The only good thing that came out of Otome: Gundam parodies

Sunrise. They did Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny prior to Hime and Otome respectively.

Here, MOAR:
Why would Otomes need a runway? Why would they be launched exactly like Gundams? Where did the originality go? Now I would ask is where are the power plugs, they'll use to much power to take off. How could you forget the cabels, Sunrise?

LOL moar!

One thing I like about Sunrise though, is that their anime tends to have a rather deep background story. As in there are many facets to the story besides what's shown in the anime.

It's just bullshit to cover the fact that they can't tell a good story without screwing a perfectly fine animu with interesting concepts.

I'm completely confused by the whole faction/politic crap happening in Otome. There's too many factions, with retarded rulers (NO U! MY OTOME! KILL HIM!) and retarded citizens (OMG LAWL IT'S OK MASHIRO QUEEN, despite you being a total jackass since the first day you have complete power, as a child, over our nation, it's perfectly fine for us to re-elect you after a small amount of poor people saw you defending them from dying hurr hurr), retarded plots (hay lol inane plot twist of Nina being the true princess that came out of nowhere! And don't get me started on the retarded OMG ero ero erstin is evil! thing), retarded SUPAA POWAH (I can't keep track of what gem belongs to who, nor could I remember why Otome needs a master, though people like Nao can use her spider man robe anyway in the end without a master), I have no idea why I even bothered watching episode 14~25.

They tried to stuff too many crap down our throat when they finally realised they did nothing in storytelling during the first dozen episodes. That's bad.

I felt the same way initially watching GS and GSD, which is why I headed to Wiki. I would assume that Wiki has something on Otome as well. But really, it isn't that bad of a story, once you get the hang of it. Granted, some characters were underutilised (Takumi for instance, having only one episode to his credit), but I thought it was a good anime nonetheless.
