Rather interesting, both of them, although the Otome one has now gone beyond my knowledge of canon.
I feel sorry for N!Tate though. First he's got to try and wrangle a bunch of high school girls who range from Quirky (I had this very odd flash of Midori stuffing Tate into a tuxedo and mask and demanding he make encouraging remarks during all thier battles), to outright insane ("No Shizuru, I can explain why I was lying on top of a naked Natsuki, honest! It's not what it looks like!"). Then he's got to deal with a meglomanical choir girl and her killer android/private army, and the creepy monster summoning midget.
The main problem I see for him though, is that his plan is tell the HiME what's going on and hoping for the best, but he's up against a group (or groups) used to manipulating events on a global scale. After all, what would happen if they assasinated say... Haruka and framed Yukariko (who N!Tate knows is a weak willed person who can be pushed into doing bad things). Not only would they sow distrust and fear, but they'd also elimnate one of the more dangerous (on a strategic level) HiME's.
And wow, I used way to many brackets in this post...--
Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaught of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

If you become a monster to put down a monster you've still got a monster running around at the end of the day and have as such not really solved the whole monster problem at all.
