Animation goofs in Mai-HiME/Otome

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

Is it just me and Kona, or does Yukino's freckles keep disappearing and reappearing throughout the anime series? ^^;;; This would be a good time to discuss any animation goofs...

[Guest]

Yes! Yukino's freckles are more ninja than Akira!

As for other animation goofs, can we say ELF EARS!?

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

O_O The elf ears are also notorious in the anime, you're right Cathy! Know if there are any in Otome too?

Also, thread renamed to: Animation goofs in Mai-HiME/Otome

Elf Ears in Otome!

Looks like Natsuki is still the Mighty Elf King.



Looks like Shizuru finally got to be Queen!



Yukino must be rivaling Natsuki as king!



Lena Sayers.



Nina Wang, er, Kruger. Like father (Natsuki) like son (Nina)



There's probably tons more but you get the idea xD

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

>_< Goddamnn, even Lena has the elf ears! It's almost like a disease spreading throughout the SUNRISE animation department. Place all blame on Natsuki.

Of course everyone must blame Natsuki! She's their King, and therefore is stretching her kingdom and enslaving people to become elves. It's so obvious.

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

Should of known, dammit! So now we have the ninja freckles and the elf king. What next?

It may not be a SUNRISE botch, but haven't you noticed Nao's hair is really short in some shots, then extra longer in others? I'll dig up some examples soon...unless someone beats me to it. XD

[Guest]

That's because her hair seems a little, er, layered is it? Maybe not that, but from the front it seems short because the rest like comes to a point at the back xD

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

Yeah, I mean look:



^ Keep in mind, that was her first appearance.



A few episodes later. SUNRISE was too lazy to extend her hair length. ^^; This happens frequently.

[Guest]

Haha, yeah, or the rest of her hair was hidden from view xD

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

Not really a botch by SUNRISE since it's part of an animation, but...ugh...



The only shot in Mai-series history where I can say Natsuki looks fugly.

[Guest]

OH GOD SHE LOOKS LIKE JOHN SMITH IN THAT PICTURE! *downs bleach and hides in tent*

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

O_O SHE DOES! OMG!

*shivers* I'm sorry, I'm just so used to Natsuki look beautiful every single time. She looks like shitt here. I'll fix this now, by using the same sequence:



Isn't she just darling?

[Guest]

There, that's better xD *comes out from hiding* There's our darling Natsuki-chan~

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

lol That's the bitchy little blunette we love. <3

[Emo Orphan]

Ew, what happened to my Natsuki-chan. -.- Thankfully, the art in Hime and Otome are more consistent than most anime.

[M.I.Y.U. Greer]

Anime of old had a serious problem with consistency. The anime of today doesn't face that problem since it's all done on the computer like in the Mai-series.

[Emo Orphan]

Honestly, i prefer cel-animation. ^.^
