Anime Thoughts: My-HiME

When I put together my latest look back at the anime I'd seen in the three months before, I neglected to mention one particular series I'd already started into. As much it had been a long time getting around to, I was in a tentative and uncertain mood about just how I'd be summing it up when it was all over...

As in a number of other cases, the first time My-HiME really registered on me was its licensing announcement. The enthusiasm other people showed for it did get my attention... but for some reason, I kept thinking they weren't saying enough about what the show was actually about. Because of that, I wound up thinking I'd wait for the DVDs to be released... but the accusations of diffidence in authoring and packaging (I suppose it would only get worse from there in general for the unfortunate Bandai Entertainment) sort of killed my enthusiasm. Then, the opinion seemed to build the series had one of those legendarily bobbled endings... For a while, I had something of a wild guess on what must have gone wrong. Then, that thought happened to get inverted through a not quite specific "spoiler"...
( I suppose I still had enough curiosity about the show, though... )
