Mai-HiME Destiny

Wow, I've just read the first three chapters of Mai-HiME Destiny and it's pretty interesting! Though Mai has yet to make an appearance, the main character, Mayo is a strange character. The setting is almost practically the same as the original Mai-HiME, in Fuuka Academy, though it's on top of Hokkaido Mountain. Many of the returning characters also retain their personality traits, names, and positions in Destiny. It's great, Natsuki is awesome, Shizuru is uber strong, and Nao is as insightful as ever. Mayo is the one with pigtails and handcuffs, which bounds her hands together for some reason. Not even Mayo knows why. The handcuffs depict dragons biting their tails to make a circle, and not even Shizuru could break them with her uber strong MiKO skills.

MiKO are the new HiME, and they're psychic, which I have always found fascinating. My favorite type in Pokemon is Psychic, and one of my favorite characters in X-Men is Jean Grey, who is psychic. Well anywho, Mayo's MiKO powers are telekinesis! Which is pretty awesome, but it's interesting, when she fights her personality changes and she becomes a ruthless girl capable of total destruction. Unfortunately, when her personality changes, she can't seem to be able to remember anything while it happens, she probably has multiple personalities or something. She also seems to remember Shion, the girl with glasses that looks very similar to Chie, as her childhood friend. Although Shion denies it, or just simple doesn't remember it. Shion's MiKO powers are of Psychometry, which is pretty much being able to see the past of something by merely touching it, it's quite interesting. It has made Shion quite intuitive and intellegent. Natsuki, Nao, Shizuru, Yukino, Haruka, Akane, Aoi, Chie, Reito, Nagi, Takeda, and Fumi all return! I may have missed someone but oh well! Oh and strangely, guys can be MiKOs too, it's quite interesting. Takeda and Nagi have both exhibited psychic powers, though I'm not sure if they are considered MiKOs as well. I kind of hope they turn this into an anime! I would be very excited about it, they'll probably announce an anime of it if it's coming out after Mai-Otome Zwei finishes up. :]

Oh, I've been wanting to watch Shakugan no Shana for a while, and I'm finally going to get the chance soon! Haha, it seems interesting, though I'm not sure what it's about exactly yet. I like the openings, it seems like there's a lot of action in it. Shana seems like she is the main fighter, and the protagonist, Yuuji, I believe his name is, is probably just a bystander watching her fight or something. The anime is based off of the light novel, which is what Mai-HiME Destiny is right now, in the form of a light novel. Haha, light novels are basically novels with manga illustrations within them, it's pretty neat. I'm so glad I'm able to read Mai-HiME Destiny though, because I didn't think I was going to be able to. I'm thinking they should call Mai-HiME Destiny, Mai-MiKO, haha. I'm also hearing rumors that Mai is dead in Mai-HiME Destiny, I hope that's not true, she's probably going to appear sometime! Hopefully soon. Oh! I forgot to mention, there are also Mai-Otome characters in Destiny! Which is quite interesting, Mai-Otome characters in a Mai-HiME world, Tomoe was shown in one of the pictures, I wonder if she'll be as evil as she was in Mai-Otome. Haha.

I've been trying not to beat Velvet's Book so quickly in Odin Sphere, but I become so bored if I don't play. Which is probably why I'm blogging right now! :o Oh well though, I guess I should play it soon, I haven't played all day. Lol. I guess I'll be getting to that! I can't believe I'm on Chapter 6 of her book already though, it's crazy. I go way too fast. But I feel underleveled with Velvet for some reason, Oswald was almost at level 40 at Chapter 6 and my Velvet is only level 33 right now! Probably because I didn't have too much of a chance to level with Velvet getting captured by the Valkyries. Oh well, now I know what happened after Gwendolyn saved her from Brigan. Haha. Until next time I guess. *waves*
