Azure Flame Reloaded

Soutetsu smashes some pots.

(Soutetsu: Those damn pots, I hate them so much!)

After some reference to historical events, we return to the troupe.

Shiranui: Damn that pistol guy- I was going to have HARD GAY with those enemies!

Zagashira: Now no one is going to care that we named the boss of this arc!

Ebisu has violent Pillar.

(Ebisu: At this rate we’re never going to get any proper BI or screen time- Pillar is all we have left!) Continue Reading »

Foreword
This is not Mai-Otome as you saw it onscreen (and for that you must be thankful); this is Mai-Otome as it should have been, and hence much has been liberally changed whilst retaining the essence of the original.

OTOME
An Otome is classified as any woman injected with self-replicating internal nanomachines that enable her to materialise a protective armoured robe and weapon. Otome are valued throughout the world for their superior education and fighting abilities, and although the cost of contracting them is very high, many leaders choose to do so anyway.

Nakaiya holds a meeting with Glover and Kanna.

Nakaiya: Now, I hope you don’t mind if we all sip wine- as a Fei Wong class villain there are certain mannerisms I must adopt, such as periodically saying gwakaka. Anyway, I’ve heard a lot about you, Kanna- according to the rumours, your Gun is rather small.

Kanna gets out his ‘Gun’ and aims it at Nakaiya.

I’ve looked at past and present subsidiaries Bee Train and Xebec, but what has Production I.G. themselves brought to the anime scene? The number of series they have brought us may be relatively limited, but from the technological future of Ghost in the Shell to the historical fantasy of Otogi Zoshi and Chevalier, both content and quality vary across the board.

Nakaiya summons the next three Akki Rasetsu, who perform standard introductory poses.

Nakaiya: Gwakaka, the three of you are here to become the latest adversaries of the week! First, though, you must level up a little, and since there’s no time for random dungeons, you must do it via a bondage session with the Lord’s Head!

The three Akki Rasetsu are bound in magical chains and exposed to the HARD GAY energy of the Lord’s Head by the resident Old Mage class.

Old Mage: Chaos and destruction, these are the things villains strive for! Continue Reading »

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time to get ready to rumble!

Further Extracts from the Book of HARD GAY: Who to sleep with in Iroha world

• Akidzuki: a master of the Sword, Akidzuki is a staunch supporter of classic HARD GAY, and refuses to contemplate variations. Nonetheless, he offers the solid experience expected of a main character.
• Soutetsu: one of the pioneers of BI, Soutetsu is highly skilled, but his continual drive for new techniques may put off those who don’t like to get experimental in the bedroom.
• Shiranui: another supporter of BI, Shiranui seems to be more inclined towards women these days, but those who can offer him a good experience will surely gain his attention. Continue Reading »

Zhuge Liang talks to Lu Su.

Lu Su: Did you take me to your special place to give me HARD GAY?

Zhuge Liang: Hmm, perhaps.

Lu Su: If you ask me, you still seem distracted by your pupil. If I find out you’ve let him see your Sword already, I might start getting jealous.

At home, Lu Xun tries playing housewife to Ling Tong.

Ling Tong: This meal tastes horrible! Continue Reading »

I have to admit that I have been terribly wrong about Mai-Otome. How could I, holder of a degree in physics, possibly understand its depth and complexity as well as the random grammatically challenged flamers who came to my blog to comment? Indeed, I totally failed to grasp the deeper implications and cutting social commentary behind Maya and Ain removing everyone’s bikini tops; for that reason, this post will differ from the last two in dispensing with any attempt to grasp the greater plot, and instead rely more on amusing screencaps.

Note: the real reason Iâ’m doing the post this way is because I was watching the raw in the car and didn’t catch all the dialogue.

Whilst LA is prepared for re-education in the delights of HARD GAY, a one-shot character named Sanchez becomes so impressed by Ellis’ BI that he decides to take her home to service the head of his mafia family! Will Nadie be able to recover her partner in time for their next HARD YURI session?

La is recalled for some naked bondage antics. Continue Reading »

With this in mind, Pip knows he cannot afford to hold back and play it safe- he must give it all, strategy and training be damned. So saying, Pip plays a risky move- one that will either turn the match around or put him out of the tournament entirely. Fortunately, with the power of the plot behind him, the former outcome is achieved, enabling Pip to bring out his DESTINED DIE.

It isn’t quite over yet, however, as Roku reveals his own DESTINED DIE, and the clash of the powers of wind and ice soon creates almost blizzard-like conditions around the players. Somehow, in blatant disregard for the rules, this match has become not a game of dice, but a test of endurance- whoever falls first loses the game.
