I didn't mention this before, but Gaia's TOS is also against handing out links to liscenced manga. And since Mai HiME liscenced as a manga as well, that's a no no too. ): Sorry y'all. Thanks for your cooperation. heart

Just a friendly reminder, Gaia's TOS states that you are not allowed to ask for links to liscenced anime or manga.

Regarding downloads, while links to non-licensed material are tolerated and are generally acceptable, threads having links to web sites or other resources containing illegal downloads of licensed anime and/or manga are not permitted on the forums. Asking for or giving out such content is a warnable offense and any topics or posts created for such a purpose will be removed. This sticky covers the largest listing of unlicensed anime.
Note: Linking to a site that contains licensed materials, even if you aren't linking to the materials in question, ie a picture gallery when the site contains a media page with downloads of licensed manga, is still considered linking to licensed materials and a ToS violation. Any and all threads asking for download links of any sort will be removed from the forum and the creator punished if necessary. The downloads sticky covers the largest hub of unlicensed links.
Mai HiME and Otome are liscenced anime (at least in the United States, sorry to our foreign friends it's not out to yet sad ) and therefore you may not ask for or provide links to downloads of the episodes. This includes streams of it as well, such as YouTube.
Go buy the discs if possible, we want to reward teams for putting out good series right? If you're low on the monies I feel your pain try half.com, amazon.com and even some half price book/movie stores in your area for used copies. Just beware of bootlegs, those are full of lose for both you AND the anime companies.
As of 2/Feb/2007, Otome has been liscenced by Bandai. No more asking for Otome downloads. Thank you.
As for Otome, at the time of writing this, it is unliscenced, and available on the torrent search site http://www.animesuki.com/.
All the torrents on this site are liscence free. They are by no means legal according to international copywrite law, but Gaia Online accepts the posting of unliscenced anime.
For a good thread on resources to finding low cost/free ways to get your hands on some anime, check out this thread.
Thank you for following these rules and keeping the guild safe from being banned. (:
