Mai Hime / My-Hime

[Trax]

Checked out the first 3 episodes of Mai HiME today (been trying out alot of new series for that matter) and like it so far. I renamed the eps to Mai HiME, the translated english title "My HiME" just doesn't sound right to me. I hope this will indeed be 26 eps unlike the 13 that is claimed by some sources.

Quick rundown of my impressions on some of the characters so far:

Mai: confident and slightly mischievous (at least towards that guy she first met on the ferry) girl, very protective of her brother and seems like a natural as a HiME, she surprised both the other involved people and herself
Takumi: the 'weak' brother, although I don't think the weakness is for lack of character but only due to his affliction (anyone have an idea what this affliction is yet?)
Mikoto: weird girl with catlike habits, has some unusual origin, and is looking for her brother who might be somewhere on campus. Quite affectionate towards Mai (and usually cute in that disposition) Wonder if he will have the same strange habits...
Natsuki: bit of a psycho, and might have killed Mikoto or gotten Mai killed (not to mention the people on that ferry) which seems odd when she basically warned them they would die if they came to the school. Perhaps she doesn't want any competition?

eh? how does Natsuki give you the impression that she might have killed Mikoto or gotten Mai killed? As far as I can tell, this story is being told chronologically and that everyone only has one life to live. Do you mean she wants to kill Mikoto or Mai?

Just when I thought I had no mood to watch episode 2 (yes, I forced myself to click the file..) I ended up breezing through it and then episode 3, and now I'm excited for episode 4! Well from the looks of it, episode 4 is loaded with fanservice, but that's to be expected with such a colorful cast of female characters.

I think what Trax means is that Natsuki almost got Mikoto and Mai killed on that ship, ie. she is fully intent on killing them to prevent them from coming to the school.

Possibly, but it was Mikoto that sliced the Ferry in two and nearly got them killed ;p

(I may not have used the perfect wording above, so it was a bit unclear what I meant)

Well Mikoto was to blame aswell for being reckless, but Natsuki actually started it and turned the ferry into a battlefield which really wasn't necessary. And if Mai hadn't been able to block off some of Natsuki's attacks with her first showing of HiME powers both she and Mikoto may have been killed already. It didn't look like she was holding back at all, it was just fortunate she finally decided to leave them alone after another warning. So Natsuki is still a psycho in my book, and I'm not really sure why. But I'm sure we'll found out. :P

ok peeps Static-Subs has released ep4. go get it and have a nice laugh

Spoiler:

Of course after all this Natsuki stuff no one asked the better question.

How in the heck did Mikoto FLOAT in the water carrying the HEAVY sword?

Just like anything else that doesn't make sense, it's because of magic

Episode 4, first 6 minutes..

*nosebleeds*
*dies from blood loss*

[LoveOfAnime]

Episode 4 was awesome. I have never laughed so hard.........

Spoiler:

Especiallyw when Mikoto was playing with Mai's boob and when the dark haired chic's skirt flew up and her face went blood red and at the end when the bra fell on Mikoto's face.

This show is definitely going places. I cannot wait for 5.

After seeing episode 04:

Spoiler:

Ahh...so that's why Kuga isn't wearing panties. When I first saw that screeny, I thought she was just a sl...umm bold girl . But I gotta admit, those scenes after she lost her panties was pretty cute and funny. And what the? A monster that steals and eats (female) underwear as sustenance? They never really explained why. Better not to ask these questions but just enjoy it I guess.

[fairx]

Behold the Giant Tentacles LOL XD

Spoiler:

Eshesheshe... <-- Laughing

[Mashimaro]

Spoiler:

Episode 4..Ha I loved every one of Mikoto's face expression and action in this. Mostly the expression at the very end when the panties was covering her eyes.
Natsuki was also great in this episode. Must've been very embarassing

[Maceart]

Spoiler:

when Natsuki shoots Nagi (annoying white haired kid) and flusters him. I surely enjoyed the hentai moe moe references in the tentacles too

man Mai-HiME is freakin awesome!!!

[daft27]

Kuga in episode 4 is just gold.

[Wandering_Youth]

Ooolala, episode 4 was just hilarious and we got to see the embarassed/cute side of Natsuki. I would never expected her to have such a hobby. The part where she shot Nagi was priceless I was expecting him to dodge that shot too.

[anbu-burger]

Panty Down!

[sinistral]

episode 4 was pretty nice... definitely still love Mikoto~ and Natsuki.. sexy the ending was funny still!~!
