in HiME is probably better. Though Otome had some rather epic battles, too. Hmm. I dunno. As I said, I liked HiME more for its story, and the scoring was brilliant, so I guess I'll say it is better. But not by much. If you liked HiME, and can tolerate stronger shoujo-ai themes, then you should like Otome too. |
| I liked Mai Otome better, mainly because of Arika, and Mashiro, who was just weak in Mai Hime, but was a much more likable character in Mai Otome. Shiho was much more wackier and fun, instead of the clingy brat she was in Mai Hime. Nagi was even more evil too. I always like Arika much more than Mai anyway, and Arika wasn't in Mai Hime but for one episode. |
