Mai Hime / My-Hime

[Desu]

I enjoyed episode two but im glad I watched it when #3 was out already, I dont like waiting a week on cliffhangers

The music is great, should keep me interested for a while yet.

After all, it seems quite obvious that she's doing all this to protect Takumi. Since she values her brother over everything else, I wonder what plot points this would reveal.

This could also be a clue as to why Natsuki didn't want Mai to unseal the dragon-thing...

Hmm... that is a good point since we still have no backstory on Natsuki. She could be acting that way because of something that happened to her in the past.

Spoiler for Episode 3:

Her mecha is hyge compared with Duran, though we've yet to see Mikoto's mecha. Any one else see another love triangle brewing here, Mai + Mikoto + one of the guys hehe. I'm wondering where her brother is going to fit in though, or if he's just going to be used as a 'source' for Mai doing what she does, to fullfill the promise her dying mum asked.

Would be nice if he became more of a central character, rather that someone who always needs saving, hell i'd settle for him ending up with one of the HiME, or the Director, both of them have weak bodies so they're perfect for each other hehe

The director was cute mind, i like her.

Definatly on my to watch list, though it's a way to go before it over throws Bleach, but it has bumped Beet down a few spaces

i hope Takumi and Mikoto are together.. they looks like a couple

[Naruto]

arh. anyone got a clue as to what
The third chapter
in the promo means?
and from the OP it looks as if Mikoto won haf a 'Child' of her own.
just a guess.... i love the huge sword plus her cat style movenment. haha in all this should be an interesting anime to follow up.

[Lee-San]

I love the 1 epside.. And the OP.. Does someone know were you can get it ?

But my download speed of Mai Hime ep 2 is 0.0/0.0 ... Grrr
Does someone has the same problem ?

[USCPharmacist]

Some of the music reminded me of some of the Madlax music (well it was done by the same person), so is actually very good. Although the setting doesn't seem to fit well with the omninous music hehe.

BTW why is the director on a wheel chair? It reminds me of Xavier. So I guess Cyclop becomes a cross dressing maid hahahahaah Mai is wolverine ahahahha

Spoiler:

I think it was in the first episode where we see her and her bro in the hospital watching as their mum dies. It flashes back to their again in the third episode this time we hear what mum says. She asks Mai to look after her brother. When Mai is fighting she uses the words 'i made a promise'.

All of this to me says that her brother is the most important thing to her, though she naturally assumes it means her life. After rewatching this episode again i cant hel pbut feel that her bro is going to be the standard weakling who always needs saving. I hope im wrong, but we'll see

All that said though, it's still an awsome series, one im sure i'll be watching

Episode 3 was interesting, especially when Mai's 'Child' appeared to save the day. And I was hoping to see more of Mai/Mikoto later in the story, since they're the cutest couple in the anime (hopefully), but I wanna know what are the rest of the people are gonna do about them.

Enough saying, Mikoto is teh cutest girl in Mai HiME. Her cat-style movement and her blissful face whenever she's served with food....

[Phych]

Just saw 2 and 3 this morning and I hafta say that this is one I'll definately follow. I like how they introduced Mai's power and Child. I wasn't impressed with Mai in the first episode, but in 2 & 3 she's starting to get cuter, and I'm interested to see what happens next. Kuga Natsuki is freaking hot too...I would like to see more of her also .

Spoiler:

because the white fog is back.

The staff who worked on GIRLS Bravo had nothing to do with the fog, Fuji TV added it due to their new censorship policies.

And Mai-HiME airs on TV Tokyo, so Fuji TV has nothing to do with the series.

I'm wondering about the dragon-thing. It's got this big sword stuck in its jaw. Is that supposed to be part of the design or something?

Mai has the bracelet things, Natsuki has the pistols, and Mikoto has the sword. Since Mai and Natsuki seem to have their own mecha-types as well (dragon-thing for Mai and dog-thing for Natsuki), I wonder what Mikoto's mecha would look like.

It looked very much to me like a barely controled stream of fire.

Spoiler:

my opinion is that Mikoto's mech is the sword, and her powers is her cat-like agility

I wonder if the sword will transform into something..

[sinistral]

I have to say my thoughts, and maybe some of you might agree.
From Ep 3 :

1) Kagutsuchi looks like Leviathan from Final Fantasy 8, this time its a Fire type This is based on the sound it/he/she makes, which is a sound made by whales i think.. and definitely the body is streamlined.

2) *People might disagree on this* Mikoto is a most likely cat reincarnate. She hates baths, and move like a cat(Episode 2).

[BeNighted]

I just watched episode 1-3 of My HiME and I think I like it!

It didn't blow me away at first, because I was slightly distracted by the fanservice xÞ The animation during the fight scenes was amazing though! Mikoto is just the cutest thing in the world when she's not fighting *pets her lovingly* Also, the voice talent is very impressive! I checked out all the seiyuu and I was a little shocked with all the people I admire being in this!

I have a feeling the plot will be getting slightly darker in the near future.. which is always a good thing. All I hope is that the show keeps the elements it has at the moment... but maybe a little less fanservice? Even though it looks like some hentai crept into the episode four º__º Oh, and one last thing:

Spoiler for episode 3:

Did anyone else think that Kagutsuchi was like a last level summon from Final Fantasy? Talk about overkill! That ugly ass creature didn't really deserve that much of an attack

*lifts his hand* I agree with you, Mikoto acts like a cat. Now if only she has neko mimi...

Spoiler for for episode 3:

and where the heck Mitoko put her mouth when she glomped Mai?

[Painless]

I don't really understand all the talk about fanservice (AniDB even includes "ecchi" in the genre list). Let's go through the episodes so far:
Ep 1: closeup of Mai's fully covered breasts for comedy purposes.
Ep 2: Haruka's (again, fully covered) breasts bounce once.
Ep 3: an extremely tame bath scene. Mai doesn't even go naked and get redressed in a skin-tight B&D suit when she gets her Elements.
From the preview, it seems that episode 4 might actually feature girls in swimsuits (OMG ECCHI). Don't get me wrong, I usually dislike shows featuring ditzy women running around in skimpy clothing for no real purpose. I just can't see what all the fuzz here is about.

[???]

There's absolutely nothing bad see girls in swimsuit. I mean look at the guys with ther ball bouncing

ECCHI ? i dont see that this serie will going to have sex relation. This anime is more based on saving the world then character relationship.

Well at least they avoided the cliché cat girl with ears up her head and a tail...
