**Genre:** Probably Shoujo/Fantasy or magic

**Type of media:** TV show/OVA?

**Characters:** Mostly girls with one main heroine and a male protagonist
living in modern times (school attendance was probably involved)

**Plot:** The story revolves around girls with "spirits" they use to fight.
The main heroine was using a "fire spirit" but only after she accepted it in
one of the episodes. There also was a smaller girl, which was firstly her
rival but they became friends after some time. The little girl was using a
huge sword and in one scene in park lot she cut a car in half. Apart from the
girls there is also a love story involved with the main heroine and a boy. In
the end they have to fight some evil villain.

**Time range:** I watched it around year 2006?

I know this is as vague as it can get, but if someone could recognize it - it
would be much appreciated!

mai-hime
What is this show about girls that use "spirits" to fight?


Sounds kind of like [Kaze no
Stigma](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaze_no_Stigma) (Stigma of the Wind). A
24 episode series that aired back in 2007.

Here's [ANN's
synopsis](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7473):

> Ayano is the heir to the house of Kannagi, a house with ties to the spirit
> of fire, whose members are all fire users. All except for her cousin,
> Kazuma. After he was defeated by Ayano, his father banished him from the
> house in disgrace. Kazuma ran off and changed his surname to Yagami. He
> formed a contract with the spirit of wind and becomes a powerful wind user.
> Four years later, he returned.

Actually, the first title that appeared in my mind when reading your
description were these three animes called....

**Magic Knight Rayeart** [(MAL
Page)](http://myanimelist.net/anime/435/Magic_Knight_Rayearth)  
But then it only fits "The main heroine was using a "fire spirit" but only
after she accepted it in one of the episodes ...The little girl was using a
huge sword... In the end they have to fight some evil villain." and it won't
fit "living in modern times"

But then, when I tried googling, I also found....

**Shakugan no Shana** [(MAL
Page)](http://myanimelist.net/anime/355/Shakugan_no_Shana)  
It fits "The main heroine was using a "fire spirit"..., ...firstly her rival
but they became friends after some time. The little girl was using a huge
sword too. Apart from the girls there is also a love story involved with the
main heroine and a boy. In the end they have to fight some evil villain." and
are "living in modern times".

But after searching more thoroughly, I found....

**Mai-HiMe** [(MAL Page)](http://myanimelist.net/anime/98/Mai-HiME) [Wikipedia
Page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My-HiME) It seems to fit most of your
description.

Sorry for this kind of random guess, but well even if none of them is the
answer, at least it makes the possibility getting narrower...

First thing that popped into my mind was date a live because u said "the story
revolves around girls with "spirits" they use to fight." And using a "fire
spirit" but only after she accepted it in one of the episodes. There also was
a smaller girl, which was firstly her rival but they became friends after some
time. The one who was the heroine didn't use a fire spirit but there was a
female who did and accepted it in the series and there is also a girl spirit
who uses a huge sword and the main heroine is a boy. I hope this helped
