Mai-hime

Mai-HiME (舞-HiME) is an anime series produced by Sunrise, Inc., and aired on TV Tokyo from September 2004 to March 2005. The show is about HiME, girls able to materialize magical armament and summon powerful beings called Childs to battle the monstruous creatures known as Orphans. The tone has many shōnen elements, with some parody of anime clichs, from magical-girls to romance, fan service or school life. But there are very serious matters afoot behind the comedy, and the show takes a more serious and dark turn in latter episodes. There is also a manga, however with a different storyline.

Story

Mai Tokiha (鴇羽 舞衣 Tokiha Mai) was your average young high school girl and devoted older sister who had just earned a scholarship to the prestigious Fuuka Academy. While taking a ferry to her new school though, the crew spotted and rescued a young girl found floating in the water, and gripping a large black sword. Mai happens to be the only one present who can give her CPR, and so is forced to do so. After reviving the girl, Mai notices that the girl has an odd birthmark, one identical to her own. The mystery seems to end there, until the one who put the girl in the water comes aboard the ferry.

Terminology

  • HiME, also known as Valkyries, is a name that stands for "Highly-Advanced Materializing Equipment" and refers to women with the ability to materialize solid objects from photons. HiME can be identified by a identical birthmark they all possess somewhere on their body. In addition, only HiME can see a special red star in the sky near the Moon.
  • Elements are weapons created by focusing a HiME's ability to create solid matter from photons. They serve as proof that a HiME has become aware of their own power.
  • Child is the name of the powerful beings who choose to act as guardians for the HiME. In exchange for accepting the protection of a Child, that HiME must put her most important person on the line. That means, the person the HiME cares about the most has his or her life-force bounded to that of the Child. If the Child dies, so does that person.
