I wasn't actually planning to do this since I'm strapped for time but I figure I may as well make the Mai Otome review section complete. Anyway, Mai Otome Zwei is basically a 4 episode series continuation of the popular Mai Otome series. Because of this, the majority of the characters from Mai Otome make a return to this OVA-based series. Having said that, I am not about to hold my breath and hope that some unsolved mysteries from the original series will be resolved in this one. This episode itself is okay, I suppose. If you like the full-on action of the last 2 Mai Otome episode, you'd probably like this one as well. It's good to know that Sunrise finally decide to move with time and presents this show in 16:9 (Widescreen) format. This gives the story a slightly more fluid and dynamic feel during the fight scenes since the animators now have more rooms to move the characters around.
