Okay given, the story somewhat sounds like your typical magical girl anime. Sailor Moon and Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne comes to mind. But, wrong! The first few episodes are fun. The main characters ar introduced with nice slap stick humor. But even there you get the feeling there is more to Mai Hime han meets the eye. It's more drama with way darker themes. With episode 16 things start to get serious and we get know what it really means to be a HiME. Now things change and it becomes one of the most intense animes ever. Everything is ripped apart and you feel with each one of the characters. Never before has an anime managed to create such a variety of believable characters, but yet even though there are so many you still won't get confused. I really recommend this anime also male viewers and older anime fans. You won't regret it.
BTW: The animation is really good too.
