SynopsisMeimi Haneoka, 14, is a normal girl during the daytime, but during the night, she assumes the "position" of Saint Tail, a modern-day Robin Hood who steals from thieves and gives items back to their original owners. She is aided by her friend, Seira Mimori, a nun-in-training, and she is chased by her classmate (and soon-to-be love interest), Daiki Asuka (often called "Asuka Jr.").

If you're looking for a good cops and robbers / cat and mouse anime like Lupin the 3rd, keep looking - because even though this series is about a thief and a detective trying to catch her, the robberies aren't really what you will watch out for. In fact, I would describe Saint Tail as a love story or romance anime extended over 43 episodes. The thefts are merely a backdrop to the developing romance between Meimi Haneoka and Asuka Jr.
Meimi, of course, is Saint Tail and the young detective trying to catch her is her classmate Asuka Jr. You'll have to suspend your disbelief with this one as one impossibility after another keep Saint Tail out of the cops' grasp. And another thing - it's not as if she actually hurt anybody. Who will persecute someone who steals somebody's running shoes and return them to the original owner, anyway?
But as I said, you won't really dwell that much on the robberies. Like me, you'll probably get hooked on Meimi and Asuka Jr. and waiting for the moment that Asuka Jr. finally catches Saint Tail. Lighthearted and cute, this anime is definitely one of my favorite classics. read more

Well... What can I say? This anime is my most recent obsession... Basically, I love it! It was so cute! I loved Asuka and Meimi's relationship....! It was so cute........ This really reminded me of Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne though. They both are Kaitos, or theives. They both pray to god! They both have cute couples! They both know someone who is trying to catch them! So similar....wow! Anyway, i love this anime! I think anyone who watches it will too! This anime will steal your heart! tee hee....

Both are about stealing and love.
they are both (so call)thiefs
I have always found these shows to be similar. Both steal for the sake of god, and to help people. both have crazy female characters who want to catch the main character. and both shows have romances between people who shouldn't know the main character's identity. They're both very good shows :)
Both have female thieves who steal for the good of others.
The whole thing is almost the same. The mai character has a secret the she is a super theif who steals things for good rather that bad. They are both being followed by the police closely, and are close with the child of the main police officer. And they have the typical magical girl transformations.
they both are thiefs. and both girls are chased by a person they know. also there is romance. and the girls transform.
