Description:

Meimi Haneoka seems like an ordinary 14-year-old, but at night she becomes Saint Tail, a cat burglar-Robin Hood figure. She steals only from the dishonest and returns purloined jewels to their rightful owners. She learns about these injustices from "nun-in-training" Seira, who assures her of the morality of each assignment. Meimi's escapades attract the local police, whom she eludes as easily as the crooks, using a combination of supernatural powers and sleight-of-hand magic. A more challenging foe is her classmate Asuka Jr., an aspiring detective who's determined to capture Saint Tail. Based on a manga by Megumi Tachigawa, the series ran for two years in Japan (October 1995 to September 1996). American viewers will find that Saint Tail plays like a cross between Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura; Meimi is not as ditsy as Usagi/Serena, but she lacks Sakura's unassuming charm. Unrated; suitable for ages 8 and up: Minor cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon
