Sounds like an N'Sync song...
When I read the cover description of My My Mai, I thought
I was going to watch another Ogenki Clinic type of anime.
I actually never thought it could be worse. I wish I could
say, "Bye Bye Mai"...
...That was before I got the first volume. Surprise, surprise,
I saw the second volume before I got my hands on the first,
and now I found this title extremely amusing. If you're gonna
buy this, maybe you should stop after the first volume.
MMM is Ghostsweeper
Mikami and Ogenki Clinic
combined. Take elements from these two, put them together,
and you can actually produce a powerful combo of action and
comedy. The girl-type Ranma dead ringer Mai is actually a
well-known consultant who solves people's problems especially
if they are supernatural in nature. She's a sex therapist
and a ghost buster.
Some MMM's humor leaves much to be desired, though, especially
one particular episode that was really annoying. If you are
a Roman Catholic or a Christian, take extra pre-caution to
watch your principles. You might also need to keep your anger
in check. Certain Christian symbolisms have been used for
perverted purposes in this anime, and many people, though
they may be h-fans, might find the concept offensive. I am
neither a Catholic nor a Christian myself, but I found many
of the scenes abusive to another person's sacred beliefs.
It was simply repulsive. Also, the attempt at forming a resemblance
to Star Wars, in the form of characters like Dr. Ben K. Shinobi,
is as lame as an insecure flamer girl who was born with an
idle mind and too much spare time.
The good thing is that I'm upgrading the rating because the
other episodes we simply funny. Without those, I would've
been left fuming. It's a drastic change since the initial
rating I gave MMM was a 1-paw!
