My-Hime Z: My-Otome, Vol. 1

$!@#ing Gorgeous
If you liked My-Hime, you're gonna love this one, and if you've never watched it you're still gonna enjoy My-Otome regardless, because the stories are not related, so it's perfectly safe to start with this one.
The music and the characters are beautifu and I think the story and the series in general are WAY better than My-Hime.

This is a pretty good start. It's not really a sequel to the original My Hime series. It has a similar plot, and some similar characters, but it's not connected to the events of the original. You can watch this one without seeing My Hime. At this point I've watched half of this series, and I prefer the My Hime series. I liked the character, Mai, better than the main character in this one, Arika. The characters in this show aren't as good as the 1st series. On the...
