life line by line

Thanks to the god that is Maestro for uploading the Mai-HiME seiyuu cast readings and interview for me! I must say, it was a very enlightening experience to match seiyuu to HiME character and hear how different their voices are.

Read on to see my various impressions and witty remarks about the cast of Mai-HiME. Also the format of how I posted the caps are a little diffrent for this entry. I have the cast line-readings as the “massive cap” section, and then each seiyuu’s interview photo with my thoughts about them. Just click on to see what I mean…

Another DVD extra from the first volume of Mai-HiME, this time a 3:14 minute promo showing what Mai-HiME could have been but (un)luckily isn’t. However, this alternative HiME world does look like a lot of fun to watch as an spin-off

Two short clips from the first Mai-HiME DVD volume released. I swear, if the series doesn’t get licensed over here in the US I really might be tempted to just buy the R2 ones (26 eps / 2 eps per disc = 13 vols X $60 = ~$780 = very very poor Moy).

I continue to bow down to the god-like staff and crew of Mai-HiME. Continuing towards the downward-spiral of lies, fighting, depression, and death our remaining loveable cast struggle to find the answers to the HiME Festival and to end the misfortunes that plauge them. If there is one important lesson we learn about the human’s ability to cope and deal, specifically the characters’ motivation to live and find love, exemplified it’s this: Shizuru is one psycho-stalker-like-hentai.

Update: Satoshi, Mentar, and Momotato have their thoughts up!

Nice little 1 1/2 minute short of how Shizuru loves Natsuki. Cute and sweet.

I think the screencaps speak for themselves, but if anyone is interested in what Shizuru says, just leave a comment and I’ll take a shot at translating it. I think I understood most of it, and if not, maybe one of the more language knowledgeable posters can translate instead
