About My-HiME

Looking for background on My-HiME (舞-HiME)? This action, comedy and drama series by Sunrise (2004) starts out like this. The premise: Mai Tokiha thought she had enough trouble in life between taking care of her ailing brother and transferring to a new school. But when she saves an unexplained girl wielding a sword, everything changes.

Along the way, a strength awakens within her and she turns into a HiME, a clash princess! She’s not alone with this ability—eleven other girls share her fate, and the burden is a heavy one.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Mai Nakahara as Mai Tokiha and Yuuka Nanri as Nao Yuuki. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 26 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
