Actually I think maybe it's the first time that Yuki Kajiura actually tried her best to make her music fit into the anime... this time her music blends into the flow of the anime quite well, only right when Natsuki summons the dog and the real fight begins, you can clearly hear the "Yuki Kajiura feel" in the music (holy-song-like style I guess). Still it bends into the action very well and never becomes too intrusive as to take over the scene. Great work composing music for the anime this time Actually the background music has been there enhancing the atmosphere for a long time already (it starts from Natsuki approaching the door I think) but only after the fight starts and the vocal part begins that I notice it. that's a first for Yuki Kajiura music I think Oh and the guitar music before is quite nice too.

Anyhow I believe it is pretty much much ado about nothing. It is too early to judge the music with only one eps.

well, Yuki Kajiur's music tend to take over the show right from the first episode... Noir, .hack//SIGN, Avenger, MADLAX, Cossette, Aquarian Age... It's quite rare to see that Yuki Kajiura's music blends into the show, not the other way around Even if it's just once, I'm already a bit surprised...

I grabbed the AKeep version and the Shining versions...not the Static, unfortunately. But between these two groups, they were both good quality, I think. As far as translating goes...I did notice that
Spoiler:
My question is: what did Static use? I know the whole play on words and everything. In the context "HiME" made more sense...I think, lol. |

If you are referring to approximately 14:50, Static Subs said: Spoiler:
So SS seems to agree with AKeep.

Wow.
Now this looks very promising. A cool, non-jarring Kajiura soundtrack, some fresh ideas and possibly a simple yet interesting story. Looks like a keeper as far I'm concerned. On another note, I'll wait and see if other fansub groups would be working on this before settling down on one version to follow. |

I really liked the first episode.
It`s been a long time since a first episode grabbed me this much. Plot seems okay-ish. hard to tell but iy shows some potential. I love the characters. Mai is really cool. and very cute. Animation was good. Just enough humor and the fanservice wasn`t overdone, which was my biggest fear. This was just enough. so for now a big thumbs up for my hime! |

I've been waiting months to watch this anime, and it looks amazing now that its finally aired.
However, I recently moved to a university residence and the only internet access I have from my room is through a server which denies use of p2p networks, so I can't use IRC or bt. Does anyone know of a site that hosts this anime for direct http downloading? Thats seems to be only way I can see it without waiting even longer for it to come out on dvd. Thanks. |

This show's animation definitely meets my standard, but the character designs don't appeal to me at all. >_>;;

The promo was released just before the start of the spring anime season.
At the time I had the idea that it would at least air in the summer... and I was dead wrong. It was worth the wait though, the only promo I ever saw was the spring one though. I'm starting to understand how the 3 main girls will be able to get along now from watching the subs, it cleared a lot of things up. My favourite already is the gunslinger. I'm not very fond of the sword girl, and Mai is... well, so-so.

for the sword girl... forget about the girl, it's all about the sword! I mean, can you imagine anything hotter than a long slick black sword with shining red eyes |

The sword is sooooooooooo badass (especially how it went Moses on the cruise ship), but the girl's hair-do...holy geebus, I cringe whenever I see it. >_< |
