Mai-HiME 04


Ah, the classic Japanese tale of underwear thievery. A fine tradition it is.

I really enjoy the show when it's playing for laughs. The action sequences, on the other hand, are pretty painful. Funny, yes, but not in a good way. My concern is that, as the show progresses, the poorly executed drama and action will take center stage, thus leading to much sucking.

The writers, however, can compensate by killing off Nagi. Now.

Liked the Kimi Ga reference.

The poorly executed action?? Jeff, are you feeling well???? :)

I'm surprised how many reviewers tend to insist to point out how much it may suck eventually instead of enjoying what you're getting right now. Most of my worries about this show are gone by now.

Haha, nice Kiminozo reference. Daikuji was cool as anything. She had a really weird voice too.
