User Reviews

Awaiting DVD release in full in Australia

This series inspired me and re-fueled my passion for Anime.

Never have I come across a more complete and sturdy storyline. It is about (especially) a girl, Tokiha Mai, who has recently been granted a scholarship at the Fuka Academy.

Strange events unfold and all the tiny threads of the underlying darkness come to light. Each episode wrapped me instantly and made me want to watch more.

It had so much raw emotion that has never hit me in such a way before, and as I have only seen it in Japanese with English subtitles, I believe I have had the true experience with little lost in translation.

If you liked "Neon Genesis Evangelion" even a tiny bit, you'll LOVE Mai HiME.

Be on the lookout for "Mai Otome" - the second series.
