i'm really looking forward to the artbook and trading cards. I am unfortunately a sucker for cardboard with pretty art.
Maybe they'll reprint some Sunrise Crusade+Movic+Carddass cards? There was a lot of art made for the Pachinko games, I hope those show up in the artbook.

Even the Director commented on Bamco's refusal to acknowledge the series over the years; especially compared to its contemporaries that do get new content.
I hope there is a future bluray rerelease with footage of the live events. Maybe with another animated short? (also Natsuki figure please 🙏)

HiME and Otome got pretty good international distribution all things considered, even with official dubs! (Germany, Philippines, China, France, Thai, USA, and UK)
If you dig around the internet for archives there were a lot of fanworks/doujin produced. This series was well received.

HiME's 20th anniversary saw many international fans came out in support through online messages and merch sales.
Bamco saw all of that and decided to region restrict everything for Otome's 20th anniversary lol

ah yes a perfect distillation of what these characters value and what they found in each other. sure, these are the Otome incarnations but the Hime shiznat are the same.
