My-HiME English Sub & Dub

About My-HiME

My-HiME (舞-HiME) arrives as an action anime by Sunrise (2004), and the premise is easy to summarize. 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.

From there, a power awakens within her and she grows into a HiME, a fight princess! She’s not alone with this power—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. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Sunrise, so the studio's house style defines how My-HiME looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.9/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Mai Nakahara voicing Mai Tokiha gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2004, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
