El-Hazard: russstevens.blogspot.com's Last Anime Review

This is one of the must own anime series as far as I am concerned. El-Hazard has the humor that would make it the perfect anime for Adult Swim. It would serve as a nice crossover for the AS fans who just want humor, and are pissed about the Saturday anime block.

Again this is an argument that I touch up a bit with my Animeflow website. Also, this will be the last anime review on russstevens.blogspot.com, so here is the only midi I have not reposted that will not fit with my new anime blogQueen's "Another One Bites the Dust".

"El-Hazard: The Magnificent World - Night 1"

Under Shinanome High School, an ancient shrine has been discovered, supposedly by Katsuhiko Jinai. Many of his classmates believe him to be lying about this a long with his class presidency election victory, and his sister Nanami a long with Makoto Mizuhara are out to impeach him. Jinai is fed up with being out done by Makoto, and decides to get his lifelong rival out of the impeachment scene the night before the trial. When he nearly catches Makoto, the entire school freezes except for Makoto. Makoto, wondering what has happened, wanders into the shrine. Here he meets a women who claims to know him. She is weak and decides to use whatever strength she has left to transport him to El-Hazard.

Exposition seems to be slow in every series, but at least we get a pretty good idea of what the characters are going to be like. With Jinai's annoying voice and attitude, he should make a descent villain. Nanami is the ideal foil for her brother and will probably work out well. And who will not enjoy the drunk gym teacher? All of the characters seem to make for an interesting supporting cast to surround Makoto, the character we're all suppose to relate to. The cast is mixed up in a similar style as "Tenchi Muyo!" (the directors are the same), but a greater draw to this series is a running story instead of the sitcom style TM (OVAs). A long with all this, there is great animation and an excellent soundtrack which makes it a must buy for any anime fan.
