Mixed Feelings
What do you get when you combine a sexy big breasted girl with a perchance for losing her clothing with stories of mystery and mysticism? Why you get My My Mai and a whole lot of animated boobs and echii situations. Poor Mai is never going to be able to get married.

The story is a bit of a Frankenstein of themes. Mai is a super counselor, though I am not sure this really translates that well. She’s part private detective, psychologist, and exorcist. Clients come to her as a last resort, when everyone else fails Mai can get the job done. The series consists of four stories, two of which are related but encompass completely different situations. There isn’t anything deep about any of them and the basically revolve around getting Mai out of her clothes or being fondled or molested by the rest of the cast. Some of it is pretty amusing in that "I shouldn't really think this is funny but it is" kind of way. The highlights being Mai "exorcising" Satan while wearing a bikini made of crosses and the acupuncture treatment to cure a doctor of his multiple personalities.

Mai is pretty standard for this genre of heroine. She’s a bit inconsistent in the way that she constantly exposes herself to everyone in the story yet still remains sheepishly embarrassed by other echii situations. Despite having absolutely no depth at all, she’s still pretty likable as a character. The rest of the cast is all in supporting roles and with a few exceptions only appear in one story. A few of them had some potential but they are never given enough screen time to become all the interesting.

The art is a mixed bag. The animation is fluid and well drawn and I did like the character models for the most part, though the hair styles in particular are extremely outdated and kind of silly looking (Particularly in Mai's case). Typical of the era this was made, the color palette feels washed out and boring. Since the main focus of this show is about T&A, I can say that element of the show is well done. I have always preferred the more realistic body types and chest measurements common from this time period to the saggy over the top back breaking boobs of today’s anime. The voice acting performances a fair but nothing that stands out. There isn’t much in the way of musical performances, and none of it is memorable either.

Overall I had some fun watching this title. My expectations were low to start but it has a few laughs and it’s pretty short. So if you just have a little time and like echii comedy or animated boobs then you might get a little enjoyment from My My Mai.
