Mai-HiME.

Fuuka Academy History
~The Third Chapter~

Setting: Houka
The Princess Star's Destiny continues
Gathered in school, thirteen princesses...

I'm just going to post a few screens with my impressions on the characters. The only thing I could make out about the plot was a red star gave the girls their powers.

This is Mai. Average high school girl. Very cute, and has a nice personality.

This is Kuga Natsuki.
She's a bad guy at the moment. She's got funky guns she can materialize at any time.

This is Minagi Mikoto. She's really cute and can materialize a sword.
She's a little girl ~12 years old, so she can't swing it properly yet....so she drags it along the ground in a cirle once or twice and then swings. Her attack is so sparkly...

...And dangerous.

The girls can apparently materialize beasts as well. This is Kuga's beast.

It packs a punch.

Minagi also has an uber-attack where she basically cuts the ground in two.

Perfect timing!

Alright, that's all of the pictures.

This show has some great action scenes, terrific characters and voice actors, and good music(As expected from Yuki Kajiura.).
And in case anyone was wondering, no, there is not as much fanservice as there was in the trailers. Though it did have some. :p

I can't wait to see where this show is headed. I hope lots of people also get hooked by the first episode.

Mai-Hime episode 1 = 10/10

Nice job with the Mai-Hime pictures Go-chin. I haven't had a chance to see the show yet, but I've been anxiously waiting for it to start airing. Sounds like an interesting series, it definitely looks that way. :anime:

Looks like the style of Love Hina and a bit like Tenchi.

I hope someone subs this soon, I've been looking forward to watching this and it's always more fun when I better understand what's going ;). Looks cool so far though :)

All the girls in the school with these varying powers reminds me of Negima.

BTW I read this sentence "The girls can apparently materialize beasts as well. This is Kuga's beast." as 'breasts' lol

I was looking at the picture and going 'huh...whaaaat?" :D

Not bad. Pretty nice for the first episode. Here's hoping the rest of the show can leave markings, and keep the fanservce in this kind of check. I'm no Matt Wilson but the animation seemed to flow along good enough, made those action scenes appealing. I'll continue watching. I'm guessing this would just translate to Princess Mai?

Or 'My Princess'.

Though by the OP, HiME stands for HIghly-Advanced Materializing Equipment

Not quite, it's more like Scryed.

Anyway, just finished watching episode 2, it's pretty good and the music is magnifecent. The story hasn't been unfolded yet, so I really can't say too much about it.
