Well, yeah, there's a ton of bad S/N fics. Especially bad AU S/N fics.

I'll admit, Haruka didn't mean as much to me in HiME. I think I first liked her because Yukino did, and I loved their reunion in the final episode best of all. So cute. It probably made a big difference that Haruka was an Otome instead of just a Key. It made her a rival to people like Shizuru and Natuski, instead of a nuisance. So instead of Yukino being the only person who seemed to like her, Arika is starstruck upon their first encounter, and she's one of the most beloved people in Aries. And she should be protecting Yukino, not the other way around.

I was very relieved that Nina's return in Zwei didn't mean a rehash of the Sergey thing. (Plus, if she still was an Otome, that had to mean she wasn't in a sexual relationship with him.)

Definitely the ending was better on HiME. For me the most memorable part of the ending of Otome was their reactions to youthful Maria. But it was a thrill to see people like Natsuki and Nao working together (if you can call cutting her pants off that), instead of at each other's throats.

I'll see if I can turn anything up on the Garderobe thing.

Sincerely, Allaine
