This is probably one of the most underrated animes in the history :(

ah, mai hime & otome....the forgotten gems of anime

This OST makes the battle epic, makes me cry at the same time

Mai Hime - the first anime I ever watched about 15 years ago, and it grabed me for my whole life like an anime fan! Now - 2018 I still listen it OST, and I still enjoy the brilliant work of Yuki Kajuira!

something I've never noticed before is how the tempo/beat is so intense that it constantly feels like its speeding up

Truly a very underrated battle song. You only heard it a few times, but every time you heard it, you knew the fight was going to be groundbreaking. I prefer Mai-Otome's battle songs, due to both MATERIALISE and Sei Otome no Inori being absolutely incredible in instrumentation and vocals, but the anime failed to correctly use the songs a lot of the time, though the few moments it did use them correctly were amazing. It's a real shame it was not every time, however. Had it been every time, it would have easily surpassed Mezame. Mai-HiMe easily has the upper hand in regard to this, due to it using Mezame appropriately in every instance you heard it. It never felt like the scene and song would stand on their own. Every time you heard it, you always had welted up feelings of sadness and/or negativity, which was what they aimed for. And the scene was always amazing and the song fit the serious nature of the battles so well. These are the kind of anime that were worthy to break the twelve episode curse, though it did not exist yet in the mid-thousands. Another thing I will say is that, despite both anime being separate timelines, Mai-HiMe is still best watched first, due to it properly explaining the Orphans a lot better. Mai-Otome just throws them at you out of nowhere and changed the connection from a beloved of the summoner dying to the host themself. Mai-HiMe gives you that minor bit of detail where it will make watching Mai-Otome more satisfying. This comes from someone who screwed up and did not know there was a Mai-HiMe, believing Mai-Otome was the only anime. Had I saw Mai-HiMe first, I would have known a bit more about Mai-Otome. Oh, and it was annoying as heck with that girl who looked like Nina. I only saw her in a single scene and it just hit me that they thought she looked cool enough to be used as one of the most important characters in Mai-Otome. Pretty funny, actually.

So glad this song popped into my head for no reason.

This song is easily the best part of the entire show.

This anime is sooooooo depressing, yet I can't help but watch it more then once!

Damned Next !

Mai Hime. Beautiful animé ☺

where can i download this song, it's awesome ^^

Love this anime! I think this music is from Tsubasa Chronicles~

its grate nothing more to say .

A epic song for an epic anime

Yuki Kajiura OP

Kagutsgi (if spelt rong sorry) is friggin E.P.I.C !!

This song- Mezame (目覚め), actually means 'Awakening' I like it soo much

go Mai her child is AWESOME!

Great

The song (named Mezame) is from Mai-Hime.. But Yuki Kajiura did the music for both animes, so I'm sure some of the songs sound similar.

this is brillant

im literally crying

Honestly, when i started watching this, I thought it was going to be disappointing, containing too many characters, but when it was unveiled they were destined to fight each other, I was quite shocked, like the time I watched Madoka Majika, This appeared to be quite satisfying to watch, considering I thought this was a Shonen Series at first(sorry!)due to Mai's and Tate's first few contacts. But it all grew so messed up and in the end it was all about the relationships almost being broken. *_*

@Angelitooblack vivaaaaaaaaaa yo la vi hace una semana y me encantó *O* aunque Alyssa no me gustó mucho como personaje. Es más mala que el demonio... xD Aunque entiendo su dolor. Debía de encontrase tan sola... Además, no debe der fácuil vivir sabiendo que has nacido para un propósito. Es como si fuera un objeto. Me parece muy injusto el trato que le dan los Sears a esta niña... pero bueno, es sólo un anime xD

WOW!!!

love anime and music :P'

i love Yuki Kajiura's music

@Seatimer636 yes this a a great anime song this is also my favorite from the OST.

@Lordsteven125 5...3.... I don't remember but I know that the first time she fully used it was when she was fighting Midori but I don't remember what episode that was

Me encanta esta cancion ^^ Te kedo chulo. Pero es verdad no sale Shizuru por ningun lado :S:S

That's certainly possible and I didn't think of that. Still...they should have given more hints that they could have come back or such a thing could occur if that was the case (kinda like clannad). And regardless, the ending is so happy go lucky that it kinda makes a joke of the earlier drama. Making it hard to take the series very seriously.

@jeanget THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING MY QUEST.

I completely agree.

What woucl you expect? its a frickin dragon vaccuming matter to his chest and then transforms it into a massive flamecannon! It's so badass! :D

the name is "Mezame" as it says in the title^^

God

don't we all... goddess of destruction, revenge and love.

love this anime. i love nagi. anyone else like him?

el Duran Shokan tambien es una muy buena song :D

i likethis

HUH??? OMG, y only a few comment only? This is a nice VID wat? Support u!! Hehe, btw, add more some my HiME vid pls~~ I like ur Edit! ^^

Kagutsuchi is sort of like an amalgamation of bahamut and phoenix from final fantasy. This track rocks too btw.

@XxLoezyxX i have no idea.....it might it called Mezame...only guessing though..

me henamora esa boz

where´s kiyohime? That Child was really awesome for real.... *O*

Esta cancion me emociona cuando inicia X3

@Lordsteven125 When you say red head do you mean Nao (the girl with red hair) or Mai (the one with the dragon thing)?

@stakitoshki Es que alyssa era una bruja, queria que todos le ovedecieran y la androide tampoco era buena no no no.....A alyssa la creo la compañia searrs por eso el carnaval de las Hime fue un caos, pero nada, me encanto ese anime!!!
