I know that Mai-Hime and Mai-Otome are anime (and maybe manga) series that are
related by have different plots. I was wondering if there is a certain point
where they split (like FMA and FMA: Brotherhood) or if they are entirely
different plot-wise. If they are different, how are they connected beyond
being created by the same production company?

question
mai-hime mai-otome
Where does the split happen between Mai-Hime and Mai-Otome?


They're entirely different story wise, My-HiME is set more or less in our
world while My-Z HiME (My Otome) is set in a fictional universe.

They are roughly connected by the character and their personalities that
exists in both series, such as Mai's and Natsuki's rivalry, Natsuki's Same Sex
Relationship with Shizuru (In My-Z HiME they are much more open, in My-HiME
they only are open with each other about their feeling near the end) and
Haruka hot tempered personality and malapropism with Yukino always correcting
her.

Also both series portray the females being the ones with power having to also
come to terms with their adolescence and love at the same time as controling
this power. in My-HiME it was choosing to have power at the cost of the person
the girl loved the most (the warning Natsuki gives Mai before she awakens her
Child) while with My-Z HiME it was choosing to have power and never being with
a male (explained by how the Y Chromosome will destroy the Nano Machines and
thus Otome's can't have any relationship with men)

The _Mai-HiME_ series is the principal anime where Hime, an ancient power that
is born inside chosen people that will fight to determine the master of the
new millennium (between good vs evil) and a foreign organization trying to
sway the results by mimicking that power.

The _Mai-Otome_ series is supposed to be set a millennium later after human
have migrated to another planet. The technology that was used by humans to be
able to finally reach the stars is the exact tech develop after trying to
mimic the Hime ability. And as to a millennium have passed... the Hime users
was reborn a new, and the darkness follows behind them in a different
form.....
