life line by line

Almost two full hours worth of Mai-HiME extras can be found on the Mai-HiME Fan Disc which every MH fan probably has by now. 250 173 caps later and god knows working the limit of my pitiful knowledge of Japanese, I can now present a short (and probably wrong) overview of what the DVD has to offer!

The video segment of the DVD is mostly narrated by the lovely Mai Nakahara as if we were in class while venturing through the history of Mai-HiME. From initial production designs to the promo video to the net radio program to concert events to voice recording, there’s something to please everyone; especially the two very lengthy and hilarious cast interviews towards the end. Of course, littered throughout the sections are short AMVs using some of the character songs and all 26 episode previews of the TV series. Finally, there is a wealth of written information of character bios, settings, etc for easy browsing if one still can’t get enough of Mai-HiME. If 95 minutes worth of Mai-HiME related video isn’t enough, there’s even a small 1 minute promo where Arika of Mai-Otome ask Mai of Mai-HiME for heroine in-training advice!
