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 setup: 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 strength awakens within her and she grows into a HiME, a battle princess! She’s not alone with this strength—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. Mai Tokiha (Mai Nakahara) and Nao Yuuki (Yuuka Nanri) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Sunrise, so the studio's house style defines how My-HiME looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: 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. Voice casting, including Mai Nakahara as Mai Tokiha, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2004, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
